Story Behind The Book
I tried to fit all my favourite spots in London into a thrilling spy novel that would keep the reader breathless and keep the temperature HOT! Bonus in-jokes for fans of British comedy :-)
Reviews
"Chastity Flame is the beginning of a trilogy and is one thrill ride
after another and while there is tons of spicy sex, it does not detract
from the overall storyline. Debut novelist Ms. Kempe amazes me with her
wonderful writing talent. Chastity is the type of person I would want to
be on my side, boy, can she kick some serious butt! Damien is every
woman’s teacher fantasy come to life, complete with oozing sensuality
and a hot body. If the first book in the trilogy is this mind blowing, I
can only imagine how fantastic the other books will be; I cannot wait
to read another story about Chastity and the life she lives as a spy!"<br /><br />--Coffee Time Romance & More<br /><br />"Speaking of heat, this book is practically radiating steam. There are
lots of different things to chose from, Ms. Kempe doesn’t write the same
scene over and over, and even throws in some F/F love... If you like lots of
steamy variety and a thrill ride that keeps you on your toes, this book
is most definitely for you."<br />-- The Pagan & The Pen
