I received a copy from the publishers in via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Hot and steamy are just two words to describe this collection of Victorian era short stories.

I loved it. Yes, some stories are better than others but overall it’s fantastic. There is something for everyone. It features M/F, M/M, F/F and everything from paranormal to twists on classic Victorian characters.

Each story is well written and I would definitely like to read some as full-length novels.

A brilliant selection of stories that has stories that will appeal to all who to any extent like this genre. There will be numerous articles you will like and one or two you will love. From the fantastic, whimsical and romantically comic to the serious, deadly and historically accurate tales that will rend your heart as well stimulate your erotic imagination. Some of the stories will stay with me for a long time. I am used to dealing the Victorian period as an archivist and the one about the factory hand and another about the suicide are brutally accurate and brilliant in their exposition. This has varied stories that are for all tastes and some tastes you probably didn't know you had until read about it here. Well done. If you have never read erotic works created with a Victorian theme, I would suggest this is where to start.

This book, unfortunately, did not appeal to me for a number of reasons. The short stories were a mix mash as far as I was concerned; I would get invested in one story, only for it to end! If this book is classified as erotic, it was very mild. I found the writing was mixed in each story. One would be quite elegant and the next would be completely different. This book left me a little bewildered. ...enough that I did not finish it.

wow, it was HOT and we thought that the Victorian age was so prim and proper
