About this eBook

The son of a Regency-era London madame shows his new assistant the ropes in this historical erotic romance by the New York Times bestselling author.

Christian Delornay, son of Madame Helene, has observed so many illicit liaisons at his mother's House of Pleasure that he regards sex as merely an enjoyable pastime, certainly not an act of love. So when a young widow arrives in search of work, Christian hires her as his assistant with the intention of instructing her in the ways of sensual seduction . . .

Desperate to escape her past, Elizabeth “Smith” is happy to accept Christian's offer of work. She is prepared to serve his every need, yet she refuses to reveal her most intimate desires. But in the hands of a master it is impossible to deny her own wanton yearnings, and she soon succumbs to her secret longing for pure carnal pleasure . . .

“Sinfully hot. If you like your romance hot as you return to the Regency era, where behind the scenes anything goes, then grab Simply Carnal for your reading pleasure.” —Romance Reviews Today

Erotic with sensitive themes (the heroine was historically subjected to rape and abuse so be warned if this is triggering for you), but if this series is your thing, this is hot a and compellingly addition (I.e. I was up way too late because I had to know what came next hahaha!). In this book we see how Christian Delornay finds some perspective on his history with his mother, and finds his way back to his emotions through the incomparable Elizabeth. The book stands alone well, but the series is one worth visiting if you'd like to learn more about this complex world Kate Pearce has built. My only complaint is, while you get a happy ending, it feels a little sudden. That's a common comment from me with this author. I think after you've gone on such an engaging journey, you just want to luxuriate a little in the happily ever after. But it doesn't stop me reading or re-reading this authors works for some reason! hahah

Was a good book, but I hate an abrupt ending especially when there is no epilogue.

Kate never fails in her goal to produce a enthralling story. This story had me on the edge of my seat. Bravo Kate.
