About the author

5 books66 followersNow a bit about me!
Sorry but I’m not half as interesting as my characters.
But here goes.
I grew up in the county of Hampshire, in southern England. I was incredibly lucky in that my childhood was with the most amazing parents you could wish for. I wanted to be a dancer, nothing more, nothing less and as an only child I enjoyed dancing lessons that I think taught me a little discipline or maybe the tenacity to finish what I start.
I have a son who is my pride and joy and to me he’s pretty darn perfect, but DON’T tell him that! I live with my partner and our cat, who is spoiled rotten and that often leads to him thinking he rules the house! The cat, that is, not my partner.
I was always told that I had a somewhat fanciful imagination and thank God for that! So here I am doing something I love, writing. I have had many jobs, doing all sorts of things you do to make ends meet and fell into writing after copious amount of reading and wanting to escape the daily grind and needing to get these stories out of my head.
I have a love for all things paranormal and the erotic and wanted to incorporate the two.
I hope you enjoy my Innocence and Eternal series as much as I have writing them.
I’d love to hear from you, I don’t bite… well I do sometimes but only if you ask me nicely.

The First book in this series, Innocence Lost, grabbed me and pulled me under. I couldn’t wait to read the second one. And it did not disappoint.Shioban's captivity continues and it gets more intense and feelings start to become evident between the people involved. She becomes confused because she loves Blake to no end but she is also falling for Jarryd, the one send by Blake to protect her.. She tries to keep her spirits high and not to give up. You definitely get lost in the mindf**k that is Shioban’s and Blake’s life. We have Monique, the crazy b***h that captures Shioban and holds her in the Chateau. We also have Anthony, the not quite right in the head, brother of Blake, who was thought to be dead …We have Xandrella and Jarryd who are send to make sure that she survives and not lose herself. So many characters, so many personalities, and they all come together so nicely. You feel what they feel. I cant even tell you how many times my kindle almost landed in the wall, but I don’t want to give you any spoilers so you will need to read it to find out why.I like how the innocence of Shioban is maintained even as she is finding her sexuality in this unconventional way.All I will say is that the undying, love between Blake and Shioban, and Jarryd as well, will stay with me for a long time to comeThe story is very well written and the grammar and spelling is excellent.I am definitely looking forward to seeing more from Helen Johnston in the near future. I would absolutely recommend this series to all paranormal and Erotica fans !

Si is till lurching between pleasure and pain inflicted by Monique, enjoying some of it way more than she probably should. Blake continues to suffer the same dilemmas and Jarryd is a very willing, okay, let's call him her 'protector'. If you liked the recipe in the first book (and you do have to read these in order), you'll certainly have nothing to complain about.
In the preface of book I, Lost, the old gipsy said, 'Be warned, your heart will break into a million stabbing pieces before she belongs to you fully.' I took this as a hint that this story will ultimately have a happy (as happy as it gets with the undead) ending. Can't wait to see.

I am a huge fan of book one so being able to read book two so quickly was amazing.
Its sexy, loving, shocking, heart breaking and addictive.
Helen has done it again with her ability to take what has become ordinary in fiction and take it to a completely new and exciting level.
Fans of the first book should definitely continue on Blake and Si's journey in book 2.

Omg continuing on the story has been amazing, Siobhan has been through hell because of Monique but retribution is just around the corner!!
Blake isn't going to just sit there while his Queen is in danger ....he is the most powerful in their world.
I literally couldn't put this down and actually cried at a part of it, I really didn't expect that to happen I had high hopes.
This will entice you, and pull you along on the journey with all the characters so much so you will feel like you're part of their world too.

More dark spice with Vampires! At this point I absolutely fell in love with Jarryd and the way he looked after Siobhan! Just a brilliant book, be warned of the plot twist at the end though, damn near cried about it!

"Innocence Reclaimed" is the second in this series that follows Siobhan's story. Siobhan is in love with the Vampire Blake but has been captured by the evil Monique who is determined to turn her as part of a massive plot to get revenge against Blake. In the meantime Monique is holding her hostage as part of some BDSM club and she is being used in whatever way they say. Protected by two of Blake's closest allies and magic while Blake puts his plan into action, Siobhan explores her sexuality and sensuality as she experiences a range of acts.
Siobhan is a woman conflicted and torn between her love and loyalty to Blake and the feelings she has developed for her protector Jarryd. It is Jarryd, through his protection, that is helping her to explore and experience her sexuality. It is Jarryd that is there all the time for her and she is in a constant panic that this may turn Blake away from her.
Blake is a vampire of determination and incredible patience, waiting until the absolute best time to rescue Siobhan but making sure that she always protected until he can get to her. The torment he must have gone through, only seeing her on the DVDs sent to him by Monique must have been soul destroying. But this just stokes his desire for revenge even more.
So this was a story about awakening and rescuing the damsel in distress from the evil Queen. Let me say this, there were certainly lots of really hawt scenes in the Club. However, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, there were too many and they sometimes detracted from the story. The plot would be moving along but would be constantly interrupted with these scenes that seemed to go on for a long time. I loved Siobhan's strength, courage and how she came to better understand herself. I loved Blake's determination and carefully thought out plan to get Siobhan back. I loved the way that Jarryd looked out for Siobhan and I felt sorry for the fact that he probably wasn't going to end up the lucky one. It was a great read and a great story.

And so the Smut Fest continues ❤️🔥
This story picks up directly after book 1, with Siobhan still recovering from her ordeal at the hands of Father Anthony (Blake's long-lost brother)
As Siobhán nervously awaits Blake's promised rescue, she contemplates her growing feelings for Jarryd and the confusion of feeling in love with 2 men.
I love this dark, taboo erotica story and can't wait to see how it all plays out in book 3 😁
If you loved Hunting Adeline, you will definitely enjoy this series and probably need as much therapy as I do.
Come join me on the dark side 😈

Wow! This was one excitingly, hot read!! After reading the first story in this series and then diving into this one, I wasn't sure what to expect in this book. Boy was this one of those reads where you curse yourself when you get interrupted and have to put it down. When I did put it down, I kept thinking about it and where it was taking me.
This story begins where the first story ended. Siohban (heroine) was being held captive by Monique and forced to perform sexual acts with many different people, while the love of her life (Blake) is forced to wait patiently and watch her every move looking for the perfect moment to attack. The meeting of the Elders is fast approaching and Blake must decide his best course of action to retrieve his love. Meanwhile, we get to learn more about the hunky Jarryd (sigh) and the extremely strong Xandrella.
I feel like Helen grabbed both of my hands in the beginning of this story, throwing me right in the chateau with Si, and placed me right in the middle of all these hot vampires making me one of their whores. I felt like I was experiencing everything right along with Si. There is plenty of hot, sexy scenes throughout this book. After reading some, I found myself looking around for my husband, it was that hot! Helen makes you want to be a part of this story and experience everything right along with the characters. I can't wait to read the next installment to see how this amazing story ends. If you are not a fan of vampire or paranormal stories, you will be after you read Helen's books.

The second in the series, this picks up where the first ended, I enjoyed this instalment, it is again very erotic. Mostly with Jarryd again as there is a big chunk of the book still with Si captive, so they do spend a lot of time together and again it is sexual as she is a sex slave.
But I think for me, (now I know this goes against the grain,) I did skip some sex scenes in the beginning as they were plentiful and I was so interested in getting to the fighting :-) and the return of Blake, I would have maybe liked to hear from Blake and how he was feeling or planning her rescue and not just have Si and Jarryd's ongoing situation, but this is my opinion and preference.
The rescue and aftermath kicked in and I enjoyed this thoroughly, Vampires fighting for Love!!
Looking forward to the next book, it isn't a cliffhanger that you have to be worried about, but more something that needs sorting!! Who did it?

Innocence Reclaimed is the second book in the Journey of Innocence Series. Although this uis typically not the type of book that I would normally read there were a lot of parts that i really, really loved and some I did not. i did not read the first book, but their was enough back story that I was able to understand. In this book Siobhan is still in the grips of Monique who is pretty darn evil and tried her hardest to sink her teeth into Siobhan and turn her. Jarryd became Siobhan's protector while she was held captive and he tried to keep everyone away from her as much as he could. Siobhan is so thankful for Jarryd being by her side and protecting her that she starts to fall for him while she is waiting to be rescued by her true love Blake. If you are looking for an Dark erotic paranormal book then this is a series you will love.

Well let's see how I want to word this review...Hmmm....ok here goes...OMG, WTH, ARE YOU KIDDING ME, SHE DID WHAT, OH LORDLY BE, HUBBA HUBBA, NOOOO, AND I EVEN SWORE AT THE AUTHOR NUMEROUS TIMES.. There, this about sums up one of the most eroticly different kind of paranormal love story, grabs you and will definitely make you blush books I have had the pleasure of reading. I am not giving one spoiler to this book, you HAVE TO READ THIS!!!
This is the second book of her series, Journey Of Innocence. Her first one is Innocence Lost and I highly recommend you read that one before book 2. It will help you understand what leads up to Drake and Si's story, and what an evil, evil person Monique is.
Loved this book and the characters..What a fascinating mind Helen Johnston has..
