This tale left me wanting...it turned out to be a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" for the most part.  The story was so short that there was no time for character building or background or rhyme or reason.  I didn't really find it "steamy" or "erotic", so other than the author's ability to portray the time period adequately...there really wasn't much else going for this one.  Sorry, but it only rates two stars with me.
