Ellie Jones on Smashwords

Tell Me A Story

Arousing Amelia by Ellie Jones is at last available on Smashwords. Ellie Jones has been published on Kindle for quite some time, but not everyone has a Kindle.

Other E readers such as Sony, Apple, Kobo, Nook, etc, are VERY popular, and this can be a problem if a writer limits their market outlet to Amazon Kindle. The one answer for writers is to publish through Smashwords and have their work listed in the premium catalogue for maximum exposure.

Arousing Amelia by Ellie Jones

Frustration. Power. Volatile passion. A potent mix ready to spill over.

Amelia is a young widow starved of affection. Karl, a gorgeous hunk, has recently been dumped. The new friendship releases volatile passions as they are drawn together. However, as Karl discovers, there is far more to Amelia than just a sexy lady.

 Review by: Brad Cal on Nov. 04, 2012 :
Well written and hot! That there was a twist at the end was predictable, I expected it, but was totally surprised that it wasn't the one I expected. Well done!

An intriguing mystery. A heart-warming story. A sizzling liaison

Mrs Joanne Beech says - "What a wonderful book, I just couldn't put it down. Very raunchy… "

Without Reproach by Ellie Jones -
Jenny freaks out when she finds a painting of herself in the entrance to the villa - totally naked. Spanish artist, Juan Garcia left the enormous villa to her in his Will, which is gross. She is not related to him, has never heard of him, never met him, and certainly never been to this villa before... So why does she recognize things?

Mrs Maureen Elizabeth Moss says - "Forbidden passion, mystery and intrigue - this story has them all. Have you ever desired someone you really don't like? Set in the magnificent hills of the northern Costa Blanca, this story covers a sweeping range of emotions. Intrigue, deception, disappointment, anger and passion - they are all here, simmering beneath a surface of self-control."

Second Chance Romance

Tell Me a Story - book review


Author - Asrai Devin
Title     - Second Chance Romance
Stars   - 3

Second Chance Romance:

Mandy is quite content balancing her life as a single mother with her job as a school teacher. However, her world is turned upside down when an old high school sweetheart connects with her via Facebook. Mandy decides on one, last date with Kip to put her memories to rest, but Kip isn't quite so eager to let go.



One of the big problems with this book is incorrect grammar... and punctuation is sometimes non-existent. However, that being said, the storyline is just about likeable enough to overlook them - providing you are the forgiving sort.

Second Chance Romance is a basic boy meets girl, boy leaves town, grown man returns but is still in love with woman. It can be a little corny, but sometimes corny is good. I think potentially, this is an entertaining story.


Be warned, Second Chance Romance contains explicit sexual scenes.

Gone Girl

Tell Me a Story

Author - Gillian Flynn
Title     - Gone Girl
Stars   - 5

Gone Girl:

On the anniversary of her wedding, Amy disappears. There are signs of a scuffle in the house, and her husband, Nick quickly becomes the main suspect.

The fact that Nick isn’t as open with the police as he should doesn’t help matters. As more evidence appears against him, Nick insists on his innocence. 

 

Gone Girl is a convoluted, psychological thriller. As disclosures unfurl, it becomes clear that the truth is far darker, more warped, and scarier than you can imagine.  

Gone Girl is well conceived, and the uncertainty doesn’t waver for a single page. Gone Girl one of those books where the ending doesn’t just come, it perforates your head and won’t leave you alone.

Well worth a read

Google is Sued

Tell Me a Story

Google is potentially up for $2 billion in compensation for scanning millions of university library books without seeking permission. The Authors Guild claim is a long-running lawsuit that is testing the U.S. copyright law to the limit.

Back in 2004, Google persuaded several universities to scan their libraries, without the  author's permission, and to make extracts of those books available online via Google’s search engine.

Google was consequently sued by individual writers, publishers and the Authors Guild. A litigation that has had a tortured history, resulted in a settlement that a federal judge rejected last year.

The fight is back on.

The guild is now seeking a minimum of $750 in copyright damages for each piece of work that has been infringed. Yay!
I wonder if mine have been infringed??? I never thought to look.

The moral here is one that serious writers the world over are only too aware of - DON’T PLAGIARIZE - even if you are big and powerful. Someone somewhere is bound to catch you out...

Scent of Woman - Ellie Jones

Tell Me a Story
An erotic romance from Ellie Jones of Stoke on Trent - Scent of Woman.

Author - Ellie Jones

Title     - Scent of Woman

Stars   - 5

Scent of Woman:

Since her husband died, Debbie hasn’t had many men, but it doesn't mean she's ready to be put out to pasture. For much of her adult life she's put her needs on back burner, in order to raise Samantha. Things need to change.

When Elliot, wafts into her life, Debbie closes her eyes to her immediate attraction to the younger man. He has a reputation for fending off women who chase him, so what chance does she stand.

Once again an exciting read from Ellie Jones.  

Scent Of Woman is a story that will prove popular amongst adult women everywhere. If Fifty Shades of Grey is 'Mummy Porn', then Scent Of Woman is 'Lady Porn'. This is reading for adults with a discerning nature.

The characters of Scent Of Woman come across as genuine, the dialogue authentic, and the descriptive work realistic. The pace of the story is fast, the ending heart-warming, and the content cannot be hotter. This is one sexy story. What more can be asked?

Gone Girl

Tell Me a Story - Book Review

 Author - Gillian Flynn

Title      - Gone Girl

Stars    - 4

Gone Girl:

On Nick and Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary she disappears from their home on the Mississippi River. Passages from Amy's diary reveal she could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter, but is he really a killer?
   With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

   

 

In Gone Girl, the characters unfold, bit by bit, and in unexpected ways, that keep you reading. The question is generally, "Can we ever really know another human being?" This book actually probes further and we find ourselves asking, "Can we ever really know ourselves. What are we capable of? The way the story ends clinches what a sickening liaison Nick and Amy had.

A book well worth reading... But be aware that Gone Girl contains coarse language as well as violence and sexual content.

Title     - Enemies and Playmates

Stars   - 4

Enemies and Playmates:

Lauren’s family preserves a grand pretence that contradicts their actual lives. Alex, Lauren's father, keeps a tight rein on his family through physical abuse, manipulation, and fanatical control. Because of this, Lauren doesn't believe she could ever trust a man, much less fall in love with one.

Stolen Prey

Tell Me a Story - book review

Author - John Sandford

Title     - Stolen Prey

Stars   - 5

Stolen Prey:

Lucas has attended numerous murder scenes. This is one of the nastiest. A whole family has been killed, including the dogs.

Something about the incident nudges at Lucas’s cop instincts. It reminds him of the kind of retribution he’s seen in drug killings. However, this is a fashionable part town, and the husband a vice president of a bank. It just doesn’t seem to fit.

Stolen Prey is a disturbing murder-mystery that has been very skilfully composed. The storyline is full of unpredictable action. The dialogue is first-class, while central characters spring to life in a nerve-wracking thriller that has you hankering for more.

Stolen Prey is so well written and compelling that it is disappointing to see the story come to an end. A must-read.
