Review of Jennifer Blake’s Seduced by Grace
★★★★ A romance novel unlike any I’ve read, and I’ve read MANY. Jennifer Blake dazzled me with her creativity with this very unique “what if” premise. What first surprised me was the relationship between hero and heroine. I thought, after reading the first chapter, that heroine Lady Marguerite was meeting the infamous Golden Knight for […]

Since all of us are dying to take a #roadtrip I thought I'd recap on my adventure to Briarcliff Manor and Sleepy Hollow. It was exciting it was to see the setting that inspired the Rabourn Theater Series up close and personal!http://jessicalauryn.com/2020/05/06/a...

Inspiration comes from many sources. But it is when I write freely, without guidelines or restrictions, when I am at my most creative.http://jessicalauryn.com/2019/11/13/s...

Did you miss my workshop on Editing and Pacing this weekend? I've uploaded it on youtube so it isn't too late to attend!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPOmR...
I’m excited to be participating in the Easton Book Festival this weekend! Having spent much of last year planning my wedding, it’s been a long time since I’ve been a part of a big author event and this one won’t disappoint! Over 200 authors will be there, doing readings and book signings, hosting workshops and participating in panel discussions. I’m especially honored, as I’ll be doing a reading from A Sultry Performance!Here's a taste of what's to come...
The cloud of blue smoke, emanating from the stage at the far end of the room, was a presence all its own. The mist was flashy—vibrant, exotic. It showcased the very prominent display taking place within its epicenter, an assembly of the most provocative dancers in all of Briarcliff Manor.
The seven long-legged women were dressed in identical ensembles, which did little to cover their breasts, rears or any other portion of their voluptuous figures. All but one stood at almost the exact same height, and each wore a pair of translucent high heels that caught the neon glow of the stage lights below. Drawn like moths to the enticement of their flame, the men seated around the room were all silent, many of them barely breathing as the blast of house music quickened the beat of their already-racing hearts. Among them, polishing off what had to be his fifth drink, Chris Gordon sat, staring at the woman in the center of the group, unable to take his eyes away.

Determining whether her abductor is actually her lover may be Alicia Coleman’s only chance of keeping her attacker from coming after her a second time...
♫ Currently # 3 on the BookStrand Publishing Bestsellers List!! ♫
On the heels of a major performance theater actress Alicia Coleman is attacked in an alleyway. She is struck over the head with a pistol and the blow causes her to lose her memory. Injured and afraid, Alicia struggles to remember the details of her life. The only person who appears to know who she is, is her presumed abductor, a man she fears may also be her attacker.
In the midst of several failed attempts to escape, Alicia comes to know the man whose home she awoke in and realizes that the two of them share a complicated past. Though Nick refuses to tell her much beyond her first name, a series of dreams, in which she and he are sharing a lot more than the second story of a secluded mansion, cause Alicia to suspect the most outrageous of possibilities—that the man holding her prisoner may actually be her lover. Surrounding threats, including that of a midnight intruder, cause Alicia to realize that proving her theory true may be her only chance of keeping her attacker from coming after her a second time.
