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.

Remember To Forget by IgweSharonStone

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.

I welcome you to this Nigerian book that you have never seen in your life. No stress. No overthinking. Just fasten your seatbelts for a chaotic ride! This whole world you are about to enter looks normal on the surface but everything in it is tied to one man. Mr Deen. Every story. Every person. Every small link that looks like coincidence is actually him. He does not force anything. He does not shout. He is not running around trying to control people. He just exists and somehow the entire universe bends around him. He is the reason people meet. He is the reason friendships form. He is the reason friendships break. He is the reason someone makes one random choice that changes everything. Yet he is not touched by the chaos he creates. He is the calm inside a storm that other people start fighting themselves to reach. They want him. They hate him. They love him. They chase him. They destroy each other because of him but he stays untouched like he is living in a different level of life. This book shows you that sometimes the most powerful person in a story is not the loud one. It is the one who stands in the corner and breathes while everybody else burns themselves trying to figure him out. You will meet people who rise because of him. You will meet people who fall because of him. You will see how one man can be peace and chaos at the same time without ever lifting a finger. So relax. Open your mind. Enter this world slowly. Nothing here is random. Nothing here is simple. Everything comes back to him. Welcome to Mr Deen. Let the madness begin. #1 - Abuja (30-12-2023) #1 - Wattnaija (19-06-2024) #1 - Wattpadnigeria (30-06-2024) - (29-07-2024)
