Bess's life never went right. Her mother always called Bess her sad little accident. Her boyfriends demeaned her, killed her pets, and threatened violence on her. And becoming an Advertising Designer seemed always a little out of reach. So she thought that at least a marriage of convenience would work out.

She devised a three step program for success. Step One: Elope with her best friend from childhood, William Bryant. Step Two: Reap all the legal benefits of marriage and buy the house that William wants. Step Three: Never deal with love again.

But this strategy failed. After they get married, William slowly falls in love with her. When he confesses he fell in love with her because of her bed head and pajamas, it makes even less sense. Now Bess has to either face her unpleasant past with love or risk losing her best friend.

No Strings is a 80,000-word humorous Woman's Fiction.

Posting because this is probably the whitest complete book I have and while I like it, I don't want to officially publish it. It does deal with women, mental health (lightly), abusive relationships, and makes serious fun of Romance novels, Lifetime and Hallmark Channel as being unhealthy. The diversity is mostly on women. A few PoCs show up.

Year of the Chick (book 1 in the "Year of the Chick" series) by romimoondi
31 parts Complete
[NOTE: This book was written in 2010, a time of long-distance phone cards, weight-loss obsessions, and searching for a man as a solution to life's problems-what a messy time to be alive! In other words, I hope you enjoy this throwback, and while this book does end on a cliffhanger of sorts, the sequel addresses any unanswered questions (which is hopefully fair, given that book 1 is free, ya know?] An awkward family homecoming at Christmas. A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience. The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom. And that's just the first two chapters. In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband. Easy to say, less easy to live through, as this book takes you deep inside "awkward Indian living in the West." To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what ends up happening. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play. From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. --------------------------------------------- "Year of the Chick" is book one of a series, and book two is available at Amazon! LENGTH: 75,000 words or 285 pages DISCLAIMER: this book contains profanities, blunt accounts of the dating scene, and many awkward family moments. Enjoy!

This book is a RomCom book(Romance comedy). Read if you love laughing.😊 CURRENTLY EDITING AND WORKING ON RE-WRITING. PLEASE IGNORE SOME IMMATURE THINGS THAT THE CHARACTERS EXHIBIT. I'LL BE RE-WRITING THE BOOK AS SOON AS SCHOOL STRESS REDUCES A TAD BIT. Mia Montana has always had the fantasy of a perfect ever after. She believes she can find that in Dayne Matthews her current boyfriend. He is just that perfect person. It's him or no other. Jason Steele New York's most eligible billionaire bachelor. He is every ladies dream. But the problem is, he isn't looking for a long term commitment. Being a product of a failed marriage he believes love doesn't exist. Jason and Mia's grandfathers are best friends. When Mia's grandpa suffers from a mild heart attack, he realizes that there isn't much time left. But he has a wish, to see his grand daughter walk down the aisle. The problem is; he thinks Dayne isn't that man. He arranges with his best friend to match-make their grand children on the pretext of merging their companies. Jason and Mia refuse to compromise. So they strike a deal with them. "You both will live together for 30 days, if you don't fall in love with each other within those 30 days. You both can go your separate ways and marry whoever you want to marry". Found in between the devil and the blue sea, they both agree. Mia feels she is in love with someone already, so loving Jason will be totally impossible. But life isn't how it seems like always. They are yet to discover love isn't a matter of choice but a matter of the heart. Disclaimer- I know that this book has lots of plot holes, and all that. Trust me when I say I'm definitely working on it. I haven't fully gotten around editing it 'cause how busy life is at the moment. Note that, this book is my first book ever as a writer and as such has stuff that needs to be worked on. If you want to read a really thought out work, you can read my other books. I do hope you all understand.

Kyle is a flirt, always gets what he wants, and doesn't care about the girls hearts he's broken. Wynter is blunt and speaks her mind a lot, she doesn't care what people think about her and she doesn't like snobby rich boys. Kyle's mom wanted him to find a wife before he takes over his dads million dollar company. Kyle's mom sets up Kyle and Wynter on the second day of August. Will they work out and be together ? Or will Kyle drop Wynter and take over his dads million dollar company alone ? [WARNING] Also this is a interracial relationship book meaning a black women and white man dating, a Brazilian women and black man dating, and a white women and black man dating. The list could go on. If you do not like that then please don't read the book and don't put rude fucking comments about interracial dating. Thank you ! :)
