About the Author

USA Today Best-Selling author Roz Lee is the author of twenty erotic romances. The first, The Lust Boat, was born of an idea acquired while on a Caribbean cruise with her family and soon blossomed into a five book series published by Red Sage. Following her love of baseball, she turned her attention to sexy athletes in tight pants, writing the critically acclaimed Mustangs Baseball series.
Roz has been married to her best friend, and high school sweetheart, for over three decades. Roz and her husband have two grown daughters (and a new Son-in-law) they couldn't be more proud of.
Even though Roz has lived on both coasts, her heart lies in between, in Texas. A Texan by birth, she can trace her family back to the Republic of Texas. With roots that deep, she says, "You can't ever really leave."
When Roz isn't writing, she's reading, or traipsing around the country on one adventure or another. No trip is too small, no tourist trap too cheesy, and no road unworthy of travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014

The Middlethorpe Chronicles isn't your typical erotic romance. First, the couple involved are empty-nesters, very happily married. Second, the style of prose is written almost the way Anais Nin wrote her stories in the "Delta of Venus" collection, which gives it a slightly more elegant flare to it. However, the sex is still hotter than hot, as one would expect from a Roz Lee novel, and hopefully it will give a boost to the sex lives of empty-nester couples all over the world.

Mrs. Middlethorpe is glad to have the house to herself once again, but she misses the earth-shattering sex she and her husband had when they were first married and before children. She sets out to change all that with one agreement - every Friday night will be their night to have adventurous sex. Her husband, intrigued, agrees...and the next few months their Friday night adventures ends up turning their lives upside down in a good, sweaty, hot hot hot sex-life way.

There are also a few laugh-out-loud moments - such as why Mrs. Middlethorpe chooses to have the monthly family dinner in the dining room, as opposed to the kitchen table where they usually ate.

Roz Lee just keeps getting better and better. This story goes to prove that sex lives don't stop after the age of 50. Read and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars REKINDLING THE FIRE!
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014

What I liked about this book is that the main characters aren't twenty-somethings. They've raised their family and are now trying to put that 'spark' back in their marriage. An boy, do they! I don't want to spoil the story for you, but let's just say this couple stirs the embers of desire into a wild fire. This was a fast read because I wanted to see what these two were going to do next! I may have to try some of these things in my own marriage.

2.0 out of 5 stars Writing Experiment That Fails, For Me
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2014

First, let me say I am a big Roz Lee fan (go, Mustangs baseball!) and love her erotic writing. Nobody choreographs a sex scene like she does, and this book is no exception; the pacing, creativity, and inventiveness is excellent. I especially loved the idea of a midlife couple as the stars of the novella.

So, why the low rating? Well, like the premise of the story, that their Friday night sex sessions will be held without talking, the author has made the interesting choice to forego dialogue. There's a handful of short sentences, but not enough to give the reader a break. Although we dip inside Mr. Middlethorpe's head, and Mrs. Middlethorpe's head, we aren't SHOWN internal thoughts, only TOLD them: Mrs. Middlethorpe felt X, Mr. Middlethorpe thought Y.

We don't even get to know what their first names are.

For me, this writing experiment did not work; I felt held at a frustrating distance, instead of being IN the story. It was somewhat interesting the read for the first ten pages or so, then it dragged, despite the hot action being described.

So for this reason, paradoxically, I would recommend that if you write erotica or erotic romance, you should read this novella. Even though I didn't like it. 1)YMMV - YOU might like it very much. 2) It's a great illustration, IMO, of how too much telling and not enough showing can kill an otherwise great story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Erotica for the rest of us.

The Middlethorpe Chronicles is hot and sexy to be sure but it's told in a charmingly formal style that suits this couple past that first (and even second) bloom of youth. After I read it, grinning ear-to-ear, I thought "finally, a story for the rest of us, something I can really relate to." So brava, Roz Lee for enchanting me ... and making me run to the freezer for some ice cubes to cool my fevered brow.
