The Review:

Orchid Pink by Toni Sands is a delightfully sensuous romance that whisks the reader back to Victorian England. Adelaide Beauchamp’s quiet life is complicated by her passion for her new maid Daisy. When she succumbs to pressure to marry her father’s close confidant Thomas Mercer, Adelaide discovers an unsavory side to her new husband.

Adelaide Beauchamp is an avid horticulturist who lives an unassuming and uneventful life with her father. Never married, Adelaide’s previous relationship with Ruth Carroll awakens her sexual desire for other women and introduces her to the progressive thinking of women involved in the suffrage movement. To protect her father from scandal after she is found in a compromising situation, Adelaide agrees to marry Thomas Mercer. Adelaide quickly discovers a web of secrets and deception hovering below the surface of Thomas’s charming façade. Will the return of her former lover Ruth provide a means for Adelaide to escape her unhappy marriage?

With Orchid Pink, Ms. Sands brings the plight of women in the Victorian Era vividly to life. With few opportunities available to them, women of good breeding were expected to marry well and provide their husband with an heir. With Adelaide, we see the dilemma facing women of that time period who find themselves caught between living up to society’s expectations and the desire to live what would be considered by most to be an unconventional lifestyle.

Embarrassed and ashamed of her sexual attraction to women, Adelaide is easily convinced to marry a man she does not love to protect her family name. As her marriage slowly disintegrates, she finds few options available to escape an increasingly untenable situation. It is very easy to identify with Adelaide as she questions the decisions she has made. As the story progresses, Adelaide does not know who to trust as she learns unexpected information about her husband Thomas and other key characters in the novel.

Orchid Pink is a fascinating and complex romance with many surprising revelations. The sex scenes are deliciously steamy as Adelaide explores her sensual side first with Daisy and then with Thomas following their marriage. With well developed characters, a unique storyline and a few unexpected twists and turns Toni Sands fully engages the reader in this compelling novel of romance and life in the Victorian Era.

The Review:

Kris Andersson’s While the Wife’s Away & Other Stories is a delightful collection of short stories that will melt your e-reader.

While the Wife’s Away is a highly erotic encounter between a younger man and his much older boss. The characters are well-developed with realistic flaws and imperfections. Their sex scenes are exquisitely detailed and incredibly HOT. This is not a traditional romance, but a beginning to a mutually satisfying sexual arrangement.

Continuing with the same employee/employer theme, Masters and Servants recounts one man’s sexual adventures with his employers and fellow employees. While mainly m/m, there are a couple of m/f encounters as well. There is a bit of voyeurism in this story and the liaisons are lusty and varied. The ending of this story is unexpected but entirely satisfying.

With sexual tales of m/m and m/f sex, voyeurism, a little cross-dressing and sex with a priest The Sins of Father Anthony is guaranteed to titillate readers. While the main focus of this story is an m/m encounter with a young and sexy priest, there are a couple of scenes of m/f sex and one fabulously forbidden sexual fantasy while in church. Illicit yearnings and couplings abound in this passionate tale centered around Catholic priests.

While the Wife’s Away & Other Stories by Kris Andersson is a collection of naughty short stories that are explicitly carnal. If you are looking for a quick read with the tiniest hint of taboo sex, then you will definitely enjoy these well-written and captivating stories.
