Looking for an Irish book

    A few years ago, around the time of 50 Shades etc., an Irish author (possibly from Bray / Wicklow) published a novel in the same vein. From what I recall, there was possibly a string of pearls on the cover, and her pen-name was Fanny something or other. That is not guaranteed to be right, but we think it is.

    A group of us read it when it came out and are desperately trying to find it again. Does it ring any bells??

    Fanny Blake?

    She's not Irish however.

    Fanny Howe...but she's American. Fanny Butcher, also American.

    John Cleland-Fanny Hill: Memoirs Of A Woman Of Pleasure...again, not Irish.

    Hardly, Evie Hunter - Pleasures of Winter ?

    It's a pen name for two ladies (one of them a boardsie) and they got a fair amount of press for their first book.

    Thanks so much for the suggestions, but nope.

    She's definitely Irish, and I am sure it was self-published, which is making the search a little trickier!
