About the Book

After the suicide of her husband, Allen Stolz, Kathryne Kassell, a foreign language and music teacher, finds herself totally unprepared for a life as a single woman. She did not expect to become widowed at a fairly young age, and she feels both sad about and angry that Allen didn’t ask her permission to kill himself. After a brief mental breakdown, Kathryne returns home and has to deal with the financial mess with which Allen left her. She consults a financial advisor, Rick Liberani, who was a former friend of Allen’s, in order to make sense of all the debts Allen had left behind. Upon entering Rick’s office, she is totally unprepared for the overpoweringly sexual effect Rick has on her. When she discovers that Rick had an equally potent reaction to her as a woman, she has to decide whether or not to become involved with his magnetic but unavailable man. Throwing caution to the wind, she embarks on a tempestuous and unbelievably erotic affair with Rick only to find out that Rick isn’t the man she thought he was and that she has to make decisions each time their relationship develops further. To make matters more difficult, another sexy man enters her life, a man who reminds her very much of her late husband Allen and who will not take “No” for an answer. Will Kathryne be able to choose between these two very different men? That is what you will need to find out as you read this compelling novel.

Customer Reviews

"A very dear friend introduced me to this astounding book. I was so grateful to her because it told the story of Rick a narcissistic man that abused Katheryn. I have also experienced an abusive narcissist man for six years. No one realizes the magnitude of pain a narcissist person can bring to your life, until you?ve experienced it. These men have a phenomenal charisma that draws you into their world. Lies, manipulation, negative emotions and entitlement are just a few of the traits endured. They manipulate you in such as way as to keeping your hopes up . The book was well thought of and well written .Ms Power did an exceptional job of expressing the true life that Katheryn lead. Thank you"

"As a guy, I like to read pornography, and there is a lot of it in this book. I also can understand how Kathryne, the main female characyter, who suffered from PTSD after her husband killed himself, didn't want to be alone. But, it was hard for me to understand how a man like Rick attracted her as well as so many other women with his bizarre personality and sexual desires. After all, his sexual tastes were pretty far out and he came across like an arrogant, controlling pervert who played on vulnerable women's emotions. I had to come to the conclusion that Kathryne fell in love with him because he was exciting to her and also unavailable, and that this sort of thing happens probably more often in real life than people realize. I have to commend the author for her openness and for having the courage to tell a very unconventional story in an interesting and well-written manner. C Ward"

"Knowing the author I was impressed by her honesty and fearlessness. The book did not sugar coat things, the erotic parts felt reality based, rather then a sexy fantasy (which is often unrealistic). The emotional highs and lows were felt, it was not boring (a real 'page turner'. The book also showed a certain life style in a non-judgmental and at times humorous way."

Emily Robin
"MOTH TO A FLAME: FORBIDDEN LOVE was a real page turner. I could identify with Kathryne, the female protagonist, because I, too, was a moth to a flame while I was involved with a very complicated, mercurial man who was similar to the male protagonist, Rick, in this novel. Although my lover wasn't as kinky as Rick, he certainly had me on a romantic roller coaster. I think every woman who gets involved in a complex romantic relationship should read this novel if they can tolerate some of the pornography therein. There is pornography in this novel, but it didn't bother me because it was real. E.J. Hall"

"This was one of the most original books I've ever read. To be honest, at first I was put off by all the discussions about anal sex, but then I thought to myself that it took a lot of courage on the part of the writer to talk about such a controversial subject and to equate the anal sex she had with her man with love. The story line was definitely interesting, and I also appreciated the fact that the main male character, Rick, wasn't your typical perfect hero but was instead a kind of a rogue. I also appreciated the fact that Kathryne, the major female character was naive yet likable in her own way. Kudos to Ms. Power for writing such an unusual book. I highly recommend it to people who aren't terribly prudish."

"I am not much of a reader. I don't enjoy reading books for pleasure. But, I picked up this book one night (many thanks to the author for my copy) and I didn't put it down until I was finished, which happened to be at 3:30 in the morning! Any woman who has been in this kind of a situation, or even in one remotely like it, can truly understand and appreciate all the confusion, delusion, and emotions that happen. The author couldn't have explained them better! I'm thankful that the author opened herself up like this, even though this was all very private for her. It lets us, ones who are or have been in this situation, know that we aren't crazy, for we all have felt the same way at one time or another. I'm blessed to have met the author and developed a close acquaintance with her. I am forever grateful for the signed copy of her book. Kelly
