A little more world building would’ve made a big difference. My only complaint is Esther isn’t surprised about monsters existing. Twenty-five pages in and I’m definitely a fan.Īppears to be a flush gig, sex with insatiable monsters, awesome room and board, camaraderie and gossip with the other girls, and you can’t get disease or pregnant. She’s curious if anything lives in the loch outside her window and gets giddy when she considers if it will come inside or more accurately inside her.
She’s excited to find out what a man with scales is packing. The girl loves sex so much, the thought of being with monsters doesn’t scare her.
Oh me oh my, shall I visit the physician?! 🤣🙈 If I was around back then, I’d be hysterical all the time. The one thing they did right for women in the Victorian period was the cure for hysteria. Rooksgrave Manor’s protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther’s new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down.Īuthor's Note: I've returned to Rooksgrave Manor to polish and complete Esther's story (previously published in 2018) and rediscovered a whole world of monsters and devious young women that I absolutely adore! But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn’t all that’s threatening Esther’s new position. Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist. There are rules to be followed, expectations to meet, and Esther is afraid she might be too wicked even for a place like Rooksgrave. Upon arrival the men and the daily decadence of the manor feel too good to be true for a girl of Esther’s station. Underwood, a delicate gentleman with a ferocious alter ego who knows exactly what he wants from Esther. Even better, the invitation comes by the hand of the handsome Dr.
On the brink of losing her position as a maid and with no prospects to go on, the offer of a place at Rooksgrave Manor-a house of ill and unusual repute-sounds like a perfect fit for a young woman with Esther’s inclinations.
