LOYAL SUBJECTS,

The time has come to announce that your Royal Highnesses will be stepping down from their posts as Almighty Beacons of Beauty and Grace, and Lucy. 

In their honor, the castle in which they resided will be sealed up, brick by brick, and the residence known as the Chicklit Bookclub will live on only in memory.

All of which is to say, we greatly enjoyed running the CBC and collaborating with such talented, smart and dedicated writers. Although at one point we thought the CBC could rise from the ashes and we would reinvent ourselves bigger and better, we must reluctantly admit that our priorities now lie elsewhere and that the CBC will not have its planned resurrection. 

We will both continue to be active on Wattpad and hope to keep our CBC relationships strong and vibrant. The bookclub is no more, but our goals and vision for what ChickLit can be exist far outside of this club. We will continue to incorporate them into our writing, and we know you will, too.

Good luck, and godspeed, and go treat yo'self.

Ever Brilliant,

Your Almighties

Taming The Mayor! by amna_riaz

"Brandon..... You're hurting me.", I hissed at him as he tightened his hold around my arm. "I don't give a fuck!", He hissed back digging holes inside me through his gaze. The person who stood in front of me, wasn't even a smallest, single fraction of the Brandon I loved... the Brandon who loved me. "Now listen carefully....", he dragged me as he pushed me against a wall hurting my back still holding my arm tightly. "I'm warning you for the last time.", He hissed closing the distance between the two of us to zero. His closeness still had an effect on my heartbeat that raced manically but little did it effect Brandon who stood digging holes into my entire body through his death glare. "I'm warning you for the last time... Don't test my patience. Try and act smart again and I'll show you how I can ruin you, your entire family and that little business of yours and the families of hundreds of your employees. Trust me, if killing you was an option I wouldn't have waited for a single second to get rid of you... So don't get on my nerves before I decide to change my mind.", He said out loud glaring directly into my eyes. There wasn't a small hint of sadness or sorrow but pure hatred and annoyance in his eyes as he uttered those words rendering me rather shocked. He let go off my arm and walked out I stood still, frozen at the thought of how can he hate me so much? My heart still flattered at his touch and here he was... He hated me to death! ********** For six years Amy stayed away from home, her family and friends. She ran away leaving behind everything and everyone. Even the guy she loved with all her heart. She built herself strong enough to fight the world and now she's finally back home... only to be married to ruthless, Mayor -- Brandon Mayhew, who hates her with all his might for breaking his heart. Will she be able to tame the hatred that the Mayor has for her? Or completely loose herself all over again? ***** This is book 2 to Period!

FAVORITE COMMENTS: ** "One of my all time favorite books, I'll never forget it" (@sedaoriente) ** "I love how easily the chemistry built up between them" (@RuthySinger) ** "It was like a modern day fairytale and there were so many moments when I just needed to stop reading and squeal!" (@fairyluver) ** "Your books are exactly how I expect a romance novel to be!" (@mahajuba) ** "It's unique, simple yet amazing. I actually had a big smile on my face while reading." (@Eman_Othman) ** "One of the most lovely stories that I have read so far on this platform. It's perfect." (@Luxami) ******************* Catherine Rogers found it hard to reject her best friend's brother, who was set on winning her over. He embodied everything she hated in a man, pushy, shallow, and selfish. But, Taylor and she had been friends for over 10 years, and Catherine's constant rejection of him was putting a strain on their long term friendship. Moreover, Catherine's heart was already fluttering for someone else: the endearing stranger she meets on the bus. He was kind, patient, and charming. She didn't even know his name, yet there was just something about him that made her swoon. When this mysterious stranger disappeared, she was left with an aching heart, and nothing more than sweet memories of a man who made her smile every time they met. She feared she would never see him again. Until one day, the most unexpected thing happened. --------- A biiiig thanks to all those who loved, voted and commented on Catherine's story. I'm taking the story down from Wattpad because I'm working on publishing it. It's hard work, but it would be a dream come true, please cheer me on. Thanks again for all the love and support! ^^ #42 in chicklit 13th Nov. 2017 Text Copyright © 2017 by Oluwaseun Agunbiade
