5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most wonderful erotic novels I have ever read., 24 May 2001
By A Customer
Merely to call this novel "arousing" would be like imagining that you have adequately described the Eiffel Tower by terming it "tall"! Once started I could not stop myself from lusting after, fantasising about and yearning for the beautiful Belinda Seward. A warning to all male readers: don't start reading Portia Da Costa's "Gothic Blue" if you are trying to lead a purer life. The setting, the story, the characters and their incredible sexual acts are all precisely calculated to have you lusting, lusting and lusting more than you ever have done before in the whole of your life. This is the hottest erotic piece of writing you are ever likely to encounter on the shelves since the turn of the millenium. If I could give it a six star rating I would!! Please Portia, more! more! more! I am totally addicted.

5.0 out of 5 stars decadent, spooky and verrrry sexy..., 10 Jun 2001
By A Customer
If you're looking for an erotic tale that's just that bit different and something that makes you use your brain - rather than the hackneyed 'we're all part of a secret society' - this one's for you.

Gorgeous characters, decadent surroundings, fabulous sex... it's a book you can enjoy on a surface level, and then enjoy again at a deeper level when you recognise the subtleties in the plot. I won't give any secrets away, but there's something very X-files ish about the paranormal world Belinda discovers.

Enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Gothic Blue' is a Dream Come True, 2 Jun 2007
Portia da Costa has done it again! Or perhaps I should say, Black Lace has done it again - with a reprint of her 1996 novel 'Gothic Blue.' This is a timeless novel that is as fresh today as it was over ten years ago. It lives up to its erotica label from the very start - a prelude in which we are introduced to Count Andre von Kassel and the evil Countess Isidora Katori. The spell that is cast on the Count divides him from his true love, Arabelle, for all time - or at least, for four hundred plus years, when the arrival of Belinda Seward and her lover, Jonathan Sumner, at the Count's dilapidated manse gives the slumbering, suffering Count Kassel new hope.

While his blonde, mute, gorgeous servants (two females and a male) keep Lindi and Johnny `occupied' when they're not happily occupied with each other, it is the developing relationship between Andre and Lindi that drives the story forward. Will she succumb to his advances (yes), will it be all she imagines (oh yes) will she help him in his quest to lift the curse before the equally ageless Isidora interferes? The answer to that question I leave to you to discover when you read the book.

Elements of fairy tales and magic and timeless love meld seamlessly with a whole lot of steamy sex to make this book a winner. Congratulations, Ms da Costa, on this reprint. It's a great way to launch a reader into the incomparable imagination of the lively, lovely work of Portia da Costa - and a treat for anyone already familiar with her reliable, riveting prose.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very gothic and not very blue
I like the mix of gothic horror and eroticism in principle but it does not work in this story.

Unfortunately a second rate erotic novel and a second rate gothic horror. Read more
