This evocative tale captures the bittersweet essence of first love, framed by the hazy summer days of youth. The story follows the narrator's recollections of a fleeting romance with Jamie, a charming and unpredictable figure who sweeps them into a whirlwind of passion, rebellion, and carefree adventure. Together, they explore late-night drives, secret kisses, and stolen moments, all wrapped in the nostalgic scent of strawberries and cigarette smoke.

As their relationship blossoms under the warmth of summer, the thrill of new love soon gives way to the ache of uncertainty. Jamie's fear of commitment and his elusive nature leave the narrator caught between longing and heartache, craving more than the fleeting moments they share. Despite the pain, the memories of their time together are filled with beauty-each moment a lesson in love, freedom, and growing up.

Set against the backdrop of shifting seasons, "Strawberries and Cigarettes" explores the complex emotions of first love and its lasting impact. With vivid imagery and a sense of melancholic reflection, the story captures how these early experiences shape us, reminding us of the magic, pain, and sweetness that come with loving and losing. Even as the past fades, the scent of strawberries and smoke lingers, a reminder of a love that once was and the person it helped them become.

Book 1 of the Jackson Series! Ella finally gets an opportunity to escape the clutches of her cruel tormentor before fate leads her to Ryder Jackson. Broken and bruised, she soon finds comfort in Ryder who is equally as hesitant to wear his heart on his sleeve. Both have pasts that they just want to forget and souls that need healing. Will they be able to move on together or will history catch up to them? *** I smile shyly and move closer to his face as my eyes sneak a peek at his lips. Meeting his gaze that has darkened with desire I curl my fingers around his collar and pull him closer. "Now, are you going to kiss me?" "Yes." He nods before leaning in until his lips are a breath away. I pull back which makes him groan in frustration. "Promise to never let me go?" It happens in a blur. His lips descend on mine in a hungry yet passionate kiss filled with longing. I whimper softly when his teeth bite down on my bottom lip and coax me to give in. And, I do. His tongue meets mine as we explore each other, tasting and savoring. I tangle my fingers in his hair and tug slightly which makes him kiss me feverishly. It's like he almost doesn't want this moment to end no matter how much air is becoming a matter of priority. I pull away first, dazed still. He follows and his lips trail over the heated skin of my neck, kissing across my jawline, teasing the corner of my lips before nibbling on my earlobe. I'm a mess as I crave more of his addictive touch. I feel like I'm flying. "I promise to never let you go, Ella."

A first-person erotica romance novel. Early in the story, the narrator Luke mulls, Memory tattoos our yearnings under our skin. From there, they will ripple back. The text is layered like the skeins of paint through Jackson Pollock's masterpiece, Lavender Mist. It spreads wide through friendship, love and romance; and then converges as a unity of thought in a bedroom. So as the text unfolds memory in a non-chronological way, recalling key life incidents of selfishness, lost opportunities, and passion, these, in turn, trigger a memory of other life incidents. Yet, the tangents all hold because they are framed within a more significant memory frame. So, no incident is left behind; they keep building and informing the reveals when they occur. The pivotal point where the reader goes, ah, I knew this because it was always there. Bubbling memories, blue and uplifting echo through the text in places, names, colours, objects, plays on words, and metaphors, already enriching the text read in previous scenes. The adult scenes sizzle because they have a passion context within current or past yearning. Enjoy the sexual complexities of the characters as pleasure ignited by pleasures ignition is a pleasure for two or three! The novel's themes include friendship, passion, selfishness, contrition, resilience, cheating and love, all unfolded on a splattered action painting canvas of our, at times, messy lives where the world and its tragedies can also invade unannounced. The text will reward the booklover who hovers in and recalls previous nuances of the text, like their own recall of the sweetest friendship, love and romance moments in their lives.

"Strawberries and cigarettes-sweetness and smoke- our love was always a contradiction. Every kiss tasted like something forbidden, yet I craved it more with every breath."
