Another sexy one. I love how well she writes about married couple... So far, 3 out of 3 for Ms. Gale!

Superbly written. I enjoyed reading this tale of historical fiction. It was interesting to read Ms. Gale's take on the couple's spiritual and sexual views. I would have loved to see Gabriel give in a little more in the end but Portia made her claim upon her husband which was the biggest step in their relationship.
I'm not sure I would have put this into the Erotic Fiction genre, although it is very sexual in the end it seems more of a Romance to me.

A few minor nits here and there in the text, but well written. Lots of sexual tension and emotion in this one. My biggest criticism: It should be priced.

This is the first e-book I've read, but not by a long shot is it my first 'bodice-ripper'. I'm a long-time devotee of the romance genre and this is a great, quick, gratifying read. Well structured and very accessible. Outstanding value for money! ;-)

I read this story back when I first signed in with Smashwords. I’ve just stumbled onto it again when I clicked onto the wrong spot and was surprised that I hadn’t reviewed it back then. Maybe I just didn’t know how. As the old saw goes, better late than never. This is a very good read. A little surprising considering the mindset of society at the time depicted in the story. Makes one believe that there is hope for humanity after all if she could follow her instincts and go with her gut.

I wish I could give this story more stars. As a writer of erotica myself, this is one of the few pieces I've come across that I wish I wrote.

Wow. Now that's a story. Haven't read that many books on here yet, but so far that's the best of them. The author does an excellent job of showing this woman's feelings and frustrations. I aspire to writing like this. By the way, I had to google "Onan's Sin", and I think I'm in trouble.

This one is definitely a keeper, and I'd love to see what happens to this couple and if they ever got comfortable with the physical side of their relationship. If the author ever thinks of expanding the story, I'd be more than happy to read it. :-)
This is one of the topics that I've found Christian couples (even today) struggle with. It's refreshing to see the truth of our bodies and how we can enjoy them with our spouse finally come to light in a book that is not afraid to blend the Christian faith with sex. (I, for one, am tired of the Christian romance market because it fails to shine light on the beauty of sex like this book does.) Very well done. I'm adding this author to my favorites!

I really liked this story. As with the author's other book, you can tell she actually researched the era she was writing about. Her insight into the woman's feelings was awesome. I think you'll enjoy this book.

This was a great story and presented an interesting perspective on turn of the century marriage. The heroine's emotional pain - her longing for a proper physical relationship with her husband - are expressed extremely well. An excellent short read!
