ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 29, 2015

When it comes to Julien, Amelia doesn’t know what’s really going on between them. Friends with benefits? Client with benefits? All she knows is she’s being blackmailed out of her company by her ex-boss, Derek Wiggleby, even as he tries to ruin her chances of being Julien’s lover.

As for the hot movie director himself, Julien, Amelia feels like nothing more than a reprieve, a place to unleash and find comfort after a long day’s work. Yet there are moments when he opens, revealing a vulnerable interior that offer glimpses – and hope – that their affair may mean something more to him.

In the end, Amelia is forced to make a decision, will she choose to keep her company and a roof over her head or lose the man she has yet to admit she’s fallen in love with?

REVIEW: THE CORSET MAKER volume 2 is the second installment in K.T.Frederick’s serialized novella series focusing on costume designer/corset maker Amelia Jacobs, and film director Julien Wolfe. Their continuing story finds Amelia falling deeper in love with a man whose secrets he keeps close to his heart. Volume 2 should not be read as a stand alone as each successive release builds upon the information revealed in the previous installments.

Told from first person point of view (Amelia) Volume 2 follows the building relationship between Amelia and Julien-a forbidden relationship considering Julien is about to contract with Amelia’s company as the sole costume designer for his new blockbuster movie. But Amelia and her partner Chloe are being blackmailed by someone from their past-a former professor and employer who demands everything that Amelia has and is hoping to obtain. If Amelia doesn’t sign over her company to Derek Wiggleby, the man in question will release intimate photographs of Julien and Amelia.

THE CORSET MAKER Volume 2 is a sexually graphic story line with numerous $ex scenes between Julien and Amelia. Julien’s past is a continuous dark cloud hovering over our couple’s future together; and Amelia is told to walk away from the man with whom she is falling in love to protect him from future heartbreak and betrayal. The premise is intriguing; the characters are caught between love and loss; the romance is slowly revealing a darker side to our story line hero-Amelia wants to know if she is a temporary fling or something more.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 17, 2015

Most girls love wearing elaborate costumes and sultry corsets, but twenty-one-year-old Amelia Jacobs prefers cinching waists and creating perfect hourglass figures for her models and actresses. Jobs for costume designers in New York City are few and far between, so Amelia waits tables to pay her bills.

Everyone wants the elusive Julien Wolfe to direct their film, but he refuses to speak to anyone about his troubled past in Hollywood royalty. Wolfe’s next blockbuster is Amelia’s dream commission: a bodice-ripping time-travel film. But a lot of designers are vying for the job, and they’d be only too happy to see Amelia come apart at the seams.

Three days before her pitch, a perilous mistake forces Amelia to take desperate (and indecent) measures to land the deal and avoid eviction. And that’s just one of her problems.

Just when things can’t possibly get worse, Amelia does the worst thing of all and falls for the emotionally unreachable director.

REVIEW: THE CORSET MAKER volume one is the first installment in K. T. Frederick’s contemporary, new adult, romance serial focusing on costume designer Amelia Jacobs, and film director Julien Wolfe.

Told from first person point of view (Amelia) volume one introduces the players and some of the background of K.T. Frederick’s THE CORSET MAKER. Amelia is a costume designer who, along with her best friend Chloe, is struggling to make ends meet. An accidental meeting with the elusive director Julien Wolfe, at his latest movie premier finds Amelia literally falling for her childhood crush, and the man who could make or break her costuming career. Her upcoming appointment with Julien’s team, to show off her latest designs, finds our heroine caught between a possible scandal and the prospect of losing her young company to someone from her past.

THE CORSET MAKER is an intriguing storyline with relatable characters, a building romance, and the requisite evil with ties to Amelia’s past. We are introduced to Julien Wolfe whose reputation precedes his meeting with Amelia; and Chloe, who is Amelia’s best friend, and fellow designer who pushes Amelia to go for what she wants. Amelia is no stranger to the Hollywood lifestyle, and we get some information about her earlier years as she reflects upon her own mother’s success and failures behind the screens.

K. T. Frederick reveals just enough information to make you sit up and take notice; wanting more.
