About this author

CJ Roberts is an independent writer. She favors dark and erotic stories with taboo twists and her work has been called both sexy and disturbing in the same sentence.

She was born and raised in Southern California. Following high school, she joined the U.S. Air Force in 1998, served ten years and traveled the world. Her favorite part of traveling is seeking out the seedy underbelly of the city.

She is married to an amazing and talented man who never stops impressing her; they have one beautiful daughter.

Her debut novel, Captive in the Dark (The Dark Duet, Book 1), is available in ebook and paperback. And will be followed up with Seduced in the Dark (The Dark Duet, Book 2) in September of 2012.

She writes short stories under the name Jennife...more

Thanks for being so twisted & creating this captive series, wish I could pick your brain over coffee, bet you're just filled with great ideas :) Can't wait for your next book, whatever it is I know it'll be awesome!

I don't know, I still think he kept a lot of his edge. It's just now it's all consensual which is a good thing. I liked that we got to see his vulnerable side, his fear of losing Livvie, etc. This made me see him as human with feelings, not the monster he was in Captive in the Dark.

Anyway, Bravo! I loved the entire series. It was very dark and intense but captivating for sure.

It's been interesting for sure. Some are saying Epi is their fave because Caleb is so different. Others couldn't get behind it for the same reason. Strangely, I think BOTH are true.


Krissy P (Kris) This is a fantastic well-written series. I loved Caleb's POV. I have to say, I was not a fan of him at all until Epilogue. I had mixed feelings of hate and sympathy where he is concerned but I think his POV helped me love him in the end.

Mercy Cortez Hi C.J.

I just wanted to thank you, I have read books that claim to be like yours but they don't have the same dynamic that you wrote for Caleb and Livvie. The only book to ever come close was Held by Kimberley A. Bettes and that is in no way a love story and so I will leave the tortured love to you.

Your series is so original and your writing is superb; you inspire me as a writer and I think you should be so proud of yourself.

Thank you for taking your time and speaking to fans (AKA Calebs Kittens) it means the world.

Please never stop writing; because I for one will never stop reading what you have to write.

Motherofpearl I've been reading many erotic romance books and I just want to say your books (Dark Duet series) are still my number one! Your writing style still my favorite writing style. I think most writers do not give enough attention to the coherence of the story and your Dark Duet series is so important because there is coherence in the story which makes it look like real. Coherence and balances are two main important features which make a good story better. Without these, even though you have a good starting point, the book becomes unreal, ridiculous and meaningless.

So, I want to thank you for your writing style. :)

Yara I had this question for a while now, livvie when she chose the name Sophia Cole. The last name was it because of Caleb ?! His real name was James Cole, does she know that he's Vladek’s son ?!

It will be on Amazon, Smashwords, and B&N on the 15th. The rest of the channels will have to aggregate from Smashwords and can a while. :/ The good news is, you can use the epub from Smashwords to read on your ipad etc.

Jxxx Thanks for the friendship! :) I finished your books, CITD & SITD last week and still find myself thinking about them. The characters and the story draw you in; it is dark, gritty and uncomfortable but just so fabulously written. I love stories that make you feel strong emotions and yours certainly did that. Sorry to gush! lol, but it's the truth! I can't wait to read the Epilogue and the Dark Duet Spin off! I'm sure we're all in for another treat! :)

I just want you to know that your books would be my first choice in the Romance and Goodreads Author categories. Your Captive in the Dark series was very powerful and I am still thinking about it months after finishing it.


Sandovita :( Why on earth can't I vote for you here? :(

It says this: "That book is ineligible. Please try again! has no original publication year set."

:( I think you deserve to win something...
