Sons and Lovers & Lady Chatterley's Lover - Victorian Romance Novels

D. H. Lawrence

Sinopse

"Sons and Lovers" – The refined daughter of a "good old burgher family," Gertrude Coppard meets a rough-hewn miner, Walter Morel, at a Christmas dance and falls into a whirlwind romance characterized by physical passion. But soon after her marriage to Walter, she realizes the difficulties of living off his meager salary in a rented house. The couple fights and drifts apart and Walter retreats to the pub after work each day. Gradually, Mrs. Morel's affections shift to her sons beginning with the oldest, William, and later with her second son, Paul. "Lady Chatterley's Lover" – The story concerns a young married woman, the former Constance Reid (Lady Chatterley), whose upper class husband, Sir Clifford Chatterley, described as a handsome, well-built man, has been paralysed from the waist down due to a Great War injury. In addition to Clifford's physical limitations, his emotional neglect of Constance forces distance between the couple. Her emotional frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The class difference between the couple highlights a major motif of the novel which is the unfair dominance of intellectuals over the working class. The novel is about Constance's realization that she cannot live with the mind alone; she must also be alive physically. This realization stems from a heightened sexual experience Constance has only felt with Mellors, suggesting that love can only happen with the element of the body, not the mind.

Amelia - Muscle Girl Tales I

Ash Max

Toxic Love and Desires - Toxic...

Lauren Biel

**DUET NARRATED**
How toxic can love really be?
Meeting Aaron was the biggest mistake of my life. Not the addictions or my career choice, but the man I chose to marry. He wanted men to hurt me so he could ride in on the white horse to rescue me and take me away from the person he commanded to cause me all the pain in the first place. He was no hero. No white knight.
Aaron took it too far when he brought a man to our home who looked past the bruises and saw the broken woman beneath them. Ryan was fiercely protective from the moment he laid his eyes on me and received his assignment. His dark confidence was more intoxicating than any drug, and I found myself wanting more of it.
Even though he saved me, I was still fractured. Broken. Craving all the wrong things despite the right thing being in front of me. I didn't know how to love or be loved. I wasn't sure who I was when I was forced to be sober. I had to be taught my worth when I felt worthless.
But Aaron wasn't going to give up that easily. He wanted me back, and he would stop at nothing to get me. Ryan was strong and smart, though, and he made me feel safe. He was my savior. My hero. At least, that's what I hoped he'd remain.
Would Ryan be everything I ever needed?
Read now to find out if love could be the cure for Scarlett's toxic desires.
Toxic Love and Desires is the combo version of Toxic Love and Toxic Desires, a spicy dark novella duet.
This contemporary dark romance duet is STRONGLY recommended for adult readers only. See full list of content warnings on LaurenBiel.com.

Hotwife Doggie Style

Charlie Hedo

Orlando walked around blankly, not realizing what had happened to him, why his butt was wet and his lover had started walking. 
"That wasn't nice of her," I said to Jean Paul. 
"It's this or killing eight dog pups." 
"Why killing them?" 
"Nobody wants a cross between a German shepherd and a boxer." 
Maybe that was true. 
How do dog puppies be killed, I wondered. Auch. 
It was not likable that utter dog happiness was disrupted that brutal way, but I had to admit: a cross between a boxer and a sheepdog? What is that? 
"What if they cross you and me?" Jean Paul asked, wanting my attention back. 
"Hmmmmm." 
I thought about that. With his beautiful brown puppy eyes. His jet black hair is like an Italian's. His muscled torso as if it were he who mowed all the grass on the huge farm pasture with a scythe in the summer and turned it several times daily with a fork until it became hay. 
"I don't know about my half, but your half is undoubtedly wonderfully beautiful," I said. 
He kissed me, full on the lips, forceful, gooey. 
"You make beautiful children," I said.

Night Fire

Catherine Coulter

Dear Listener, 
 
I began writing the Night Trilogy in 1987. I'm very proud of all three novels. Perhaps Night Fire is my favorite simply because it's so different from the other two. 
 
In Night Fire, Arielle Leslie is a sixteen-year-old forced to wed Paisley Cochrane, a sadistic old man who abuses her. When he dies, she believes herself free. But she's not. 
 
Burke Drummond, Earl of Ravensworth, a young man she'd worshipped three years before, is home from the wars, and he wants her. 
 
Burke and Arielle are two people who have touched me deeply. Together they faced problems and obstacles never spoken of in the Regency time. 
 
Do give Night Fire a try. See if you don't agree with me that Arielle and Burke are two very special people.
