EXCERPT
A Fine Profession:
The Chambermaid's Tales Part One
by Sarah
Michelle Lynch
Description
A mysterious woman
tells her tale to the private investigator sent to find her…
Lottie reveals the
tragic events that led her into the arms of a community of free-loving people.
Within the secretive confines of the Lodge, she has a chance to be herself and
escape the banality of her day job.
A ménage à trois
doesn't work out how she expected and she leaves behind the friends who helped
her find her creativity. She goes on to explore her need for control, adopting
the guise of a domme. But a domineering man arrives in her life and overthrows
everything she previously believed. He is unforthcoming about his past – but we
never discover the reasons. We know they were parted, but why?
Excerpt
The consummate seductress sat cross-legged on a chaise longue that was as
crimson as her feted heart. That secondary bed straddled a voluptuous,
Moroccan-inspired, Axminster rug, which added a touch of colour to a boudoir
dominated by dark oak. She took a moment to survey the lavish, candlelit
bedchamber, which might once have housed Henry Tudor for a night, for all she
knew. It was just like many other sanctuaries she had grown accustomed to and
those workaday environs no longer held any romance for her. They were as much a
part of the illusion as she was.
The plush velvet of her seat somewhat clashed with the French, silk
stockings she wore, so fine were they against her smooth, waxed limbs, she
avoided static contact, barely moving an inch. The brooding, feminine
musculature of her back was visible above a black lace basque, complemented by
French knickers, suspenders and a customary pair of patent leather stilettos.
The garments she need not have worn, for they left little to the imagination,
though perhaps acted as a barrier of sorts.
Featured Review
By Beem Weeks
Though it's billed
as chick-lit, A Fine Profession by Sarah Michelle Lynch is much more than that simple genre
tag allows. What I discovered between these electronic pages is an involved
story that's engaging in ways as to draw the interests of both sexes. To label
it as mere chick-lit or erotica serves only to lure a certain segment of
readers while keeping others at bay.
This is the story of
Lottie, a practitioner of all things sexual, hence the erotica label. But the
story delves deeper into the human condition, examining the choices made by
this one woman. Lottie is the one telling the story of her own sexual
awakening, spilling her secrets to Heath, a private investigator sent to track
down this mysterious Chambermaid. The sex scenes certainly call for an audience
of 18 years of age and older; but don't be turned away. Lynch has crafted a
well-written story filled with fleshed-out characters that are as real as any
literary characters I've ever read. We learn of Lottie's childhood battle with
illness, of her struggles with early-adulthood responsibilities, and of the
true love she seeks. But just who sent this private investigator to track down
the Chambermaid? You'll have to purchase your own copy to get answers. This is
a book I feel safe in recommending. I don't normally read erotica, but A Fine Profession offers so much more than simple sex. I rate Lynch's novel 5
out of 5 stars.
