"Tales of the Beau Monde III"

Louisa is the housekeeper at Montvale, a country estate that has a unique collection of erotic implements hidden within its walls. A competent woman who has proven herself capable of healing troubled souls using both her sensual and more mundane talents, she has taken on the care of Professor Owen Lloyd-Jones, a scientist who has suffered an accident that leaves him burned and temporarily blind.

LYING WITH LOUSIA is (presumably) the final story in Kelly's Beau Monde trilogy. In this story the independent and sexually-aware Louisa finally finds a man to match her passion. This installment in the trilogy has been eagerly awaited (by this reviewer at least) and is not at all disappointing. Continuing in the trend of sexual healing, the story is well-rounded and features not only Louisa's talents, but also Lloyd-Jones' dedication to his recovery. The story wraps up nicely and includes a brief visit with the heroes and heroines of Kelly's other short stories.
