| For me there has always been a type of Classic New Orleans that exists beyond the dimensions of space and time; a city that harboured the likes of Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen; home of Anne Rice’s lovely vampire sagas; a city untouched by the ravages of Katrina and Rita. It is in this New Orleans that The Garden House possesses such power—a power of vampirism and Lesbian romance and steamy erotica that challenges the heat and humidity of the blanketing Louisiana nights. This is a New Orleans we all wish we could find—at least those of us who want curling toes and stories that will keep us up all night playing. Coed Clancy Rosabel of New Orleans high society is an innocent, untutored in the ways of love but quick enough to recognize the trickster nature of the President of the sorority her mother and grandmother proudly boasted. Sent to steal flowers from Belle Madame, New Orleans’ oldest remaining vampire, whose legendary history includes trysts with the pirate Jean LaFitte, Clancy is no fool. She may dress like a Catholic schoolgirl and she may be virginal, but she isn’t dumb. Instead of stealing from the Garden of Belle Madame Leonor Griffin, Clancy requests a flower. In true symbolic fashion, the story has barely commenced when not only Lea’ s garden, but Clancy herself, comes into blossom. A centuries-old jaded vampiress and a young college student find more than either could ever have dreamed in Belle Madame’s Garden House. Caution to reader: even those of you with straight hair will find you finish this book with a perm! The eroticism is very subtle but nonetheless totally scorching. This book appeared in the summer of 2006 and immediately took its place on my Bedtime Reading Shelf. |
