England x Reader 2 by Foofy06

You should probably go read the first book first. (Y/n) is a young orphaned woman with no record of her past family or parents. She was alone until she met her now bestfriend, Garry. He too has no record of his parents and they grew up together in the orphanage. One day when she stumbled upon a yearly festival which celebrates their country (which coincidentally shares the same name as her) and how it was colonized and became a part of England, (Y/n) felt like she shared a special connection with the festival and made sure to attend the festival every year. One of those years is when she saw a handsome man which she thought she remembered from somewhere but she couldn't put her finger on it. Hopefully all of you know that most sequels aren't always as good as the original, that might be the case with this book, just thought I'd give you a heads up : P

The Mirrored Doorway by MichaelRobinson885

Matthew's doorway to change came to him in the form a woman who held up a mirror to him and showed him who he really was.She was a very fit, blonde, blue eyed, intelligent woman who was originally Russian. Victoria had seen more of life than Matthew had ever imagined. Victoria had imagined the un-imaginable and achieved it. She is still doing all those things that us mere observers have yet to have the courage to understand or commit to. He engaged. He pandered, he devoted himself, and in the end, Victoria devastated him. He was emotionally crushed. Matthew was heartbroken and the tears would not stop. He had a desire, but not the will to commit suicide. In the car he would wail. In the shower he would buckle and cry. In the aftermath, Matthew would steel his nerves with anti anxiety medication and long, long walks around the New South Wales city of Newcastle. From the house his parents owned to the city, to the beach and anywhere in between. He needed to be occupied, he needed to be tired. The construction workers would be listening to a sad some song on the radio (Dean Lewis - Be Alright, that's a good one to cry to), and he would want to stop and physically break down on the grass verge and go no further. Matthew needed to reconcile with best person he had ever meet. So, what was reflected in Matthews mirrored doorway? What door way was opened for him to look beyond his world view, and importantly how did it take so many years for him to see the person he was? Is this a love story? Yes. For Matthew absolutely. For Victoria, no. She did not love or care for him, and we can only guess that Matthew was company for a short period of time, and that amounted to 9 months of wonder, snoring, emotional roller coasting, photography, Salsa dancing, camping, trekking, long drives and fitness. Awesome!

I can feel my heart hammering so loudly in my chest. I bite my bottom lip while gently tracing my fingers in circles over his hand. He grips my hand a little tighter which pulls my eyes to his. "What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" His voice deep while his fingers move from my hand to push some loose hair behind my ear. My breath hitches in my throat at his touch. His thumb traces my bottom lip, his eyes darken with hunger and need. Clearing my throat, I wriggle out of his hold and divert my eyes down to my lap. *** Dual POV 18+ Mature scenes Strong language
