Lainey Delaroque started writing poems when she was stuck in hospital with pneumonia. She was 11 years-old then and hasn’t stopped writing since. She loves dangerous, fantastical worlds and morally grey characters. She writes diverse romantic thrillers packed with action, danger and sizzling tension. When the suspense is too much for Lainey, she takes a break by writing contemporary romance stories with kinky twists.
I enjoyed reading Lainey Delaroque‘s Club Lavender Duet and the subsequent Dark Things series so I was curious to see how her first reverse harem novel would compare. The blurb didn’t give too much away so I was reading with little impression of what the book would be about. Unfortunately, things didn’t become much clearer throughout the book and I was left with several unanswered […]

Dark Pills was the Lainey Delaroque story I’ve been waiting for, ever since Lu-Na’s introduction into the Lavender world.

Hold Up! Have you read the Club Lavender Duet yet? No? Go do that.

Once you’ve read them you’ll recognise Hanako, Mathias and Connor and realise that you’ve been waiting to

When I wrote about The Lavender Phantom my first point of contention was the prologue being written in the third person. Although it was expected, I was disappointed to see The Brigand Children start in the same way. This time around, our observer is following Penelope Wilson-Grey, Damien’s despicable, estranged wife. A number of chapters are written in observation of her. I have to admit,

The Lavender Phantom was a fabulous read. The book gets really dark at times but manages to deal with the subject matter sensitively and realistically (or as realistically as fiction like this can).
