A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon

Rooksgrave Manor’s protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther’s new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down. But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn’t all that’s threatening Esther’s new position. Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist.

The cartoon Sarah refered to is called The Harkness Test, and it's a reference to Dr. Although no one mentioned on the episode, here is the single greatest monster explanation ever seen on twitter. Check it out!Īlthough there is lots of crossover with paranormal or alien, Jenny defines monsters as: creatures who don’t shift into humans, you’d definitely scream if you saw them running down the street, but human enough to be able to bang.

Her first romance, His Leading Lady, was just released, ( Jen did the final developmental edit!) and she just started the Bonkers Romance podcast with Melody from the Heaving Bosoms podcast.
