L.S. Hilton grew up in England and has lived in Key West, New York City, Paris and Milan. After graduating from Oxford, she studied art history in Paris and Florence. She has worked as a journalist, art critic and broadcaster, and is presently based in London.
The sequel to last year's love-it-or-loathe-it bestseller, Maestra,
Domina sees the return of the murderous yet mesmerising Judith
Rashleigh. Reinventing herself as Elizabeth Teerlinc, Judith has
her own exclusive art gallery in Venice but soon finds herself
being blackmailed. There's still plenty of serious lifestyle porn,
actual porn and murder but the glimpses into Judith's formative
years and the loss of her precious, hard-won control means that
Domina packs a powerful emotional punch.
*Red Magazine*
Like a ritzy 50 Shades meets The Da Vinci Code. It's got sex,
shopping, a few Old Masters and plenty of murder - what more could
you want?
*Independent.ie*
Like its predecessor, Domina is fantastically good fun - sharp,
sexy and intelligent. This has a cleverly-crafted plot driving the
action, a heroine you can't help falling for and, as an enjoyable
escapist fiction, this is something of a masterpiece.
*Sunday Mirror*
I thoroughly enjoyed this second book in the Judith Rashleigh
trilogy and, regardless of today's deadline for this review, I just
couldn't put it down. The continual twists and turns of the plot
often caught me unaware and usually just when I thought I'd guessed
what happens next - a feeling I'm sure was mirrored in Judith's
character! I'm hopeful that I won't be waiting too long for the
eventual conclusion of this series, and I've not forgotten the
whispers of a film adaptation in the not too distant future!
*Tiggy Poes and Flutterbys*
Judith is strong, intelligent and sure of herself. She might have
had a very rough childhood but she isn't letting it define her or
make her a victim in any way whatsoever. It is that surety of what
she does, the understanding and not caring, her ambition and
striving for better which makes her such a fantastic and intriguing
character.
*The Stuart Review*
The author does have a great writing style, the book is
intelligent, nattily observed, well researched and L S Hilton can
certainly pull together an imaginative story. Judith is a flawed
character - empowering to some, hated by others...
*Trip Fiction*
Trailblazer L S Hilton's latest follow-up to the bestseller
Maestra. Domina is even more dangerous, shocking and provocative
than its predecessor: it luxuriates audaciously in all the things
we loved so much about Maestra: the sophistication of the art
world, the lush designer garments, the wickedness and raw sexual
energy of the main heroine are pushed here even further. A book
that begs to be devoured in one sitting!
*Reader's Digest*
It's unputdownable...it's so good I rationed myself while keeping
it from my greedy wife, so as to discipline her severely...I want
the next LS Hilton with an aching selfish yearning I do not feel
for the Man Booker list. Her social observations are nearly as neat
as Tom Wolfe's and her descriptions of sex very much better. In
fact Domina contains one of the most fabulously dirty passages I've
ever read. If that's not a stirring recommendation, I don't know
what is.
*The Amorist*
There are chic locales (Venice, St Moritz, Paris), nuzzling
hanky-panky and more double-crosses than the church of San Zan
Degolà as seen by a drunk Russian. Freed from the humiliation of
part one, Judith is a colder, less sympathetic proposition, but
intriguing nevertheless.
*South China Morning Post*
it is SO good...If you're not familiar with the title, it is the
sequel the L.S Hilton's 2016 novel 'Maestra'. I can only describe
it as Gone Girl meets Girl on the Train with a dash of Fifty
Shades, but so well written....relatable, educational, thrilling
and exciting. If you love art too, this book is for you.
*Memoirs Musings*
I loved this book, it was as addictive as the first and packed with
suspense...this second instalment also flicked to Judith's
childhood, building the complexity and depth of the main character
allowing the reader to fully understand how she has become the
strong and independent woman she is today.
*Chloe Douglas Blog*
Domina is a first class thriller packed with action, glamour, and
excitement. It is sexy, full of character, heart-racing chases and
moments that make you hold your breath. It's a novel to really dig
your teeth into.
*Live Ribble Valley*
A pulse-quickening thriller, the summer must-read from the new
mistress of mystery
*Porter Magazine*
50 Shades is ludicrous trash, but the Maestra series is sheer,
sinful pleasures perfection! Enjoy.
*QX Magazine*
if you want to have a bit of fun and delve into a world of sex,
murder and Russian oligarchs, Domina will satiate that
*The Pool*
It's an erotic thriller that is really well done, I recommend
it.
