Customer Reviews

Passionate and Fun

I admit it; I usually prefer fantasy novels about dragons and elves. Yet, the writing style in this book catches the reader and inflames them as well as any breath from a rampaging, overgrown lizard (pun!). Villefranche uses detailed, graphic sexual encounters to develop her characters. Tantalizing and delicious, the exploits of the characters in 1920s France leaves the reader amazed yet interested. Written in a romantic and passionate tone, Villefrance rarely uses the stronger sexual language so prevalent in modern novels. If you want a refreshing change to your erotica, this is for you.

An erotic masterpiece ... reprinted time and time again

As an avid collector and fan of erotic literature I have found many examples of these books published under different titles and as multiple books.... This one is a prime example as it was published as two seperate novels making this an especially delious read for anyone that enjoys fine erotic writings. The writings of Anne-Marie Villefranche, in contract to Victorian erotic novels are that the plots and sub-plots are much more complex and character development of the French seems paramount ... There are two books in this novel .. The first SECRETS D'AMOUR deals with Armand and Madelaine the wife of one of his friends. When one evening Madelaine brushes against him in a more FRIENDLY way than he expected the erotic story unfolds as Madeline decides to join that 'oh so French' group of women that decide they too will take lovers so as not to left behind by their husbands. This is a delicious story of love and betrayal. The second book SOUVENIER D'AMOUR deals with Marcel and his love for the virginal Dany and the very beautiful but engaged Gabrielle .... Marcel has no trouble in allowing the women to have what they ultimately want. It's so delicious to read about women being the hunter without cheapening or shortening the excitement of the hunt. The story is complex and bawdy enough to re-read it many many times ... Buy it before it goes out of print !

Sensual, arousing erotica with a hint of romance

This collection excels at bringing the reader into the works. Anne-Marie Villefranche has done an excellent job at keeping the characters' relationships decidedly simple, yet dangerously complex.
