Simply Shameless by Kate Pearce

4.0

I cannot remember when it was that I read this series or why I failed to write any reviews. Overall the first three books (which I was able to borrow from the library as a set: [b:Kate Pearce Bundle: Simply Sexual, Simply Sinful and Simply Shameless|14740951|Kate Pearce Bundle Simply Sexual, Simply Sinful and Simply Shameless (House of Pleasure)|Kate Pearce|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1338384667s/14740951.jpg|20387600]) were fairly good bundle of entertainment. I would say 3.5/5 on average.
The background on Lord Valentin Sokorvsky of [b:Simply Sexual|2763210|Simply Sexual (House of Pleasure #1)|Kate Pearce|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388185122s/2763210.jpg|2788920]and his friend Peter Howard whose story is [b:Simply Sinful|3921832|Simply Sinful (House of Pleasure #2)|Kate Pearce|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426840277s/3921832.jpg|9834775], is fairly dark. Their stories were fairly engaging, though the story that I reflect on the most often is [b:Simply Shameless|5984996|Simply Shameless (House of Pleasure #3)|Kate Pearce|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1427585937s/5984996.jpg|6158704]. There is something about Helene Delornay's story that has always stuck with me. It is haunting what a person will do to survive and how those choices might stay with them.
These books are highly graphic and high on the kink-o-meter. [a:Kate Pearce|688826|Kate Pearce|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1234845255p2/688826.jpg] is one of the most talented erotic literature writers I have read. Given the scope covered and the balance of depth and smut, for those who enjoy these types of books they should definitely take the time to read one of her series.
