A Really Great Love Story, September 29, 2012
This review is from: Agatta (Kindle Edition)
I was really surprised by this book. I have never heard of this author, but I must say, I loved her interpretation! I discovered the book trough the free books advertised by Pixels of ink and was pleasently surprised. Although not a typical hearts and flowers love story, it was a love story nonetheless. I thought the characters were realistic, loving and flawed. That's what made it such a great story! The story made me laugh, get angry, frighten and even cry. I think it was very well done and I look forward to greatness from this author!

Since then, three years had passed and she had become one of Clovis’s most prosperous harlots.Specializing in women of color, Madam Clovis had operated a successful New Orleans assignation house for seventeen years. With Agatta as a prized acquisition, her trade grew all the more lucrative for the latter of her reign.
