While attempting to put on a good face for her first London Season, Lady Arabella Pierrepont goes home each night to endure the raucous attention of her father's gaming partners. One evening, when Baron Pierrepont reaches a new low, offering his daughter's virginity to the next winner, Gabriel, Viscount Ashford, helps Arabella escape. He takes her to The Aphrodite Academy, where she is given three choices the respectable but dull life of a companion, a marriage well below her station in life, or training to become one of London's finest courtesans. Since she has taken men in dislike and would like nothing better than to drain their purses dry, she chooses the scandalous life. But none of the armor she has thrown up can protect her when the highest bidder for her services is Lord Ashford, the one man she considers a hero. Both must grow wiser and listen to their hearts before Belle can put the abuse she suffered behind her and Gabriel can shed the casual sexual practices of the so-called Regency gentleman.
Author's Note I think of The Aphrodite Academy series as "Regency Darkside," novellas that go beyond the usual Regency Historical to explore what might have happened to young women, from ladies to tavern wenches, for whom life was unkind—young women with no family or friends willing to help when their lives fall apart. In this series each girl will find The Aphrodite Academy, or it will find them. The headmistress is a widowed baroness, left in charge of a remarkable fortune by a husband whose proclivities were as eclectic as they were enthusiastic. She has, perhaps not surprisingly, barred all males from the grounds of the Academy, where she offers academic classes, arranges suitable positions for some of her students, and offers training in the fine arts of the courtesan to those who wish it.
The language is saucy, the sex occasionally graphic, but the stories are driven by character and plot, not sexual content.

Belle The Aphrodite Academy Book 1 edition by Blair Bancroft Romance eBooks Reviews
I have enjoyed Belle's story and that of Ashford's. Reading was light, entertaining, and sensual but, not in a in your face kinda of way. This book brings home choices women had to make during those times. Good read looking forward to next in series.
When Belle is rescued from her wretched and disturbing home by Gabriel, she little realizes the turn her life will take. From victim to courtesan. From powerless to powerful. It may be a way to survive, but it's not what her heart wants. Leave it to romance and a determined man to find the way.
I thought the book was cute. The ending was a bit rushed but I still enjoyed it.
