Book Overview
In the tropical paradise of nineteenth-century Barbados, two powerful men and one beautiful woman are drawn into a passion that will tie them together-and possibly destroy them... Allen Pendale only meant to entertain himself during his long voyage to the Caribbean when he shamelessly offered to tutor the beautiful Clarissa Onslowe in the sensual arts. He never expected to fall in love with her, or that his erotic instruction would lead her into the life of a courtesan-and win her the affections of another man. Used to getting his way, wealthy plantation owner Lord Lemarchand-otherwise known as March-will let nothing come between himself and Clarissa, the seductress who's aroused every fiber of his being. Not even if it means destroying everything in his path, including the woman he loves. Bound together by chains of desire, passion, jealousy, and betrayal, this fragile triangle will be forced to face the ecstasy of their desire, along with the perils of their forbidden passion. And if Clarissa can't bring herself to give up her nightly pleasures, her dangerously sensual ways will bring about her downfall.

Historical erotica, not romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This novel is pure erotica. I liked it a lot up until near the end when the plotline got dark. I don't feel like it fit in with the rest of the book and sort of came out of nowhere. I thought the stuff with the hero's birth mother was ridiculous; that's why this gets four stars instead of five. If you like historical erotica, do give this book a try.
An Unusually Good Read!

I enjoyed this book. It had a few twist and turns that are usually not in an historical. I liked the conflicting emotions it showed between the characters and there were also the steamy love scenes. This may not be for everyone though. The love triangle is flawed, but each one of them give and take in order to be with the one they love. All in all, this was a page turner and I will read anything else the author may write.
A Good Read

I really enjoyed this book. I appreciated the descriptions of the sugar cane business on the island, and the unusual setting. Beware for the faint-hearted, it is VERY steamy!
