@ChloeThurlow1
Introduction
Katie in Love is Chloe Thurlow's sixth novel, a contemporary romance spiced with
the flowing literary erotica that has found Chloe described as “…the Anaïs Nin of our times,” by writer KM Dylan. Coolly self-aware, a masterclass
in fine writing, Thurlow reveals in Katie
in Love a writer at the height of her powers.
A literary
erotic masterpiece!
With
“Katie in Love”, Chloe Thurlow has written another erotic masterpiece! Good
literature challenges you, and
startles you, providing interesting insights, ideas and questions about life.
That is what
Chloe Thurlow does in her luminous prose and sexy, dreamy
plotlines. I will repeat what I
wrote in my review for another of her erotic
novels, “The Secret Life of Girls,” Chloe belongs
in a rarefied circle of
authors of ground-breaking erotica such as Anais Nin, Pauline Reage
and the
Marquis de Sade—her writing is not only gripping and hot,
but enriches your
intellect and soul. ~ By M on

Katie Boyd has nothing in common with Tom Bridge, the volunteer doctor
she meets at a party – except in bed she finds a passion to match her own. Tom
is intense, puzzling, a man who cares about others and compels Katie to
question her own life drifting through the hip clubs and London party scene.
When Tom returns to his post in a Sri Lanka orphanage, Katie isn’t sure
if their passion was lit by its brevity, or if love, unexpected and not
entirely wanted, has edged its way into her life. Should she go back to being
who she always was? Or follow Tom into the unknown?
Katie in Love is a compelling erotic-romance that will grip readers as
they follow Katie’s journey to an ending they may have expected – but not in
the way they expected it.
Katie has met a stranger
and taken him back to her apartment –
He
kissed my breasts in turn, left first, then right, taking my nipples into his
mouth and biting down just hard enough to make them pop out, eager for more. At
the same time his quick fingers found the zip on my skirt and the fabric fell
about my toes. He rolled down my tights and I hopped about from foot to foot as
he expertly rid me of this clutter.
Just
as I had gone down on my knees, like an echo, he did the same. He took the
sides of my panties and pulled at the elastic. He ran the moist fabric down my
legs and over my feet. He dropped down and adjusted his head so he could savour
me. I adored the touch of his tongue and he drank from me as if from an
upturned cup. I could smell my own scent. I pulled him up and we stumbled to
the bed where, in a long kiss, I tasted warm salty seas with a fragrance as
sweet as baby breath.
He
slid up inside me, and time wasn't suspended. It was racing. He was going to
come. I didn't want him to, not now, not yet. The longer you wait, the more you
delay, the more you reach the moment of release before receding, the greater
the pleasure, the more wonder and mystery that wraps itself around the orgasm.
As
he tensed, I let his cock slip from its warm cocoon and sewed kisses over the
fine curly hair on his chest. I straddled his neck and lowered myself over his
mouth as if it were a saddle on a horse. He kissed and sucked, nudged my
clitoris and wormed his tongue into the heart of my pulsating vagina. Liquids
seeped from me in a continual stream, piquant and vital, the essence of sex.
Tended the right way and in the right places, a girl is an eternal fount that
just keeps giving, the milky fluid creaming over the walls of my pussy, over my
spread lips, anointing the stranger in a fine spray that coated his face.

I wrote an erotic short story while I was at college. It was
published in a magazine. And
my fate was sealed. I was hooked on exploring my
own sexuality and writing about it – the result, six novels culminating in, my favourite.
All
things Thurlow
Katie
In Love is the next book in Thurlow's long list of exceptionally well written
books. Once again, Thurlow writes with intelligence, wit, panache and a true
passion for life and the human experience. As with all of her other books, this
bookis a great read to be enjoyed by the tens of thousands of readers that
Thurlow has titillated these many years. And if you are new to erotic romance
as a genre then there is no better author to begin with than Chloe Thurlow.
Highly recommended! Cheers. ~ Bydennison

The other stuff: due to my father's job, I was born in Belgium, took
my first steps in Italy, went to kindergarten in Canada and shipped back to
school in England. I am an insomniac. I love dancing. I adore the Mediterranean,
late nights, chilled cava (better than champagne, lighter, less fizzy) and I
stop being so stodgily English when I speak (my rather mediocre) Spanish. Read more today on Chloe's blog here.

The Book: Katie in Love
Introduction: Katie likes sex with strangers.
No strings. She isn’t looking for love and doesn't know if it's what she wants
after that first night with Tom and the feeling starts slipping over her like a
warm breeze on a cold day. In 3 weeks, Tom leaves for his work overseas? Then
what?
Tell us about your
newest release:
Katie
in Love draws upon everything I behave ever done
and thought about, all my fears, minor triumphs, my desire to write romance
erotica in a way that will last in the memory and last long into the future –
like my literary heroine Anaïs Nin. The novel is driven by the characters,
Katie and Tom, their passion set against the passions, politics and philosophy
of our times.
What genre do you enjoy
writing the most? Why?
My earlier novels were about girls coming
of age and exploring their sexuality. I guess I have come of age and my erotica
has a deeper, more literary edge – liberated women looking for their place in
the world and grabbing it. I write erotica because I read it and like it. Sex
is an essential part of our being and what better way to enjoy sex – if you're
not actually having sex – than to read about it.
What was one of the most
surprising things you learned in creating your story?
I learned that I don't hate my own Mother
after all, and that my father, who appears ultra-conservative, isn't
conservative after all.
Who is your favorite
hero of fiction?
Cathy from Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë because there's a bit of me in
Cathy and a bit of Cathy in Katie.
What is your most
treasured possession?
Not my laptop. Not my iphone. My passport.
If you could only tell
us one thing about yourself, what would you want us to know most?
Ooo, that's hard. That I hate this world
being so out of balance, that there would be less poverty if there were less
greed, that I may appear at first glance to be on the right of the invisible
line, but I am several steps further to the left.
Which living person do
you most dislike?
Two years ago I would have said Mother.
That's not true any more. I occasionally think it's my brother, but I love him
madly. I think it would have to be the man who invented debt as a saleable
products and bankrupted the world.
Which living person do
you most admire?
This is another impossible question, but I
will say Stephen Hawking, the Cambridge theoretical physicist who should have
died aged 23 and is now aged 73, for his perseverance and genius.
With whom, living or dead
and why, would you like to sit and chat with for an afternoon?
Albert Camus – author of The Stranger; The Outsider in the UK –
who went beyond existentialism to the understanding that there is just you and
just this moment in time and that should be lived to the full. Melancholy, he
said, is the intellectual disease. Now get over it.
What is your greatest
fear?
Failure.
Who or what has been the
greatest love of your life?
It is him and it is now.
What is your greatest
regret?
Everything seems to happen for a purpose.
You break your leg, miss a skiing holiday, spend a week in bed discovering a
new author and fall in love with the Swiss doctor. You discover the bastard's
married. You cry on the train home and a stranger gives you his handkerchief.
By coincidence, you get off at the same stop. But is it coincidence? Best not
have regrets. There's always another day.
If you could choose to
be a character in a book, who would it be?
I would be Katie Bond, the female James
Bond. I would win loads of money at the casinos (to give to the poor, of
course), sleep with beautiful men to learn their secrets, then save the world
from a vile consortium of corporate bandits trying to take over the United
Nations.
Which book have you read
the most in your lifetime?
The Unbearable
Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, a Nobel
prize-winner and greatly underestimated.
What is your favorite
journey? Metaphorically or otherwise?
That's easy. It is the flight from London
to Barcelona because I adore seeing the blue skies and blue seas as the plane
banks to land and the Mediterranean sun shines in my eyes.
What is your favorite
quotation?
"The man who never alters his opinion
is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind." William Blake
Dogs or Cats? Which do
you prefer and why?
Cats. I'm a cat.
What do you most value
in a friend?
Honesty. I like people to do what they say
they are going to do and I try to do the same myself.
What quality do you most
admire in a woman/man, lover/spouse or influencer/boss?
I suppose the same as above: honesty,
integrity, openness.
What are your favorite
names?
Katie, Eleanor, Marie-France / Thomas
(Tom), Max, David
What authors or friends
influenced you in helping you become a writer?
I was influenced by my tutor at university
and by an uncle who believes he never reached his potential; I was influenced
by the authors mentioned, Nin, Camus, Kundera, and so many more my mind is
spinning.
What does your family
think about your career as a published author?
Mmm. They would like me to write in a genre
other than the genre I have chosen.
Besides writing, what
other interests do you have?
Swimming, dancing, running, running away,
learning Spanish, eating oysters, cooking omelettes (I can’t cook anything
else), watching movies, specially if Ryan Gosling is in them, and watching the
sun come up over the Mediterranean while walking home carrying my shoes.
Which are your three
favorite books?
A Spy
in the House of Love (Nin), One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), The Secret History (Donna Tartt).
Which book that you’ve
written is your favorite?
Katie
in Love – no doubts. It lived with me for 13
months, my late baby.
Where do you get your
greatest ideas for writing?
Walking alone in the park. Ideas fall out
of the sky and fill my head. I use my phone to record those ideas and just hate
it if someone calls in the middle of it.
Even if it's him.
What is your ‘Writing
Routine’, if any?
I write at night while the stars dance in
the sky and the planes follow the Thames into Heathrow. But, really, writers
are writing all of the time. My friends hate it (although the secretly love it)
when I steal their dialogue and slip it into my books.
Do you have any
interesting quirks or rituals?
Oh, yes, millions, too many to share,
except I try to follow Hemingway's advice and always leave something undone so
you don't face the horror of the white page the following day. I love
Hemingway, although I wish he hadn't shot all those elephants. I drink coffee
and I love other people reading my work aloud.
Tell us a
saucy/intimate/personal story about yourself.
Oh My God! Only one. On a moonlit summer night
when I was on holiday in Spain with my
parents and didn't speak Spanish, I met a boy who didn't speak English. We
danced at the disco. We joined hands. We walked to the beach and, with the tide
lapping like a beating heart against the shoreline, we did that thing we were
born to do.
Silence/Music/TV for
background?
Silence for work, flamenco, Amy Winehouse,
Bach.

Can you tell us what is
coming up next for you?
Yes, I would love to. A new novel set in
the United States (Long Island and Manhattan) that is not in any way
autobiographical and is about an older woman discovering herself and her
sexuality with a younger man. I have a fantastic title, so fantastic I am not
giving it away.
Beautifully
written erotic love story
Pleasantly surprised
was my first reaction.
I have read other books from Chloe Thurlow and this is different.
Softer, sweeter, harmonious, yet still erotic.
The story has a feeling of calmness, easy flowing,
soul stirring as the author takes you on a journey
with Katie Boyd and Tom Bridge.
Katie a writer of erotic novels and Tom a doctor who works with
children in Sri Lanka.
Different as night and day yet destined soul mates.
Sometimes, it only takes a single word, a color, a scent, or a touch to
catapult us back in time.
The author has done just that as Katie reminiscences some pivotal points
in her life.
A snapshot of who she is, where she came from and how much is she
willing to surrender for what she wants.
Questioning the unknown, love…
“I had lost my sense of balance, of equilibrium. I understood how strangers met
and fell into bed,
not how they met and fell in love. I wasn't sure what falling in love meant.”
Luscious scenes as Katie and Tom discover erogenous zones with
passionate kisses, magical strokes and oral intimate acts.
This is after all an erotic romance.
The ending unexpected and welcomed with this becoming my
favorite of the authors’ work.
Beautifully written erotic love story.
