His Harlot - Release Day Book Review by Voodoo Bride

His Harlot (Victorian Decadence #1)
by S.M. LaViolette

What is it about:
What’s the most ruinous mistake a harlot can make?

Falling in love with her client …

Edward Fanshawe is everything Nora Hudson wants in the bedroom—and everything she should avoid out of it. He gives her the pain, humiliation, and domination she craves from a sexual partner, but his search for the perfect, blue-blooded wife means the last thing Nora should do is fall for him. Except…it’s too late. She already has.

When Edward offers to make Nora his mistress, the idea of being utterly under his dominion is as terrifying as it is titillating. As much as she wants to stay with Edward forever, she worries that living with the man she loves—the man who takes everything her body has to give and wants nothing to do with her heart—will eventually destroy her.

But then Nora meets the woman Edward intends to marry and her situation becomes considerably more complicated. And erotic…

His Harlot is an angsty, dark, standalone historical erotic romance novel featuring consensual BDSM and both M/F, F/F, voyeurism, exhibitionism, explicit love scenes, and YES, a happily ever after!

This is EROTIC ROMANCE, not erotica. That means this has a real story and lots of it.

!!!!!!!TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!! marital infidelity, sexual abuse, miscarriage, & lots of kink.

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
This is a hot and delicious read.

I usually don't like romances where there is infidelity, but I must say I didn't mind that in this book: it fit the story perfectly.

Nora is a working in a brothel, so even if she is in love with one of her clients, she can hardly stop working. As for Edward: He's stubbornly refusing to see the truth and is in total denial for a long time.

The scenes between Nora and Edward are totally steaming and intense. I was completely hooked from the start and wanted to keep reading to see if these two could not only connect bodily, but if they would finally be able to find happiness together. Next to their delicious encounters there are a couple of really spicy scenes involving others and some really yummy kink scenes as well.

And this is indeed an Erotic Romance: there might be a lot of angsting, tension, and misunderstandings between these two, but there is the well deserved HEA that had me all happy and satisfied. You bet this book is a keeper.

And I'm totally looking forward to the next book in this series.

Why should you read it:
It's a delicious Erotic Romance
