Back to the Castle of the Hidden Grotto to taste the decadent pleasures that only four immortals can deliver. They live here, feasting on carnal energy, they entice, ravish and pleasure their human visitors. A young man who is posing as a landscaper is at the Castle to find out if the rumors of wickedness are true. He is really a Jesuit, vowed to chastity. But he is forced to acknowledge his desires.

The château’s administrator is dying and his daughter is visiting knowing that she should be taking his place, but doesn’t want to. If she does, she would have to find a wife for the love of her life. There is one light at the end of this tunnel, and it dates back to a wild weekend in 1972, when some loving hippies visited the château for a few days where they broke every convention and taboo.

Decadently and sinfully erotic, this story is something you want to read in a soft, warm atmosphere, and somewhere where you can get to your significant other quickly, because it will turn you on, rev your motor and get you really going. So, you will not only enjoy the sexy, sensual love scenes in this book, but also the stories. The plots are very good, with conflict and emotions that run high. The characters leap off the pages and secondary characters give life and depth. This is a book that I enjoyed very much. I was reading it on the train, and I was always wondering if I was blushing too much. It certainly had me squirming in my seat...oh my! I enjoyed BOUND IN MOONLIGHT very much and enjoyed re-visiting the château and its immortals. I just need to pick up the book before this one as soon as possible.
