The Wicked Confessions Of Lady Cecelia Stanton by Viveka Portman
4.0
The Wicked Confessions of Lady Cecelia Stanton by Viveka Portman is a 2013 Escape publishing release. I received a copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Lady Cecelia Stanton is forced into an arranged marriage to William, a notorious rake. Cecelia is gently bred young woman and not accustomed to the bawdy speech her husband employs towards her. He introduction to lovemaking is so unpleasant she confessed all to her maid, Bess. Bess feel for her and wants her to know that pleasure can be derived from sexual intercourse. So, she proceeds to show Cecelia how to experience sexual pleasure.
This short story/novella is the story of a woman that wants to please her husband and does love him, but is slow to learn how to enjoy relations with him. Her pleasure comes easily however with Bess. So, in my opinion, the experiences with Bess are mainly experimental, although she does love Bess, it's more of a friendship. After putting up with her husband's infidelities and learning to make do in her own way, Cecelia opens her mind up to other types of sexual experimentation.
This story is more erotica than romance, especially for me since I really never liked William. Also, for the most part erotica is not my cup of tea. But, this was a new author and a new publisher, a believe an Australian division of Harlequin, so I thought I would give it a try. The author does a great job of telling a complete story is a very limited space.
If you enjoy erotica I would recommend this one. Over all I give this on a B.
