An erotic novella…
This is from the POV of my heroine, Lottie, who features in the Chambermaid series…
Lots of BDSM, outlandish scenerios, epic scenes, fantasies, I can’t begin to tell you…
One of the hardest tasks I have ever given myself…
Synopsis coming soon…
This is currently being edited and will be with you within a week…
I received this review (below) for Angel Avenue today and it blew me away. I don’t really know why to be honest… well I do… and I don’t. I love writing. I love storytelling. Most of all, I love it when someone says they got something from my words. I enjoyed writing this book more than any other. That alone in itself is so much a blessing. To love what you do is a precious, rare gift. To truly love it, heavenly. The outstanding reason why I enjoyed writing this book more than any other – I didn’t put any expectation on myself or any stress. I did what comes naturally – what all writers should strive for – just write what is real. What feels pertinent or particular to your experience at a certain juncture in your life.
I leave you with this quote… and the review obviously…
“I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, ‘Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.’ So finally I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.” – Ernest HemingwayRiveting, modern-day romance
When I read the beginning lines, it seemed the stage was set up for a working girl on the prowl, yet the interesting twist at the very beginning made me stick around. The emotional development of the two main characters, Jules and Warrick, was beyond great. It was expertly placed, pleasingly methodical. Both characters had their sets of challenges, and the author goes above and beyond to paint out the progress as they both go beyond the pain in order to achieve happiness.
These characters were universally engaging and it’s one of the many things I appreciated about this work. I saw so much of myself in Jules: a few scenes made tears well in my eyes because her agony was so sharp and so vivid. Although I have never adapted her technique to fill the void for companionship, I can wholly empathize with being drawn to someone’s admiration of me when my self-esteem has been dragged through the mud by others who were supposed to consider me sacred.
Warwick wants to be Jules’ hero. He doesn’t want to see her suffering, yet he doesn’t want her to know about his own kryptonite. It is this very defense mechanism and Jules’ own inhibitions based on past experiences that causes bumps along the way.
In addition to the pacing of conflict, character engagement, and passion throbbing throughout the story, descriptions of locations were suffused in such a way that you felt as if you were actually there-sipping beer at the pub, going sightseeing, or volunteering at the different locations.
If you want romantic scenes with the right mixture of spontaneity, tenderness, primal urge, and sensuality–
If you want a modern day tale of the challenges that can occur when two people are trying to find true love–
If you want a read that puts your spirit as well as your mind at each and every scene–
Then you must NOT hesitate in getting Angel Avenue by Sarah Michelle Lynch. This is a must win: all across the board. This has the makings of a modern day romantic classic. (EXTENDED REVIEW HERE)
Buy this book and read other reviews:
My sixth novel (somebody bloody stop me) is a thought-provoking read with a moral tale, plus romance at its heart…
It’s about an unlikely friendship developing into something much deeper. It’s also about the things that go on around us that are hard to accept. Things such as abuse, bullying, poverty. It’s about how important a blessed childhood is and how valuable a good school life can be to children in need. Overall this is a feel-good book but I do touch on some difficult subjects. Nevertheless my thought when writing was that at this time of year, we all need a little hope and joy. We need some reassurance that there is sometimes great good being done right under our noses. It’s escapist fiction but we all need a little of that from time to time. You could maybe say this is a female version of Scrooge crossed with It’s a Wonderful Life and then a pickled egg added in for good measure.
p.s. this romance (for once) does not include bondage, domination or corsets LOL… it’s safe for even your granny. I will do more erotica in future, but this was a nice derailment. 🙂

Please read After Dark Online’s review of A Fine Profession. They said it was the first book they had reviewed that they’d given an all-round five-star status!!!
Thanks After Dark Online!!!
by Sarah Michelle Lynch
Welcome to another segment of Review Square. Today, we’re hosting a review of Sarah Michelle Lynch’s erotic novel – “A Fine Profession”, in part of The Chambermaid Series.
When I was asked to read the book, to be honest, I was a bit reluctant because of the timeframe that I can deliver the story’s review. I’ve read novels that were good, but filled with far too much fluff and filler; never straight to the point. In this one, I over-estimated the timeframe, and managed to get through the story, within a few weeks time.
The Chambermaid is a character I can identify with and relate to, except that I’m a guy. When I first read the story, I had to admit I needed to re-read the story, because I wasn’t following it through. The beginning of the story did have fluffs and fillers, and I was almost turned off, until I got a better understanding of the beginning of the story. My interest of the story began when I read the pieces between Alex and Charlotte. Charlotte was a cancer survivor who was just finding herself. At first, she never understood why Alex treated her so special, and how much he had cared for her. Charlotte pushed him away, but her awakening didn’t happen until after his death, and her chance to reconcile with Alex never happened.
Without giving any other spoilers, I read the story through, and I’ve got to say… hell ‘fuckin’ yeah! Where was this author all through my life. If a movie was made, I’d watch the movie. I’ve always been a fan of Emmanuel, but Sarah Michelle Lynch has created “The Chambermaid.”
I rate story – a Platinum Read (5-Star). While I’m not a reader of BDSM, I am a reader of erotic romance. Author Sarah M. Lynch made a name of herself on AfterDark Online. This is a story that if I was to hear about it in the movie theatres, I would watch it, and put it on my DVR, or ask for my DVD. The first two chapters, I will admit, are the tough part, if you’re the kind who’s looking for the straight-to-the-point feeling like me. However, Author Sarah M. Lynch delivers. My advice: read her story through, you’ll grab on to her excitements in her story. She has the potential.
If I had to say about the sex scenes in the story, you are going to need more than a toy to please yourself; even more than napkins. I’ve read erotic romance novels, and despite her writing a BDSM erotic romance, I see her as an erotic romance novelist. She has the ability to cry out for pleasure. And she finally made her mark on AfterDark Online as the first author on here to write a 5-Flame story. I’ve read plenty of stories where the authors will turn you on, and keep you masturbating or having unadulterated sex. I will never disclose, but tell you what to look out for. Home girl, take a bow. You’re first person to make it known. I must advise you, you’re going to get wet or hard off her sex scenes. She more than just delivers, she’s putting you there; very cinematic!
The cover of the story was just as enticing as I could imagine. This is an author who takes into consideration of her stories and the imagery of her story. I also have a thing for women in lingerie, except I’m not into being dominated. LOL.
When it came to suspense level, she also managed to make it to a Game-Changer Status. There is something to be glad about reading this story. She is the first one to reach an all five-status; overall feeling, sex scenes, and suspense. author Sarah Michelle Lynch has made a name of herself. If a movie deal was to take place, my advice would be don’t be a fool. I could envision it on film. Baby girl, give yourself a round of applause! You are the first to hit an all-five category! While BDSM isn’t my true forte, I’m willing to keep an open-mind about reading it. Somehow, I can see Sarah Michelle Lynch writing more erotic stories in the future. My advice, keep a watch out for her.
After Dark Online give you a round of applause. You’re the first to make an all-five star status, and we hope to see you on here again.
Definitely a recommend.
Hi guys! Just a swift check-in from me.
I have been stupidly bogged down with editing and stuff lately. Got a busy week of signing stuff off coming up.
Personally, I can confirm my next novel is something very different to anything I have ever done before. I am reluctant to release details at the moment but I can confirm, it is literary/contemporary fiction.
More to come. Until then, check out The Chambermaid. She got a few more reviews this week and I am super pleased that I am reaching various corners of the globe!
Click below and enjoy!
Oooh, it’s cold. It’s dark outside. It’s not all that nice! My husband works in journalism and is flat-out in the month of November to get you all your Christmas magazines. He hardly sees the light of day. Bless him! I always write something every year for my husband to look forward to reading at the end of this period of slog. Last year it was an unusual one… a 160,000-word action adventure novel, Beneath the Exile, which spanned four decades and several continents.
This year, I will give him something with fewer words but nevertheless, it is still pretty special. I will provide more on that, all in due course. It sure should get published. It’s something with a festive theme… I have a book cover ready and I am editing as we speak. By ze way, it is not erotique… More to come…
I’ve also been busy typesetting other people’s books for publication, editing them, producing covers. So you could say it’s one hectic month and I am so looking forward to Christmas this year! A lovely period of time off with my husband and daughter.
Treat yourself to a double helping of Chambermaid action today for a bargain price of less than £2.70 for the two (A Fine Profession and A Fine Pursuit). Still been getting some great feedback for these erotic stories. You can also still purchase the chambermaid’s short stories for 99pence. Just search Amazon for Bedtime Confessions. (click on the covers on my home page to view these books on amazon).
In other news I have an extra scene I wrote for A Fine Pursuit that I am hoping to release sometime soon! It’s from Charlotte’s POV, though the novel is from Noah’s voice…! A little bonus from our naughty chambermaid. What a year it has been so far.
Catch ya later, Sx
I have a rule as a reviewer that if I can’t read a book, then I won’t review it and a few times, the sheer honesty of this book made me hover over whether or not I’d finish it. But I did. What do I mean by honesty? Sarah’s so honest with her writing, she’s almost brutal. Her candour and bluntness are almost unnerving until you get accustomed to her and Charlotte, the main character’s, voice.
Lottie is a well-written character, so much so that she ceases to be just a part of a story. She’s integral. Through her, we see pain and suffering, sexual release and need, hunger and a desire to be loved. Not just for her, but in ourselves. In fact, she’s so well-crafted that Sarah deserves a pat on the back.
This isn’t a comfortable read. The sex scenes are highly detailed and Sarah doesn’t pull her punches here, either. Some things will make you cringe; others will get you hot. A Fine Profession is a book that will stick with you, one that will make you ponder and rehash. Especially the ending. I know there’s a book two coming out and I can’t help but wonder where it will go and if Lottie will be a part of that.
I can easily recommend this book, but don’t expect your average piece of erotica. This is so much more.
If erotica is your thing, then look no further than A Fine Profession.
I met you in the gallery of stars
And drank the ether of your eyes.
Sense. Sight.
My wares obliterate.
Beyond the orchard walls
You became my soul, at the water’s edge.
Let us go then you and I
Out across the waves and pastures
Of the sinking world.
Come and rest your head awhile.
My memory is hazed adrift.
As the cloud parts from the blissful shore,
My joy departs to thee.
Sleep in the solitude of my love’s cascade,
And wake in the shroud
Of all things beyond the blessed.
Endless joy assured,
My one. My truth. My love.
♥
For Noah and Charlotte

Sarah Michelle Lynch
