![]() ![]() Think I'm just being finicky? Well, try out the backdoor deflowerment in Chapter Ten. However: pretty soon Alleyn gets bogged down in a routine of extremely over-worked sex scenes that stretch credulity while exasperating the reader. When awkward Nicola arrives, things seem promising. The book begins well enough, with a slow-burn of tension as the arrival of Nicola approaches, distracting the reader with different sex games in the titular chateau. The basic situation is that Cassandra, about 18 months (?) on from the 1st book, has to endure a new game which pits her against a shy, inexperienced rival (essentially a version of how she was at the beginning of the earlier novel) who could take her place at the Baron's side if Cassandra fails to surpass the new girl, Nicola, in sexual submission and endurance. There are a lot of problems with this book that make it a missed-opportunity at best, and something of a real disappointment at worst. ![]() Less a sequel to Alleyn's scorching Cassandra's Conflict than a b-side. ![]()
