18+ only! 🔥🔥🔥 | Toyin was living her best life! She had the perfect job with an Oil Major, amazing friends, a suitor and a fabulous apartment with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Life was good until an unexpected breakup led her to the hot but NFA (No Future Ambition) Osaze. An odd pairing which helps her discover herself nonetheless. 🌴 Osaze didn't know what he was doing with his life anymore. He spontaneously quit his dream job as a top programmer with Google 3 years ago, moved back to Nigeria to start up his own tech company but failed miserably, was swindled out of his own code by ruthless business partners and is left with a million dollar debt to pay back to his investors. He now squats with a childhood friend in a dilapidated mansion (which is on the market by the way) and drinks his failure away in Lagos bars. When he meets Toyin, a young high flying oil & gas exec who has her own life together he starts to reevaluate his whole existence.

A Romance - Thriller. •~• An accident brings Laura Taiwo to a coma. After a year, she is awake with no memory of the people around her especially the handsome, sexy doctor who claims to be her husband. But she seems to remember a nightmare she's been having for a year. . . in a coma. Her nightmare not only shatters her whole world, but it brings her closer to the real one. Excerpt🎬: "You like what you see?" He crossed his arms over his chest, aligning his muscles and raising his ash polo shirt which gave her a great view of his Calvin Klein boxers. Being a chicken, she avoided his steamy gaze and gave an excuse to use the toilet. She ran into the master bedroom and she stared into the mirror. Her exacerbated reflection didn't deflect the daring gaze Jonathan had burned into her. "I thought people only ran when they were chased." He spoke from the door, his lean body relaxed on its frame. His voice teased her and pleased her. He moved closer before she could utter a lame excuse. He stopped less than a feet away from her, she cranked her neck to look boldly at him. She could feel his breath on her face but he didn't touch her still. So why could she feel him everywhere? *------------------------------------------------* Best Rankings on RTF: 26/08/2021: #3 Romamcereads2020 06/07/2021: #1 Africa 23/01/2021: #2 Amazon 22/02/2020: #1 Phoniexquill2019 03/05/2020: #1 Taa2019 #1 Projectnaija #5 Amazon #1 Assassin 20/05/2020: #5 BestBooksOnWattpad 14/06/2020: #1 Africabookclub #5 Hotline 16/08/2022 ~ 1/11/2022: #1 Proudnigerian Edited by ©IgweSharonstone ©IgweSharonstone.2019 Disclaimer: the picture in the cover photo doesn't belong to me in any way.

What is your spec? I mean those qualities you desire your future partner to possess? Definitely not being way below in the social ladder right? Especially when you are the lady in the picture. Amarachi Jessica Okpara, alias, Ajay also thought the same way. Being a successful career woman with a pretty face and nice body, she couldn't settle for less..... Or so she thought... Until she met the one who changed her life.... ************************************************** That was when I noticed how close he was to me. His huge manly figure towering over me like I was something he wanted to protect, like I was a precious gem he found. Could he be the man God has chosen for me? Because judging from events, he was the first man I saw after my long night vigil. But then I took another good look at him. I cringed at my own thoughts. 'Ewww! Ajay, how could such a lame thought creep into your lousy head?' God will definitely not give me such an ugly-faced illiterate. I got away from him immediately. "Aunty your phone...." He called, running to meet me. He handed the phone to me giving me that same sheepish smile. And again I was disappointed that I could think of this irritating guy as an option. Jeez! Definitely not what I want! DEFINITELY NOT MY SPEC! ************************************************* A 17+ novel Impressive Rankings 1- #Africa🤭🤭🤭❣️ 1- #specifications 1- #nigeriannovel 2- #Igbo 2- #Lagos Amazing cover by Me☺️☺️ Photo credit: Mercy Eke UNEDITED‼️ Started: May 2021 Ended: April 2022
