"Action packed erotica"
In 1897 London, popular Tony Venable is expected to become
the next Prime Minister as he offers sweeping changes that
excite the people. Two days later Tony is dead with a
fishhook engraved on his chest. In Bullhead Manor, while he was visiting prostitutes,
Kyger Galliard thinks of his beloved Jancie, who married
his older brother Lujan; everything changes when an
American stranger Angilee Rosalyn offers him money if he
takes her maidenhead. Her wealthy father is forcing her
to wed odious Lord Wroth for his title. She figures the
arrogant aristocrat would never marry a deflowered
female. He takes her virginity, but is shocked that he
did not think of Jancie. Top government official Lord Wyland wants Kyger to find
dirt on the assassinated Venable because he fears for its
future if people do not move beyond the assassination.
The only clue is Bullhead Manor which Tony allegedly
frequented. Kyger investigates but hears how Tony was a
hero and rumors of a Sacred Seven are somehow involved in
his murder. As the danger mounts, the "Bullhead Bull" and
the "edible virgin" fall in love, but someone wants Kyger
dead and her father has chosen the odious Wroth. Readers will enjoy this erotic amateur sleuth
investigation filled with twists and turns although the
final spin will disturb some readers. The lead female is
a courageous individual risking all to avoid an odious
marriage while the puzzled hero is delightfully human as
he is unsure what to do for the heroine and how to proceed
with the case. Though the final dispatching of the bad
guys is too easy considering how deadly they are supposed
to be, fans will receive much SATISFACTION from this fine
Victorian romantic suspense. Harriet Klausner
