    About this audiobook

    Jilted at the altar, Lady Louisa Bennett seeks the solace of a quiet, empty chapel and instead finds Alistair de Roche, her fiancé’s best man and the subject of her fantasies from the moment she met him. Alistair knows bedding his best friend’s betrothed is well beyond the pale, but Louisa has haunted his dreams for months. Soon, Louisa and Alistair are caught up in a consuming love affair that threatens their families’ plans and their own hearts. Can they find a way to live happily, and carnally, ever after?

    Editor's Note

    Wildly Sexy...

    “Carnally Ever After” kicks off Jackie Barbosa’s “Ever After” series, erotic historical novellas that bring the heat and the history. In this book, the plus-size heroine has been left at the altar, found by the missing groom’s best friend, who’s been lusting after the heroine but is on his way to marriage with someone else. They agree to satisfy their respective urges, with no strings attached, and their ensuing encounter is wildly sexy. These two characters are completely honest with one another about their feelings and intentions, which is refreshing.

    Jackie Barbosa

    I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a writer when I grew up, but there were plenty of times when I wasn’t sure I ever would be. As it turns out, it just took me about twenty years longer to grow up than I expected! On the road to publication, I took a few detours, including a stint in academia (I hold an MA in Classics from the University of Chicago and was a recipient of a Mellon Fellowship in the Humanities) and many years as a technical writer/instructional designer for a data processing company. I still hold my day job, but my true vocation has always been writing fiction and romance in particular. To stay informed of my release schedule, you can sign up for my newsletter (which I only send out when I actually release a book) or follow me on Twitter or Facebook. As a matter of public record, I tend to be a lot more active on Twitter, but also a lot more political. I am represented by Kevan Lyon of the Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. I’m a firm believer that love is the most powerful force in the world, which that makes romance the most powerful genre in the world. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

      It was a nice short and sweet story with just enough heat. I had to laugh about the cucumber. The author's note was a bit heat wrenching.
    • 3/5
      It was ok, short and sweet, can't wait for the next installs, hoping it gets better and better
    • 5/5
      Love the series and the heat level is great. Keep it up.
    • 2/5
      More plot would have made me care about the characters. While I appreciated the fact that the heroine was on the plump side, the extent to which it was emphasized made it practically the main focus of the book, which, to me at least, had the opposite of the intended effect. First novella, apparently, so it’s understandable. Her others are better.
    • 5/5
      The author's note broke my heart but this is a beautiful story. Im so happy i got to listen.
    • 2/5
      I liked the storyline, but this genre was not for me.
