This is one of the later volumes of an admirable Headline Delta sequence of a dozen or more charming accounts of the busy erotic adventures of a pair of friends, Sophia and Andy, in that early part of the nineteenth century when enterprise was a key word, whether public or private. The pair normally live in London, and each book catalogues their exploits there and also on their travels, providing convincing detail of the historically fascinating developments of the era. Andy and Sophia are routinely lovers, but do not limit themselves when it comes to exploring the free and easy attitudes to amorous coupling they encounter as they make their (usually separate) forays. In this volume they explore the delights of the English South Coast, basing themselves in Brighton, and, as always, their amorous encounters with a wide variety of youthful men and women are delightfully catalogued in detail. 'Eros in Summer' fulfils the expectations of its fellow volumes, and makes a fast-moving and pleasurable read for those in search of mostly conventional erotica. ( )
