	== ~~Book Synopsis~~ ==
			== Plot Summary ==
	Burton's debut, which aspires to highbrow erotica, opens in the modern day at Chateau de la Grotte Cachee, a castle tucked in the French countryside where guests fulfill their greatest carnal desires. Wimbledon champion Viktor Larsson is seduced by Elic, an immortal male who has transformed himself into a woman in order to acquire the tennis star's superior genetic seed. Soon the tale spins back more than 250 years to the devilry and debauchery of members of the Hellfire Club, a real-life English establishment known for its orgies and mock masses in which men called each other "brother" and female guests were known as "nuns." This is the first in a series by Burton, whose intriguing cast includes a vampire, a succubus, and the notorious Sir Francis Dashwood, the Hellfire Club's lecherous founder.

	*Reviewed On: February 5, 2007

	This is the erotica I've been waiting for my entire adult life: a fabulously exciting backdrop populated by the most outrageously sexy and original characters you could possibly imagine, doing, well, everything you could imagine and a whole lot more. How that library reviewer could have called House of Dark Delights "mildly stimulating" is beyond me. All I have to say to her is, sweetheart, if you know of ~~anything sexier than~~ this, don't hold back! I myself can't imagine a hotter read, and believe me, I know my erotica. Louisa Burton knows precisely which buttons to push, and she pushes them with the skill of a master. My favorite character is Elic, the shapeshifting incubus. I'd kill for an hour alone with that bad boy. House of Dark Delights is smarter and better written than Anne Rice's ~~Beauty trilogy, with a delicious dose of wit. And it's the first of a series! I've already cleared the shelf space.~~


	*5 out of 5 stars
	*One of the few times I'll ever give a book 5 stars!!!!
	*Reviewed On: March 8, 2007
	*Reviewed By: Pamela Wright

	~~This was one of the best books I've read~~ in ~~quite a while. Actually, it's~~ the ~~best book I've read . . . ever!~~

	~~This is a book of intense eroticism but there is so much more to it than that. There is a very well-written storyline with well-developed characters set before an historical backdrop.~~

	~~This book was about having your deepest fantasies come to life, but, thankfully~~, ~~not just in the sexual context. There~~ was ~~an academic wish-come-true as well as an emotional dream fulfilled~~. ~~Among others.~~

	~~This book had it all~~ and ~~I am very impatiently awaiting the sequel, due out this fall. What an incredible debut from a truly gifted author! I~~ will ~~shout her praises from the rooftops~~. ~~Brava, Ms Burton!!~~

This was one of the best books I've read in quite a while. Actually, it's the best book I've read . . . ever!

This is a book of intense eroticism but there is so much more to it than that. There is a very well-written storyline with well-developed characters set before an historical backdrop.

This book was about having your deepest fantasies come to life, but, thankfully, not just in the sexual context. There was an academic wish-come-true as well as an emotional dream fulfilled. Among others.

This book had it all and I am very impatiently awaiting the sequel, due out this fall. What an incredible debut from a truly gifted author! I will shout her praises from the rooftops. Brava, Ms Burton!!
