three fine battles of the boudoir novellas
26 Nov 2003
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"Zuleika and the Barbarian" by Bertrice Small. Princess Zuleika of Dariyabar spent her life expecting to wed her cousin Haroun, but he coldly informs her that since he no longer needs her as he will be the next sultan with her brothers dead, she will be given to the barbarian at the gates. Not even a wish with a genie could help the embattled Zuleika. Still rather than wait to become Amir Khan's gift, Zuleika offers the barbarian a sensual deal to save her people from his horde and her cousin's ruthlessness.
"All the Secret Pleasures" by Thea Devine. Though their respective fathers wanted them married, Lady Corinna rejected her neighbor Simon Charlesworth to wed an older earl because his rank and wealth were at the level she expected of a spouse. By 1820 Corinna is a widow when she meets Simon for the first time in years, but this time he plans to get his beloved in his bed forever.
"The Bedroom is Mine" by Jane Bonander. In 1880 Twin Hearts, California logging mogul Ross Benedict bets that he will never shave his beard off for a woman. His sister Sam arranges for homeless cook Lily Sawyer to stay in Ross' cabin. Soon Ross and Lily argue over who owns the bed before deciding to share it.
The three battles of the boudoir novellas are well written with engaging lead characters even though the first two tales occasionally allow the sex scenes to forget there is the plot. Exotic romance fans will appreciate these fine novellas.

a mixture for the reader
9 Jan 2004
By Jennifer L. Brown
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be delightful and disappointing. I loved the story by Bertrice Small, my all-time favorite romance author. She did not disappoint me with her decadent and delicious tale. Thea Devine's tale was not to my liking, as none of her writing has been, though I did actually manage to finish reading this story. Jane Bonander wrote a sweet tale of a sister trying to play matchmaker for her brother. It was a fun read. The book is worth the price for Bertrice Small's story. I only wish it had been longer.

Ho-hum romance
14 Jan 2004
By D.r. Acula PhD
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found this book to display some of the best aspects of romance stories, and the worst. The best being the emotional struggle for the characters in the Bonander story which was affecting, and the wort being the utterly shallow and insipid writing of Small. The Small romance had no detail of plot, character, or circumstance. It was as if the elements were chosen at random from a Arabian mad-lib, and strung together with lots of adverbs. The love scenes were especially disappointing, with mechanical explainations of love acts, having no purpose other than to be "naughty". The Thea Devine story was a pleasant deviation from the tiresome girl-plotting-to-trap/impress-guy scenario, with compelling love scenes. One last thing; I didn't consider any of the men to be "Rogues".
