"A very sexy bit of Victorian erotica to entice the mind and senses, House of Dark Delights is a captivating tale.... Louisa Burton has an elegant hand with her writing that confers that feeling of high-brow erotica that titillates while it intellectually stimulates.

"The eroticism is what sets this story apart. Readers will be transfixed by the tableaux that she presents, and seduced by the lure of so many forbidden delights. A member of the Hellfire club finds herself in unfamiliar territory as she submits to her dark desires. A young scientist discovers much more than the hidden grotto in the caves. An engaged couple leaves the chateau with a renewed commitment, and more. These stories will fascinate the reader, and whet her appetite for the books to come." Paula, A Romance Review
