bookshelves: erotic-fiction

This is a very 'naughty' bit of spice indeed.

Much in the style of Fanny Burney and traditional 18-19th century erotica, the author has emulated the style with aplomb.

Quite a romp, with some major eye-openers (unless you read this sort of thing all the time, in which case I expect it's all 'meat and two veg' with an extra dash of gravy - so to speak!)

I found the plot inventive and felt involved in the progress of the leading characters, but the book's strength lies in its sensuous descriptive passages. These really are quite evocative (and provocative).

Three cheers and a big thumbs up.
I'll have another serving of this anytime.

Quotes Hamish Liked

Emmanuelle de Maupassant
“There is enough conformity in the world Lord MacCaulay. I doubt that mine, or lack of it, will send the planet from its axis. Meanwhile, my heart does not soar for the riches you set before me. Perhaps one day, I may feel differently. For now, I wish to taste that which most women do not.”

Mademoiselle Noire - The Gentlemen's Club”
Emmanuelle de Maupassant, The Gentlemen's Club

Emmanuelle de Maupassant
“In various states of undress, those about her joined in her fondling, lowering their mouths not only to her nipples but to her arms and legs, so that each limb was held captive about the wrist or ankle, and smothered in kisses and gentle nibbles. In this way, perhaps eight of the assembly joined in pleasuring the young lady, taking care to only deliver the sweetest of sensations.

Emmanuelle de Maupassant
“On many nights I have availed myself of these very gentlemen, in the adjoining room. Each time, I wondered if you might arrive and see me, as I took my pleasure, allowing their hands to explore my body. There is no part of me that has not been kissed and enjoyed. I opened myself in welcome, encouraging my suitors to bury themselves deep and hard, to obliterate all reserve and find the heart of me.”

Emmanuelle de Maupassant
“Among my greatest loves is the act of being pinned and invaded – not by one, or two or three, but by many, one after the other. What it is to lose yourself among many, so that your identity exists only as ‘woman’: a goddess of flesh and desire. No names, no promises, no social niceties, no conversational conventions: only lust and fulfillment.”

Mademoiselle Noire - in The Gentlemen's Club”

Emmanuelle de Maupassant
“If I am capable of loving you Lord MacCaulay, of devoting myself to you, it will never be under the terms to which other women submit, for I am battle-born – a female warrior sworn to defy the bonds which enslave those of my sex. I will not, purely to follow common ideas of decency and femininity, give up my enjoyment of other men.”

Mademoiselle Noire - The Gentlemen's Club”

Emmanuelle de Maupassant
“How dull would it be to consume my meat with only one variety of sauce? My body and spirit would whither, being fed on such limited fare. To sample the delights of a great many women is considered right and healthy for a man, yet the opposite is held true for those of our sex. Where we display undue interest in sexual matters, even within marriage, we are thought immoral. For myself, I can only conceive of such limitation with horror: a torture for which I have no taste.”
