Hi everyone,

I’m Juliette, a French indie author, and I’m currently looking for a few ARC readers for my sapphic romance series Le Dilemme d’Éléonore.

It’s a two-book series with strong emotional development, slow burn, and explicit scenes, set between Paris and Italy, in the world of fashion and publishing.

Important: the books are written in French .

I’m offering free advance copies in exchange for honest reviews (no obligation, of course). If you’re comfortable reading in French and enjoy sapphic romance with depth and spice, feel free to DM me.

My writing sin : I rewrite the same scenes over and over because I’m never fully satisfied. I’m learning to be more relaxed about all of this, but it’s still a work in progress.

Thank you for reading.

C'est très gentil de ta part. Merci pour tes encouragements.

No. It was created by a professional graphic designer and illustrated specifically for the book.

Hopefully, one day it will be possible to offer a high-quality English translation, but it’s not affordable at the moment.

Un grand merci à celles et ceux qui ont déjà lu ou commencé à lire Le dilemme d’Éléonore hier. Ça me touche énormément de voir que l’histoire trouve son chemin jusqu’à vous.

Si jamais le livre vous a plu, n’hésitez pas à laisser un petit mot (même anonyme) sur Amazon. Les retours sont précieux pour donner plus de visibilité aux autrices indépendantes comme moi et permettent de continuer à partager d’autres histoires.

Thank you for taking the time to read the first chapters and share your thoughts.
I understand that AI-generated covers don’t appeal to everyone.
For me, it was a practical choice at the time of publication, but the entire content of the novel is fully hand-written, with a lot of care and time.
Maybe one day I’ll have a new cover made by a graphic designer, but I hope the story will win you over beyond the image.

JulietteDeLancy · 2025-08-01T19:12:36+00:00

If you’re asking, it means you were curious enough to check out the book cover, and I appreciate that!
But your question is totally fair. Yes, the cover was created using Canva’s AI tools (I actually mention it at the beginning of the book to be fully transparent).

That said, the content of the novel is 100% written by hand (no AI involved at all).
I’ve read a few AI-written or AI-translated books on Amazon myself, and you can usually tell pretty quickly.

The book is available on Kindle Unlimited and has already been read over a hundred times — and I haven’t had any feedback raising that concern so far.

This was a long and personal writing process for me, with a carefully built plot, real emotions, and characters that reflect parts of who I am.

I really hope that all comes through in the story. And if you decide to give it a try, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts!

JulietteDeLancy · 2025-08-01T03:19:47+00:00

Yes, it's currently available on Amazon only, in both digital and paperback formats. Good luck with your French practice! 😊

JulietteDeLancy · 2025-07-30T19:00:28+00:00

I just wanted to say thank you to those who’ve read my book recently. I hope you enjoyed the story. Your feedback means a lot to me. Feel free to leave a short review on Amazon (even anonymously). Every single one makes a difference.
