Out of all the books I read, this was the first erotic novel I have read fully. It is way above any of the corny, trash people try to write now. The way he describes the exquisite male form and genitalia will make any true woman salivate. I absolutely loved what I found here.

This book is quite entertaining and sometimes just hot. It's at least as good as any modern erotic novel, but the language used is quaint although sometimes surprisingly funny. I would have expected the sex in an old book like this to be boring and perfunctory, but to my satisfaction, it is quite varied. If you like the language of old authors like Austen or Bronte, and you like sex, you will surely love this book.
