I won this book in an online giveaway. It's not my usual genre, but I did like the mix of naughtiness and history that it promised. It turned out to be a genre that I want to get more into after reading this book. Pearce keeps you guessing as she builds the characters throughout the book and the ...
I am continually rediscovering books I have already read as Goodreads makes automatic shelf based recommendations! 8-0) This was one of those books I read when I went on a complete romance reading frenzy in 2010-2011 (a book a day). It was also around the time that I discovered some of the newer ...
I can't honestly give a rating to this book as I can't really tell whether or not I liked it.This series is my first venture with erotica because I'm not a big fan of the style, but I got too curious to let these books pass and having read the first book, don't feel anything they contain will sho...
I love a Good erotic romance. One where the sex scenes or hot and abundant and the story has substance. This book definitely fit the bill. I loved it completely. I have been looking for this book because I have been dying to read Peter's story ever since I read Simply Sexual. Peter, who we know f...

Man I cant this series seems to be getting better and better. I was super stoked Helene was getting her story and third in the series (yay) Helene is one bad ass female she's strong independent been thru hell and back and is an amazing woman and she deserves and amazing man. That's exactly what P...
What a remarkable book this one is! Ergo, five stars are given to this book. I agreed with others who had read this book that the story is so, so great and it's the best too! Much better than the previous two books. I liked the beginning of this book where Helene and Philip met for the first time...
This was a series that started out really good in the begining but slowly went downhill from there. I started to feel like the author was writing sex, not romance. The characters had no chemistry and just seem to be thrown together to keep the series moving along. I have to admit that I am loo...
DNF at 15% on my Kindle, can't believe I got that far. I want an amnesia pill. Do people often have sex with other people while thinking about someone else? Everyone in this book does. So essentially you read about people having horrible sex with one another while neither party involved wants to ...
I bought this one from Kobo.I really enjoy this series. You do have to buy into the idea that a place like Helene's House of Pleasure could exist. Now... I felt that this was a weaker entry in the series. Lisette was too tempermenal, flighty, and generally made me want to shake her. And Gabe, her...
This story just wasn't my kind of story, I'm all for erotic romances, and with kinky sex, but I find there was literally no emotion or romance to this story, it was just sex, and it wasn't really hot, heavy throbbing sex, it was robotic, like some quick pastime. On a positive note I did like some...
Yeah I gave up. This is one of very, VERY few books that I could not finish. The problem for me was that this book barely focused on King Henry's court, the vampires, the war between the Druids and the vampires, or the vampire defender-folk. The number one focus of Kiss of the Rose was who the he...
For each individual book I give an average of 4 stars. The series as a whole I give 3stars. I kept hoping for each story to get a wrap up of all the loose strings that just never came. The books were each steamy, sexy, controversial , and freeing. Yet so much was left undone and unanswered. I lov...
This was the first book I've read of this series, and of course it's the last book (#9). I'd like to go back and read one of the others in the series so I'll have to be on the look-out for this series. There were some elements that I didn't necessarily prefer, but I kept reading. The only draw...
Kate Pearce is one of my all time favorite authors and her Tudor Vampire Chronicles are great historical romance woven with paranormal intrigue. This is the second book in the series and we revisit the betrothal of Christopher Ellis and Rosalind Llewellyn. Things aren't as rosy as the last book e...
Wow, get me my fan! This was a hot book and had lots of sex in it. This might be a spoiler, but there is light BDSM, and M/M action in this one, so take that into account when you read it. I really liked the characters, though, and have known enough addicts in my life to feel Kate Pearce nailed t...
