Episode 136: French Pharmacy - "The Duke Makes Me Feel" by Adriana Herrera
Bon-joooor, mess aymees! Yr grls are dusting off their berets to make a novella-sized meal of "The Duke Makes Me Feel" by Adriana Herrera, originally pubbed in "Duke I'd Like to F" but now its very own thing!
Victorian business woman Marena works hard to keep clientele and kiss'n'tell separate. Enter Duke of Linley and a trip to The City of L'amour and some very fancy lace to shake prod her boundaries.
Can making the political explicit be exploitative? Is there a new shape of historical romance or is it just contemporaries in older clothes? And is it just Isabeau or are they all full of Henry Cavill?
The bordelaise isn't the only thing getting creamed in this one!
