Nicola Cornick*, the popular Harlequin M& B Historical author says
about Jean’s debut novel.
‘Cutlasses and Caresses transports you into the lush, hot and steamy
world of 17th century Port Royal. The unusual background is evoked with
such a powerful atmosphere that you can almost touch and taste it. I loved
the depth of the characters. Prudence is a wonderful heroine, strong and
lovable. Nathan is a hero to die for, sexy, honorable and compelling and
every encounter between him and Prudence hums with sensual tension. There
is a marvelous cast of secondary characters. For swashbuckling adventure
and sensual romance Cutlasses and Caresses can’t be bettered.’
*Nicola has written Seventeen other Regency Historicals
for Harlequin Mills and Boon and three novellas, including the Blue Stocking
Brides and the Steepwood Scandal series.

What a Great Romp!!!!’ writes Janet Gover, Internationally
published short story author.
She continues: ‘I've just finished reading Cutlasses and Caresses.
All I can say is move over Pirates of the Caribbean! Prudence Stone isn't
having a good time. She has travelled half way around the world to find
that her feckless finance has absconded with her inheritance. She is kidnapped;
tricked into posing nude for a lecherous painter; she pretends to be a prostitute;
is trapped on an open boat on the high seas and finally stranded on a deserted
island. Despite all this, I wanted to be her. Mostly this was due to the
continuing presence of Nathan Frazer – a sort of seventeenth century
James Bond – as dangerous as he is delectable. Just the man I want
on my deserted island! Cutlasses and Caresses is romantic escapism of the
first order – exotic settings, historical adventure and a story that
races along. What more could a girl want? Well done Jean - I'm looking forward
to Midnight Marriage when it's released.’

Amanda Grange, author of Darcy’s Diary, describes Jean’s writing
as
"Sexy and passionate, full of adventure and romance."
