Saskia Walker’s novella “Their Private Arrangement” is a very small taste of the world and what readers are to expect in her novel, “The Harlot.” Set in the same period, 1715, and the same place, Scotland, the story follows the romantic intrigue of a forbidden homosexual couple and the woman who is attracted to them. Morag is a maidservant and wench in the local tavern and is forced with the other servers to keep secret the amorous congress of two men which is forbidden by the Catholic religion which is ever present in Scotland. Morag is attracted to Duggan Moore, a tradesman and most recently the lover of the noble aristocratic James Grant. To keep his lovers attention James invites Morag into their relationship and is surprised at his own desire for her as well. However the tryst cannot continue as an angry mob following an accused witch comes into town and disrupts everything. Can the ménage a trios stay discreet or will they burn for their forbidden and blasphemous affair?
As an avid reader of erotica, starting at a young age, I find Saskia Walker’s work rather intriguing. Instead of having the sweet virginal female character who is brought into a dark and kinky world by the devious male hero, her women have fully realized of their sexuality and are searching for the next love or lust affair with open eyes and wet genitalia. This, I feel is an improvement against the doe eyed patron saint. I have to confess that this is the first erotica that delved into male homosexuality paired with a heterosexual woman, so often it is the woman who bends her sexuality, finding herself inside of another woman. (No Pun intended) Where “Their Private Arrangement,” is well written and interesting, it is not great, it just leaves me intrigued and looking forward to reading, “The Harlot.”
