Book Reviews of The Pleasure Master
Book Review: Humorous Romp Through Time
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very humorous time traveling romp from the very modern New York hair stylist's not so wonderful divorced life, to the sexy lair of a 1542 Scotsman. This is a historical time travel like none I have ever encountered. It is different because the author does not waste time trying to develop a good explanation for the time travel nor the fact that a working cell phone in 1542 plays a very humorous part in the story. The reader is simply asked to go along for the ride and if you can suspend your disbelief the author, Nina Bangs, does deliver a "bang" for your buck! (I apologize for the last statement, I couldn't resist).
This is the first book by Nina Bangs that I have read. This was an early book of hers, and almost all of her books appear to have paranormal aspects. This is why there is no attempt at a more "scientific" explanation for the time travel. Her later books, from what I have read, are more about vampires and ware wolfs with a twist, I am looking forward to trying them too.
I enjoyed this book and plan to read more of her work. I liked the sexual tension that the author builds skillfully, and the characters, though eccentric were endearing. Peter, a talking toy robot, the source of Kathy of Hair's time travel, is both humorous and not a little creepy. The cell phone exchanges between Kathy's hardened New York divorce attorney and the Neanderthal brother of the Pleasure master were laugh out loud (enabling me to forget the obvious problem I would normally have with a working cell phone in the highlands of Scotland, much less the 16th century).
I would have liked to see more description of Scotland and the political aspects of the time. More details on how a modern women would deal with the inconveniences during that time period would have been interesting, and yes slightly more sex (there is not as much as the cover would have you believe). Perhaps to add to the books many humorous movie quotes "a little less talk and a little more action".
Still I would recommend this book to a person wanting to spend a rainy afternoon with a good read. If you like Scotsman, sexual tension, and time travel, do what I did, lie back and let the Pleasure Master have its way with you.
Summary of The Pleasure Master
A very special man is now available.The Pleasure Master. A man who knows the secrets of a woman's body, who can bring her sensual joy and fulfill her deepest sexual fantasies. Is there a woman alive who wouldn't want to meet him?
Check New York hairdresser Kathy Bartlett off your list. She has enough problems with a rotten ex-husband and a car that's stranded her. Men and cars. Both overheat at the wrong time. She needs a vacation somewhere warm and peaceful, with only subservient males.
Whoever is in charge of wish fulfillment doesn't listen well, because Kathy is suddenly flung back to 1542 Scotland. It's cold, definitely not peaceful, with nary a subservient male in sight. There's only Ian Ross, the Pleasure Master.
Ian's brothers demand that he prove his sexual power by seducing a woman no other man can seduce. Who better than Kathy? She has nothing but contempt for Ian Ross, and as Ian's brothers have discovered, any attempt to woo the lass could put a man's most precious body parts in grievous danger.
Ian accepts the challenge, confident he can seduce any woman, then leave her with his emotions untouched. Kathy remains determined to resist the explosive attraction she feels for Ian. Love won't be denied, but time is an impatient enemy.
