Crush

Many romantic books are made for people longing for unconditional love and a happy ending. But there is only one written for single people stating that dating and finding the One isn’t that simple. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean all this searching can’t be a lot of fun, though. Part of this is sex. Sex is a good thing, and it doesn’t necessarily come with that strong feeling initially.

If you’re prudish, this story full of sex isn’t for you. If you’re too decent to read about violent death, keep yourself away. And if you think those can’t be mixed with humour, you’re very wrong. The usual men-women interactions are layered with soft porn details on nude girls making custom videos fulfilling sex fantasies for male buyers. Katty has a younger sister, Candy. She is a classic blond beauty that lives for her perfect husband. He cheats on her, he hits her, he humiliates her, and she is yet too blind to see a prick in him. Till the point that everything changed. One of them ended up dead. This isn’t the end of the story; it’s just the beginning.

I’m Katty. A woman in her late thirties struggling with the weight loss concept, but the truth is, I love my body. Not when looking at the mirror, but when looking into the eyes a handsome man pleased by what he sees when looking at me. My sister Candy is the typical beauty, but mostly I got the boys’ attention. My family sucks. Sometimes I feel like my life sucks, and there is one place I go to relax. It’s a black house, just like my old toy house, and in my eyes, it’s full of dark secrets. One day I discovered its mystery, and it was a big shock that changed my life. $9.00 on Kindle.

Jane Digby’s Diary: To Begin, Begin

Here is your chance to read someone else’s diary – with her permission, of course. Jane Digby was a woman ahead of her time. Born in 1807 to wealth and privilege in Dorset, England, she sacrificed respectability to travel the world in pursuit of true love, all the while sampling contenders along the way! Any reader of her diary (and yes, it is written as an actual diary) should love history and language and have an appreciation of independent women who chart their own paths.

This volume is the first in a completed four-part series which chronicles Jane’s life from seventeen to sixty-six. Though a modern work of historical fiction, I strived to recreate the historical Jane Digby and her times as accurately as possible. I would love for you to read it. CR
