A Fine Profession & A Fine Pursuit (Chambermaid Series) - Sarah Michelle Lynch

After purchasing tickets to the March 2014 Orchard Book Club Author Event I picked some authors at random to read and get to know,

This first one I randomly chose was Sarah Michelle Lynch,

I am so damn well pleased I picked her books up and read them. I even now possess a shiny new and SIGNED copy of A fine Pursuit. (waves hands in the air!).

Her books are amazing and she's the loveliest lady ever in real life. Im looking forward to reading and reviewing her other books in the future.

A Fine Profession Synopsis 


Charlotte “Lottie” Taylor survived childhood cancer and then spent years feeling at odds with who she was and where her life was heading. A chambermaid at a run-of-the-mill hotel chain, she found escape in her imagination and eventually discovered expression in a sideline dominating men.

She spent nights disciplining her “initiates” and delivering a service their wives often ordered on their behalf. What she didn’t expect was to fall in love when a chance encounter put her in the arms of Noah Yeardley, a man with a history as interesting as her own. The only man to ever dominate Lottie, together they explored their fantasies.

Yet the fantasy broke down and Lottie was forced to revisit past issues.

Charlotte’s erotic tale is one of sexual awakening and self fulfilment—a human story of making mistakes, learning to love yourself and finding true love with another.

A Fine Pursuit Synopsis

In the sequel to A Fine Profession…

They were two souls wandering aimlessly until they met; their collision instant, categorical and unforgettable. Yet, their powerful sexual chemistry was still not enough to bind them together. Lottie provided her version of the story, now Noah gives us his…

Noah Yeardley, the inimitable investment banker who captured the Chambermaid's heart, is a man misunderstood and wronged. With their love story circulating, he feels raw and useless. As he comes to terms with the death of his father and all that passed on with him, he knows The Pursuit is something he has a fine grasp of ‒ and is determined to do whatever it takes to bring back the only woman to truly sink herself into his heart.

When he is presented with a second chance, a long summer of hot dream dates, devastating confessions and shocking revelations await – but is the fantasy about to become a reality, or will Noah's past make it impossible for him to forge a new life with Charlotte?

Rachel's Review

Honestly? I loved these books. (At the afore mentioned Author Event I made a beeline to Sarah's table to tell her so!)

These are not your standard erotica books. They've got a superb and thought provoking story lines.

I loved both central characters very much and the books explore both their personalities in ways no other erotic book would.

The writing is fantastic and great detail was paid to each character, even the sub characters. I love that A Fine Profession was written from Charlotte's POV and A Fine Pursuit from Noah's. (PS There's nothing I've said there that isn't in the synopsis so no spoiler).

I also loved that these books were local to me, In fact I'm just 6 miles from the village the character grew up in and drive through it regularly.

A shocking, fabulous, different (very), well-written and addictive read.

Looking forward to reading more from SML.
