Wetter the Better by Whitney Wes (2 Reviews)    Price verified 3 minutes ago

READ FOR FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED Stacy had resolved in her mind that whatever Miranda wanted, she was going to get. For a long time she had been watching her, admiring her from a distance, but that night, she planned to let it all go. Stacy wanted Miranda and over the previous months, she had shown remarkable restraint. Miranda reached her hand up to Stacy's face, touching and caressing with the back of fingers. Stacy responded by taking her hand and kissing it. First she kissed the back of her hand and then turned it over and kissed the palm of her hand. The sensation was a new one for Miranda, but it caused her to swoon ever so slightly. Stacy's kisses moved up the inside of Miranda's forearm, to her bicep, and finally, their lips almost touching. Miranda involuntarily opened her mouth a little, hoping that soon she would be accepting Stacy's tongue. Stacy touched Miranda's lips with hers and they both shuddered from the pleasure. Stacy darted her tongue out lightly and ran it across Miranda's soft and supple lips. The anticipation was driving Miranda crazy and starving for more of Stacy. She pushed her face into Stacy's and Stacy began to sample the inside of Miranda's mouth with her tongue. Miranda reached around to the back of Stacy's head and grabbed a handful of her blonde locks and tugged on it, pulling her head back for Miranda. Stacy's neck smelled of heaven, her skin soft and supple. Miranda licked and kissed the exposed neck, savoring it with her tongue. Stacy growled a bit and then reached up and started playing with Miranda's nipples. She pinched, rubbed, and kneaded them between her fingers and Miranda was dizzy from the pleasure.

What people are saying about Flynt & Steele: ------------------------------Reader can't put down the Flynt & Steele series! ????? "Flynt is one of my favorite new characters to show up in fiction. I love the things he blurts out. Even he thinks they are inappropriate, but they are also usually true. This guy will likely do for folks on the autism spectrum what Monk did for OCD" - Scott Ellis ????? "It is a great human study on each person's strengths and weaknesses. I was cheering for them both by the end of the book" - Julie Rowe ????? "A well written and good police procedural written by these two authors. In this sometimes humorous, most times thought provoking novel, it proves the oft misleading thoughts people have of one another. I highly recommend this book to anyone willing to ride the new roller coaster of this new series of these two great detectives: Flynt and Steele" - (Rachelle) Rae Long

Before he even knew what happened, I had him flat on his back on the bed, undoing the buttons on his shirt and raining kisses down his chest. "My god... you don't waste any time." I peeled open that shirt, went after the belt and tossed that and his gun over onto the other bed. I unbuttoned his pants and then looked up at him, as I pulled down his zipper with just my teeth. He lifted his ass, as I tugged at the waistband and drew it down past his legs and over his ankles. It hung precariously off of one leg, but it made it easier for me to push apart his knees to see that towering power of manhood. It was exactly the way that I envisioned it, except for the dollop of cream that was now escaping from the top. "I just want you to lie there and take it. If you try to move, then you will regret it." My voice was hoarse and I could tell that he knew that I was serious about what I was saying.

He looked at me with surprise, but he did not try to stop me. I think he was starting to learn a valuable lesson. I was the one in control. If he tried to take that control back, then he was going to find himself with fierce opposition.

A Taste of Ecuador: The Collected Stories of Eugenia Viteri by Eugenia Viteri (4 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

These heartwarming stories from Ecuador celebrate the humanity in us all. The motivations which lead me to write stories about my surroundings were rooted in a tremendously unequal and unjust society where many people could only dream of happiness and affection. My characters have lives that are as different as the disparate realities they face without any immediate opportunities to improve their conditions. Many of the poorest people were born into and grew up living in situations which they did not choose, yet they must take responsibility for them. For me, writing is a genuine act of love, an expression of solidarity, of comprehending the incomprehensible. I love everything I have written even the successes and the shortcomings, because I left pieces of my soul in all of it. I do not know the exact role of literature, but if it can help someone in the world grow as a human being, then it is worthwhile.

The Castle of Desires by Neale Osborne (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Set foot inside the Castle of Desires... then enter the sun-drenched valley of Pineville... where the creepy secretive servant Cornelius lurks around every corner of the mind... where the brutal charismatic Max muscles his way into everyone's lives... 'The Castle of Desires' is Neale Osborne's first novel for older readers, a unique 'double-bill' of interweaving tales: one, an allegory about a magical castle that will bring the keyholder all he desires ~ wealth, knowledge, servants, lovers, leisure, power, and a military empire... The second is a tale set in a cartoon studio in 1930s California, the era of early Hollywood and pioneering Disney animation. The narrative revolves around ten-year-old Jemima, and her 'family' of artists, whose seemingly idyllic existence is forever transformed by the arrival of a hired extra, Maximilian Richter - 'an earthquake of a man' who stirs up a storm of fears, vice and violence... The cast of characters moves through scenes hinting at different film genres: action, gangster, noir, horror, home movie, musical, romance, and documentary - there's even a cartoon interlude - till the fictional stories of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, the myth of the Thunderbird, and the tale of 'The Castle of Desires' itself seem to bleed into the 'real world' with tragic consequences...

In the future, an exotic, soignée, and private nightclub catering to the privileged, The Black Orchid, somewhere in the city, is the shadowed stage upon which the mystifying rituals of desire and fear play out for the lives of a group of interconnected people divulging and shaping their destinies. Alexandar, a wealthy man who is the epitome of male beauty and sexuality, is the host to a constellation of mysterious figures who are ensorcelled in a bizarre tango-esque drama -- unknown to all of them. The eccentric company arrives to this mise-en-scène from all corners of the world and discovers that they are strangely bound together by hate, evil, sex, lust, or love. Among this assortment of spellbinding characters is Alexandar, the powerful, rakish co-owner of The Black Orchid; the witchlike Saha, also co-owner of the nightclub with Alexandar, who possesses a disorienting sway over the peculiar entourage; Joshua, menacing and brutal, holds court with the avaricious, the wicked, and the saintly; the enigmatic veiled Ariadne, mystically beautiful, is a temptress who has beguiled the past, the present, and the approaching future. And, divinely, Brontis, Ariadne's stepson, an incandescent stunningly beautiful young man, is the harbinger of the Secret's Secret. In the guise of a search for truth, the guests on this stage of light and darkness are by turns victims and victimizers performing a ritual-ceremony of desire and fear that mingles sex and lust with the innermost mysteries of the Garden of Something called God. If the subject of sex, or deflowering language offends you, do not read this book. But if you do, don't be afraid to look deep within yourself as you read Desire and Fear. These words, that you shall encounter, are the blueprint of your soul, if you believe that you have one. This is not a pretentious pronouncement. Desire and Fear is an avenue upon which all souls do travel.

Joe does not know that the woman, Dr Sarah Grainger is a scientist who has decided to run away from her job at a biotech company. He knows only that he does not like seeing the woman forced to accompany two men against her will. His decision to intervene triggers a series of events that neither he nor Dr Grainger could have foreseen. Excerpt: My neighbour was still staring into her G&T, oblivious of the new arrivals. The next moment they were both heading in our direction. When they were just a few paces from my table, she glanced up. Her expression registered shock and fear. Horse-face stopped right opposite me. "Please to stay seated, Sir. This is official business," he said. I couldn't place the accent. Belarus or something from that area, Serbian maybe. I'm better at placing Middle East accents. I was marginally impressed that he'd pegged me as potentially troublesome, but not surprised. My size tends to trigger that kind of reaction. His companion smiled at the woman. It looked like the kind of smile a cobra might give to a mouse. "Now, Ms Grainger," he said, emphasizing the Ms, "don't do anything foolish. You know you have to come with us." The woman looked around wildly. She seemed in a total panic. She looked like any second, she'd make a break for it, which wouldn't go well for her.

It encompasses the author's experiences in volunteer community service and personal friendships during a tragic period in American history. The novel is dedicated to the Hyacinth AIDS Foundation, the NAMES Project and to the author's own fallen angels. "Mothers, do not shun your children, because you never know how long you have to revel in them." PROFESSIONAL REVIEWS: Review from Rainbow Reviews This is an intensely emotional story about a young couple that falls in love, only to face the AIDS crisis instead of matching pink rockers on the porch. At a time when the government was refusing to acknowledge the crisis and the immortality of youth cast a protective pall over young gay men, this couple must cope with a horrible disease and the ramifications within their family and larger community.

Red Lights by Garry Crystal (Beat Corrida NY) (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

A series of near-death accidents and a personal tragedy leaves a traumatized man convinced that the responsibility for his life and death is beyond his control. A thoughtless left-turn one morning marks the beginning of a road trip to a remote, mountainous area of Norway. Before reaching his final destination, an unexpected encounter with a face from the past brings a psychological struggle where recriminations and guilt battle with an unwillingness to deal with or understand the past. Red Lights is an exploration of death, loss, trauma, belief, non-belief and personal responsibility, and how these factors can determine the path of your life. "There are times when I imagine what it must have been like, submerged, floating below the surface, watching the sunlight sparkle across the water above. And every time I imagine it, I sense peace, serenity. But that's perhaps a lie I tell myself, because death has never struck me as a particularly easy ride. That was the first time I almost died. It's the only memory I have of that holiday. And yet, even now, when I'm standing next to a lake or a sea or an ocean, and no matter how cold it is, the waters always look warm to me." "Addiction is a battle between love and hate. My therapist was right about that." 'We find ways of protecting ourselves, of shifting blame, of burying emotions until the dam bursts and the weight of guilt and regret acts as an anchor, pulling us under. And it's at that point we make the decision, the choice, to simply give in and allow that weight to become the one thing above all that defines us.'
