Starring Miss Beatrice Irving and Lady Amelia Garrick.
Beatrice has been in love with her employer, Amelia, for two years, three months, and twenty-nine days. All seems impossible for the lady is married… and Beatrice knows she has to be content with loving Amelia from a far.
Amelia is stuck in a loveless marriage. Her husband is cruel, his touch leaves her in pain, and he resents her for being barren. All Amelia wants is to feel loved. To her surprise she finds the calm and comfort she needs from Beatrice… and a sensual massage changes their relationship forever.
A very short and sensual story. The twist was very well done. I love Nicola Davidson, she is definitely one of my Keeper Shelf authors. She fills her books with so much wonderful emotions, even in the span of her novellas. This was well written and I can not wait to read about the other characters in the Surrey Sexual Freedom Society Series.
My star system:
4 stars: Book was great… loved the characters… will definitely be re-reading this story… but didn’t make me cry
This is such a fun quick and SEXY read! I love Amelia and Bea!

Welcome to the Surrey Sexual Freedom Society, it’s only a small society with five members but I’m sure each one has a story.
Beatrice Irving is companion to Amelia, Countess of Garrick & has been in love with her employer since the day they met. Amelia is intelligent, beautiful, and married. It seems Beatrice is destined to remain alone. Amelia is desperate, she’s trapped in a marriage to a man who constantly berates her for being barren & then he leaves to live a bachelor’s life in London. Then one night the friendship becomes something more, and Amelia is introduced to an intoxicating new world.
This is a short novella but it still packs a punch, not your usual affair. It won’t be everybody’s cup of tea but it is a love story of two lonely people finding love & pleasure with each other. The characters are likeable & have depth which you don’t often find in such a short book, Clay & specially Denham are also intriguing as is Portia. The story is well paced & there are a couple of unexpected twists & turns. I read it in one sitting & look forward to more in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed this very hot story & would have loved for it to have been longer
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
MY LADY’S LOVER is a Regency romance featuring characters that belong in the Surrey Sexual Freedom Society, and Beatrice Irving is a member. She is a lady’s maid and companion to Amelia, Countess of Garrick. Amelia had been in a miserable marriage until her old husband passed away two years prior. Beatrice knows that she likes women, and she has been dreaming of Amelia for the two years since she started working for the Countess, but despairing that anything would ever come to be. Amelia never knew anything else than her selfish beast of a husband, she had always been virtuous, did not even fathom that there existed such a thing as women loving women. However one night changes everything for Amelia and Beatrice.
I had read My Lord, Lady, and Gentleman, book three of the Surrey SFS series first, and I had to know Beatrice and Amelia’s story, and I am thrilled that I chose to do so. I love Ms. Davidson’s writing, so who better for my foray into F/F romance! And, as expected, MY LADY’S LOVER is fabulous! MY LADY’S LOVER is an erotic romance made entirely enchanting, because of the subtlety and the utter exquisiteness of the language and the sentiments conveys. Both Beatrice and Amelia are different, so charming in different ways, and so endearing; I love how they act towards each other, and it feels genuine. The prose is impossibly gorgeous, silky and incandescent, just dreamy: “ … but a certain crispness had started to creep in each morning that whispered autumn was on its way”. Isn’t it simply lovely! And the ending was sublime! Each book can be read as a standalone, but why deprive yourself of all this beauty! Nicola Davidson has earned her place on my keeper shelf, and on my autobuy list! What a marvellous author!
How Erotic! My Lady’s Lover by Nicola Davidson is the first book in the Surrey SFS series. This steamy novella brings innocence and joy to a relationship that is forbidden. Nicola writing is visual and her characters come alive. This story brings a secret relationship, innocents, scandal, deception, abuse, arranged marriage, society club, joy, greed and love. Travel back to 1814 England with Miss Beatrice Irving and Lady Amelia Countess of Garrick.
