Life in the Institute is disrupted
by two door-to-door evangelists.
You have all seen them. Dark
suits, ties and a brief-case, making
a nuisance of themselves as they
seek converts. But these strange
people are not what they seem.
They are scouts for the Dark Light,
and Light o'Love quickly finds
herself fighting for her life against
forces she does not understand.
Light o'Love's friends in the Institute do their best to protect her, but in the end she will have to face her enemies alone.
Studying love and witchcraft at university was always going to be difficult, but Shirley’s life is made much more dangerous when Dr Rostov of the Dark Light stalks her. She fights him off but finally submits to being the bait in a trap to catch him.
Jacqueline writes:
I had a lot of fun writing Light o'Love. The story is set around the Jane Flockman Institute of Political Science and Ethics, attached to Liverpool University. That all sounds pretty boring, but the Institute is actually a leading centre for training witches - and that is much more fun.
Our heroine, Light o'Love, is a tough
young woman, up from the country
and surprised to find herself in the
adult world of the Institute. She had
expected to study a normal foundation
year but finds herself thrown into an
exciting and dangerous crisis as the
forces of the Dark Light try to force
their way into the Institute and crush it.
Liverpool is a great place to be a student. I should know - I studied Geography there. It is easy to get to the mountains of North Wales and of the Lake District, and Light o'Love enjoys walking in the mountains as much as I did.
The Jane Flockman Institute
Light o'Love is attracted to a brilliant young lecturer from Romania - Dr Rostov. It does not take him long to seduce her with good food and good music, but she soon understands he is only
using her.
The church at Dara, near Snina in Eastern Slovakia, where Jane Flockman lies buried.
Rostov's bike - a Brough Superior. Lawrence of Arabia also loved these bikes and was killed on one in 1935.

Light goes from being a shy, intimidated country girl, to a woman in command of her powers. She loves to love, no matter the age or gender, and finds growth in each experience. This story is quite a unique take on witches and their craft, making it an all-around entertaining read.

Jacqueline George's Light o'Love is simply spectacular!
Initially, I was attracted by the interesting setting of the The Jane Flockman Institute of Political Science and Ethics, and the haunts in and around Liverpool. What I found was a memorable story about the supernatural world thriving around us.
Jacqueline's elegant prose teases readers with sensual descriptions of characters who come from all over the spectrum and each and every one are part of the Institute's eclectic family. While the story focuses on the coming of age and sexual awakening of Shirley Grainger, Light o'Love, the work features loving and amusing older characters who are the heroine's teachers and friends. It's rare to come across a work of erotic literature with mature couples but Jacqueline created such attractive and vibrant pairs I found them to be just as delightful as the young lovers!
Light begins as a pupil but she evolves into a guide for her classmates who are also studying The Craft and testing the waters of the adult world. The young women soon realize the dangers of witchcraft which come from attracting members of the Dark Light.
The heroine, with all her erotic adventures and looming perils around her and the school still has a degree of innocence derived from her altruism. Light's "voice" impressed me as being completely believable and she is such a fun character. I hope a sequel is in the works. Light's very goal is to reach out to heal people around her with love and in doing so she touched me as a reader and brought a smile to my face.

Light o'Love Shines!
Enter a world in which a couple of guys from Alice, Texas, interrupt the tranquil and smooth goings on at The Jane Flockman Institute. But this is no ordinary institute. In this institute the students may study mundane subjects like Geopolitics, and Geophysics, but it is mainly an institute for those who want to perfect their witchcraft skill.
Skills that involve such things as: card reading, fortune telling, and if you are like the main character, Light o'Love herself, then you just might be one of the most powerful witches around.
Set in Liverpool, England around 1968, the story follows our Light o'Love heroine as she seeks to not only use her skills to help out her fellow man, but ultimately saves herself and the Institute from the evil claws of the villainous Professor Rostov.
For Rostov is intimidated by our Light o'Love's skill of a little mind control, and she also senses and is able to fend off evil at a moment's notice. But all that seems to change one day when Rostov captures Light o'Love.
Come and see how Light o'Love is capable of disabling a couple of 'toys', gets herself out of this dangerous situation she finds herself in with Rostov, and is still able to not only save the day, but also the Institute and her friends and other professors at the Institute.
It's a delightful tale, well told. I enjoyed reading it, and I hope you do as well.
