Book Description
Most boyfriends just expect flowers or candy for their birthday gifts. But my boyfriend? He just asked me if he could take my anal virginity for his birthday.And I'm a top...So I'm a top.

But for his birthday, my boyfriend of one year, River, just asked me for quite the gift: he wants to take my anal virginity. Before River, I'd never even been with another guy. I was a latent bisexual who didn't know it, and somehow River awakened a side of me I'd repressed for years, and changed my life forever. So considering my lack of experience, I'm more than a little nervous...But I decide to at least try it out anyway. River has been the journey of a lifetime, and I'm not letting something as dumb as sex derail us.

The Sworn Virgin
Author: Kristopher Dukes
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062660756
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Dukes's gripping historical novel tells the tale of a desperate Albanian woman who will do whatever it takes to keep her independence and seize control of her future...even if it means swearing to remain a virgin for her entire life. When eighteen-year-old Eleanora’s father is shot dead on the cobblestone streets of 1910 Albania, Eleanora must abandon her dream of studying art in Italy as she struggles to survive in a remote mountain village with her stepmother Meria. Nearing starvation, Meria secretly sells Eleanora into marriage with the cruel heir of a powerful clan. Intent on keeping her freedom, Eleanora takes an oath to remain a virgin for the rest of her life—a tradition that gives her the right to live as a man: she is now head of her household and can work for a living as well as carry a gun. Eleanora can also participate in the vengeful blood feuds that consume the mountain tribes, but she may not be killed—unless she forsakes her vow, which she has no intention of ever doing. But when an injured stranger stumbles into her life, Eleanora nurses him back to health, saving his life—yet risking her own as she falls in love with him... “It’s hard to believe that the culture Dukes describes was ever real, but the amount of research she put into this book definitely shines through. The story remains fascinating throughout; readers will definitely find it difficult to put this novel down.”—San Francisco Book Review
