His Harlot

by S. M. Laviolette

Overview

What's the most ruinous mistake a harlot can make?

Falling in love with her client ...

Edward Fanshawe is everything Nora Hudson wants in the bedroom—and everything she should avoid out of it. He gives her the pain, humiliation, and domination she craves from a sexual partner, but his search for the perfect, blue-blooded wife means the last thing Nora should do is fall for him. Except...it's too late. She already has.

When Edward offers to make Nora his mistress, the idea of being utterly under his dominion is as terrifying as it is titillating. As much as she wants to stay with Edward forever, she worries that living with the man she loves—the man who takes everything her body has to give and wants nothing to do with her heart—will eventually destroy her.

But then Nora meets the woman Edward intends to marry and her situation becomes considerably more complicated. And erotic...

***His Harlot is an angsty, dark, standalone historical erotic romance novel featuring consensual S&M, BDSM and both M/F, F/F, menage, voyeurism, exhibitionism, explicit love scenes, and YES, a happily ever after!

This is EROTIC ROMANCE, not erotica. That means this has a real story and lots of it.

TRIGGER WARNING: marital infidelity, sexual abuse, miscarriage, & lots of kink

About the Author

Minerva Spencer's brief author bio will tell you she has been a criminal prosecutor, college history teacher, and B&B operator. What it doesn't tell you is she also worked as a dock worker, ice cream manufacturer, reader for the blind, motel maid, and bounty hunter.

Okay, so the part about being a bounty hunter is a lie.

Minerva does, however, know how to hypnotize a Dungeness crab, sew her own Regency Era clothing, knit a frog hat, juggle, rebuild a 1959 American Rambler, and gain control of Asia (and hold on to it) in the game of RISK.

Minerva's first series, The Outcasts, is a Regency Era series that features uncommon protagonists who face exciting challenges and unusual situations.

NOTORIOUS, book 1 in The Rebels of the Ton Series, will be out November 2020.

Minerva also writes under the name S.M. LaViolette

Editorial Reviews

This is no ordinary love story. I was absolutely mesmerized. Layer on top of layer is eventually peeled away to reveal the true depth of the characters in the story. It's not always easy to accept who they are. Definitely not for light reading. Be prepared to give yourself plenty of time to read from the first page to the last.

Goodreads

Wow

There are many erotica books. There are some, but not many, erotica books in a period/ regency setting. Of those that I've found non are as good as this. I have found none even to compare it to. . . . It is so very delicious and so very clever.

It was not a simple love story by any means. It's layered, complex, and often left me squirming in my seat. The growth and evolution of these characters is raw but in tune with the phenomenally deep and well executed story line.

Goodreads - Amy C.

This was my first read by this author, but definitely not my last. Even when it pushed me out of my comfort zone, I was riveted and unable to look away. It was sordid and dirty, and somehow still beautiful and poignant. It takes a rare talent indeed to pull off a work like this, and LaViolette has that in spades.
