About the author

Justine Elyot

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 don't usually read much erotica, but wanted to read something in a genre I wouldn't usually read. The premise is quite interesting - a famous woman returns to her roots after a failed marriage - and the book is well written. Jenna is a likeable character, as is her surprise lodger, and their initial interactions are engaging. I'm just not so keen on all the graphic sex scenes! I'm no prude, but I guess I just prefer a little to be left to the imagination. 


I'm sure this book will be popular with fans of the genre, as there is a decent story and the book is well written. I'd consider reading another by this author because she writes in a way that brings the characters to life.

Likable storyline and characters a bit smutty..but forgettable too. Jenna and Jason seem happy together. 2 other books til their happy ending..
