Invisible Ink Kindle Edition

by Elisabeth Joye (Author), Amber Lea Easton (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 23 ratings
Lex has never felt more exposed. She has just allowed Jake Reed, the lead singer of rock band Inkjet, to undress her and tie her to a chair backstage after a show, only to have him leave to go sign autographs.

It is the start of a dark, obsessive relationship that will lead Lex, a 20-something public relations professional from L.A., to lose herself almost entirely as she struggles to break through her sexual boundaries without falling in love with Jake, an intimidatingly gorgeous Hollywood actor/rock star who closely guards his emotions.

What starts as a series of casual hookups ends up a powerful addiction that will push Lex past all her sexual boundaries as Jake moves repeatedly in and out of her life, making few promises along the way. Lex fights to keep a sense of herself while she succumbs to Jake’s glamorous world and his irresistible allure.

I have always felt most alive when I was seeing my favorite bands in concert.

I've also always wanted to write a romance novel. Since I was a 12, I have been writing fiction, blending my love of bands into my stories. This is how Invisible Ink was born.

I am a trained reporter with a master's degree in journalism, but I gave up writing professionally to care for my son, who is about to turn 4. This little story became the way I could stay "me" while being a stay-at-home mom. I hope you enjoy the adventure of Lex as much as I did writing it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put this book down
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016

    Finally...a rockstar romance that doesn't follow the normal formula. You know: rockstar meets girl and goes from manwhore to fully committed in 30 seconds (😉); rockstar knocks girl up (even though she's on the pill) and they live happily ever after. Jake Reed is your typical celebrity; self-centered and used to getting what he wants, no questions asked. Lexi is a huge fan, completely obsessed. When their worlds collide, nothing really goes as you'd expect it to. This book takes you on a wild ride of obsession, sex, and need that probably gives you a more realistic look at what it's really like to get involved with a rockstar. The sex scenes are white-hot, and it takes you on a journey that will leave you feeling more than satisfied.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The Experience of Desire
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016
    Format: Kindle
    In the world of explicit fiction, eroticism is sometimes treated as synonymous with sex. In my view, they could hardly be more different. Sex is about physical acts and the sensual pleasure they engender. Eroticism involves the experience of desire, an emotional state that may be entirely independent of bodily arousal.

    Of course, desire and sex often occur together (the former usually being the cause, the latter the effect), but that’s not always true. I’ve read far too many self-styled “erotic” stories in which the author’s primary concern seemed to be who was doing what to whom, without much attention paid to how anyone felt about the process. Meanwhile, it’s possible to write (though difficult to sell!) erotic tales that include little or no sexual activity. For instance, I have a BDSM story (“Stroke”, originally published in the anthology Please Sir) in which the hero is a Dom half paralyzed by a cerebral hemorrhage, who seduces his kink-curious nurse without ever touching her.

    I’ll lay out my bias clearly before I continue. I’m far more interested in the infinite variations of desire than I am in the ultimately limited repertoire of sexual acts.

    Elisabeth Joye’s debut novella Invisible Ink is almost one hundred percent sex scenes. At the same time, it’s one of the most erotic books I’ve read in a while. The book’s premise is a bit implausible—a woman so ensnared by sexual need for one particular man that she will do anything to be with him, regardless of the consequences—but Ms. Joye focuses so strongly on Lex’s inner life that I could suspend my disbelief, at least while I was reading.

    Jake is literally a rock star. Lex begins as a fan. When he singles her out from the crowd of adoring groupies, she falls deeply and permanently under his spell. The chemistry between them is so strong it overwhelms everything else—rationality, responsibility, morality.

    What’s erotic about this scenario? Being known. Jake knows what Lex wants before she’s aware of it herself. He challenges her to act upon her desires—and to satisfy his—no matter how outrageous. We all hide things from our lovers. The notion that we might share our darkest fantasies, without guilt or blame, can be intoxicating. Jake offers Lex exactly this freedom. In fact, he demands it.

    He knows Lex in another, more visceral way as well. Through intuition, skill or luck, he understands how to play her body in order to evoke the maximum pleasure. We all dream of finding the perfect lover whose every touch is bliss. Jake has that gift, at least as far as Lex is concerned.

    It’s erotic to be known, to the dirty depths of your soul. It’s also intensely arousing to be chosen by the one you desire, to feel that you alone can satisfy that person’s need. In Invisible Ink, the author makes it clear that no woman has ever gotten under Jake’s skin the way Lex has, despite his skittishness about commitment and her explicit renunciation of any sort of long term relationship. The heroine’s sense of being unique, special, destined to love the hero, is a touchstone of romance, but it’s also intensely erotic.

    The sex in Invisible Ink is moderately extreme. The book includes transgressive scenes involving bondage, voyeurism and public sex. And yes, Jake is massively endowed (sigh), which makes the rough sex all the more edgy. I was more impressed, though, by Ms. Joye’s attention to the subtler aspects of their physical connection—Jake’s warm breath, his distinctive smell, his stubble scraping against Lex’s flesh, and his seductive, irresistible voice. The best scenes in the book are the ones where he wrings an orgasm from Lex without even touching her.

    But then perhaps I’m just revealing my bias.

    Although we see Jake only through Lex’s eyes, he’s a far more substantial character than she is. His hot-and-cold moods, his arrogance and conceit, his hidden need, all make sense in the context of who he is—adored as a star, but also exploited as a commodity. Lex on the other hand seems to have no personal traits other than her obsession with Jake. When she’s not with him, she’s rather boring. She hooks up with boring men. It’s as if she only exists as Jake’s lover.

    Perhaps this is exactly the point Ms. Joye was trying to make. I found it disappointing, even distressing, however. Why would a complex, tortured, creative person like Jake fall in love with a non-entity like Lex? It’s clear their connection is more than just sex. What does he see in her that I didn’t?

    Furthermore, although I love Ms. Joye’s brilliant, believable portrayal of Lex’s erotic obsession, I have a hard time swallowing a woman who’d blithely abandon her job for sex. Even Jake seems a bit shocked when she tells him she’s been fired (presumably because he feels responsible). I suppose my feminist upbringing is partially responsible for my horror, but still, Invisible Ink would have been far more intriguing if Lex experienced some actual conflict about jettisoning her career, her boyfriend, or her fiancé, when Jake calls.

    Invisible Ink excels in its portrayal of a woman under the hypnotic influence of desire. It never goes beyond that point, though. Given the insight Ms. Joye shows in some of this book, I think she can do better. I look forward to her next work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars strange relationship of erotic games, power play, orgasms, fights, highs, and lows
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016
    Format: Kindle
    Who says that writing about realistic sex relationships is boring? Well, as realistic as the story of an unlikely dark romance between a rock star and his fan can be.

    Invisible Ink is the debut novella of Ms. Elisabeth Joye, a former political journalist who finally made her dream of writing a romance novel come true. This is a story of how an erotic obsession with a powerful, dominant man can shape, change and even ruin a hyper-sensual woman’s life.

    Invisible Ink opens with an incredibly powerful scene of a young woman tied to a chair at the back of a large concert hall. This is our heroine Lex who has just been swept off her feet by Jake Reed, a rock star and vocal of the band Inkjet whose popularity is growing with every concert. What follows is one of the steamiest sex scenes I’ve read recently.

    And thus begins their strange relationship of erotic games, power play, orgasms, fights, highs, and lows. The sexual chemistry between the two is sizzling and always brings them back together no matter how long they stay away from each other.

    It won’t be a fairytale for both Jake and Lex. I liked how realistic they both were, how authentic their dialogues and how mind blowing their sex scenes were. They read much like a real couple in spite of their constant denial of being one. Jake was a difficult one to like or sympathize with for most of the story. At times, I wished that Lex would get off her erotic roller coaster and officially kick him out of her life. But he was also a truly hot character who knew how to bring her to emotional and sexual heights that she never even suspected of. Occasionally he would show his sensitive, deeper side. Lex was a feisty, spirited woman in need to get released of her inner inhibitions. Her awareness that the affair with Jake Reed is slowly ruining her life makes the submission to his sexual ownership even sweeter.

    To be honest, most of the time those two left me yelling at them, ordering them to get their s*** together and start acting like grown-ups. At times their tendency to avoid facing their problems by having more and more sex was maddening. But that was what also made them easy to relate with. All the insecurity, inner demons, and need for deeper intimacy had the two characters lost in a labyrinth of pleasure and constant longing. The next orgasm, the next night of passion, the next inappropriate encounter.

    The writing of Elisabeth is neat and the novella is a pleasure to read, from the sensual games between Jake and Reed to their heated arguments. She is definitely an interesting author and I’d strongly suggest that you’d give her try. I also hope that she’d continue writing her tales of erotic obsession.
