Browsing amazon led me to discover that there is a whole series of romance books about English aristocrats who are former denizens of Turkish brothels?!?!?

I didn't realize that was a sort of thing that apparently routinely happened in the 19th century...

WTF!!!!

I can't unsee...

Hey, wouldn't that be the series written by Kate Pearce? The House of Pleasures or something?

'Cause if it is, it's such a freaking coincidence! I discovered that same fact yesterday but not while browsing Amazon.

[dangermousie]

Yup, the very same. Though unless you are into bad writing and threesomes, I'd stay away.

I read the reviews on Goodreads and I ran the other way pretty fast!

I got one of these out of morbid curiousity (trainwreck syndrome) and it was so so so so bad. Not to mention so ahistorical as to set my teeth on edge.

Aw, c'mon! You can't throw something like that out there and not provide a link so we can also suffer with you!

Kate Pierce, the House of Pleasures. It's pretty bad actually...
