The Beauty Room is a charming, light-hearted, celebration of the world of beauty. It's an amusing story about this esoteric world, a world full of pseudoscience and beautifying promises. It follows the life of Barbara Day a character from Grahame's first book "The Dressing Room." It begins at a prestigious Beauty Awards Ceremony in London in 2002 and then goes back to 1950 where it all began for Barbara, working for the mysterious Madame Jacqueline Deveze in her salon in the Northern Textile Town of Huddersfield in England. The book follows Barbara's amusing journey to become a name in the beauty industry, and we are introduced to designer fashions, hairstyles, lotions, potions, perfumes, beaus, bitches, and some of life's amusing foibles.

Start - 28.5.2024 He's a billionaire with the world at his feet, finds himself in a realm where time stands still. There she is, draped in the splendor of her bridal finery, an ethereal beauty that stirs his soul. He gazes upon her, his mind a whirlwind of disbelief and longing- "Will she be his at last, or is she a celestial apparition destined to vanish at his yearning grasp?" His thoughts race "will she truly become his, or is she a mirage that will dissipate at his touch?" 'Please tell me "Mi Querida"'. ________(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠) ________ In stark contrast, the second scene paints a chilling tableau. The air is pierced by the sound of water, a relentless downpour that drowns all but the most sinister of intentions. Her, innocent and unaware, is ensnared in the vulnerability of the shower's embrace. Outside, a figure looms, He, the enigmatic man with a past as shadowy as the smile he wears. Leaning against the cool glass, his gaze fixed on the unsuspecting girl, he lets out a puff of smoke that mingles with the morning mist. "You've danced right into my web," he thinks, a predatory glint in his eyes. "Escape? From me? Oh, 'Mi Pequeña Asesina', the game has only just begun." He smirk. (With each turn of the page, 'Love - The Sweet Entrapment' promises a journey where passion intertwines with peril, and where every choice could be a step toward ecstasy or a descent into the abyss, is a tale that weaves together the threads of romance, suspense, and mystery, where every heart hides a secret, and every smile masks a strategy. It's a story that promises to captivate readers, leaving them questioning the very nature of love-is it a sanctuary or a subtle trap? It's a narrative that will ensnare the reader, holding them captive to the very last word)

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.

Beauties and Beasts by LoweFantasy
156 parts Complete
Neara and Shay looked to the future (read 'pastries') to forget their past, but are interrupted by being transported to a world of beastmen struggling to keep their population up when 4-5 men are born for every woman. Because of the high competition, men look like models and the women like dump trucks. When the two modern girls show up, their comparative 'beauty' and basic manners cause chaos and mayhem. Forget having a harem, they want home. Home has cinnamon rolls and flushing toilets. But could they be the key to finding out what caused such an imbalance to the genders? A not-so-traditional satire of self-insertion into the world of the manhua "Beauty and the Beasts" by two old English graduate friends who need a good laugh and writing practice. DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE MANHUA/FANDOM TO ENJOY THE STORY! It's even better if you don't. DISCLAIMER: This story is unique in that it is not something I wrote for myself or to write any sort of genius plot. I wasn't trying to write 'a good story.' I wasn't even writing to entertain you lot. The whole purpose of this book was to get my friend back into writing so she could have a way to escape the hell which was her abusive marriage and having a baby with A LOT of medical needs. That's why we follow the original plot of the manga in the beginning--because having an 'outline' of sorts of what to write helped eased her back in. Once she got comfortable with writing again the plot shoots off into several directions. It's a story not to be literary amazing or even entertaining to anyone reading. It's just me trying to help my friend who was suffering.

There is something everyone is blind to At 5:00 a.m., the sun rises early. An old maid, dressed neatly with an eyeglass strap around her neck and an expressionless face, enters a house. Despite being recently built and located near the roadside, the house appears shabby due to the untended walls and garden, which are covered with large bushes and vines. As the maid steps into the villa, she is greeted by darkness and gloom. She opens the windows, allowing the hot air to escape and letting in a sliver of light from outside. This light reveals a stunning interior filled with a variety of intriguing items. Anyone who sees the neatly arranged books and items inside would never believe that the outside and the inside are part of the same building. She prepares a delightful breakfast and carries the freshly made French toast and a glass of orange juice to the first floor. Anyone who sees it would think she is serving a god. Another dark room greeted her. Inside, a young, attractive girl in her 20s with long, straight black hair was reading a book in bed. As the maid entered, the girl turned towards her. Despite being blind, she held a book in her hand, a sight that might evoke laughter or sympathy from others. The maid, however, remained emotionless. As the maid placed the dish on the table and was about to leave, she said, "Ma'am, it's breakfast time." There were no words, just a small nod. The girl called out 'Emma'.The maid turned to face the girl, this time she was smiling
