NOT feminist., 28 Sep 2011
By G - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Duchess, Her Maid, the Groom & Their Lover (Paperback)
Whoever tagged this as feminist obviously has zero clue what feminism is. Randomly roaming the countryside having sex with anyone and everyone does not qualify as feminist.

Enjoyable erotic romance, 4 Dec 2008
By C. Duggan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Duchess, Her Maid, the Groom & Their Lover (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book, especially because it centers around a strong independent woman, (the Duchess) who fights to regain what is rightfully hers in a mysterious world that had echoes of pre-Revolutionary France and Georgian England but also contains unique fantasy elements of its own. The sex is interesting, erotic and varied, the characters well-written and the ending very satisfactory for all concerned. I'm looking forward to this authors next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
superb erotic historical romance, 5 Dec 2008
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Duchess, Her Maid, the Groom & Their Lover (Paperback)
Their marriage was arranged by their parents as a political deal. However, Duchess Camille fears her cheating violent husband Michel plans to dump her for failing to provide him with an heir and a spare. With no place to go if he throws her out or worse if she stays based on the bruises his cruelty could one day kill her, Camille plans to ask Henri the stable hand to make her pregnant.
However Michel goes berserk so Camille flees for her life. Henri, her maid Sylvie and her two eunuchs Arno and Kaspar accompany her to the only potential haven the home of Camille's first love Maxime. She knows if Michel or his thugs catch her she will be raped be-fore being killed and her friends tortured and murdered. Hiding in brothels, they trek towards Maxime's home while enjoying the fruits of their respites.
This erotic historical romance is a fun entertaining tale that in some ways will remind readers of the Fielding classic The History of Tom Jones with its bawdy underpinning to a strong cat and mouse story line. The cast is a delight especially the title characters and those they meet in the brothels while the audience will desire for the mean odious villain to be converted with a not sharp knife to a eunuch. Victoria Jansen provides sub-genre fans with a tour of houses of ill repute providing haven to the harried runaways.
