Under the Master by Vanessa Devereaux was a fast paced historical erotica novella that had me devouring the book as soon as I started. I was unable to put this one down. The book is HOT!. The Duke and Duchess of Winslow having a kinky but loving relationship. The needs of the Duke is something that many woman would dream about. The Duchess succumbing to her husbands desires is more than understandable. The writing pulls you in and makes you want to hear more about the Duke and Duchess and the mysterious Simon Duvall. If you want something quick and HOT to read then I recommend getting Under the Master by Vanessa Deveraux. The plot was intriguing and there was an interesting twist at the end making the book even better. I loved how Vanessa was able to bring you into the time period with her writing and her description of the characters. The only complaint that I have is that I want more and that is what an author should do is leave the reader wanting more. Vanessa Devereaux succeeded!
