Review: Annalise Fernsby wants only to provide a safe and stable life for her four younger siblings. After her father left them destitute, a young woman in Victorian times only has a few options. Annalise agrees to become one of Countess Oreste's Flowers at her brothel, the House of Virtue. What she doesn't expect is to fall for a handsome client, Eryx Wilder. He sets his sights on Annalise, wanting her for so much more than one night.
This is the first book in the steamy Victorian romance series, Virtue & Vice. It starts right away with Annalise moved into the Countess' house and being introduced to the other Flowers. The cast of characters is fabulous, and I especially loved the Countess herself. She has her own troubles on the side that I really want to read about. There are no closed doors in this book, and Annalise prefers it that way. Lots of hot scenes and fabulous tension between Annalise and Eryx. I loved that Annalise was doing what she was for her siblings, but she didn't shy away from it. She wants not only to earn the money for her family, but to enjoy herself as she does so. It isn't going to be for long after all. I would have liked to see more in the House of Vice, but maybe we'll see more of it later in the series.
