In this carefully curated collection of three high-heat historical stories, women across different eras discover that passion knows no boundaries of time or circumstance. From Puritan New England where rigid faith conceals dark secrets, to the untamed colonial frontier where civilized facades crumble, to medieval courts where royal privilege comes with a dangerous price.
Behind closed doors and beneath proper appearances, the most constrained societies breed the wildest hungers. When societal rules are strictest, the rebellion against them burns hottest—and these women are about to learn that true awakening cannot be contained by convention.
From secret societies practicing forbidden arts to colonial wives discovering their deepest needs, from princesses who refuse to play by royal rules—each tale explores the intoxicating collision between duty and desire. These are stories of women who risk everything to claim their pleasure, even when the cost could be their very lives.
Whether you're drawn to historical corruption tales, power exchange across class lines, or the dangerous thrill of defying everything society demands, these women refuse to be silenced by history's expectations.
All three stories in this bundle were previously published. They've been selected from our backlist and repackaged for readers seeking historical power dynamics and forbidden awakenings across the centuries.
I liked this collection of 3 stories, I just wanted a bit more from each story.
The first story was about a loving, but outspoken Puritan wife who wanted a bit more sexually (think dominance) from her chaste, obedient husband. The second story was about a missionary's wife whose husband was more interested in converting the African natives to Christianity than pleasuring her body, and the third story was about a bold princess who showed her husband who was boss when he expected a meek wife who would lie back and "think of England".
The third story about Princess Alira was my favorite. She was a badass! I just wanted a little more closure for that story (and all the others!).
Otherwise, a fun, short collection of erotic stories. Thanks to the authors, especially Alexandra Noir, for the opportunity to ARC!
This is a three story bundle. In, Freedom in the Colonies, Ezekiel punishes his wife, Martha. She returns to the old Hayward house seeking deviant pleasure. Ezekiel wants to see what she endured in her past. In, Assuming the Missionary Position, Reverend Joshua Garland and his wife, Cathy, are missionaries spreading the Bible in Africa. Saved from bandits in Lawana, they were taken to a walled city by the leader Bull. It was decided that Cathy would become Bull's ritual bride "to keep the tribe strong." In, The Princess' Pleasure, Married as a duty, to merge the rivers of the two provinces, Princess Alira kept up her part of the bargain, including in the chamber. Prince Kestrel performed out of duty. After three weeks of neglect Princess Alira took matters into her own hands and with her personal guard, Captain Verek, she showed the prince how she should have been treated all along.

Each of the stories is a hot and entertaining fantasy of history. There is a quick variety but in each story the women are the one's getting the pleasure and exploring what that is. Great bedtime reading for some sweet dreams.
If you are looking for a dark, unique clash of sweetness romance stories this is for you. It was amazing the way the men claim their women it's dark and sweet.
