"Claire, come and help out in the kitchen!"
*****
Chinese New Year isn't all that bad if Claire was good at helping. She wasn't as good at her siblings or cousins (all because they're older), which is something... not so good if you want to gain attention from the other relatives.

Her life as a Chinese in her home country, Malaysia, isn't really hard. Living with her relatives during Chinese New Year is a challenge though. It's like a never ending loop - It goes on and on every year, with the same things happening. 

This year... is a little different. Claire just turned 16. Her mother's desire for her to improve her helping abilities has increased drastically. She threatened Claire that if she failed more than half the tasks assigned by her grandma, she'd send her to boarding school. Of course, Claire has to learn a lot more from her friends in the village in order to not get sent to boarding school...

"An exciting sexy compromise full of pleasure, and this was such a pleasure to read!" - KitKatZhang "Two broken people trying to mend their pasts, blinded by lust and love. They find each other by chance -or rather a roommate ad online.The perfect combination of passion and promises. 10/10 would read again." - unconsciouslyReading Adventurous, lustful, comical, just an all around amazing book that took you for a roller coaster ride. Of all the books I've read, so far this is my favorite. Highly Recommended!!! - Ellie_Mad1son **** "You really don't like me, huh?" I crossed my arms when I finally saw him on the threshold. "I don't have to like you. I need your money to pay the bills and that's it. For all I care, we can be perfect strangers." He laughed. "So much hatred coming from a shy nerd ..." "So much smugness coming from a boy whose living arrangement is in my hands ..." Lukas raised his hands in mock surrender. "Touché." He laughed. "Man, are you feisty ..." "Maybe I'm in a bad mood." "My fault?" I arched an eyebrow at him. "You tell me, you're the one that basically broke into my house." "Hey, I knocked. You didn't hear me." "That's when you wait, and knock again, Sherlock." I scoffed. Lukas smirked smugly, his eyes once again raking over my full frame. "Didn't know I'd find you naked, sweetheart. In that case I wouldn't have even knocked ..." 🔥🔥🔥 You can review Roommates with Benefits on Goodreads!

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)

"You know you need me, but even before I get close, you're pushing me away." Thalia grunts, "I need you? Where'd that come from?" Miguel runs his fingers through his hair, maintaining their proximity as his breaths become heavier and more ragged. Out of nowhere, he brushes his knuckle against her jaw, then to her cheek, and finally, he grasps her nape. Thalia stands frozen, unable to even blink. "My parents want me to settle down. You need your status secured," he states. "You need me." ****** Thalia Sarmiento, once a shining star as class valedictorian and university cum laude, is thrust into an unexpected role after the untimely death of her family's patriarch. To support her mother and younger sister, she leaves behind a promising career and ends up taking refuge in the unlikeliest of places--a Filipino grocery store in Edmonton. Struggling to make ends meet, Thalia faces an additional hurdle with the looming expiration of her work permit. Enter Miguel de la Cruz, a 27-year-old Filipino Canadian set to inherit the family grocery store and a YouTube sensation with thousands of subscribers. Born into privilege, Miguel's curiosity is sparked by the industrious charm of the girl behind the check-out counter. Amidst Thalia's challenges and Miguel's parents persistently urging him to settle down, they discover a surprising alignment of interests. And perhaps, dealing with it together will be the best solution... Start Date: February 2, 2024 End Date: May 31, 2024
