My Review:
This was one of my first erotic historical romance reads.
I really enjoyed Alba's journey from neglected wife with a lowly sex life to finding her inner sexual desires and making them come true.
This story really engages the reader and keeps you on your toes of what is going to come next. You have Alba lusting after both Marcus and Caius and she believes they are lusting after her as well but what happens when she finds out they are a couple?
There were a few slow moments where the reader is sucked into Alba's head and you feel like you can't get out, but overall this was a great read.
