A Lesson in Thorns feels tailor-made for my kinks and proclivities - it's got an apparent love-triangle turned to a triad, a complex, messy, but ultimately loving relationship that blurs lines between a group of friends, a priest that probably would fuck, and weird Catholic-pagan rituals. And, if meeting my interests wasn't enough, it also contains some of the best prose and most compelling plot of any published erotica that I've read to date. I'm really excited to see read the next three books in the series; hopefully, they will be as tantalizing and intriguing as this one.
