The Diary of Cozette

By Amanda McIntyre

Book Overview

Passion knows no status or wealth... True, I am but a mere maidservant from a great house, snatched from a wretched existence of poverty and desperation to serve noblemen of wealth and privilege. And yet... While I am indeed of lowly rank, I am also a young woman who allowed herself to sample life's greatest pleasures in the hands of these titled men. My tales overflow in this journal, penning my journey to becoming a woman of power of the most base, yet stimulating, breed. Unmarried and twenty, yet betrothed to no man, I would be considered a spinster by most, yet this is of my own ardent intention. With my unabashed lushness and wisdom regarding a man's most vehement cravings, I am not lacking for suitors or proposals given in the heat of passion. No, I have yet to meet the man who will challenge me, satisfy me in all ways, not only of the flesh. For where passion and desire are fleeting, my heart continues to beat....

Fantastic!

The Diary of Cozette is just that, the diary of Anne Cozette Bennett, which spans from August 1869 to the winter of 1875. At the age of fourteen, Cozette's mother becomes too weak from illness to care for her, and sends her away to an aunt and uncle's home to live. Her mother gives her a diary and tells her to keep track of her adventures. Of course, I doubt her mom would have thought Cozette's entries would be of the explicit sexual journey Cozette embarks upon. After an incident with her cousin shortly after Cozette's arrival, she finds herself shipped off to an orphanage. There she meets a young man named Ernest. Eventually their relationship turns to one of a sexual nature, awakening her feminine passion. Ernest fears for her well-being and sends her to London with the promise he will follow her shortly. He never shows and over a year later, after suffering terrible tribulations, Cozette finds herself serving a most unlikely lady. She gave Cozette a safe and secure home, even though she was a servant, there was still much respect, allowing Cozette to grow into a decent young lady. Within that home Cozette also learns of her inner passions and longings, that which is denied ladies of the time. Men enter her life, offering her what her body craves since that night of passion with Ernest. Ernest awakened her passion. Francois breathed life into it. And Mr. Rodin refined it. But who will claim it and keep for themselves? For Cozette has a passion that will be neither banked nor denied. I loved watching Cozette grow and change over the course of this book. Watching her go from inexperienced with Ernest, to thinking herself in love with Francois, to knowing that what she has with Mr. Rodin is no more than two adults enjoying the companionship of each others bodies. And then of course the one man who matches her and stokes the flames inside her that she dreamed she could spend the rest of her life with without worry he might tire and seek passion elsewhere. That one man she could love. The Diary of Cozette is not really a romance, more erotic fiction with romantic elements. It's more what I said previously, Cozette coming of age and accepting and exploring her sensually passionate nature. It was very elegantly written. The words flowed very poetically. Ms. McIntyre can pen some really amazing sexual encounters. And the great thing, they are rather short but pack a walloping punch! Truly an awesomely talented writer Amanda McIntyre is<---hey, that was kinda like Yoda :). I also loved the unique set-up of this book, entry dates as if it really were a diary, rather than chapters.

Loved every minute of it!

This was such a unique and refreshing change of pace from the usual romance. I loved the format and truly could not put it down. The scenes were hot, the romance sweet as they come. Couldn't ask for more. Indeed, my only complaint might be that there wasn't more of it, or more of Amanda McIntyre, for that matter. Where are you, Ms. McIntyre?

My favorite book

For my whole life, I'd never been able to tell others what was my favorite book. Now I can safely say THIS BOOK IS IT. It's been over a month since I finished it, and I stillget tingly from how utterly romantic the ending was. A required read for all romance lovers.

Great Read

Thought book was a great read, a great escape to another time. I enjoyed the characters, enjoyed the "steamy" intervals. The ending of the book was a nice surprise. Will be looking forward to more from this author! A very entertaining delight!!

Engrossing!

Diary of Cozette was a pure delight--a fresh, engaging first-person voice, a compelling story, and some seriously *hot* love scenes. I particularly enjoyed the 'diary entry' format--very original! All in all, a great read, and one I couldn't put down!
