Eris writes subversive romance for people who hate romance novels. She writes fiction in whatever genre suits the tale that needs telling: historical, fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, or anything that bends a little askew from expectations. Her stories are the stomping grounds for badass heroines, untamable alphas, a spectrum of sexuality and a serious disregard for convention. Sometimes light and humorous, often dark and intense, if you’re looking for a break from reality, Eris writes for you.

What Readers Are Saying
★★★★★
“If you loved “Beauty and the Beast” you will love “Gallows Pole”…“★★★★★
“The writing is beautifully gritty. The descriptions of the time period take you directly into each scene and don’t let you go until the chapter is over. Excellent work. Full of unexpected twists and turns.“★★★★★
“This story was just superb, from the spot-on world building to the realistic characters. I’m feeling all the feels and spouting all the good adjectives, and I’m off to find every other thing this author has written!! Loved it!!“★★★★★
“I am obsessed with this story! Entertaining from start to finish, a beautiful, complicated romance between two very engaging personalities. Emmat is a wild, self-possessed criminal, and the Hangman… he’s intriguing and mysterious, sensual and captivating. I was on the edge of my seat. My favorite tale of 2016!“★★★★★
“I love this story! Eris Adderly’s writing is always top-notch, but the thing that stood out for me in this story was the story theme – love isn’t just for the pretty people. Bridget is pock-marked and plain, John is missing a leg. These two people don’t think that love is for them, but love finds them, nonetheless. The book was sweet and steamy, and an excellent, page-turning read!“★★★★★
“I loved this story! Real people in a fantasy world, not the fairy tale couple but the couple that you might have overlooked without Eris Adderly’s expert writing to bring them to vibrant life. Every scene is ripe with development which makes a rather quick read full of spirit! John Bone is the kind of guy you hope you’d run into at the local bar, and he can cook (win!) and Brigit is the girl you’d want to show up at that bar with. Real people who can definitely have some hot, sexy fun! Throw in some pirates, salty talk, and life on a ship? Who wouldn’t want to live a while in this world?!“★★★★★
“I don’t want to gush, but… HOLY hot roses! This book is so good! I’d read her work before, but I was really stunned by the quality of the writing— it’s some of the best writing I’ve read in ANY genre. It’s well-researched, the story is compelling, the characters are terrific (I have a serious crush on Benjamin), and all of the above act as a believable backdrop for some very hot sex scenes. I was actually surprised by the sheer wealth of sex scenes, as well as the author’s ability to integrate them seamlessly into the story. It never feels unnatural.Fair warning: Do NOT try reading this at work!“

“This story, for me was a page Turner. It has STEAMY SEX, Humor,and heartache. I found it to be a Great Read.”★★★★★
“Eris Adderly has a gift of drawing the reader in with her word play, whether it’s leaving you panting from elegantly erotic descriptions or laughing at a bit of well timed humor.”★★★★★
“There is a tongue-in-cheek charm in most of Eris Adderly’s writing for several good reasons: she does her research, she enjoys her characters, and she allows her quirky humor to come out in the right places. … Ms. Adderly is a very intelligent writer with a remarkable humor. Her quality is consistent in all her works as she cares enough to do it right.”★★★★★
“Beautifully written, wonderfully paced and had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. … Deliciously dark and wickedly woven, I will certainly be reading this tale again and again. ”★★★★★
“It’s disturbing, and dark, but also sad, sweet and amazing. I loved this story and in some ways it is the best example of Eris’s writing abilities that I have read so far (and I think I have read everything she has published) because it feels so, so real and it is so very clever.”★★★★★
“Ms. Adderly’s writing is brilliant – she uses colorful, descriptive language that keeps to the period without fail, and creates intriguing characters that you come to root for right from the start. This story is romantic and realistic at the same time, and the juicy scenes serve to remind us all that imperfect people can have damn crazy hot sex just like the best of them! “

“I found myself staying up WAY TOO LATE because this book is HOT. But it’s not just a bodice ripper of sexy proportions, no, each character actually has (Dare I say it about erotica?) … development! A back story! Emotions and characteristics that make you care about them! … The end is also super badass and made me want to high five my kindle. You’ll love it, I swear.”★★★★★
“… apart from the juicy sexytimes that I want to savour forever, we also have a feisty female lead who thank goodness isn’t a meek annoying woman (can’t stand those), a brilliantly well written plot, scary villain, and all round perfect read. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed reading this, in fact I suspect it will become a fast favourite of anyone who loves romance, sex, adventure and great storytelling. ”★★★★★
“There is a tongue-in-cheek charm in most of Eris Adderly’s writing for several good reasons: she does her research, she enjoys her characters, and she allows her quirky humor to come out in the right places. … Her quality is consistent in all her works as she cares enough to do it right. I recommend this book as well as the other stories she’s written. The writing is meant to get one hot and bothered (and it did for this reader), but if you’ve an interest in using your brain as well, you are rewarded richly for giving her a try.”★★★★★
“Hard, hot, dirty-talking pirates with questionable morals, dark secrets and no problem sharing? Oh yeah, there’s all that AND a captivating story as well. It’s like your grandmother’s bodice ripper but with threesomes, dark moments and tattoos.”“Flawlessly executed. A chilling, and darkly erotic tale that just spiraled further and further into guilty depravity. … It’s so beautifully macabre.”
~ Dr. Awkward, Author of Chasing the Dragon
“I love how Eris draws you into her characters’ heads and makes you feel like you’re there and part of it all and when she writes sex, she has a way with words that pulls you into the scene and makes you feel it like you are experiencing it yourself. She just has this way of describing situations and feelings that is spot on. And even though this story is dark, it’s also touching and sweet and romantic and I couldn’t stop reading it. Right up until the last paragraph I didn’t know how this ride was going to end, and I won’t spoil it, but wow!! It was so good.”
~ Clare A., Amazon.com reviewer

“The Devil’s Luck has everything I want in a good read, and is without question, the hottest pirate-themed book I’ve ever encountered. Eris Adderly weaves a flawless plot, complete with historically accurate facts and settings, accents, and clothing (as frustrating as all those layers are, at times!) The writing is spectacular and makes for and incredibly enjoyable read, even without all the hotness permeating every single page. Of which there is great abundance, due to the DUO of sexy pirates I’ve come to love more than is healthy or normal. … What’s more, the ending of The Devil’s Luck will leave you not with a book hangover, but with this happy glow that won’t leave you for days.”~ Myra Danvers, Author of The Last Tritan
“Fantastic story telling and super-hawt hanky spanky – what more could a girl want?”
~ Anne A. Lois, Author of Whiskey & Rye
“You are definitely a favorite author of mine now! Lusciously written and made me want to keep reading and reading! You ended it so beautifully, but now I have to devour your other stories!!! So good!”
~ Jennifer Bene, Author of Security Binds Her
