The story of an abused orphan developing into a beautiful, much loved and loving woman. There is little sex and what there is not detailed. What little violence there is is confined to part of one chapter and no one emerges more than bruised. / (Reviews)

A Variation On A Theme Story (1)
What if you had a second chance at life? Steve finds himself fourteen again, with a chance to do things differently. He quickly finds this new world isn't quite the same as the first time around. Can he make the most of this opportunity, and what does that even mean? Family, friends, love, growth, change, loss, heartache, sadness, recovery, joy, failure, success, and more mix and mingle in a highly character-driven story that's part do-over, part coming-of-age.

This is Noir: I hope I’ve covered the essentials: the femme fatale, the tough criminals, a cynical cop, an urban environment out of the zombie apocalypse, and night…the endless eternal night of Noir, along with seedy bars, run down coffee shops, seedy nightclubs, menacing alleys, and the luxury apartments and protected lifestyles of the obliviously wealthy as society crumbles around them, oblivious until that societal disintegration touches their lives. It's a slow burn...but there is sex. Later

Bobby happened to be in the right place at the right time and lost his virginity to a woman twice his age. He was a quick learner and soon he was ringing her bell regularly. Then one of her friends needed the same thing. And another friend after that, until Bobby was satisfying the needs of five women. That's a lot for a seventeen-year-old kid to handle. But maybe his best friend could help him out. And that was just the beginning.

Although starting in 1946 the bulk of the story takes place in 1960s England. It has a military background and tells of the joy and vicissitudes of a privileged couple's romance in England and Libya. A box of tissues would be a handy aid to the reader. / (Reviews)
