Sin (Rodesson's Daughters, #1)

When Venetia Hamilton's father cannot paint his erotic art books anymore due to his arthritic hands, Venetia paints his books for him. When Marcus Wyndham, the Earl of Trent call on her she instantly knows that he is the man that features in her fathers sketches. He knows that the last erotic book was sketched by someone different, and works out that it was Venetia who painted it. He wants her to stop using his image and then makes her promise to paint no more books ever.
When her fathers ex mistress, Lydia Harcourt begins alphabetically blackmailing her lovers, she threatens to tell Venetias secret. Venetia wants to reason with her but Lydia is away for a week at an orgy so she asks Marcus to get her entry to the orgy and accompany her. Needless to say Lydia is blackmailing half the guests there as everyone has secrets including Marcus.
This book is hot,hot,hot. If you have ever wondered what an orgy would be like then this is the book for you, you will encounter M/M, F/F, Ménages and bondage. Marcus wasn't your average rake and I think he could have given in to temptation a bit quicker, and are we really supposed to believe that Venetia had no option but to attend the orgy! But I honestly couldn't have cared less about the lack of romance, because my jaw was on the floor reading some of the sex scenes, they more than made up for any faults in the plot.
But overall a good read, not for the fainthearted. After just reading Kate Pearce I think that anyone who likes KP will love this book. KP "Simply" series has The House of Pleasure" and this book has a country orgy, similar settings.

The orgy scene in this one like you said Maureen is really a cut above without going into the gross/ick side and it actually fits into the story without feeling like "oh it's erotica gotta add a sex scene every few pages" --hate that. This is the only book by Page that I've liked so far. I still have the third in the series to read.
I HAVE TO GET THE THIRD ONE AS WELL, HOPE ITS BETTER THAN THE SECOND ONE.
Ok .. is i just me of do these 2 on the cover look cave style raaawwlllll
LOL, rachael this is another hot one for you
Great review! Sounds good, I'll speed up my hunt for it!
It is very very explicit Cheryl
Thanks for the warning! Is it more explicit than Passion? I didn't know it could be more than that was!!! :)
Cheryl, yes it's more explicit that Passion (if it's Lisa Valdez' book you're referring to) but it's very well-written in a lewd and gross-free way I thought which is nearly impossible to come by in an erotic historical.
Thanks, yes I was referring to LV's Passion, which I LOVED!
I'd guess you'd like SIN then Cheryl if PASSION didn't bother you. I hated Passion (lol!) --too gross for me and that's just because of how the author wrote those in your face scenes with what I'd call purple prose.
Haha, East, I can see where some of the phrases were a little disturbing and down right gross at times! It definitely opened my eyes to some new phrases!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this book sound verra interesting ..
never read a M/F/F/M/M/F/M/F/F/F/F/M orgie LOL
never read a M/F/F/M/M/F/M/F/F/F/F/M orgie LOL
LOLL!!! Moving to top of TBR list!!!
This book is an eye popper. Loved it.

Cheryl wrote: "Thanks for the warning! Is it more explicit than Passion? I didn't know it could be more than that was!!! :)"A lot more explicit than Passion.
