Summary: Beyond insatiable erotic/historical romance!
Comment: I don't often read traditional romance novels, but I couldn't resist the fact that Emma Holly had penned this one. I am so glad I gave it a whirl! This is one of the most insatiable erotic/historical romance novels I've ever read.
Florence Fairleigh has lost her father and financial security. She has to marry someone who could give her the financial and moral support that she now needs. So, she travels from Lancashire to London to improve her prospects of finding the same. As luck would have it, she finds the perfect candidate. Edward Burbrooke seeks a wife for his brother Freddie -- for a marriage is the only thing that could save his brother from the scandals and rumors surrounding his sexual preference. But little had Edward envisaged the aching lust and soaring feelings the sweet, albeit sensual Florence has kindled in him. Will he be able to resist temptation?
I love the mounting tension between the protagonists, the delicious eroticism and the story's fluid motion. However, what I liked most about this novel is the setting -- Victorian England. I'm a sucker for historical novels and the romance and eroticism in this novel are the icing on the cake. Emma Holly has become one of my favorite erotic writers. I like the not-holds-barred erotica she writes for Black Lace, but she's proven that she has a penchant for romance as well. I recommend this beautiful novel. Again, I'm glad I gave it a whirl.

Summary: Beyond Innocence - a steamy and sensual read
Comment: Emma Holly joins the bandwagon of erotic romance writers like Robin Schone and Susan Johnson with her new Victorian novel Beyond Innocence. While most erotic romance involves gothic and sinister elements as in Thea Devine's novel, Ms. Holly pens it straight with a typical moral quandry with Florence Fairleigh seeking a marriage through a solicitor Mowbry, pressed by her poverty. Lord of Greystewe, Edward Burbooke in an attempt to save his brother Freddie from a scandal of being caught with a footman in an uncompromising situation, sought Florence as his sister-in-law only to realize his attraction to her graduates to an abiding love.
Emma Holly as an erotica writer, creates deftly sexual tension that stokes on the forbidden primal urges of Edward. It builds up with Florence getting caught with him in sizzling situations, like Edward acting as a voyeur when she dresses and him coaching her in intensifying sexual acts like bondage. The preliminary seduction is deliciously intriguing and explodes to a climax when Edward learns that love surpasses his lust for Florence. Ms. Holly brings in homosexuality with Freddie falling for Nigel but falls short on insight. Edward learns that giving Freddie the happiness is the acceptance of what he is and not striving to mold him as a paragon of society's elite.
I think I expect more from Ms. Holly with her background as an erotica writer - she is undoubtedly a master at crafting rousing sexual prose, but the plot and scenario is definitely obsolete and falls short of imagination and becomes predictable. Beyond Innocence is nonetheless a must read for fanatics of erotic romance; her racy and steamy narration makes even the most innocent reader blush and panting for more.
