"Erotic romance"
In 1821 Yorkshire, a snowstorm forces the carriage
containing divorcee Caroline Morrison to stop at a nearby
inn when she is stunned to see Simon Blair also stranded
there. Caroline remembers the great sex with her former
lover, but has not forgotten Simon's tryst with her maid.
Still Simon seduces Caroline who pleads with him to
continue until they both climax. They make love several
more times before she sneaks away. Caroline heads north to her governess job in remote
Netherton Castle while Simon searches for her. Ian and
Jane Carlisle welcome Caroline to their home and introduce
her to their two children. Three days later, a frustrated
Simon arrives at Netherton Castle to recover from losing
Caroline again. Both Simon and Caroline are shocked to see
one another in the middle of nowhere. That night Simon
enters Caroline's room and they share great sex, but
neither trusts the other outside the bedroom. Thus
anything permanent except for an occasional fling seems
impossible. Known for her erotic romances, award winning Susan
Johnson uses two astronomical coincidences and a minimal
plot to tell the tale of a pair who has no relationship
except under the covers. The story line employs explicit
sex and reasonably uses profanities in weird ways to
further the tension between the lead couple. The tale is
too flimsy except for those readers who enjoy sexual
escapades from lead characters AGAIN AND AGAIN. Harriet Klausner
