The first
Renee Rose romance I read was years ago. It was conservative well written and a
great read. Over the years Rose has become
a well established author, and now that she has matured she likes to walk on
the wild side of romance writing with hints of bdsm elements (like spanking)
added in the plot. All I can say is
“Wow!”
This is a historical romance with a bit of an
added twist. In “Held For Ransom”, Gorran (AKA Crowe)is Viking soldier kidnaps
the Kings sister (Princess Ariane) in an attempt ransom his missing sister whom
he thought was taken prisoner in one of the King’s raids. Of course he didn’t count on falling for her
beauty. The other thing that he didn’t count on was having to spank the spoiled
beauty, or how they both enjoying her spanking(s) so much. Gorran tries to come
off mean, but he is quite the opposite and protects the Princess. When Princess Ariane obviously enjoys her
spankings he begins to “play” with them a bit and they both dream of more.
Historical
erotic romances with spanking/bondage aren’t written often and that makes this
innovative novel a wonderful read. Gorran
and Ariane are obviously meant for each other no matter how much Ariene denies
her attraction to Gorran. Rose manages to pack a big “wholluping” (--lol) story
in very few pages. It reads like you have 200 pages to go, but readers won’t
feel cheated when it ends. I must say
that I wanted a lot more of the story. I
can easily imagine many more scenes and adventures for this loveable couple, I feel like I was just getting to know them
and that their story could easily have been 300 pages instead of only just over
a hundred pages.
This is a
novella that is well worth the read. Boy
has Renee Rose grown up!! I’m glad she is writing what she really likes instead
of just what others want to read. I can’t wait to find some more of her recent
work.
