edit data

Jules Starbrook is an Australian contemporary romance author writing emotional, age-gap slow-burn love stories set in England and steeped in yearning, quiet devotion, and a touch of nerdy charm. Her novels feature introspective heroines searching for identity and belonging, and brooding gentlemen who fall in love long before they allow themselves to admit it—loving her in silence even as they resist the inevitable.

Her debut novel Madly, Deeply, Always, inspired by Sense and Sensibility’s Brandon and Marianne, is the perfect rainy-day comfort read: gentle, immersive, and designed to leave a slow-burn ache that lingers long after the final page.

New Book: After the Rain - A Colonel Brandon × Marianne Story

I've completed a novella called After the Rain!

It's a historical romance fanfiction based on a Colonel Brandon × Marianne Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility and is separate to my debut novel (Madly Deeply Always )

***Everyone remembers the rain. Fewer linger in what follows.***

This is for readers who adored Alan Rickman's Brandon from the 1995 film and never stopped thinking about the quiet devoti Read more of this blog post »
