Victorian England = After three years of blissfull marriage, Emma finds out that she can't conceive. Her husband wants an annulment so that he can carry on his lineage. So she sets out across Europe with her faithful lady's maid, determined to enjoy herself - and she does! She starts out by deflowering young virgin men, then teaching young women how to pleasure themselves and their partners. She's waaaaay before her time. She also has a debauched devotee with an agenda of his own following her around Europe and back to England. The narrative in this book is so matter-of-fact that it kills any erotic effects.
But as Victorian erotica, it does the job.

The Seductress begins a trilogy about the sexy adventures of the heroine, Emma. It all begins in this book when, after several years of blissfully happy marriage, she finds out she is barren and unable to give her husband the all important heir. He betrays her trust and love by devising a plan to secure a child with another woman! She just can't live with his scheme (and who can blame her?) and picks up the pieces of her shattered heart and begins a new life for herself. She's determined to live life to it's fullest and, knowing she will never be able to have children, she seeks out and takes advantage and great pleasure in all of the sensual adventures that come her way.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The historical setting of the story made it all the more enjoyable and forbidden. The heroine is a realistic and strong character who goes after who she wants with a vengeance. She's not always likable and does some wicked things but under it all I felt she had a good heart. She seemed to prefer schooling young inexperienced males and females in the arts of love but does eventually meet her match in the form of a mysterious man who follows her on her travels and drives her wild each time their paths cross. There's nothing that I found overly kinky in this book. There are plenty of m/f, f/f, and group sex scenes. And all were written with a very sensual touch.
