Introduction to M. Hunt: Passage 1 from the Courting of Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a genteel and sheltered young woman living at the French abbey and finishing school of St. Bianca. Her life has been quiet and unassuming and she longs for some excitement. When she starts a passionate affair with a local delivery boy named Charles, Elizabeth finally thinks she has found a way to get out of her life, to escape. But Charles proves to be unreliable and he exits her life as quickly as he entered it. Her life quickly settles back into its mundane existence of finishing school and chores for the nuns. However, the introduction of an American teacher, Monsieur Hunt, to the school proves to be all the impetus Elizabeth needs to truly start experiencing her long suppressed sexuality.

This is the first book in a new series by author Desiree Erotique. Elizabeth, though past legal age, remains a sexual innocent, and her status as a student might put some readers off, making her seem too young for her mature new teacher M. Hunt. However, Elizabeth’s curiosity makes her far more advanced than any mere school girl and it is this natural curiosity that made this story interesting. She’s about to experience something totally new in her life, something she never expected to discover. Fans of stories involving discipline and sexual themed punishment will enjoy Elizabeth’s coming to age story. It’s a romance in a different sense but it is nonetheless sensual, erotic and features some interesting character growth. I’m eager to see how Desiree Erotique will continue Elizabeth and M. Hunt’s journey.
