AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!That, ladies and gentlemen, is my cry of frustration as I have just completed episode 6 of the London Brown series and have no idea when I will be able to get my hands on episode 7!!!I loved this series and finished it in one sitting! I have an affinity for the "bad girls" - the courtesans, the escorts, the women who know their way around a bedroom. Virgins have a tendency to annoy me. So of course I was eager to read a book entitled "Confessions of a Whore". Plus I loved the cover design.London Brown is the alter ego of Desniah Williams, a young affluent black woman who also happens to be a paid escort. A very well-paid escort. Her father is a very influential man who runs in very high-class circles among society so one would ask why would she take the risk of exposing herself in such a manner? Well, for one, most of her clients are among these elite and secondly, she loves the thrill.I was especially intrigued at how London often referred to herself in third-party, as though she and Desniah were two separate people who happened to be sharing the same body - which in essence they were. Due to a childhood trauma and subsequent incident, the alter ego of London was created to deal with the issues that Desniah could not. London was strong whereas Des was weak. London was a woman who wore her sexuality with confidence and often used it to her advantage whereas Des shied away from intimacy with men. It was almost like Des suffered from multiple personality disorder only both parties were fully aware of the other at all times. It was so well-written that I found myself distinguishing between the two personalities with no confusion.In the first two episodes, the reader meets London and gets some background on Des and how London came to be. We also meet Caden who was once her childhood best friend until he left her to deal with her broken heart after his departure. The author then treats you to Caden's perspective in episode three. Caden regrets leaving Des and has returned to win her back - only he keeps coming up against the hardened London who isn't about to let him hurt Des again. In episode four, we meet Rhys who is Des' best friend. I am so in love with Rhys. He's hot-tempered and so protective of Des' and....he's a virgin. Swoooon! Rhys has a dark side, though, a very dark side and I can't wait to see where the author is going with this storyline. In episode five, the reader gets a chance to know Des more and also gets a chance to see how Rhys reacts to London's reappearance after he and Des spend an intimate night together.  Finally, in episode six London is back and she's once again face to face with Caden and his feelings for Des. Yet Des carries secrets that she feels will push Caden over the edge and it's up to London to keep him at bay.I was so psyched at how the story was broke up into episodes from each character's perspective! It was like being in the head of each person and experiencing what they experienced and getting a better understanding of what they felt. That is until episode six ended and I'm left pining for episode seven!The storylines are engaging and so good! Really! From Rhys' dark side to the ties that bind Des to Caden's father - it's like one big soap opera and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode! The eroticism is top notch and quite kinky as well as varied - from BDSM to 'breath play' (that was a new one to me) to menages - there's something for just about everyone. Because of some of the subject matter in these episodes, this series can be classified as 'dark erotica' as well. However, Leila DeSint gives you just enough dark without pushing you past your limit.I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes in this series and hope my wait won't be long. I am a fan of the London Brown series!
