Indeed! The things one can find in one’s public library when one isn’t even looking for them. Shocking really. Or maybe we actually looked for this and one of you recommended it? Blogged it? Twittered it? Speak up, don’t blush. It’s perfectly fine if you recommend books that are a wee bit MORE than erotica. I don’t mind, really.<\/p>\n

The House of Dark Delights<\/a> was definitely more than “erotica”. It was pretty close to porn. Though I suppose one woman’s erotica is another woman’s porn, so don’t take my word for it. Go check it out at your local library. <\/p>\n

I will say that I would have enjoyed this more if the stories had followed a time line – either backwards or forwards, either would have been fine. I wasn’t there for the sex, I was there for the characters. I got some background, in fits and starts and bits and pieces and that was fine. I’d have been happier if I’d gotten more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
