Product Description

Product Description

A visit to Heddlestone, a remote village in the Yorkshire moors, changes librarian, Kate Carter's life forever. The place has an eerie yet erotic charge and when Kate is later offered a job in its puppet museum, she leaves London and her boyfriend to take up the post. Jake, the strange and beautiful curator and puppeteer, draws her into his secluded sensual world, and before long she's sharing his bed and discovering a new and frightening side of love and lust. But Heddlestone is a village with secrets and Kate is haunted by a surreal holiday memory of a cool handsome man dominating a woman dressed like a crazy ballerina. The man is Eddie, Jake's brother, and when Kate is seduced by him and his reckless Ukrainian wife she becomes involved in a second dark relationship. Split between the two men, Kate moves closer to the truth of Heddlestone, sensing danger but not knowing if the greatest threat comes from ghosts or reality.


From the Back Cover

No man had ever touched me like that. My desire for him was so sudden and all-consuming I was frightened for myself. For the first time in my life, I thought, I am known. This man sees something in me he can reach, and I will never escape him. And it seemed I would always be on the run, always fleeing the Jakes of this world because they have the power to devour me. I’m enthralled as much as I’m scared by that. I will always run from them and yet I will always seek them out.
I was beginning to understand what had brought me to this place.

A visit to Heddlestone, a remote village in the Yorkshire moors, changes librarian, Kate Carter’s life. The place has an eerie yet erotic charge and when Kate is later offered a job in its puppet museum, she flees London and her boyfriend in order to take it.
Jake, the strange and beautiful curator and puppeteer, draws her into his secluded sensual world, and before long she’s sharing his bed, going deeper into new and at times frightening explorations of love and lust. But Kate is also seduced by Eddie, Jake’s brother, and his wild Ukrainian wife, and she becomes tangled in a second dark relationship. Split between the two men, Kate moves closer to uncovering the truth behind the secrets of Heddlestone, ever sensing danger but not knowing whether the greatest threat comes from ghosts or reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant bondage , 9 Jan 2008
Split is the best book about female submission and bondage I have ever read.

As Kate Carter tells her story of how she was drawn to the creepy village of Heddlestone the reader feels helplessly drawn in too. We follow Kate as she gets involved with her charismatic and controlling employer, Jake, and yet can't resist the bed of his brutish brother Eddie too. These scenes are arousing and absorbing as Kate gives in to the demands of both Jake and Eddie submitting to bondage, spanking and more, and continually questioning and deconstructing her dark fantasies - fantasies which are becoming more and more real.

But this is not just a collection of delicious smutty scenes - the book is also strong, tense thriller, which will have you racing through the final sections.

Split takes elements of creepy Victorian and gothic literature, blends it with the spooky isolated communities of The Wicker Man or the darker scenes from The League of Gentlemen and delivers a novel that is fully accomplished on every level.

There's even a wide streak of pitch black humour

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very naughty! Loved it!, 5 Jul 2008
By L. Felthouse "Avid reader and published writer" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The previous book I'd read by this author, Asking for Trouble wasn't really my cup of tea. However, I'm never one to judge on just one novel, so I've very happily read and reviewed Split. It's the story of Kate Carter, who flees her hectic life and her boyfriend in London, and disappears to a remote Yorkshire village. It has an eerie feel to it, and Kate has no idea why she's been drawn to this place, but she's about to find out...

Kate has bagged herself a job at the puppet museum - working for a man called Jake. It becomes apparent on their first meeting that something is going to happen between them, it's just a matter of time. Indeed, Kate ends up in Jake's bed - and his heart. As Kate grows both physically and emotionally closer to Jake, she feels as though she is learning new things about herself and the possibilities brought about by different sexual experiences. Jake pushes her further than she's ever been - with bondage, humiliation, and more.

Just as Kate is really beginning to feel secure with Jake and properly enjoy what they're doing - he begins encouraging her to sleep with his brother, Eddie. Jake and Eddie are complete opposites - Jake a quietly spoken, intelligent man, and Eddie is all brawn and arrogance. And yet... Kate finds herself drawn to both men and is soon sleeping with them both, albeit not at the same time. But all that is about to change as Jake's games grow in their intensity and danger - and Kate hears whispers about women disappearing from the village.

Beginning to get scared, and longing for home, Kate wants to leave, but isn't sure she's got the strength to tear herself away from the two men she is split between. Creepy ghosts and puppets all add to the eeriness of this erotic tale.

I found this a vast improvement over Asking for Trouble. But it was always a subject matter issue, as opposed to anything against Kristina Lloyd's writing, which is fabulous. I loved the bondage and humiliation scenes in this book, and the deeply sexy scene in the church towards the end is enough to get anyone going! I really enjoyed this novel, and will definitely be reading more from this author in the future!

5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy and sexy!, 11 Jan 2008
By C. Duggan (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this book. It is edgy and incredibly sexy and hard to put down. Even when I couldn't quite agree with the heroine's choices, I couldn't stop reading until the last page. I loved the ending too which fitted perfectly with the overall mystery and driving pace of this fascinating story.
