Fools Like Us #1
Fools Like Us
Why do fools fall in love?
Kai felt like the biggest fool for loving someone who has never even given their relationship a fighting chance, and now he felt like an even bigger fool for letting himself get seduced by self pity and convincing words from his ex-lovers younger brother, Cedric.
17 year old Cedric, mature for his age but still 7 years younger than Kaito. "It's just sex," Cedric had told him, "Pretend that I'm my brother..."
How long will Kai be able to fight off his growing feelings for Cedric? How can something so wrong feel so right? And what about Cedric? Was this all just a game to the younger man with piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through him?
And when John, Cedric's older brother and Kai's ex-lover decides that he wants to continue his relationship with Kai even through he's already married, what will Kai do? Give in to his former lover or explore a new dangerous love...

Hi there! Welcome to my page!
Gosh, what to say about me...
Well I started reading romance novels when I was like 11. I had to hide some of them cause the covers would have made my aunt look at me funny Haha but I loved romance and reading so there! Soon afterwards I had characters in my own head so I started writing on everything I could get my hands on. Notebooks, scratch paper etc. Then a got my own laptop and voila!
I started posting my work on free sites like Quzilla and then Wattpad where I could test my skills out on real readers and hey, I'm not so bad!I have over 103,000 followers/readers and counting. Hate editing my work though. Bleh. I'm a storyteller not an editor! lol Of course my writing continues to evolve so hopefully when I finally publish for real, I can give myself a pat on the back for a job well done :D
I live in Washington State where it's green and rainy. And no, I haven't seen any Edward Cullens or Jacob Blacks wandering around ;)
I'm currently working on getting my humor/romance novel/novella "Big Fat Liar" ready to get published through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Gotta edit (ugh!) and add more chapters first. Wish me luck! ^_^

not-interested
September 30, 2015That's not sexy, that's disgusting. As of 2015, that's illegal, a sex crime, and pedophilia in twelve states. Twelve.
No 24 year old should be interested in a kid in high school (or of that age) and no kid that age should be put into an adult relationship. A kid that age doesn't have enough life experience to know what is appropriate and what isn't, no matter how mature he is.
At 24, I was a college graduate about to leave my first career for grad school. The thought of dating someone in high school would have been ridiculous.
Gross, gross, gross.
(My disgust isn't hypothetical but from working with at risk kids, mostly teens, for the past fifteen years.)

This one I liked very much. I love when there is a conflict of interest. When there is an ex lover, when moral lines are crossed. Age gap is good too.

The subject matter contained within this book may stretch the moral values of most people but than sometimes as readers we have to suspend our views of reality & immerse our being totally in the soul of a book no matter where it takes us.Even the darker places not that this book is anyway a black shade of sin.
In the literature world where we have characters falling in love with serial killers,mass murders,lusting after step brothers & being beaten black & blue in BDSM rituals than a 17 year old falling in love with a 24 year old is a tame read indeed.
This is a well written short piece of thought provoking literature that I would definitely be reading part 2 of despite some spelling errors.

Sweet story. the teenager/adult didn't bother me as much as it did other people (maybe because in germany you're an adult by age 18). what disturbed me was the amount of ortographic mistakes. i know my english is not perfect since i'm german but the point is, a book should be properly edited before it's released. but the story was nice.

This book was okay. Cedric's friend's were SUPER annoying, and the author's writing wasn't the best. It was really predictable and I was a bit uncomfortable with the age of Cedric, though I knew about it when I started the book. Overall it wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't classify it as good either.

SO CUTE, it was a little concerning at first, but I needed something to read and it turned out alright. I don't know if I read the full version since I didn't read the Amazon version, but whatever.

July 3, 2015The age thing didn't really bother me. What bothered me was the numerous SPAG errors. This seriously needs an editor or at least a beta reader (or two, or both). The inconsistencies with tense, incorrect words (road instead of rode, abide vs bide, buckle vs bucked, brief vs briefs... And more), missing words in sentences, and a lot of other things were distracting and made me think the author is perhaps not a native English speaker...
The scenes and dialogue also seem lifted from a YAOI manga. Just the way they were written brought to mind the manga I used to read before shifting to M/M books. The fact that one of the main characters is Japanese made that impression even stronger. It just felt like I'd read this exact same story in a manga...
Didn't like the use of song lyrics, either. Felt very amateurish and very fanfic-y... You know those song-fics that some fanfic authors love to do? This was like that.
I can't even rate this. On one hand, I liked Kai and Cedric. There just wasn't anything truly unique about the story and the aforementioned SPAG errors completely ruined the experience. The formatting wasn't great either. Line spacing was way too big which means there's too much white space on each page.
