Alice Gaines novel, THE SIXTH LOVER is an amazing story
about how true love can
come from a letter sent from many miles away.
Carole Rutherford is a woman
in the 1880's living in New York who is happily married to
her husband.
Though she loves him, he cannot make her completely happy
sexually. But
she would never think of being unfaithful, as one of her
friends had suggested
she should have had five lovers before him. That way a woman
could
truly know by the sixth if she loves him or just settling. Carole's husband is
rich and can provide for her. Is that enough for her though?
Twenty years later Carole's sickly husband finally dies
leaving her a
widow at the age of forty. She has never had any children
and is still beautiful
in the eyes of other men. One who actually has sent her a
letter from London
claiming that he knew her years ago and has always been
madly in love with
her.
Mr. Thomas Rose will not give her clues of who he is but his
letters speak
of things that she has always been naive about. Her husband
could only
perform the basic for a woman's need of sex leaving her
inexperienced with
exotic burning lovemaking. Mr. Rose speaks of such love in
his letters and
challenges her to explore those parts of her that she has
wondered secretly
about on her own. She falls passionately in love with him
through their letter
writing.
He agrees to meet her but only after she completes the task
that
shows him how much she is really in love with him. She has
to travel to
London and have four more lovers before coming to him. As
Carole thinks
about how she had heard something similar before she agrees
and her travels
takes her to some incredible and some very different men
that she would not
have ever dreamed of being with.
When she finally meets Mr. Thomas Rose
she finds out details about his past that he kept from her.
Secrets that tell how
they knew each other and how he fell in love with her twenty
years ago. Will
she be upset with him from his secrets? Can she still agree
to love him when
she finds out? Mainly how has the past men she has been with
affect how she
can make him happy if she decides to truly give him what he
wants the most?
Her love.
THE SIXTH LOVER is a book that will have you captured from
the first page. I found
myself in awe as I read about the depths that Carole went
through to bring
herself to the man she thinks she is in love with. THE SIXTH
LOVER written by Alice
Gaines will be a novel hard for another erotic story line to
top.
THE SIXTH LOVE is a must to add to your summer reading list.
SUMMARY
In Gilded Age Manhattan, young widow Carole Rutherford has
more money than she can ever spend. What she’s missed in
life as the wife of a much older man is true passion…sex
with a man young and strong enough to fulfill all her
fantasies, leaving her limp with satisfaction. She fears
this part of life has passed her by and she’ll never rid
herself of the longings that plague her waking and dreaming
hours. Until she receives a letter from one Mr. Thomas Rose, a man
who claims to have met her in the past and who writes the
intriguing words: “You are not easy to forget.” A curious correspondence between the Carole and the
mysterious Mr. Rose follows- one that soon has her visiting
an odd shop in search of items no decent woman would own.
After that, their letters become more and more intimate
until Carole indulges in erotic acts and asks that Mr. Rose
do the same and report on his experiences to her. Finally,
he issues her the ultimate challenge. She is to come to him,
but she must take four other lovers first. The search for the illusive Mr. Rose takes Carole first to
England, then to France, and finally to Austria as she makes
a journey of sexual self-discovery. The man she finds when
she finally arrives in Italy to confront Mr. Rose may be her
ultimate lover or someone who’s totally forbidden.
