I've read all of Alice Liddell's books and was excited to hear about the release of Strait's Academy. Anytime you read a favorite author you always worry that their latest book won't match up to the previous ones. But in this case, she has exceeded expectations.The plot is set in Victorian times - one of my favorite settings - an follows a young English woman named Adelaide who arrives in Singapore to learn the man she was supposed to marry has been murdered. Her husband's friend delivers the news and enlists Adelaide in a plan to help him find the truth of what happened to her fiancé.Adelaide learns that her husband has ties to a mysterious girls' school called Straits Academy, which trains young women sexually to be submissive lovers. The methods used at the school are very strict - lots of spanking and bottom play per Alice Liddell's usual offerings. It's all very hot, extremely kinky but written with such delightful description you won't be able to stop reading. (I could not put this book down).There's more than sex to this book; there's a neat little mystery woven into the story and the ongoing attraction between Adelaide and her "Uncle" Drake smolders.Another winner from Alice Liddell. I wish I could give it ten stars.
