edit data

Jay Vaughn lives just an hour ferry ride away from sunny Seattle. She recently left her way-too-soul-sucking software management job. She is currently pretending she's retired and is finally (finally!) dabbling in writing again.

Her favorite genres are sci-fi, fantasy, and M/M erotic romance. She discovered M/M quite by accident when she was writing a traditional fantasy novel, and one of her characters ended up in an all-male prison for a bit too long. Whoops!

Follow J. on Facebook (Jay Vaughn in Seattle), or drop her a line at jayvaughn@live.com. She’d love to hear from you.

Both the MCs have issues, but together they are better. I loved the setting for this story -- a small village off the beaten path in New Zealand. Even better, on the coast! This is a sweet romance between a (somewhat) washed up photographer and a (so ...more

This was an unexpected delight. Well, I can't say completely unexpected, because LA Witt, right? The blurb sucked me in with the remarkable premise, but I was expecting a lot more angst and a story that was hard to swallow. What I got was a sweet rom ...more

Just reread this story and enjoyed it immensely (again!). Brute is an unlikely hero, but hero he certainly is. Gray is also an endearing character. The romance is sweet (as are the MCs) and the side characters are generally interesting. The story kep ...more
