His Harlot by, Natasha Blackthorne. This writer always gives me a book to be ecstatic over. Her books never fails to give me all the hot, juicy, sweaty and yes heart pounding sensual scenes, that historical romance novels are known for. And that’s not all, me as the reader is not gifted with one love scenes, but a multiple. How sweet is that?!
All these wonderful attributes were added in this story. I would love for the writer to add more to these scenes to make them a bit longer for readers. The scenes seem to last about a page. Thomas and Rosalind story gave me as the reader a very much heated book to read. While reading the story I tried understanding were the writer was taking me with the characters.
After some narrative background of the characters. The discussion of Thomas, his sins and The Lord being apart of his life, was totally not the story line I saw for this book. Im not sure if it was for this book. I couldn’t relate toThe characters and their dialogue. It all seemed like it was going through the motions versus adding that passion and rage or excitement that must be brought.
The characters feelings, must feel genuine to the reader. I would like to read Rosalind and Thomas in a suspense or mystery story line were as Rosalind has a person secretly lust for her. Thomas with his commanding and dominant persona must protect Rosalind at all cost and perhaps asking for the Lords help along the way. I love how the writer is able to give her readers a story with details and descriptions that excites my imagination.
This helps me visualize things a little more easier.

I liked the story that went along with this. It was different. I didn't think the sexy scenes were all that great and some of the terms used were kind of jarring and threw me out of the story.
