Wow, Regency Romp is getting the best reviews yet, and as this was probably my favorite short to write so far, I'm actually very, very pleased to see it's continuing success with reviewers that it comes to.

This is my second review from Kwips and Kritiques, the first one being my very first review I ever got, and that for Masquerade Vol 2 in October last year.

Like that story, Laudanum is a dark narrative, not exactly a conventional romance, and diving straight into the BDSM lifestyle. This is what Jennifer had to say about it:

Madam Moon's establish seemed the perfect place for Juliana to hide, even if the situation is less than ideal.  Still, allowing her body to be sold in Madam Moon's establishment is infinitely better than the fate in store for her at the hands of her father's associate upon her father's death.  But Juliana wasn't at all prepared to deal with a man like Frederick Barrington – not for one night, and especially not for the entire weekend he has paid the Madam for.

Nikki Watson's entry in Regency Romp is a little different, to say the least.  This is not your typical love story, but her characters find love together, nonetheless.  Frederick and Juliana exhibit clearly that love comes in many flavors, and lovers of both historicals and BDSM will love this little nugget as much as I did.

Meanwhile, I have started on my second Of Elves and Men novel, and the title came quickly to me this time: Hunted. So far, I have introduced a death, a love interest, a masked ball, and a character you are supposed to hate. Still, it is not coming along as quickly as the first one, but after the brain drain I found after finishing Ascent, I think, perhaps, this is a good thing. *smiles*
