The book description says it's an erotica novella, and it really is, hence making this book Rated M for Mature. What the description failed to mention is that it is also a historical romance that actually turned out to be a sweet one.Alright, erotica and sweet do not mix well. But, Temple Rivers did. The setting was 1890 London (Victorian Era)wherein proprieties are strictly observed. Yet, the book opens with two unknown lovers in "flagrante delicto" accidentally observed by the hero and heroine, separately of course.But, the Lady Elizabeth Chatham and the Earl of Stanton meet in the most unusual way; and thus begin their erotic courtship.A quick read (not a quickie though), this book is meant for those who love historical romances and erotica. For those who does not like erotica but like historical romance, try this one. It's not salacious. In fact it is sweet. And for erotica fans who does not care for historical romances, try this one also. You will find out that Victorian England is not as prude as you believe.
