Lonely Rhys is too busy with his hill farm to take holidays, but when he finds a strange girl asleep in his barn, he embarks on a different kind of holiday - from real life.
In their intense little bubble of pleasure and freedom, neither of them wants to be the one to break the spell until, one day, external forces intervene and they are forced to discover exactly who they are - and what they want.
I am Justine Elyot. I love to write erotica and erotic romance. Elements you are likely to find in my work include: moustachioed melodrama villains, whips, wisecracks, knights in tarnished armour, damsels under duress, lovers, leather, aquiline features, references to popular songs. I massively overuse qualifiers like ‘really’, ‘quite’, ‘actually’ etc. and can’t resist the temptation to substitute long words for ‘said’. Reviewers either rave or cringe, with very little middle reactive ground (insert Marmite cliche here). Which will you do?
I really enjoyed this easy read erotic romance. Great characters who were a little different from the norm. Hot sex and a vibrant setting for all their raunchy interludes and the twists and turns of the story.
Ask No Questions is an erotic romance novella by Justine Elyot. Often known for her kinky BDSM stories, this was something a little different from Justine. This novella is still very hot, don’t get me wrong, but the sex is vanilla – if you can call sex in a tractor vanilla! This is definitely not a bad thing, though, just a variation on what I’ve read in Justine’s other books.
This is the story of Rhys, a Welsh hill farmer. He’s fairly new to the farming life, having made the decision to leave his old existence behind and live a very isolated life, for the most part cut off from the world around him. He’s got his dog for company, but only sees people when he heads out to the shops or the farmers’ market.
That is, until he finds a woman in his barn on a horrible rainy day. She’s clearly darted in there for protection from the elements and has fallen asleep. Rhys is immediately enthralled by her – her beauty, seeming innocence, and the tiny hot pants she wears.
When the girl wakes, she won’t tell Rhys anything except for her name. Not where she’s from, why she was on his farm, where was going… nothing. Instead of pushing, Rhys allows her to stay a while, realising that he doesn’t particularly want to talk about his past, either. The two of them are clearly attracted to one another, and as the tension grows, they fall into a kind of trance where all that matters is the here and now.
They hardly know each other, but somehow it doesn’t matter. What follows is a very sweet, yet sensual story of two people taking solace in each other and ignoring the rest of the world and the pain it brings. There’s sex in a tractor, lots of laughs and a real sense that, every now and again, it would be great to live that kind of existence. Of course, real life intrudes in the end, but still…
As I said before, this is something gentler, sweeter from Justine Elyot, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s a lovely, well-written story with a hunky hero and lots of hot sex and a good fun story – what’s not to like? Well done, Ms. Elyot.
Ask no questions, when you stumble upon a handsome shepherd with many hidden talents!!! You will regret your choice of leading the life of a city girl... Farm life is not just full with the mind-numbing tasks of mowing the grass, dipping and shearing the sheep, making silage and cheese...there is still a lot of time to spend with other more breathtaking activities... Since this book is erotica, I will refrain from getting into further details about the activities I am hinting at.
At half through the book, though it was a sweet romance, there was not much plot. But be patient, it picks up from there. Not a bad story, though I found the ending to be a little weak. Still, glad I read it!
This one had a really promising beginning with a reclusive hero but went pear-shaped midway. There is also a sex scene in a tractor. That was a first for me.
