I'm happy to say that I was asked by Jemima to read and review this short tale.
"Broken" is a very powerful story of abuse, and overcoming that abuse. It was hard for me to read at first. My heart broke with the pain of the main character, but the triumph at the end had me cheering for her.
The writing is fantastic, though I don't know the song the character mentions as being stuck in her head. I also don't know what "seven stone" would be in pounds, since I'm not familiar with European measuremen...more

I was very fortunate a few days ago to be asked by Jemima Valentino if I would mind doing a review on her newest book out, Broken.
Well I say newest, I had a copy of it from when I first met Jemima on here and did a review for her book, His Elle and it was on my list of “To Read for Pleasure” so it came to a total shock when she said she had rewritten it and fleshed it out more.
So very excitedly, I went and downloaded a copy of Broken from Smashwords and the thing that fir...more

I wrote it, so obviously I think it's ace! :-)
I actually had a hard time writing this particular short story, as it is based on real life events and incorporates scenes that actually happened. However, once a quarter, I shall be giving 10% of the profit that this story makes through it's sales on Amazon and other digital platforms, to a charity in the UK that supports victims of domestic violence, and their families.

I am a new writer, living in the UK with my husband, two gorgeous girls, a couple of cats and a dog named Eddie. When I first told my husband in early 2009 that I had written a book, and the genre was BDSM erotica, he went silent for a few moments, stared at me for a few moments longer, and then said, "I always expected you to write a book, so good for you." I don't believe I have ever held my bre...more
