Agony/Ecstasy Anthology: Bettie Sharpe and “Each Step Sublime”

JaneAgony/Ecstasy AnthologyAgony/Ecstasy / Bettie Sharpe5 Comments

Bettie Sharpe is re-imagining faery tales of old for the romance crowd.  Ember took on Cinderella and Cat’s Tale is a Puss ‘n’ Boots retelling.  Given the rise of darker faery tales in the form of the television series, “Once Upon a Time“, and the two Snow White movies (Snow White ... more >

Agony/Ecstasy Anthology: Margaret Rowe and “Wicked Wedding Night”

JaneAgony/Ecstasy AnthologyAgony/EcstasyComments Off on Agony/Ecstasy Anthology: Margaret Rowe and “Wicked Wedding Night”

Margaret Rowe brings us the short featuring Viscount Lucien Ransford who is going to make his new wife pay for trapping him into marriage.  Good thing for their marriage that Maida enjoys the punishment.  Like the previous story, I felt like this one provided a good mix of the agony ... more >

Agony/Ecstasy Anthology: Delphine Dryden and “Safeword”

JaneAgony/Ecstasy AnthologyAgony/EcstasyComments Off on Agony/Ecstasy Anthology: Delphine Dryden and “Safeword”

I can’t remember if I read Delphine Dryden before her submission or after but the one book that sticks out in my head is When in Rio where the hero says that he is a spanker with pretensions.  I find her sex scenes to have a certain sense of humor, ... more >
