'Fantastically good fun - sharp, sexy and intelligent . . . Something of a masterpiece' Sunday Mirror

'Not to Miss!' Marie Claire

'Even more dangerous, shocking and provocative than its predecessor: A book that begs to be devoured in one sitting!' Reader's Digest

THE GLOBAL THRILLER PHENOMENON

Judith Rashleigh has made it. Living in luxury amidst the splendours of Venice, she's finally enjoying the life she killed for.

But someone knows what Judith's done.

Judith can only save herself by finding a priceless painting - unfortunately, one that she's convinced doesn't even exist.

And she's not the only one seeking it.

This time, Judith isn't in control. Outflanked and out-thought, outrun and outgunned, she faces an enemy more ruthless and more powerful than she ever imagined.

And if she doesn't win, she dies.

PRAISE FOR MAESTRA

'Deliciously decadent . . . a glamorous and racy adventure' Sunday Mirror

'Set in a world of oligarchs, Mafiosi and dodgy art dealers, it also has in Judith Rashleigh a heroine you'll either love or loathe, at least two jaw-on-the-floor moments and sex scenes that would make Christian Grey blush' Red magazine

Reviews
DOMINA included in a feature by Sarra Manning on the best new thrillers to look out for in 2017- 'The sequel to last year's bestseller, Maestra, Domina sees the return of Judith Rashleigh in what author, LS Hilton, describes "as the calm before the storm." * Redmagazine.co.uk *
DOMINA picked as a big book of 2017 - 'Smart and sexy heroine Judith Rashleigh returns in the second of three psychological thrillers from the author of Maestra.' * The Sun *
'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 *
'There's still plenty of lifestyle porn, actual porn and murder, but the glimpses into Judith's formative years and the loss of her hard-won control means that Domina packs a powerful emotional punch.' * Red Magazine *
'from the best-selling author of Maestra comes the gripping follow up' * Bella Magazine *
In the follow-up to last year's Maestra, heroine Judith is caught up in a murderous conspiracy in the playgrounds of the super-rich. Glossy fun.' * Best Magazine *
'what we thought' book club picks- 'If you loved the first book, and all the name dropping, sex, fashion and the European high life, you'll love this...' * Grazia *
* 'Like its predecessor, Domina is great fun. It's sharp, sexy and intelligent with enough glossy locations and designer labels to deliver a nod to the classic bonkbusters of yesteryear but with a cleverly crafted plot driving the action. Add in a heroine you can't help falling for, and in terms of gloriously enjoyable escapist fiction, this art world caper is something of a masterpiece.' * The People *
'the character of Judith Rashleigh is a modern day anti-heroine. This is an unusual book...readable and entertaining' * Irish Examiner *
'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 *
With scandal, intrigue and mystery, this is a book that everyone is talking about. * I Read Novels *
Domina is a hoot and I must confess the series is becoming something of a guilty pleasure...you can't turn the page fast enough and the writing is full of hidden gems, irony and witty observations and Hilton's knowledge and interest in art, forgeries, the world of the super rich and the label-focused clothes and jewellery jumps out of the page and screams of authenticity...the books are fun, sexy to the max and remind me of Highsmith's Tom Ripley if he were a woman who truly relishes her evil ways. Don't read the reviews! -- Maxim Jakubowski * Love Reading *
For the thriller lover... it's quite a ride * New Zealand Herald *
Scandal, Intrigue and Mystery * The Hindu *
The sexy, smart and reckless Judith makes for an extremely brilliant protagonist...Hilton's writing gives you a living on the edge feeling and makes this book a fast paced thrilling read...the erotica is subtly played and the writing never loses focus from the actual story. * Matilda, Reader of Books *
A hot summer read. * Look Magazine *
'50 Shades is ludicrous trash, but the Maestra series is sheer, sinful pleasures perfection! Enjoy.' * QX magazine *
