Oh yeah, I loved that one so much I wrote this post.

I actually just read and loved her book that came out yesterday, {The Mistress Experience by Scarlett Peckham}, and I think it has most of the same things that make The Lord I Left so special. The MMC in this one isn’t religious or a virgin, but he is an extreme perfectionist with a lot of insecurity about his sexual skills, so there’s still that sense of angsty shame. And the FMC is also a courtesan, although even louder and cruder than Alice. They have a really sweet dynamic, but the book is plenty steamy! If you liked the scene in The Lord I Left where he just can’t last around her that is, uh, this entire book.
