I didn't know quite what to expect of A Consummation, the first novella in the Sins of Lethe series, it sets the infrastructure storyline for future books of Lethe. And since I had enjoyed other books of Arden Aoide and never been disappointed by her writing... I started to read.I was captured from the beginning, Shula a young girl of just 18 was to enter into an arranged marriage to a much older man, a tyrant of a man called James, who she believed was evil. Her mother died to try and prevent it, her father wanted her gone.Shula is young but also brave beyond her years. She meets this challenge to marry James head on and has a plan to spite the arranged paring but her actions cause a change of events and also a change of intended husbands.. the story suddenly opens up to a whole new stratosphere of opportunities for Shula and Jared her change of direction husband and son of James.It is intelligently written with an element of intrigue that hooks you into the story. It's a little dark in places but offset with an underlying humor that shines through Arden's writing. She has set the groundwork in Consummation and I cant wait for the next book to continue the journey!!Oh...there is a cliffy ending, but hey all good authors leave you wanting more... I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something a touch dark & different in a love story with erotic undertones.
