Meet the Characters: Bliss (Erotic Short Shorts, #3)

Lydia MTCMeet Lydia Warlow, the main character of my upcoming erotic short story Bliss. Lydia is thirty, runs her own department within her marketing firm, and can hang with all the crazy kids in her highly competitive field because she has a weekly ritual: Friday night dates with her Dom.

While she’s a total hard-ass in the workplace, she’s a near perfect submissive in the bedroom. Lydia is career-oriented and totally fine with it. Family, kids, the white picket fence are all out until she conquers the business world, but she’s grateful to have something she can do weekly to get out all the stress. To her, being dominated is like having a great massage. In Lydia’s opinion, it’s why she hasn’t spiraled out like some of her peers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fantastic collection of short stories set at Bramley Cottage. You get a little taste of everything here, and once again Samantha Rose proves that she is an author who can really draw the emotion out of me. I shed several tears across multiple of these stories; the author has a real knack for articulating life’s struggles with nuance and tact. Really well done, and definitely a recommended read around the holidays!

36604855With wry wit and hard-earned wisdom, popular online personality and founder of TheChicSite.com founder Rachel Hollis helps readers break free from the lies keeping them from the joy-filled and exuberant life they are meant to have.

Founder of the lifestyle website TheChicSite.com and CEO of her own media company, Chic Media, Rachel Hollis has created an online fan base of hundreds of thousands of fans by sharing tips for living a better life while fearlessly revealing the messiness of her own. Now comes her highly anticipated first book featuring her signature combination of honesty, humor, and direct, no-nonsense advice.

Each chapter of Girl, Wash Your Face begins with a specific lie Hollis once believed that left her feeling overwhelmed, unworthy, or ready to give up. As a working mother, a former foster parent, and a woman who has dealt with insecurities about her body and relationships, she speaks with the insight and kindness of a BFF, helping women unpack the limiting mind-sets that destroy their self-confidence and keep them from moving forward.

From her temporary obsession with marrying Matt Damon to a daydream involving hypnotic iguanas to her son’s request that she buy a necklace to “be like the other moms,” Hollis holds nothing back. With unflinching faith and tenacity, Hollis spurs other women to live with passion and hustle and to awaken their slumbering goals.
