Anam Céile Chronicles #7
The Submission of Giuliana
"As I lay there being taken by two men, my orgasm swept through me, yet it was for another who had pleasured me only in the realm of my mind."
Giuliana never dreamed life would lead her to where she is now-- serving as a courtesan in the swanky vampire theatre Sanguelascivia in Venice, Italy. Some days, she hates to admit, she loves her job-- what woman wouldn't enjoy being sexually pleasured in a variety of new ways every day? She has been serviced by some of the most mouthwatering men she has ever laid eyes on.
And still other days, she cannot believe she has lowered herself to this. Then there are the Vampire patrons to whom she is expected to submit and service privately after the shows. Her life at Sanguelascivia is in severe contrast to the simple life she once knew with her husband and child. But she no longer allows herself to think of them. It is too painful to face the loss.
Giuliana vowed she would never love again. That is, until she sees Vincenzo her first night at the theatre and something stirs deep within her. Night after night she aches as she watches him with other women, wondering when she will finally have her turn to be pleasured by him. The only way she is able to endure her performances with the other men-- and oft times women-- is to fantasize about him pleasuring her.
Will she ever feel him against her skin, feel his lips hot upon hers, feel him moving inside of her?
The Submission of Giuliana is an Erotic Novella focusing on an individual character from the Anam Céile Chronicles, a series which centers around true love, soul mates, self-discovery, loss, vampires, lust, and the faith in reincarnation set in the lush backdrops of rugged Ireland, beautiful, culturally rich Italy, Venice and Florence, amongst others. It can be read alone or in conjunction with the series.

About the author
Rosalind Scarlett
27 books72 followers"I write descriptive stories in lush settings overflowing with every emotion shared by the human experience: joy, hope, love, desire, longing, lust, jealousy, hunger, loathing, uncertainty, grief, and desperation, amongst others. As we can all relate to some, if not most of these, I delve into these matters of the heart and put them on naked display for you, the reader of my stories. At times you will find the aura of my stories exceedingly beautiful, and then suddenly, rather dark.
Whether it is my novels or my Erotica novellas, I delight in writing a passionate sex scene, but do so in a manner which, though still deliciously explicit enough to stimulate your blood flow, is not necessarily crude. I write the stories I always sought to read, yet could never seem to come across these days.
I am most honoured to have had my style of writing compared to Anne Rice, as well as classic female erotica writer Anaïs Nin. If you enjoy work by these great authors, as well as more contemporary paranormal romance authors such as Felicity Heaton, Bella Forrest or Tina Folsom, then you are sure to love mine."
Rosalind Scarlett is an award winning Paranormal Romance author of the Anam Céile Chronicles, as well as the New series Erotic Kingdom which retells classic fairy tales with a paranormal and erotic twist.
Rosalind Scarlett lives in the mystically beautiful Pacific Northwest, USA with her loving and supportive husband, two rambunctious little boys, her pampered kitty, Bella, her feisty canary, Limoncello and her proud bunny, Micah. She holds degrees in Psychology and Interior Design. Rosalind is zealously proud to be of Celtic ancestry.
When not immersed in her writings, Rosalind's passions are reading, listening to music, yoga, spiritual exploration, organic gardening and living, riding horses, transforming ugly, old houses to their former splendor, riding bicycles with her family, hiking, mountains, lush evergreen forests, foggy mornings, falling snow, feeding old bread to small critters and watching nature from her deck on crisp evenings with a glass of wine.
Rosalind Scarlett is always delighted to receive correspondence from her fans. She may be contacted at [email protected]. You can also visit her official author Website at http://www.rosalindscarlett.com.

I'm not going to lie, I was looking for something nicely naughty to read and I wasn't disappointed. Guys, this story has girl on girl, guy on girl, guy on guy, and guy on girl on girl. Oh, and vampires. DO YOU SEE WHY I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED? I got a little of everything. Except minotaurs. But those are an acquired taste, so I'm totally cool with their lack.
Anyway. I don't think this needs to be said, but this was a sexy little read. Fairly quick (although the courtesans were in no way quick themselves, if you know what I mean), it thrust (heh) Giuliana into a variety of different sexual situations as she longs for the one man in the troupe that she isn't paired up with.
Tough life, amirite???
That's right, she gets to have multiple orgasms with multiple partners (something that she throws herself into with gratifying ease) all while fantasizing about the man who stirs her loins to unimaginable heights. It was pretty hot.
It has also piqued my interest in the other books in this series. I am intrigued. Very intrigued. Well played, Rosalind Scarlett. Well played.

Normally, I avoid erotica. I’ve tried a few times to read some, but mostly it just ended with me recoiling and wanting to use something drastic to get some of the images out of my head –like bleach. It’s not that I don’t like sex-scenes in a book, far from it, but I don’t need it to be vulgar, crude or down-right porn.
So when Rosalind emailed me to request a review of her erotic short story, The Submission of Giuliana, I hesitated. But at the same time, I was curious. So I investigated (a.k.a. I checked out her websites, her books, reviews ect) and was surprised by what I found. I emailed her back and we got to talk about her books and why the erotic twist. Rosalind explained and pointed out the exact same things I don’t like with erotica. Rosalind wanted me to try (even though I normally stay clear), and wanted to know what I thought when done.
I circled around the book for some time, having some other things to be done with first, but then one afternoon sat down and started to read. And kept reading. Without noticing, I finished it in under an hour, looked up and thought; why did it end?
Yes, it is erotica, yes there is sex involved in the story (duh), but that’s not all there is to it. The characters are well written, their story touching and you’re rooting for them to find each other, for there to be a happy ending. When closing the book, I found my mind wandering to Giuliana and Vencinzo, wondering what happened after the book ended. Hoping we would see them again.
Rosalind took my opinion and turned it around. I was pleasantly surprised by her story and it was just the right kind of toe-curling for me. ;-)
Where does this leave erotica for me? Well, I can tell you, The Submission of Giuliana is not the last book by Rosalind I’m going to read – erotica or not. Will I read other erotica too? Maybe. I will definitely keep my eyes and mind more open towards this genre, that’s for sure.
So thank you Rosalind. Thank you for the chance to read your book and to see that there can be good erotica out there. <3

This was a short little erotic read. Guiliana is at the end of her means, she is eating out of trash and garbage. She has lost her husband and life as she knows it is over. Until a stranger offers her assistance by giving her a beautiful place to live as long as she lives as a courtesan. The trick is she is a courtesan to vampires. This is also tricky because she has only ever been with her husband, and it has not been anything but vanilla. So when she sees that her acts on stage are out of her comfort zone she doesn't know if she can do it. But in reality, she has no choice. Then she sees Vincenzo. He is the one she want to be with. But they never have acts together, someone is intercepting them. So I was like okay, so vampires aren't really like attacking. They're almost civil like. Okay, this is different. Then it happens. The night that changes her and could ultimately kill her. And there is her Vincenzo, he is her hero. Then the story ends. I know this is a novella, but still I didn't expect the store to just end. It was like okay..the story is moving along..then I hit a wall and the book was over. That was really the only thing I didn't like about it. It just all the sudden ended. And where did her boss go? And why does that chick hate her so much? Okay, so maybe I was left with some questions that needed answered. All in all this was a hot short read.

This is one of the most enjoyable reads I have had in a very long time. For me, it was a step outside my comfort zone in that I was reading a genre that was new to me. But we have to dip our toes some time, right?
Anyway, I'm glad I did. I found the story engrossing and developed a deep fondness for Giuliana. I felt her vulnerability and her sensuality. She is one of my favourite characters in a long time and I cared deeply what happened to her in the story. I loved too the historical setting and felt the author combined the erotic and historic content wonderfully well.
Essentially this is an erotic novel. I found the erotic content very tastefully delivered and felt it made for excellent reading. It was one of the rare occasions while reading a novel that I enjoyed such imagery and actually looked forward to more as the story progressed. For a writer to evoke such things in me requires a lot of talent and to me, Ms Scarlett clearly has that in abundance.
An excellent read that is entertaining to the end, from a very talented lady. 5/5 from me.

Really a hot book. Loved Giuliana and her new blood courtesan job! WIth the hot and steamy scenes on the stage and the tension behind the stages an entertaining read. Short but powerful, I only wished the ending would be different. Finding love in the whore house doesn't seem like a happy end!

A Newly Discovered World of Carnal Experiences
As one would expect with a story of a meek and prude woman transforming into a sexually charged highly desired courtesan, “The Submission of Giuliana” is highly erotically stimulating throughout. As with most vampire stories there is an ever present aire of mystery. The reader never quite knows what is about to transform for Giuliana. Is she going to have yet another erotic encounter of a lifetime or is she going to be drained of her lifeblood? It is most stimulating knowing the inner thoughts of a young woman who had never imagined being with anyone but her husband only a few weeks prior to having her first oral (she had never even thought such a debauched act existed) Ménage à Trois, foursome, MMF, FFM, FFF, BDSM experiences!
“The Submission of Giuliana” is a fantastically sexually stimulating Novella which will leave the reader desiring for a little more of Giuliana’s new life.
