Thea Divine Does it Again
19 Jun 2004
Format:Paperback
Thea Devine writes the kind of erotic historical romances that steam the glasses, fog the windows, and cause people to go looking for someone to practice what they may have learned. Satisfaction is firmly in that class of books. Unlike other recent outings from Devine, this book has a firm plot which stands up to and is more than a good skeleton for the sex scenes. The characters are well drawn, if not overly complex. None of them are people you'd think about after putting the book down, but Devine doesn't generally write that kind of book anyway.
Read other reviews for the story details. Let it suffice to say that the conflicts are well plotted, with supporting villans and helpers who fit right in. The language is a bit rough for those who don't like a lot of basic Anglo-Saxon nouns and verbs. Otherwise it seems true to its period and flows convincingly.
Divine's writing is improving with time and practice. She is learning how to draw her characters more vividly, and make her dialog sound real and convincing. Her work is improving by leaps in this novel, and I suggest that you visit her website to see what else she has written, www.theadevine.com.
Would I buy this? Yes. Would I keep it? No. Not memorable enough to keep but certainly entertaining enough to read. And stimulating.
Have a good time with this one evening.

sex in the Victorian Age
29 April 2004
Format:Paperback
In 1894 Behramstead, England, Jancie Renbrook seeks vengeance for her father, deserted years earlier by his diamond mining partner Hugo Gailliard in South Africa. While the Gaillairds lived the life of wealth, her family survived on a government job pittance. After years of bedtime stories of revenge, Jancie arrives at Waybury House as a companion to Hugo's dying wife Olivia. She plans to cause a rift between Hugo and his son Lujan by flirting outrageously with the father and seducing the younger.
Lujan comes home to care for his beloved mother in her last days. He detests his father especially with his sexual predatory advances towards Jancie while his wife lies dying nearby. He wonders what game Jancie is playing though he finds he wants her. To her chagrin, she falls in love with the instrument of her revenge. With the sins of their sires in the way, anything between them beyond the death of his mother seems unachievable, but love has a way of accomplishing the impossible.
Erotic romance readers will find SATISFACTION with this exciting historical tale in which the betrayal by a rolling stone adventurer leads to demons suffered by their respective offspring. The story line is exciting though Hugo and Edmund show no redeeming qualities. Jancie and Lujan are a wonderful pairing in and out of bed and his brother adds a fine rivalry for the heroine's affection. A late sidebar intrigue not involving vengeance provides further doubts between the lovers, but that seem unnecessary as their sires have done a wonderful job of that already. When it comes to sex in the Victorian Age, few writers provide as divine a story as this author does.

Sexy!
9 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
This was the book that made me buy 4 other Thea Devine books. This is not a book for the timid, and those who are offended by graphic sex scenes & harsh language should stay away. The alpha male here, Lujan, is imperfect, rugged, and often callous to the heroine's feelings. I would probably take out the "romance" part from describing this book, but it is definitely hot & sexy erotica. I highly enjoyed it!
