An Addictive Menage Series by Stephanie Julian

Sometime in 2014, I downloaded on my then neglected Amazon Kindle part 1 of Stephanie Julian’s An Indecent Affair. It was free, the cover was, and is, gorgeous, and the premise was enticing. Page forward almost two years, and I was looking through my unread books on my iPad Mini Kindle Reader App and re-found the book.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Sorry, I know those are incomplete sentences, but this series completely blew my mind. Some menage books have one dimensional “we Tarzans, you Jane” premises and the plots are thin enough to mistake for a window. Julian’s two heroes and their heroine are much, much more.

I stayed up too late and read the first part, which is more like a short novella than a book, and craved more. I was like a soccer mom wanting a margarita at Friday Happy Hour. Instead of buying the rest as part of the complete set, I ended up buying them one by one, generating a bit of money for Stephanie, but satisfying my crave for more stories about her trio of lovers. While the ending seemed a bit unsettled for the three’s future, I was content that it had reached a satisfying conclusion.

The Wedding Shroud, by Elisabeth Storrs

This novel is a romantic tale of ancient Romans and Etruscans, and if you something fresh, engaging, sensual, and a real page turner, you’ll love The Wedding Shroud. I plowed right through this book, unable to put it down because Storrs does a fantastic job of creating three-dimensional characters and addicting plots.

Caecilia, the Roman heroine, is carefully drawn and a complex woman. She’s not a young, unsophisticated woman waiting for rescue, but an intelligent and atypical half aristocrat bartered matrimonially between Rome and one of its most powerful enemies. She fits in nowhere in her birthplace and is powerless.

Carefully researched for over fifteen years, Roman and Etruscan daily life, rituals, war, are stunningly woven into Caecilia’s story, without being stuffed full of pages of detail.

I literally could not put this book down, and read through the night until finished. Of course, I wanted more. A lot more. Now I’m on to The Golden Dice, the sequel.
