Amour in Avignon
Jennifer Ivy Walker
Contemporary Erotica
Adrift and lonely, Lily Greene travels to Provence to spend the summer with her aunt in the sunny south of France. In the vibrant city of Avignon, she meets Ludo and Auguste, two expert fencers who are also local actors performing in the upcoming Festival of Theater where they will present the classical tragedy, Cyrano de Bergerac.
When Lily joins their thespian troupe, portraying the lead female role, she discovers that real life mirrors the play they are rehearsing, for–just as Cyrano and Christian vie for Roxane– Ludo and Auguste become intense rivals for Lily.
Handsome as a Hollywood movie star, Auguste is used to women falling into his bed. But when Lily spurns his amorous advances, drawn instead to the enigmatic Ludo, jealousy drives Auguste to seek revenge.
Will tragedy strike with a cruel twist of fate? Or will love triumph with Amour in Avignon?
Uncaged Review: This novella was a quick read for me, and what I like about this author when she writes anything, including an erotica, she includes a nice storyline with it that is still well researched. Many times with erotica, I’ve found the storyline to be lackluster and it’s only about the sex, but this book has a good story behind it that includes a bit of drama along with the hot romance.
Lily goes to France to stay with her Aunt after a divorce and meets both Auguste and Ludo who are actors and construction workers. Auguste is a handsome creep, but Lily has an almost instant connection with Ludo, who is the nephew of the man that her Aunt is seeing.
This story brings in the sights and backdrop well of Avignon, and it’s a short hot read for whenever you need a bit of romance but don’t want to commit to a full length. Nice writing, characters that are easy to like, and a nice HEA in the end. Reviewed by Cyrene
