Innocent 4: Alicia
Alicia Wu hates her hymen. She's not in a rush to break it, but she wishes everybody would quit making such a fuss about it. Her parents. Her pre-fiance's parents. Him, though he claims it's not a dealbreaker. That small piece of thin skin is not important to her. It's not like she even believes in love. She is ready for marriage, though her accountant nerd pre-fiance underwhelms her. His father is a wealthy businessman. Having worked hard in her parents' chop suey joint since a child, Alicia is ready to join the country club set and spend the rest of her life playing tennis and golf, in between having the grandchildren her future in-laws want. After the families finish exchanging letters, they must hire an astrologer to choose an auspicious day for the official engagement celebration. And, after that, a lucky weekend day on which they can hire a suitable hall. Then, at a college party, Alicia meets Bran. He delivers the pizza. She delivers the fried rice and egg rolls. Blonde. White. Blue-eyed. A fan of Goth rock. Like Alicia, Bran doesn't believe in love, he just wants to have a good time. And, a victim of the Great Recession, he's given up his college ambition, and just wants to remain a pizza delivery dude for the rest of his life. Alicia's parents automatically hate him. So why does Alicia feel compelled to offer her unbroken hymen to Bran? 64,000 words 3 Flames Therefore, download Innocent 4: Alicia of the League of Worldly Wise Innocents now.

About the author
L.A. Zoe
29 books3 followersL.A. Zoe grew up in a small, Illinois river town and now lives in a tropical paradise full of palm trees with the loves of Zoe's life, and extended family. Fond of adventure, travel, and white sand beaches, L.A. prefers the "Bollywood" movies of India to modern Hollywood flicks, because they emphasize love stories, complete with singing and dancing. Favorite actor: Shah Rukh Khan.
L.A. celebrates the freedom of the United States, and enjoys residing in a country demographically much younger. L.A. eats lunch every day in a mall crowded with adults working hard to raise their babies, bunches of school children sharing snack time, and college sweethearts holding hands.
Busy establishing and enjoying their lives, building a future for the world. Nobody worries about the future of Social Security or looks forward to retirement.
No one country, race, culture, religion, or ethnic group holds a monopoly on brains, beauty, hard work, or creativity. Success in the future demands all of the above, especially vision and a willingness to break with the past. To take chances and defy the reluctant majority.
L.A. the growing acceptance of female sexuality, and the subsequent growing demand of women for sexually oriented reading material.
Now, "nice girls" can not only "do it" and remain nice, they also read about other women "doing it."
Young adults -- whom publishers now call "new adults" -- keep the world fresh, exciting, and progressing toward humanity's destiny.

Compelling and amusing. Cultures clash. Heroine Asian American. Hero white. Heroine engaged. Some angst. Heroine's family disaproves.
Hero at first seems like the alpha ho but with the heroine he's falls hard for herand won't even sex her when she wants him too...they do the deed after getting married.
Only negatives is hero not alpha enough with his financial life and no epilogue. I perfer heroes to be uber wealthy. The escapist romance factor. And with all the drama of the romance an epilogue with children would have been nice. But this is still a 5 star read in spite of that.
