Fast paced and light reading. Author managed to capture an eerie atmosphere of the surroundings.

More smut than plot and character development but smut was hot so I didn't mind.

I will probably read the next ones.

A fun romp that’s heavily erotic- I don’t think I’ll reread but had a fun time

Not as good as her other books, but I was still entertained. I'm not sure how I feel about any of the other characters yet, but I will continue reading.

While I don't normally read historical, The Awakening of Ivy Leavold has been one of the best alpha billionaire books I've come across to date. With fluid language and gorgeous imagery, the story is fraught with tension, and the level of sensuality that Simone brings to this time period takes a very talented writer. While the characters and mood are reminiscent of Jane Eyre, the sexual situations bring to mind Anne Rice's Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. I'm anxiously waiting to see what's next from this debut author.

This is a great mix of hot and steamy meets Victorian England. If you like your historicals with down right dirty sex you will love this book.
