Kensington Aphrodisia released the erotic Regency romance BEING WICKED by author Lacy Danes in February 2009 with a deeply provocative prose, elicited affairs, bondage, voyeurism and finding your destiny once upon a Cyprian Ball. Danes has given her fans a decadently sensual read that every word melts off the pages and into readers¿ hearts.

It has been a long time since he has seen Grace but the sparks of attraction between them are about to set of a maelstrom of intense passion. He will show this beauty that he can love her like no other and make her admit and submit to her darkest desires. BEING WICKED is two stories in one. I really enjoyed the way this story was written. There are four main protagonists, Lady Lily and Vincent St. Jerome is told through Lilly¿s section but interweaves with Lady Grace and Greyton¿s story. I found this to be hypnotic. There is never a point where you are jerked from one heroine¿s drama to the next. Danes has uniquely given readers a bird¿s eye view into all four characters world simultaneously. The major element of BEING WICKED that was appealing was Danes creative perception of all the main characters. One did not out shine the other. Nor did any one character shadow them other. Danes writing was set to a rhythmic tempo that keeps readers entertained while following along this lusciously provocative novelette.
