Rosie Romanes claims to have found 10 steamy stories that never made it to press from the likes of Emma, Wuthering Heights, The Count of Monte Cristo, Pride and Prejudice, and more for her PHD Thesis, “Lost Lit”.
Her prim and proper supervising professor, Constance Westaway, doesn’t believe a single, smutty word of it.
Are these Labours of Lust just an elaborate ruse by Rosie to cheat her way through a degree? Or did these uncovered gems really go unnoticed, hidden in archives for centuries?

Taryn de Meillon –
I read the Advance Review Copy for this title, provided by Inkspot Publishing. This was such a fun and quick read – I’ll definitely use it as a future gift idea for my bookish friends. The storyline is lighthearted, the missing sex scenes that Rosie submits were un-put-down-able, and the illustrations were a fantastic embellishment to top them off!
This is quite the 180 from Catherine Evans, but her humour and detail-orientation from her other writings definitely come through.
