My Lady's Pleasure starts off strong with the siege of
Lady's Randmead castle by the Viking conquerors. The head
of the Vikings, Ulric, is a tall blonde whose hunger for
power is matched only by his hunger for sexual pleasure.
Lady Devon sees the "enemy" from afar and something in both
of them changes. Upon her surrender, which she feels is the
only way to save her people, Ulric gains control over the
castle but not over the Lady Devon.
Ulric is at a loss on how to obtain the submission and
companionship of the Lady. Determined to not repeat some of
the mistakes of his father, the Viking decides that a new
approach may be necessary. When a traveling minstrel offers
Ulric not only a way to her bed but also her heart the
Viking employs the minstrel, Trey in more ways than one.
But soon Ulric soon learns that Trey may be vying for more
than a place in Randmead's court.
Devon must choose between the romantic poet and the savage
beast that will require some taming. But which one does a
Lady need?
Alice Gaines' novella packs a punch from the very
beginning. The siege of the castle builds to the siege of
the Lady. Ulrich is more than a raping and pillaging
Viking, or at least he becomes more in an attempt to be the
man Devon needs for a husband. The triangle between Ulric,
Devon and Trey is a fantasy worth exploring. A fast paced
read that leaves you wanting more Viking love. The pace was
great and kept me intrigued until I finished the novella.
The setting was intriguing and the characters well
developed and I plan to read more by this author.
My Lady's Pleasure is part of the Three Kinds of Wicked
series that follows a slider named Trey through space and
time. His charge is to help human couples find happiness by
entering into sexual relationships with him. My Lady's
Pleasure tells the story of the Viking raider Ulric and Lady
Josalyn of Randmead castle.
When Ulric overruns Josalyn's home, he takes everything in
the castle as his own, including her. How can she take this
huge beast of a man as her husband, especially in the
marriage bed? Ulric has as his ally the troubador Trey, who
has potions and salves to arouse her passions.
