Three steamy stand-alone reads with plenty of drama, emotion and lots of heat. These reads take place during the Georgian regency and have great characters with entertaining stories and strong heroines with heroes that love to be in in control. Fast-paced stories that will take you back in time and really draw you in. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!

Good

I found this a good book. 3 stories of debauchery and dominance and subservience. There are great characters in all 3 stories and the villians are well written.

An amusing box set

This is an amusing diversion, I think the second of the three books was my favorite but all three offer plenty of steamy scenes and characters getting up to all sorts of things.

These three books are great reads and I would highly recommend them.
*Mastering The Marchioness - Vale has married his best friend’s sister and has yet to consummate the marriage. After spying his wife at the Cavern of Pleasure and her lining up to be selected as a submissive for one night, Vale (masked) selects her in an attempt to discourage her from returning but it does not go the way he had planned. Love wins out in the end but what a great ride they have getting to that point. The story is well written, very erotic and holds your attention.
*Conquering The Countess - Another hit by Brown. In the beginning Phineas and Gertie come together in the Cavern of Pleasures without knowing the other's identity. After spending one evening with her, Phineas is intrigued enough to want to find out her true identity. Gertie's husband wants nothing to do with her and he and his family constantly put her down. Only in the Cavern is she ever in control and she refuses to allow any man to dominate her there. Events happen and they find themselves alone for three days at a country inn during a rain storm, and there they explore their sexual need and desire for each other. This quickly grows into love and they do have a HEA. This story is very romantic and sexually charged. I would highly recommend it as you will not be disappointed.
*Binding The Baroness - Loved the book. Abby, who is set for revenge against Frotham (father and son), and Montague, who is in need of money to pay creditors, are thrown together by the desire for revenge by Abby and the desire for much needed money by Montague. The story is well written and keeps your attention. The BDSM mentioned in the book is well written and not a major part of the book. The books deals with their interaction with each other and has a delightful outcome. I would highly recommend this book.

Not true romance

I like her writing abilities BUT I did not like the main characters bisexual sex scenes m/m or f/f but their suppose to have affection or love for the other main characters. I also didn’t like the main character making the other main character have sex other men/women while they watched. This was not just HOT HOT HOT steamy romance novel - it was hard core bisexual sex. Which is fine if that is what your looking for - but when I picked this out it was not labeled that way or I would have moved on to a different book. I mean, I’m no prude - I can read a clean novel or one with HOT scenes - as long as the wring is good BUT I like history romance with M/F characters and there to be no crazy promiscuity much less “sharing”, and/or watching and bisexual with main characters. — I mean this types of books are for some and then not for others so it needs to be labeled better.

Why I picked more books by this author was I LOVED the book she wrote that was a P&P variation HOT version. The above books were free through kindle and I won’t be choosing anymore — the P&P variation I think I paid about $10 last year. Write more variations about Darcy & Elizabeth or make sub characters into main storylines in the same HOT fashion and and pay $10 for each for that.

Emotive, evocative, erotic and enticing pleasure await!
Em Brown’s “CAVERN OF PLEASURES BOXSET” includes three standalone novels that are equally wonderfully evocative and emotional reads. With light tones of BDSM, and heroines of singular strength of character, and heroes who crave control, this boxset is for the 18 years or older crowd, only. However, for those who like their romances STEAMY, but laced with wit then Brown’s “CAVERN OF PLEASURES BOXSET” awaits your call . . . Set in Georgian times with all of the taboo’s and expectations of the era, “CAVERN OF PLEASURES BOXSET” presents three stories, each plot both complex and compelling with ladies and gentlemen who have purpose and exercise choice during a time when women had neither. As with all GREAT fiction, author Brown weaves a web of words that entice her readers to focus on a reality of her building and to become invested in her richly developed characters. While I voluntarily read “CAVERN OF PLEASURES BOXSET” and this is my honest, voluntary 5+STAR review, this will not be the last time I read or review Em Brown’s outstanding prose. I strongly suggest that you purchase your copy of “CAVERN OF PLEASURES BOXSET” today! Happy pages! 😉

This is definitely a scorching read, and a good one for a weekend or holiday. Any fans of Regency era romance, with serious kink and BDSM, will love these books. In "Mastering the Marchioness," Vale sees his wife, as yet unbedded, at the Cavern of Pleasure, and determines to dissuade her from an evening of submission. The result is well worth the read! In "Conquering the Countess," we're back in the Cavern of Pleasure - with predictable heat and fun. And finally, "Binding the Baroness," my personal favorite. This is replete with heat, kink, mixed messages, and the requisite HEA - #fan!

If you enjoy regency era books, naughty BDSM/kink play, and smoking hot erotica with strong men and fiery women, you must read this box set. Em Brown writes well-developed characters who have personality and purpose. The sex scenes are unique and varied; it's not "you seen one, you seen 'em all" repetitive filler. They are sensual and passionate and oh so good!

I received a complimentary ARC from the author, and this is my honest, voluntary review.

Mastering the Marchioness. It was an OK story. I find the sex scene too repetitive, not much variations there. And the fact that the heroine was just giving herself like that in the Cavern to his Lordship (without knowing that it was him) with no second thoughts bothered me a little. The other two books are the same to me. This series is not deterring me in reading other offering by Em Brown. She has more fantastic books out there.

Pleasurable Read

I enjoyed each story and getting to know the characters. Found at times it could be confusing, especially the old wording but luckily used the dictionary on my kindle to understand these words. I loved the interesting pleasures of the Cavern, Would have liked more from there in the third book.

Very pleasurable!

I thoroughly enjoyed this boxset. I find historical stories fascinating and the eroticism in these made it far more exhilarating. I discovered Em Brown, while reading one of the author's modern series. I have to say, I prefer the historical writings, not that the other stories weren't exciting. This series was just more titillating to me.

Simply Exquisite

This was stunningly written. I was completely swept away in the tales within this box set. The stories had interesting language, beautifully described settings and interesting characters.
Em Brown is a wonderfully skilled author and I’m off to find more of her work now!

Cavern of Pleasures Boxset

Caverns of Pleasure was without a doubt the most extremely sexual book I have ever read,lol.But read all three and without a doubt was educated on extreme sexual activity.Well not for the faint hearted with bondage and depravity,of acts that left the imagination boggling.Well written and without a doubt a very sexually graphic read.

Series

I enjoyed reading these three tales. I found the last one more to my liking but maybe that was because I was more use to the tales by that time. I will look for more of these books.

Hot!!!

If you’re not looking for very hot sex, in all the ways you can think of — (MF, MFM, FMF, FF, MM, BDMS, front, back and sideways) this is not the book for you. Just sayin, consider yourself warmed.

This is a fantasy.

These are sexual fantasies with BdSm elements set in a "historical" time period. Informed consent is required today. Naughty sexy times with rape and kidnapping triggers. Some editing errors.

Historical romance

I don't usually read historical novels, but this box set was free, and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the authors writing. The characters were likable, the scenes were hot, and intense. Good job

Georgian Regency is hot!!

I abhor the typos! They change the name of the characters, the sex of the same, throw off the course and pace of the stories!! Without the errors these are very good tales which are easy to read and well written! Stop the typos please!!😎

Wonderful stories

I have enjoyed these stories of pleasure in Georgian Era. They also show that Master and Mistress is not just punishment but pleasure as well along with finding love.

Part of “Cavern of Pleasures” boxset.
Mastering the Marchioness 4 Good story, except that the heroine was clueless.
Conquering the Countess 3 Cheating on spouse
Binding the baroness 2 Doing unusual stuff is OK, if there is mutual consent. Kidnapping for sex is creepy, not sexy.

Sweet debauchery

This series was so full of excitement. It had the most sinful men and the storyline was enticing. What it would be like to live in that time? To visit the Cavern. To lay it all out there. Em makes it possible in her writing.

Wow, just wow...

This was a great series I'm not sure which book pleased me more but I was upset at the last, Montague and Abbey, because there was so much more to be resolved. But at the end of the day the entire series delivers and if you like the debauched, it worth it!

Cavern

Pleasure house where passions are explored, bonds tested, and sometimes a HEA forms. Masks used to protect the patrons do not protect the heart. Dominant or submissive the paths emerge to show all involved where the heart lies. Just enough egotism to tittilate.

Pleasure and Pain

Entertaining, but a little much. Certainly plots a little bit too simple, and lots of Victorian melodrama, but nevertheless, entertaining. Great for a rainy afternoon.
