| Joy has two perfect men in her life -- a sensuous elf for white-hot sex and a warm-hearted human for domestic security. But when she falls in love with one, can she bear to give up the other? Young, pretty and sexually inexperienced, Joy yearns to know what true passion is. The prim and proper ladies who have raised her in their orphanage will only say that sex is dirty, men are disgusting, and elves are the most sinful creatures in the world. But Joy is eager and over-ripe; she’s sure they must be wrong. A beautiful sailor promises to answer Joy’s every question with sexual passion. But when they are caught just short of consummation, he abandons her and Joy is driven from her home by the scandal. She is rescued from a frozen death by Aidan Clark, a prosperous silversmith. The craftsman gives her shelter in his spartan home and offers her employment as his housekeeper. He expects nothing more, but Joy – still curious and still a frustrated virgin – insists on sharing his bed. The results are brief and deeply disappointing. Bek, a breathtaking coal-eyed elf, turns his seductive interest on Joy and she is deeply tempted. But she is determined not to disgrace Aidan. To her great outrage – and secret delight – the men come to an arrangement. Joy will meet Bek in the forest on every full moon night for one year, and Aidan will be paid a bag of rare elven silver for her ‘services’. Sex with Bek is everything Joy had hoped for – sensuous, inventive, unrestrained and deeply fulfilling. Her mundane life as Aidan’s servant and companion is equally satisfactory. But when Joy begins to fall in love with kindly Aidan, her heart will no longer let her body be shared. She must learn the dark secrets of Aidan’s sexual past to help him overcome his shame. And she must use everything she’s learned from her elven lover to turn Aidan into the love and lover she truly desires. Read an Excerpt Buy the Book |

From Joyfully Reviewed.com: Thirteen Silver Moons is a wonderful story about what true love means, and what you will do to get it. While I had a bit of a hard time with parts of the plot line (this story has it all—masturbation, oral sex, an orgy and voyeurism) fitting into the overall story, I felt that it pulled together nicely at the end of the book. Ms. Marlowe does a wonderful job in cementing the fact that glitter and glitz sometimes are not the most satisfying, but if you have to work for it, the rewards are even better. Thirteen Silver Moons is a well-thought out lesson in true love and happiness. Read the full review: Joyfully Reviewed From M.J. Fierstein: Wanna be Seduced? My favorite part of this book hands down (besides the sex which was surprise. It was quite refreshing to have an imperfect and very real hero that still managed to come across as a strong opposite to the heroine. He captivated me with his thoughtfulness, brash mannerisms, and vulnerability. Thirteen Silver Moons is a tale of discovery and love that you do not want to miss. The story is endearing, the characters really speak to you, and the sex gets hotter with every turn of the page leaving you longing for more! Read the full review: M. J. Fierstein Four Cups from Coffee Time Romance: Chrissie writes: "Thirteen Silver Moons is captivating erotic romance. Joy is a fun and unconventional heroine. She is an innocent but she is very intelligent and sure of what she wants. Aidan Clark is a likable and endearing character but there is also an aura of mystery about him. The plot is very hot with surprising twists in turns. In particular, Aidan and Joy experience a role reversal that I found refreshing and extremely seductive."
