Romeo and Juliet. Antony and Cleopatra. Lancelot and Guinevere.
Great love stories that started with a bang and ended in tragedy. In the real world, no one's life is that linear.
We fall in and out of love. We take it for granted.
Or find it where we least expect it.
Some relationships can seem easy from the start and others can be faced with tremendous obstacles. We root for love to conquer all, but we also root for a comeback.
People who have been knocked down by life and get back up on their feet.
Who learn from the mistakes that they've made and grow into better, more complete human beings. So maybe the greatest love stories aren't the ones that end in tragedies.
Maybe they're the ones that start with a second chance.

Better Than The Movies
In this world, there are some people who get their happily ever afters and others who don't. Those who get their magical fairytale romance, cherish it for as long as it lasts while the others never get to enjoy the wonders of a fairytale. Instead, they are forced to stay inside their hopeless reality and grow old thinking about what they did to deserve never getting their once upon a time. I think those are the ones who wanted it bad enough. They craved a fairytale more than life itself. Devoted their lives to Disney movies and romance books just to be let down by the real world. I think I'm destined to be one of those people. Then he showed up. And fucked up everything I thought I knew.Complete
It's Like Rain (Orlando Bloom/OC)
Mature story. Contains depictions of sexual situations and strong language. "Tell me you love me," were the last words she heard from someone she loved dearly, who left a large hole in her heart. Do something you hate. Misery brings up character. Doing something she hates and misery that follows seems to be what it's all about in her life. After too many tragic endings in her relationships, she has been too afraid to fall in love again. But when her boss tells her to go to a fundraiser, and he waltzes into her life, she falls into pieces, because she's too scared to admit to love again. She creates her own misery and does something she hates for awhile. She runs half way across the world to flee from making the right decision, and chooses the wrong guy before realizing that there is really no one else for her than him. But who said it was easy to love a celebrity? Who said it would be a fairy tale romance with rose petals and all? She'd like to share a piece of her mind with that waif.Complete
All I Know
Sometimes love is more about the learning curves than the fairytale "Happily Ever After". Because often the world shows us how unkind it can be, how the notion of "good things happen to bad people' actually breathes true. Good people are often the ones with the most scars and disappointments but even with those battle wounds, they are still willing to pursue love. Sometimes it is the people that have been hurt the most, who love the hardest and are intentional in their love. So as hard and painful as these experiences are, these are the chapters that build you, remove the rose-colored glasses from your eyes, and present you with reality... you can choose to harden or to soften to the standards of this world. Follow David and Amelia on their journey, in the most unconventional of places and it changes the way they view the world forever. All events in this book are fictional. Some instances such as events and characters may be based on real life but nothing is 100% factual.
The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]Complete
