As many of you guessed, I am a fan of M.J. Rose’s The Reincarnationist series! I recently read Seduction which was a wonderfully intriguing historic fiction novel full of suspense and the occult! I loved both the book and Rose’s storytelling style. I know she also writes a more modern erotic novel series known as the Butterfield Institute series which Lip Service is also part of! If you are interested in erotic lit and are a fan of good story telling, the you should pick up a copy of Lip Service for your Kindle today! For just $0.99 you can’t go wrong!
A sizzling and sensual journey into an erotic world few women dare to enter . . . On the surface, Julia Sterling’s life seems blessed. Married to a renowned psychiatrist and living on Manhattan’s tony Upper East Side, Julia deeply loves her stepson and is forging a career as a journalist.
When a writing job exposes her to the world of phone sex, Julia gets a glimpse into a world that stirs her erotic fantasies but threatens her carefully constructed reality. As she explores her emotional and sexual connections to the men she knows and several she will never meet, she confronts evil, perversity, and her own long-forgotten passions.
Tracing the currents of desire, illusion, and psychological manipulation, Lip Service is an astonishingly vivid journey into one woman’s inner life. At the same time, this electrifying thriller grips the reader as it blurs the lines between fantasy and reality and builds toward a shattering climax.
M.J. ROSE is the international bestselling author of twelve novels, one of which (The Reincarnationist) was the basis of the television series Past Lives. She is a founding board member of International Thriller Writers and the founder of the first marketing company for authors: AuthorBuzz.com. She lives in Greenwich, Connecticut.
As the Victorian era transition into the ‘modern’ era, women were finally discovering that sex and sexuality could be for their enjoyment, not just a wifely duty performed for the pleasure of their husbands.
We see evidence of this shift with the rise of female authorship. Many women started writing real books for women about women and things women cared about or longed for. One of the best known authors of this time was Edith Wharton.
Wharton wrote popular and influential novels such a The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocents that addressed issues of class (notably the upper class), manners, and of course love and sexual desire.
Like many female authors before her, Wharton had a story all of her own…..a story which author Jennie Fields explores in her historical fiction novel, based on a the true life story of Edith Wharton, The Age of Desire.

One country. One faith. One crown. That was the vision of Isabella I of Castile and her husband King Ferdinand of Aragon.
Together they reigned for over thirty years, working tirelessly to unite a country that was constantly at civil war.
We first meet Isabella at her humble beginnings. Her father the King of Castile has just died and his son from his first marriage, Enrique, is to inherit the thrown.
Enrique and his advisers quickly remove Isabella, her brother Alfonso, and her mother from court.
They are given a small country house with little to no resources and are basically forgotten about. Until one day when Enrique finally has an heir. To celebrate the birth of his daughter, Joanna, Enrique invites both Isabella and Alfonso to court to stand as supporters.
Are you looking for something that will add a little splash of sexy to your summer reading? Well why not pick up this sizzling historic romance this summer?
Author Killian McRae’s novel A Love By Any Measure has it all. Love, lust, and history.
This is very much an adult Cinderella tale of love and romance….ALBAM is a fiery romance with an ending you don’t see coming and will surprise you. A beautiful story of love which is strong enough to bring light even to the darkest and unfortunate circumstances life has to offer.
The one thing that I struggled with when I reviewed the novel was the cover design. I wasn’t quite sure that if I saw the book on the shelf that it would grab my interest. but with this new cover design, how could you miss it?!
If you haven’t added A Love By Any Measure to your TBR list be sure to do so!
