Velvet Claws

by Cleo Cordell

A tight knot of desire uncoiled in Gwendoline as Jonathan pressed against her. This was the feeling her maid had told her about. Now Gwendoline was about to discover for herself how it felt to have a man inside her. The 19th century, a time of exploration and discovery, and the young and spirited Gwendoline Farnshawe is determined not to be left in the parlour making conversation. Especially when the handsome and celebrated anthropologist, Jonathan Kimberton, is planning a trip to Africa. Revelling against Victorian society's expectations of a young woman, and lured by the mysterious ritual and exotic climate of this exciting continent, Gwendoline sets sail with her entourage. She is bound for a land of unknown pleasures which are destined to awaken her true sensuality. By the author of The Captive Flesh and The Senses Bejewelled.

I'm halfway through and I'm finding it slightly disappointing. I really like the characters of Gwendolyn and Jonathan but I'm on page 197 and they still haven't had sex yet! What the hell!? They're on a safari adventure you would expect they'd be having all sorts of sexual adventures with each other but instead it's her stupid maid and boorish older brother who are having all the sexcapades! I'll keep reading but when I'm finally done I'll probably donate it to the library. Not a keeper. I just don't get it, it's obvious that Gwendolyn and Jonathan are attracted to each other but Gwendolyn goes off and has sex with other guys and Jonathan doesn't do anything! The more I read the more aggravated I get, I have zero patience for stupid people. I hope they all get eaten by crocodiles!
