REVIEW - CHATEAU DEBAUCHERY Starter Set by Em Brown


SUBMITTING TO LORD ROCKWELL

Deana looked at her cards again seeing they still contained a king and a ten losing to Lord Rockwell's ace and queen.  Unlike his obvious wealth, she had needed this win and it was hard to keep the glower from showing on her face.   Now she was surreptitiously looking around the gambling hall to see who would loan her the £50 she now owed.

She was dismayed that his suggestion that her debt could be cleared with a night spent in his bed.  Everyone knew her family's circumstances and even if she was not virginal that didn't make her a whore. 

This story is told from Deana's POV and is a prequel


SUBMITTING TO THE RAKE

Heloise found herself standing alone at night on the deserted road pretending to be her cousin.  She had found the note intended for her cousin to spend three shameless nights with the Earl of Blythe at Chateau Fottet for three nights of debauchery, but she couldn't allow her cousin to throw her life and expectations of a good marriage away.  Since he had refused her audience to make her case for him to leave her cousin alone, he gave her no choice but to show in her cousin's place.

This story is told from Heloise's POV.


DEBAUCHERY:  THE BARON

Baron Ramsey is at the horse races in Ascot when his friend tells him where their wives are staying for the weekend after their shopping spree in London.  Chateau Follet.  He feels like he just got kicks in his privates by one of the racehorses that were running the track.  He knew that his cousin had spent time at the Chateau in the past as she knew the owner, but he could not believe that this timid wife would agree to attend such a place.

Their wedding night two years ago had been a total disaster and after several unsuccessful times trying to have relations with his wife, he gave her peace and slaked his desires with his mistress.  He realized the hypocrisy, but he refused to allow her to make him a cuckold so he left the races to see who his wife was meeting.

This book is told from Lord Baron's POV.

I loved this boxset!  These short stories are very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable despite the stories being set in the Regency era.  Books one and three are both prequels although I can't find the continuation to Lord Baron's story.
