Spicy Romance
Jody Ortiz started her career in writing spicy romance in 2012, and was published in 2016 with her debut novel, My Knotty Jolene. The book has undergone a few iterations after she regained her rights in 2020 and was published under Jolene’s Adonis briefly to separate it from the bad publishing experience.
The book is part of a series with book two, Amy’s Maiden Voyage coming soon.
The series is extra spicy, 18+, with a dominant/submissive premise set in a nautical paradise on the Gulf of Mexico.
Writer’s Digest contest Judge’s notes from 2014
My Knotty Jolene rating 3.6 out of 5
“My Knotty Jolene by J. Jaden is a story filled with scenes that will titillate erotica lovers and put a blush on the cheeks of those who don’t know what they’ve gotten themselves into when they open this book. The author shows skill with all the technical pointes of writing ie grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. All the dialogue rings true to each person speaking.”

Meet Jolene
Pictured left is the updated cover, designed by the author.
When Jolene Brown’s domineering husband dies under suspicious circumstances, she’s left with nothing… except freedom. But freedom isn’t simple.
Adrift and vulnerable, Jolene crosses paths with a powerful woman who opens her eyes to a world where control and surrender blur. For the first time, Jolene begins to reclaim the pieces of herself long buried beneath fear and obedience.
Then Orlando sails into her life. Charismatic. Mysterious. Dangerous. He stirs something primal in her - a hunger, a fire. But he’s not just a fantasy. He’s part of something darker and trusting him could unravel everything.
Power. Pleasure. Control.
Who holds the leash when desire takes over?
Coming soon, Amy’s Maiden Voyage. The story continues with Amy’s perspective as she begins her new life with her newfound love.
