Book Three of the Harry Wiggins Story-Strong BDSM!

This is the third book in the Klitzman's Isle series and continues the story of Harry Wiggins, a secret government operative who has infiltrated the international criminal conspiracy of a man know only as Klitzman. Klitzman's island is a paradise for callous and depraved men of wealth and power given free use of beautiful women captured and trained at the end of a whip to unquestioning sexual subservience. It is well written and abounds with scenes of sex and cruelty, while following Harry's adventures and his sometimes all too willing pretense at being one of Klitzman's henchmen.

Down And Dirty or Love And Lust

Note to Readers. This Blog piece was written by Maverick Majors one of my eBooks About Crew! 'Hornito' by Mike Albo. Although this eBook opens in the present, the story flashes back to childhood memories. At first, I was not interested in reading these flashbacks, as they distracted me from the main story. I wanted to identify with the main character as an adult and see how he resolves his problems. Particularly the problem of forming a real connection with someone in an urban, every-man-for-himself, artificial, market-segment of a world. Once I got into the book a bit, the childhood and teenage memories seemed more relevant, not to mention painful and at times, embarrassingly familiar. I found myself laughing aloud many times. 'Private Party' by Jami Alden. I have not read a sexy eBook in so long..Well, of this genre. I definitely picked the right one! I was expecting some romance and hot sex and I got it plus all the scandal. It is one of the best books I've read. The sex scenes are so good you can't wait until the next encounter. I can't wait to buy another book from this author.

Hornito eBook edition by Albo, Mike Juxtaposing a trip to his childhood home -- where he has retreated to try to make some sense of his hectic existence in New York City -- with memories of growing up gay in seventies suburbia, Albo creates "Mike Albo." This character's memories are from a fictitious life that's outrageous, hilarious, and embarrassingly real. From a typical suburban childhood to his perpetual search for true love, Albo evokes a poignant, nostalgic past and a vibrant, energetic present. By turns vulnerable and jaded, flamboyant and obsessive, Hornito is full of subversive humor and outrageous irony. › More Info Private Party eBook edition by Alden, Jami TURN UP THE HEAT Finding her brand-new husband in flagrante delicto with another woman wasn't part of Julie Driscoll's plan for her lavish wedding reception. Now she's a bride without a groom-but she's determined to have a wedding night with someone. Her cheating husband's gorgeous brother will do just fine. Chris Dennison is everything his brother isn't, and his hard body is the stuff the steamiest sexual fantasies are made of. › More Info

Romance eBooks

Before there were eBooks, I used to joke that my criteria for what I would read was whether or not it was printed. The dictionary, cereal boxes, newspapers or any old book I found lying around.— didn’t matter. But my ultimate favorite and long time guilty pleasure is Romance.

It started innocently enough, as these things do. I found a copy of Little Women. I stayed up all night (under the covers with a flashlight) to finish it. Before long I found Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.

But the real infatuation began when I found some Reader’s Digest Condensed book volumes and each of them had a Victoria Holt novel. They were riveting to a junior high student!

I read them over and over. Finally one of our neighbors took pity on me and gave me Rebecca. A couple of weeks later she gave me a big box of dirty paperbacks. That was a treasure trove! I found Mary Stewart, Anya Seton, Jean Plaidy and Georgette Heyer. By the time I was in high school I had “graduated” to books I wanted to hide from Mom (like Jacqueline Suzanne). And I read a whole lot of christian fiction for her to see.

Over the years I have indulged myself in suspensful and historical romances including Regency and Western stories. I have consumed chick lit, especially the British kind, since even before there was chick lit. And have recently started reading “hen lit” --- chick lit for us aging boomers.

I have taken alot of ribbing from my family and friends over the years about my Plebian taste in reading material. I won't apologize for what I like! And I point out to them that they watch trashy TV to escape. I read.

This week I am armed with numbers since I came across these statistics about last year's book sales numbers. I will point out the them that Romance:

• outsold every market category with the exception of religion/inspirational
• represents 26.4% of all books sold
• generated $1.37 Billion in sales Compare that to sci-fi/fantasy ($495 million), literary fiction ($448 million), and mysteries ($422 million)?

In case you're wondering about my weekend plans; here they are:

• Browse the eBooks About Romance Store to find the perfect book
• Buy it and get it downloaded on my eReader
• Settle down in my favorite armchair with a little food (preferably chocolate) and a box of tissues (the good ones make you cry at the end)
• Ignore the TV and the rest of the family
• Have a wonderful mini-vacation in a far away place where everything works out perfectly!
