I give The Gentleman’s Club (Book one in the Noire series) by Emmanuelle de Maupassant 5 stars.
Lord McCaulay is your typical well-to-do playboy of Victorian London. He is quite wealthy and good-looking, which gets him everything he wants. He also believes that women are just playthings, he would never imagine settling down to be a husband to some nagging woman. His desires lead him to a gentleman’s club he has heard will satisfy your every carnal wish. His first night there, he is humiliated by the woman who owns the club. Yet, he is aroused and intrigued at the same time. Intent to show her that he is in control, he goes back to the club. Once again, he is a pawn in her games. He cannot seem to get enough of this woman who goes against everything a woman should be. He is powerless to her. That may be a sign that is time for him to get far away from her. But can he?
Maud is a woman of society who is quite unhappy. Her guardian, her old-fashioned aunt, is the complete opposite of what Maud wants to be. She wants to be well-educated, she wants to learn and do as she pleases. She doesn’t want to be scene and not heard. She wants the freedom of a man. As her aunt pushes more suitors on her, she is more and more against getting married and being the dutiful housewife. Can she find the pleasure she seeks?
This erotica at its best. It is hot and heavy, and you will be left breathless with flushed cheeks. But is so much more than that. There is a wonderful story behind the hot scenes too. The struggles these two face are very much real struggles being faced today. It adds depth to the story and makes you feel like you’re part of it! I highly recommend this book!

A Book to Enjoy
It actually took me a wee bit to get into this story because I hadn’t expected Victorian erotica but contemporary erotica. But once I sorted that out I was enthralled by the authoress’ descriptive capabilities and easy voice. I found myself eager to stand in the shadows and peep in at the goings-on in the salon of Mademoiselle Noire.I also came away with much “educational” information on the London of the time and the Victorian mores of the “right sort” classes. Without any spoilers, it suffices to say I’d definitely read more of this authoress’ book.
