Parlor Games is a
highly entertaining trilogy of well-written historical erotica. In
Fallen Angel, a Regency era historical, the handsome, dashing, fallen
from grace, Bow Street Runner John Valentine is to protect the
beautiful Arabella, madam of a house of pleasure, from a mysterious
stalker that wants her dead. In the Victorian era historical, Parlor
Games, the innocent and sweet Sarah chooses working in a coffee
house
that offers "parlor games" over starving in the streets. There she
meets the handsome rake, Tom Wilde, who at first lusts for her body and
pays for a month of her time, only to discover that a month is not a
enough. In the Scottish, time-travel historical, Border Lord, Brochan
Douglas spirits away with the daughter of his enemy Laird Angus
MacLellan. But it is not the beautiful Annabelle MacLellan Brochan
steals away, but Terri Campbell from present day Scottish Borderlands,
who visits the priory to escape a cheating finance, only to find
herself in medieval Scotland a hostage to sex and evenutually love with
the manly, gorgeous Brochan. All three stories have well-written
sensual scenes, but unlike some romantica, the sensuality does not
override the story. Nicely done.
