Three Men in a Boat, published in 1889, is a humorous account by English writer- Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston.
The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers - the jokes seem fresh and witty even today.

F*ck Me (Modern Cliches, #2)
Book Two in the Modern Cliches series ~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey there, my name is Ethel Bethany Linde. I am your perfectly prudish, average twenty-five year old girl. The only thing I am above average in is the fact I made it to twenty-five while still being a virgin. Yes, I managed to make it through my hormone fuelled teen years and college years with my virginity in tact. Although not for lack of trying on my part. So with that prudish exterior, I have absolutely no fucking clue how to explain or count for the fact I lost my virginity to an Incubus who was summoned to torture and kill me, via sex. Which according to some ancient demon law means we are practically married in the (un)holy eyes of Hell. Yes, by some unholy, cosmic act of fuckery, I accidentally married a fucking demon. Thankfully, Mazvahr (Maz for short), was just as enthused as I was and we set upon a mission to find the man who summoned an unholy Incubus to do the dirty deed, in more ways than one, and kill him. Stuck next to a powerful demon, who requires sex to charge him up and has a super weird rope fetish, to hunt down the asshole who did this to me, all I can say is: F*ck me.Complete

Fated
****COMPLETED**** "You're driving me crazy," I growled, dropping my hand down to her waist then around to her lower back, sucking her earlobe into my mouth and dragging my teeth along it. She groaned and dropped her head back against the wall. Her sounds were intoxicating. I could smell how much she was responding to me and it brought my need for her out even more. I cupped her cheek and brought my lips over to hers, just barely brushing against them. "Addie," I whispered against her mouth, threading my hand through her hair. ...

i'm back, baby
Benny walked into his house, knowing that since it was Thursday, Grandma Weir would be at her "Latenight Bingo." Where she gets drunk and spends the night at her friend Shelby's house. Benny threw down his now empty bag on the couch and collapsed next to it, running his hand through his shaggy hair. "Every supernatural creature is after this stupid Lucifractor thing- that we are now in possession of, Ethan's date with Sarah was ruined, and everything just sucks," Benny absently whined out loud. "Can things get any worse?" he groaned, throwing his head back and staring at the ceiling. "I'm glad you asked." Benny shot his head up at the voice. He knows that voice all too well. That deep yet girly voice he once loved. And when he looked up, he wished he hadn't. Cause he met glances with bright green eyes with a tint of blue. The curly black haired beauty he once loved more than his Grandma's freshly baked cookies was leaning against the wall, hair now pin straight, leather jacket-covered arms folded, a smirk playing on her burgundy colored lips. "Hi Benny Boo," she put on a sentimental smile and batted her eyes innocently, "did you miss me?" Benny just let out a high pitched scream. __________ When Benny Weir's ex-girlfriend shows up out of nowhere after having mysteriously fallen off of the face of the Earth two years ago and leaving her friends behind with no indication of where she was or what happened, Benny is hysterical. She left him all alone when he needed her most, with starting their first year of High School just days after she left. But he didn't have much time to think about it, for he knew that with what was going on with the Lucifractor, she wasn't there for a reunion. She changed, dramatically, from her hair to her outfits to her makeup. But this wasn't like her- at all. Something happened, and Benny was going to figure out what it was. __________ I do not own any "My Babysitter's A Vampire" characters or the plot foundation of the story.Complete

When a Hero and God Collide
(WARNING: This story is centred around themes such as rape, sexual assault, depression and anxiety. If any of the above are triggers for you, please do not read! These themes are based on my own personal experiences, and advice that worked for me. I am in no way a mental health professional, I just wish to draw attention to the above issues). Book 3 of When an Angel and Human Collide series, however can be read as a standalone. Ajax has never been a warrior. His fear is constant and born from trauma dismissed, truths questioned, and years of learning that speaking up only made things worse. The anxiety he carries is constant and consuming, a reminder of battles he fought alone and was told didn't exist. Then Ares walks onto his bus. Brilliantly alive, unapologetically loud, and seemingly made of fire, Ares should be everything Ajax fears. He is the God of War-born of battle, drawn to chaos, thriving where Ajax doesn't. Yet beneath the bravado lies an unexpected patience. Ares sees things others overlook: the quiet strength in restraint and the courage it takes to keep going when every instinct says to run. As their worlds collide, Ajax is pulled into a storm of emotion, healing, and desire he never believed he was strong enough to face. Loving a god of war forces him to confront his past and redefine what battle truly means.Complete
