Foreign Affairs

by Jacqueline George

What happens when a book of sexy romantic stories is hauled before Priscilla and her committee of censors? Will she be able to pin down the author Trehearne and get his book banned? The trouble is-the stories are too exciting. Everyone wants to hear more of Trehearne and his disreputable past.  

Priscilla will fight tooth and nail to stop the public from reading this book. It is just too sexy... too uncomfortable for an educated woman. Although Trehearne will not admit to it, she is convinced that most of the book is an autobiography, and he actually met those strange people and did those decadent things.

She does not understand how he could write about them or why he did it in the first place.

But she intends to find out.

About the author

Jacqueline lives in the far north of Queensland, Australia, on the shores of the Coral Sea. She has a house built for the tropical climate - on tall stilts and with walls that open to let the breeze blow through.

She lives with her husband who is easily managed, and her marmalade cat Rudy who definitely isn't.

Jacqueline writes romantic stories because she is an unrepentant romantic at heart. But she also loves travelling to interesting places and meeting new people, and they find a place in her stories too.

When she is not writing, she is kept busy by her garden which is still maturing. Right now her coconut trees look young and scrappy, but come back in five years and they will be towering over the house.

And what could be more romantic than a coconut palm?

I could not keep my eyes off the book. It is mind-blowing. The author takes you through such an exciting journey of sex, passion, hidden fantasies and much more. Each chapter is a different erotic story that will trigger your mind and will make you want to read more and more. Honestly it is hard to put down. And like me, you may find more than one of your erotic fantasies coming true.

I just finished reading Jacqueline's book, Foreign Affairs. This novel is fantastic, very hot and very literate. It is a veritable travelogue of sex as the title indicates. It revolves around a collection of short stories placed in exotic locations by an English writer, John Trehearne. They are being read at a censorship review proceeding and narrative between the stories develops John's character and his romantic opposite, Priscilla. Although, like most romances, the end of the novel is predictable the short stories often have trick endings with implied meanings keeping everything spicy. Several characters appear in more than one story and Trehearne admits that they are somewhat autobiographical. This links the stories right into the big picture, one of the characters even sent a letter addressing the censorship proceedings. Because of this related story-within-a-story technique, Foreign Affairs provides a richness of thought not often found in spicy romances. It's a red hot read and a novel that will stick in the back of your mind.

This to me was a series of short PWP stories, connected by a little interaction between the two MC's. Nothing appealed to me at all about this novel... I struggled to read it all.
