Courtesan
Newly revised and previously released. 89,000 words.
Genre: BSDM historical
New York, 1883...
With her deceased father's creditors pounding at the door, starvation imminent, and nothing left to lose, eighteen-year old Sarah Winslow signs a note to excuse her indebtedness. Little does she suspect that she's just sold herself into an exclusive brothel, her ruination orchestrated by Sebastian Turner, a wealthy gentleman who has bought and paid for her virginal innocence for reasons all his own.
For eighteen long years, Seb has methodically plotted to destroy the Winslow name. And he succeeds. He now owns all of Michael Winslow's possessions, including his lovely daughter, Sarah. Seb has everything he ever wanted.
Only now that he does, it's not enough. He wants more...from Sarah. His needs know no bounds but those of pleasure--a rawhide lasso and gold bondage bracelets--when it comes to the prim and proper lady he has made his Courtesan.

sigh
Such a long, winded book. Sebastian (the male MC) was an idiotic character. Sarah (the female MC) was an equally idiotic character.
I was angry at how she allowed all of that to be done to her. I was angry at how he allowed himself to keep doing all of that to her.
I was fuming at the ending.

I liked it. Very spicy, lots of sex scenes. Man sets out on revenge but falls in love. Features a very dominant, jealous man with a woman who gets off on being dominated.

Very edgy and gritty historical romance. Erotic literature verging on porno with extreme S&M scene descriptions.
If you can deal with the ending's extreme sex abuse scenes, a worthwhile read as an original piece of fiction with more potential than was actually realized due to the anemic character development and frequent sex scenes.
This writer has potential but it will depend upon whether she chooses to embrace the historical aspects more and goes mainstream with real editors or she continues down the e-publish erotic fiction route.
Hoping she chooses the former...
