The Ravishing of Lady May by Charlotte Lovejoy, 314 pages


Margaret has been raised in a convent since she was a baby, growing up with the knowledge that she was an abandoned foundling, with no family and money. But she discovers that she is actually Lady Margaret Roseberry, ward to King Henry VIII. Countess Arabella has been sent to bring her to court. Arabella's brother Jasper meets up with his sister and Margaret and is instantly attracted to Margaret, deciding to seduce her. But Arabella has decided that Margaret will be her meal ticket, training her in sensuous arts for the king's pleasure. Margaret is determined though that she will find pleasure herself, after being denied it so long at the convent. Will Margaret and Jasper find a way to please each other and themselves without angering the king?
"The Ravishing of Lady May" by Charlotte Lovejoy was a steamy and seductive, torrid and tawdry read, filled with lots of erotic encounters. While not much plot or character development takes place, Charlotte Lovejoy creates a hot, hot book for anyone looking for a one night stand of a story. I would not have chosen this book myself but had it sent to me as a review book. This was much more erotic than I normally read and like, but all in all, it wasn't any worse than Laurell K. Hamilton's last few books.
