The Civil War is the
backdrop of this sensually passionate erotic story
about two lovers, lost in the confusion of a long and dreadful war as
well as their deep sensual love for one another. The most confused is
the beautiful spitfire Alli Nordstrom, who has felt betrayed for years
when her lover Jackson McCay left for the war as a traitor Confederate
Soldier, not a Union Soldier as her brothers and many of the families
in Maryland.
Alli lost more than Jackson's love, alone without her parents and two
brothers who died in a Confederate prison. The betrayal she feels for
Jackson runs deep and feels as perfect as her love and desire for him.
She realizes this even more when one night, close to the end of the
war, Jackson returns. Although so much is different and left in
shambles from the war, the passion and desire they once shared flares
immediately, together with Alli's feelings of betrayal for Jackson.
Even though she finds his betrayal so hard to forget, once again they
spend long days and nights of physical, wildly sexual love and a
stronger emotional love that begins to soften Alli toward Jackson once
more.
But just as their lives are returning to normal Jackson receives a
message that he dreads most of all. He must leave Alli again. As a true
patriot to his country and an oath he has given, Jackson leaves
brokenhearted, knowing that there is the possibility that Alli may not
forgive him next time if he returns from this last dangerous
assignment. The ending is tense and one that leaves the reader at the
edge of their seat.
Having read many Ellora's Cave Romanticas, this story is definitely one
of the best written by this author and released by the publisher. A
story that is as absorbing and entertaining as the passion and
sensuality of the characters, and one where the well-written erotic sex
scenes do not overcome the story, this is a book difficult to put down.
This reader/reviewer read it in one morning! Perfect Betrayal is a
definite must read to add to the list of historical erotic romance fans
who enjoy a well-written sensual historical! One of the Best!
