  Selected Short Stories - by F...

  F. Scott Fitzgerald

  Selected Short Stories is a collection of some of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most memorable and thought-provoking works. Published in 1931, the collection includes several of his best-known stories, such as "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." These stories explore themes of social class, love, loss, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Fitzgerald's writing style is characterized by its elegance, wit, and poetic language, making his stories both engaging and thought-provoking. 
   
  One of the recurring themes in Fitzgerald's stories is the tension between the individual and society. In many of his stories, the characters are struggling to find their place in a society that values wealth, status, and conformity. This is particularly evident in "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," in which the protagonist, Bernice, must decide whether to conform to the expectations of her wealthy cousin or to follow her own desires. Similarly, in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," the protagonist must come to terms with his unusual condition, which sets him apart from the rest of society. 
   
  Another important theme in Fitzgerald's stories is the fleeting nature of happiness and the inevitability of change. Many of his characters are searching for love, success, or fulfillment, but find that these things are elusive and ultimately fleeting. This is particularly evident in "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," in which the protagonist discovers a hidden mountain of diamonds, only to realize that his wealth is meaningless in the face of the vastness of the universe. Fitzgerald's stories remind us that life is both beautiful and fragile and that the pursuit of happiness can be both exhilarating and heartbreaking. 
  Overall, Selected Short Stories is a testament to Fitzgerald's talent as a writer and his ability to capture the spirit of his time.

  Jace 
  When Sinful Seduction made it big, my life changed, and not always in awesome ways. The groupies were great at first, until one decided to fake a pregnancy and claim the kid was mine. My bandmates had my back, and while the woman backed down fast when I demanded a paternity test, it still shook me. I knew it was time for another change, one where I kept my pants zipped. And then I saw her across the bar...the goddess with golden waves, and her sexy little librarian outfit. I knew she was different, and I wanted to make her mine. Should have known better than to get drunk in Vegas. You know how they say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Bullshit. Total and complete bullshit. But maybe this time, my mistake will turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. 
  Honey 
  I dumped my cheating fiancée, hopped a plane to Vegas, and hit the latest writer’s convention. On what should have been my wedding day, I was throwing back drinks like they were fruit punch. To be fair, they probably had fruit punch in them. When I woke up the next morning with a hard body pressed to mine, and a silver band on a very important finger, I thought I’d screwed up more than ever before. Imagine my surprise when the wannabe rocker I married turned out to be even more famous than me - and wait for it - he wanted to stay married! Even with a battered heart, I still believed in happily-ever-after, but what could a rock star and a romance author have in common? 
  Chemistry.... Intense, curl-your-toes, melt-your-panties chemistry. Relationships have been based on worse, right? 
  Warning: If you don’t like foul-mouthed bad boys, lots of hot sex, and an accidental marriage, then you should probably skip this book.

  Jerome Hart’s ideal relationship is not to be in one. He has no intention of slowing down his bed-hopping, fast-lane ways. He enjoys his single life. 
  Twenty-eight-year-old Lamant James is busy as usual, figuring out how to balance working sixty hours a week as an investment banker, searching for his ideal mate, and fulfilling his dream of becoming a writer. Women have to meet twenty-nine essentials for mating to fit into his rigid dating inbox. And not surprisingly, he hasn’t found the right one yet. 
  Recently divorced forty-year-old Marcus Hill would prefer a not-so-desperate housewife mail-ordered and shipped from the 1950s. He never saw his divorce coming, due to his belief that he was a super-duper husband. 
  Why their ideal women are so hard to find is beyond any of them. The possibility of changing themselves is unthinkable. Can they evolve, or face ending up alone?
