I agree with you on the sex scenes, why put them in if they don't advance the plot? I usually pass on romance novels because of this, in my opinion, error. However, after reading the sample and your review, this book is interesting. You did a marvelous job on the review.

I love good romance, but don't care for excessive use of language and errotic scenes. It sounds like it would appeal to some, but this probably won't be one I'll be reading.

While I do like the idea of the recipes, I'm just not a reader of erotic fiction, especially if the story drops off, and if there are tons of editing problems. However, I do appreciate your detailed and insightful review.

From the sample, I can see that the book is for a mature audience. I won't mind reading it as I am curious about whether Laura's marriage will weather the storms. I'm all for keeping a family together.

Thanks for a compelling review.

Sounds as if this is quite mixed, with some uninteresting predictability, and I'm not sure about BDSM scenes. However, Lady Pamela sounds like an interesting character.

This is not my sort of book, but I like the concept of the theme. I always find it interesting that people think the older generation are are somewhat boring in their lifestyles, and definitely do not associate them with running illegal brothels! Looks can be deceiving. The relationships in this book sound well developed also.

The review sounds interesting, but I wonder whether I will enjoy it. I like so much of sex scenes.

Details about what happens in an escort service isn't my taste so I won't be reading this one. Thanks for the review.
Interested in books that help one's spirit move beyond the ordinary.

Although I think there’s a lot of interesting themes in this novel, the erotica/bdsm aspects aren’t my cup of tea.

The plot sounds intriguing but the technical errors would drive me insane. Thanks for a good review!

Erotica/BDSM isn't really my genre. But it's a very good review!

Good review. Doesn't sound like my type of book. Too much sex and romance.

This doesn't sound like a typical romance novel, very intriguing. I always wonder how people know so much about the escort service, are they perhaps one in their spare time?
