Samantha Kane: Love’s Strategy ~ Brothers In Arms
From: Ellora’s Cave
Valentine Westridge and Kurt Schillig are lovers, and have been since the Peninsular War when lonely young officer Valentine let himself be seduced by the equally lonely Kurt. Now they’re back from the war and intent on beginning the future they dreamed of together, one that includes a quiet country estate, horses, dogs, children, and each other. Their plan, however, also requires a wife. At the suggestion of a mutual friend, Valentine and Kurt believe the financial security they can offer to impoverished widow Leah Marleston will help her accept the unusual sexual relationship they are suggesting.
Leah is at her wit’s end, creditors having taken everything she owns to pay off her late husband’s gambling debts. She must find a way to support herself and her two children, or be forced to marry her abusive and obsessive brother-in-law. In Valentine’s and Kurt’s arms, Leah discovers a passion she never knew existed. Brought together by necessity, bonded by desire, these three lonely people find themselves fighting against all odds for a love that was never part of their plans.
Like an oasis to a man lost in the desert that is Ellora’s Cave: New Arrivals Section they finally publish a book from one of their better writers. Party Time!
The Three R’s ~ Rockin Raunchy Regency
Oh man, that cover SK! Is she making out with Giraffe Boy or what?
Oh look! Giraffe Boy got a thorn stuck in his paw and wants her to take it out.
It’s not my favorite either, LOL! I didn’t even notice giraffe boy, I was mesmerized by the man titties lurking behind her. I have to say, however, that it is a far better cover than many I’ve seen (which shall remain nameless), and at least reflects the nature of the book (historical menage). It could have been much, much worse, believe me. You didn’t see the first version. ;-) Thanks for reading it. –Sam
I enjoyed very much this book, and the other brother in arms ones. I really liked how the author worked the menage. Hope we will see more!
