Captain Prince and Susan Webb, a proud beauty of Charleston society, are rivals for Monnelia, the plantation's belle sauvage. A gentler girl, Tania, attempts to free a pretty Eurasian slave and tastes... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Belle, is actually a gentel book. It's the kind of read that Bram Stokers Dracula is. I suppose we are all brought up today for the sensational and the roller coaster type entertainment, but this aint it. If you like a movie more like Wings Of A Dove, with it's undersuggestion and almost quiet poignancy (with a little lust and spanking thrown in) then this is for you, but if you grew up on Terminator or Raiders... pass! I was a bit dissapointed in some of the "almost" happenings and teases that flourish through out the book. When the kinky stuff is too well received and overlooked by those in power then it tends to loose it's sting... if we aren't breaking any rules with interracial sex, or girl on girl, or old man and teenager ... then you may as well describe a married couple in thier thirties who are into spanking. I know, I know..."If they concentrate on the racial issue as being somehow wrong then it's racism"... yeah, ok, but if I promise to keep it between you and me that we're being sexuall and lusty and not belittling someone for race or creed, can I get aroused on my own? I promise to give to the NAACP. One really needs to dig deep into the imagination to find anything but a mild buzz from this civil war time story of anything goes, but if that's ok for you... then the book is well written anyway.
Erotica at it's Best !

This is a very good book.I am against all kinds of slavery but this is just fantasy so go along with it. Everyone loves action flics but no one really enjoys seeing people getting blowned away either, right?Anyway, I never imagined that a novel taking place in a plantation/slavery enviroment could be erotic. "The Captive" series is one thing. Pure and good erotic fantasy. But plantations existed and there was slaves being whipped there. So how could it be erotic?Well, this book blown me away. The air that your breath once you star reading the book feels and smells erotic. Maybe it's the heat. Or maybe it's very well portrayed cast of characters. There are the submissive types (but not the "puppet-like") and the dominants.But there is more than that. There is a whole cumplicity among them. A resignation of sorts that is just amazing to see in this kind of book.The whipping scenes are very detailed, very ritualistic and yet very erotic and exciting. It's just too bad that thera are not more of those. The author shouldn't have hold back on us readers.But you will love it and mark some of the pages, I garantee you.Enjoy
