JaneC Reviews19th century / feminism / Madeline-Hunter5 Comments

Dear Ms. Hunter: I really enjoyed Rules of Seduction and was greatly anticipating Lessons of Desire and the story of the independent and unconventional Phaedra Blair. When I began the book, I was even more interested because I could see that the story that was going to unfold was an ... more >
