Elaine White's Life in Books

The Author

 

 

Elaine White is the author of multi-genre MM romance, celebrating 'love is love' and offering diversity in both genre and character within her stories.

Growing up in a small town and fighting cancer in her early teens taught her that life is short and dreams should be pursued. She lives vicariously through her independent, and often hellion characters, exploring all possibilities within the romantic universe.

The Winner of two Watty Awards – Collector's Dream (An Unpredictable Life) and Hidden Gem (Faithfully) – and an Honourable Mention in 2016's Rainbow Awards (A Royal Craving) Elaine is a self-professed geek, reading addict, and a romantic at heart.

 

The Reviewer

 

I’m an author and reader, who just can’t get away from books. I discovered the MM genre a few years ago and became addicted.

** I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK, BY THE AUTHOR, IN RETURN FOR AN HONEST REVIEW **
Reviewed for Divine Magazine


Wow. I'm not even sure what to say. This one just left me totally...speechless.

A rollercoaster of emotion, had me crying a few times in so few pages and such wonderful world building and exploration of characters. I've read books in the 2-300 pages length that haven't given me the emotion that this 26 page story did.

Between Alec, the feisty, sex-fuelled vampire; Kai, the 'Nightmare' flame with a heart of gold; and Mama Bennu, the woman with fire, love and compassion, I didn't know where to turn. Every character was a rainbow of emotion, depth and soul, only making this story so much the better.

Now, usually an ending at 90% would have me frustrated or annoyed. But this story was done. This story gave me everything I wanted and needed in the space it took up. It didn't need that extra 10%. But I needed it, to collect myself and finally breathe easy again, after the end of that incredible story.

I will now happily instant-buy anything Deja Black releases in the future. No questions asked.
