Summary: Worth the price for Robin Schone alone
Review: Do yourself a favor. Buy this book, but save Robin Schone's "A Lady's Pleasure" for last. If only it were a full-length novel! "Captivated" by Beatrice Small seems to suggest that erotica is best served in a fantasy setting. It didn't take long before the incessant focus on the Prince's manhood became laughable. The "hero" of Susan Johnson's "Bound and Determined" was so vulgar at the beginning of the story that I never came to care for him. If you like lots of bondage and what amounts to mental abuse, you may enjoy Thea Devine's "Dark Desires." Too bad the "hero" couldn't figure out a more romantic way than keeping his unwilling wife naked and in a thrall collar to make her love him. I won't deny that the first three stories lack in plenty of sex. They're just completely devoid of heart. Robin Schone proves time and again that erotic tales can have emotional depth, that the two people involved can truly care for each other and increase the depth of that caring even as they satisfy each other sexually. In "A Lady's Pleasure," Robert Coally is a true hero and Abigail a true heroine. Their happy ending was the only one that brought me a sense of joy. Thank you, Robin.

Summary: Five stars for "A Lady's Pleasure"!
Review: I can only recommend "A Lady's Pleasure" from this book, but this story alone is worth the asking price! The other three had no feeling - just sex. "A Lady's Pleasure" is a ROMANCE between a lady and a soldier who spent a night in a remote cabin the way many of us dream about. Good job Robin!!

Summary: Best I've read in a LONG time!!!
Review: First let me say that I have been a B. Small fan for years! Recently the group at RBL Romantica informed me about a new author Robin Schone! Well when these ladies tell you an author is Good, GREAT or OUTSTANDING, you better believe them. I've now read The Lady's Tutor and Captivated and The Lady's Pleasure in this book makes the purchase worth it, even if that was the ONLY story in the book!! This lady knows how to write. In my opinion she was the only one to give me an entire story in this book! Her writing puts you right there, feeling everything that she writes. If there is a storm you can feel the wind & rain hit you in the face, when there is a love scene you actually FEEL everything she writes. This is a talent NOT to be missed!!! Thank You Ms. Schone for a great read!

Summary: Five Stars For Robin Schone's "A Lady's Pleasure"!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: While the cover of this book announces it as "Tales of Erotic Romance" I found "romance" in only one of the four stories, "A Lady's Pleasure" by Robin Schone. While the other three stories were erotic and titillating there was no feeling of romance or real emotional connection between the characters where love or relationships are concerned - bondage and degredation to be sure - but not romance."A Lady's Pleasure" is the true definition of "Erotic Romance". It combines tenderness between two people, emotion, the bonding of two souls and beautifully written erotic sex, as well as some great subtle humor and dialogue. I do not think I have ever seen the act of sex (in all it's forms) described so graphically and in such a beautiful way. This story truly touched my soul. The first time I read this story I loved it, the second time I savored it and felt it. It will satisfy your erotic pleasures, make you laugh and make you cry too. Robin Schone is an exquisite writer as witnessed in "Awaken My Love" and her latest, "The Lady's Tutor", but to just describe her writing as erotic would be to do her an injustice for she is truly the reigning queen of ROMANTIC erotica. I believe that even women who love romance reading but do not particularly like erotica would adore this story as well as Ms. Schone's other work. It is tender, loving, and the sex, while EXTREMELY HOT and erotic is written in a way as to be appropriate to a loving and sexual relationship. The hardest thing about describing Ms. Schone's writing is that it is INdescribable! Her honesty, uninhibited, and loving views on romance and sex are truly a breath of fresh air in the romance genra. Do yourself a favor, buy this book and get to know ROBIN SCHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: HOT! HOT! HOT!
Review: What can I say? WOW! I bought the book because it had Susan Johnson in it, but man, the other three authors were really good too! If you're looking for a book to keep you company, this is one you can't miss reading. The stories are very erotic. In winter, keep it near your nightstand, and I can guarantee that it will warm you up soon enough! :) For people who haven't tried Susan Johnson before, I highly recommend PURE SIN and BRAZEN.

Summary: Whew! If this book got any hotter I would melt!
Review: A tour de force from four writers who know intimately the darker and sexier side of passion. I could not put it down; my fingers melted into the pages. For anyone looking for words to seduce not only the mind but the body, this is the book for you.

Summary: Move over Dr. Ruth!
Review: If you are looking for a story, don't pick up this book. If you are looking for sex, sex, and more sex than this is THE book for you. If these people got out of the bedroom or bathroom ONCE I must have missed it. When I bought this book it was because I absolutely LOVE Bertrice Small and Susan Johnson. I wait on pins and needles for their next book to come out. What I should have looked at was the cover of this book. The big tip off would have been the phrase "Erotic Tales". I settled down to this book with the intent of being swept off into some exotic tale. I got Exotic mixed up with Erotic. Mia Culpa. Once I adjusted my settings, I thoughly enjoyed this book. To say that it was educational would be putting it mildly. I don't think that these talented women missed one tip, trick or position. And I do mean that. If you are of the adventurous type then I highly suggest this book.

Summary: HOT! HOT! HOT! ROBIN SCHONE DOES IT AGAIN!!!
Review: Readers DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!!! I bought this book because i have been following the work of great new author ROBIN SCHONE and once again i wasn't disappointed. I have not even had a chance to read the other 3 stories yet, but even if you don't follow their works,,buy it for Ms. Schones contribution. Ladies,,this is what we have been missing in our historical romances lately. i've already read "The Lady's Pleasure" three times. In "The Lady's Pleasure" Ms. Schone introduces us to 2 characters. Abagail, a virgin spinster, has dreams of finding a man that she can share all her secret fantasies. She secretly collects "erotic" writing, which is considered completely taboo for a lady of her time. Approaching her 30th birthday, Abagail faces the fact that she may have to settle and marry a well to do,staid, upstanding friend of the family or die a virgin spinster. Abagail decides to retreat to a cottage in the countryside for a week and spend time saying goodbye to her favorite pasttime, knowing that once married to that type of man, she will have to give up her dreams. She brings with her a trunk filled with her treasures, "journal upon journals of erotic writings. Bitterly facing the change she is going to have to make in her life, she takes her journals out one by one and begins reading them for the last time. Colonel Robert Coally, a man that has spent his whole life in the british military, war after war, is convalesing nearby. Robert, tired of war, pain, and bitterly cynical about how he has spent his life, decides to take a ride on his horse about the countryside in search of whore to lose himself in. To take away the pain of thought even for a while. He is thrown from his horse and suddenly is caught in a violent night storm, forcing him to seek immediate shelter. he stumbles upon Abagails cottage just as she is reading her journals and forces himself into her cottage for shelter. Without giving too much of the storyline away, what follows is a wonderfully erotic meeting of two people who, even facing the bitter regret of the current turn of their lives, see in each other, abet even for one night, a chance to reach out and take and share for once something they both have always desired in life. Robert becomes the man for abagail who will introduce her first hand to the type of erotic love she has only read about. Abagail becomes for Robert, the woman, a lady untouched by type of life he has lived so far, someone he can share and give pleasure to, instead of death and pain. Until the storm ends, they live out their most secret desires and share their souls. Ms. Schone gives us once again, not just your typical erotic read. She shares with us a wonderfully steamy story that combines our erotic fantasies with the romance of falling in love. And ultimately, how two very lost and bitter souls can come together and heal each other by sharing their bodies and minds. For a "short" story, this one packs a powerful punch. I thouroughly enjoyed "The Lady's Pleasure" and can't wait until Ms. Schones next book. KUDOS ONCE AGAIN ROBIN SCHONE!!!! NEW BERN NC

Summary: Pure Sensual Reading
Review: These stories offer sensuality, bondage and lust times four. Each story is filled with high sexuality between male and female. If you want quiet sex read something else. These authors are known for their sensual pose and all deliver on a great scale. This is not for the reader who wants the sweet relationships; rather for the lusty and those unafraid of their own hidden desires.
