So-so book. Passed the time but I wouldn't put it on my must read or read again list. The female character in it was a bit of a brat and the two men were definitely brats. I just couldn't find any redeeming features in any of them. Also, I can't believe that only one person ever copped that the three of them were involved - they weren't exactly trying to hide their goings on. Meh - it was a diversion but not great. Sorry.

This was a fun read, many twists that kept the book entertaining. The SEX WAS AMAZING. Will look for this author and look forward to reading more from her.

I liked the concept of an historical erotic romance set in London during the 1800's. Very taboo to have a menage relationship during that time so I was excited to read this story. But this story was just ok for me. The little mystery and the whole tarot card and spiritual stuff that the Sophia was involved in was a bit much to me. The story was definitely sexy and I really liked the characters, it just seemed like the story was a bit too short and kind of felt rushed at times.

*I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book*

This has to be the more erotic historical romance I have ever read. While I anticipated that a bit when picking up the book, I was surprised by the extent it went to. While this novella was thoroughly engrossing, the conflict of the story was weak. There was no motive for the actions that occurred, at least not to me.

As a novella, it was a quick read, as in I finished it in a matter of 3 hours, but I feel that if more plot had been put into the story it could have been better and longer.

I feel that the relationship between the dukes definitely could have been fleshed out more. It all seemed so superficial, it was hard to like any of the characters.

Overall, if your looking for a very erotic, mindless read, this could work, but otherwise nah.

New to this genre of fiction and did not know what to expect. I felt the story moved too fast in some area and left me hanging in others. I look forward to reading more from this author

Hot historical ménage romance.
Humorous imagery by talk, with a historically seducing story.
You won't stop reading until the end.
So enjoyable.

I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.



As usual, I start with my thoughts on the cover. It isn't great, a bit hohum, but still gets the job done. All and all, not bad.

Now for my review

Solid story that doesn't take it's time getting started. I don't mean it jumps right into the sex. Rather it takes off story-wise rather than taking time to build up momentum. I enjoyed the humor weaved into it, which, for an erotica novel isn't always easy. Because the point of the story is to get you excited and so on. 

The dialogue is crisp. 

Characters aren't one-dimensional which is another bonus for a story centered around getting you steamed up. 

Some descriptions like 'hard as a rock' annoyed me as they're cliche and overused. But that's really nitpicking on my part. They were there and gone and you were more interested on what was happening and what would happen rather than dwelling on those words.

The build-up to the sex was rather well done. Usually I get annoyed when I have to wait to get to the good bits, but not here. The story was pleasant. It didn't knock my socks off so-to-speak, but I liked it. In saying that though, it could have been a bit shorter. Not by much, merely a smidge. Other reviews spoke of the stories ending being rushed. In my opinion it

Now, about the sex. It would have been better if it was a little more specific, but, still, it was enjoyable. Not the greatest in the world, but enjoyable.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much this story captivated me. I assumed that the story would take a back seat to the "romance" but I think that they were perfectly paired. I'm quite intrigued by where this story may go as well. If you want a hot read that will keep you entertained, this is for you.

A very enjoyable read, although the ending seems kind of abrupt. I had never read a romance/erotica novel where there were two men and one woman and overall I felt like this book was a good introduction to that theme.

This is the first I've read from Lorna James. It's a MFM menage between 2 dukes who publicly appear to be enemies but in actuality are friends who like to share their women. The female character is Lady Sophia who has been in love with Huxley for quite some time. Little did she know that Huxley has always been interested in Sophia but felt he could not act on his feelings. When Cromwell stumbles upon Sophia, he decides that he has to have her. There's definitely a lot of heat and intrigue going on between the characters. I did find the supernatural tones that were peppered into the story a bit distracting though. Apparently Sophia's mother had some kind of gift of sight or connection with those from beyond along with being able to read tarot cards. Because of this Sophia believes in these things as well. If you're interested in tarot cards along with everything else then it might interest you, otherwise it seemed a bit much. Sophia puts so much stock in the cards it takes away from just enjoying reading about the budding relationship that is going on with the two dukes.

This is an Erotica regency romance involving a ménage relationship. It is full of graphic sex scenes between the Sophia and her two men Huxley and Stone. This was an easy and steamy story filled with humor and fun moments as well as some serious times and a bit of mystery. I realize that this is a novella, but the story felt a bit rushed and more pages dealing with background and period details would have added greatly to the story line. The historical time frame was a bit wrong in this story and loosely seemed to adhere to the time-period. Overall, I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more from Lorna James.
I was gifted an advanced copy of this story by NetGalley for my honest review.

As a fan of historical romances and of things metaphysical and spiritual, I have to say this book really whetted my appetite for both topics. It was a wonderful blend of both, not to mention the steamy happenings between Sophia, Stone, and Huxley. I enjoyed this book very much and I look forward to reading more from this author. I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Well written and fun from the get go. The role of the two dukes actually feels real, and Lorna James has done a good job in making the plot believable. This really helps make the romantic even erotic moments enjoyable and satisfying.

I very highly recommend this book and author to anyone who loves reading erotic historical romance. Spicy, sexy, and hot. Have a fan ready!!!!!

I received this book from netgalley.com to read and review. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I love historical fiction and the twist of this genre was very enjoyable. The characters of Sophia, Stone, and Huxley were compelling and strong. This was the first book I've read by Lorna James and will not be my last. I loved the development of the relationship between these three characters. The love between them was very realistic and true. I hope to read more about these three. It could easily be made into a sequel.

Short, sexy read! I thoroughly enjoyed this historical romp with added menage. I was expecting a pretty straightforward story mostly involving sex but was also pleasantly surprised by some added mystery and intrigue with the supernatural. This book was a lot of fun.

Interesting tale of historical romance intermixed with psychic events. Sophia is a young inexperienced woman who read an inappropriate book. And since she read that book she can’t stop thinking about the activities in it. She has a long standing crush on Huxley but he doesn’t appear to feel the same. Then one night she met Stone and started to have inappropriate thoughts about him.
Stone has finally found the woman he wants to marry. She is an innocent virgin but has lots of carnal desires. She seems to be the perfect woman to spend the rest of his life with and someone he can still share with his best friend/enemy Huxley.
This was a pretty humorous historical romance. Definitely not the typical one.
I enjoyed reading this and look forward to more by this author.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Sophia is a lady in the 1700's. She is into tarot reading and books, things that ladies are discouraged from doing. Stone and Huxley are Dukes and friends. They also like to fight and share women. A steamy, menage historical romance. I really enjoyed reading this book.

I received an arc from netgalley and am leaving my review.

I am still on the fence about this one. On one hand, I enjoy historical menage a trois much more than contemporary ones. That being said, this one did have it’s faults. While I enjoyed the dynamic between the two male leads, I didn’t feel much chemistry between them and the heroine.The mysticism aspect also came off as convenient writing. It could have really added to the story but instead it just seemed to excuse why things were the way were without much explanation.

Overall, I did enjoy this read. The storyline was interesting enough and most of the erotic scenes are well written. I wasn’t wowed by it, but, knowing what I know now, I would have still read it.
