Description
The cold war has ended, but the world is more dangerous than ever. In the tiny Indonesian province of East Timor, a storm is about to burst. Australia needs a man to see to its interests in the burnt out Timorese capital of Dili. But the only one they have is drowning in heartache a thousand miles to the south.
Can Jeremy Holland rise from his morass to be the man in Australia’s hour of need, and who is the Ghost of Timor? In the sweat soaked satin sheets of an exclusive Canberra hotel, Captain Jeremy Holland retells the tale of his adventurous and erotic life. Former paramour, Alison Benaud, newly liberated from her loveless and uneventful life, listens with intent.
As Jeremy unfurls the post-cold war erotic thriller story of the Ghost of Timor, Alison’s long repressed sexual desires reassert themselves. Is Jeremy the man to rescue her from a lifetime of boredom, or is he also hiding something?
Advance Praise
"“Ghost of Timor combines a wealth of story telling with well thought out erotic scenes and a multilayered narrative structure. It manages to deliver an intriguing reading experience. The storytelling is a definite highlight. The author’s ability to create a complex narrative that weaves together different timelines and perspectives is commendable. This approach adds depth and intrigue to the story. Where GoT truly shines is in its execution of erotic scenes. These moments are well conceived and skillfully written, catering to those who seek sensuality and passion in their reading. The author’s attention to detail and the chemistry between characters in these scenes adds a level of authenticity and enjoyment. While it may not align with traditional exotica it unique story telling will appeal to readers looking for something a bit different. It is a book that will benefit from a second read as its complex structure may reveal new layers and connections missed the first time.
“The twists and subplots are masterful as the reader is engrossed in the historic cliffhanger and the jealous nature of the love interest in the present. There is a fantastic sex scene built around an impending arrest. Not only does it have you on the edge of your seat but the characters in the book are also intriguing compelling them to listen to accounts of ex lovers in the arms of another woman.” - All the Filthy Details Podcast"

It is a quick and easy read. It has a unique plot. I thoroughly enjoy it.

This was a really well done thriller novel, it is meant for adults and I enjoyed how well it worked with the post cold-war setting. The characters felt like they belonged in this story and it was very spicy. I enjoyed the way Audrey Horne wrote this and can’t wait for more from the author.

This tale took me down under to Australia. It opens with a very erotic scene between two of the protagonists namely Alison and Jeremy. In fact, the entire novel is liberally spiced with erotic scenes. Horne took me back to a time when the cold war had just ended. But Australia had another large problem looming on its horizon in the shape of East Timor. The powers that be have chosen Captain Jeremy Holland to be the Australian saviour. The question is does he have what it takes to complete the task?
A military thriller with vivid scenes it would certainly appeal to those who like the erotica genre. The story is compelling and Horne weaves a riveting tale of sensuality and passion. There are numerous subplots which make for intriguing reading. Not very sure there’s a ghost in this tale though. They kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed reading about Australia and the other locales mentioned in the novel. This is book 2 in the series. I hadn’t read the first book but had no problem following the storyline.
