SIMPLY CARNAL by Kate Pearce

PUBLISHER: Aphrodisia, January 2012
GENRE: Historical Erotic Romance
SETTING: England, 1826
SERIES: House of Pleasure, book 7
MY GRADE: C

SYNOPSIS: No passion is too decadent and no desire is too exotic at Madame Helene’s Pleasure House – an exclusive brothel in Regency England that offers the ultimate in erotic delights…

Christian Delornay has observed so many illicit s every need, yet she refuses to reveal her most intimate desires. But in the hands of a master it is impossible to deny her own wanton yearnings, and she soon succumbs to her secret longing for pure carnal pleasure…

MY THOUGHTS: I was very disappointed in every aspect of this book. The plotline involving the mysterious Elizabeth was only mildly interesting. The hero, Christian, meets his half-brother, Richard, for the first time and I thought it was an unbelievable coincidence that Richard was involved in the mystery surrounding Elizabeth. There were about seven sex scenes and, oddly enough, I was only interested in the first one.

We were introduced to a new sex club called Demon Club and I would like to read more about that in future books.

Despite my disappointment, this book is a keeper because it’s part of a great series that I hope will never end. The next installment, book 8, is called Simply Voracious and is about one of the employees we’ve read so much about in previous books, Paul.

I received this from the publisher in 2012 in exchange for an honest review.
