Book Description
The 90s era was definitely one of the best eras of all time. From R&B and Hip Hop to some of the most unique hairstyles like finger waves and french rolls. Long press on nails, gold teeth, and the best house parties. There were so many things that made the 90s great, but one thing in particular, that went the hardest was the love! Thug passion and lovemaking all night long from a 90s man was real, especially with the right woman on his side. La’Nisha experiences firsthand just what it feels like to receive real love from a thug when Quincy walks into her life. While stuck in an engagement with her much older fiancé, LJ, which doesn’t seem to be progressing, La’Nisha finds herself feeling trapped and lonely. LJ, a record label producer, doesn’t have time for anything else but music and the wild fetish that he has for underaged girls, leaving La’Nisha heartbroken and confused about that status of their relationship. She craves the type of love that her best friends Kat and Jamar have, and when Quincy turns on his thuggish charm and sweeps her off of her feet, she slowly falls from the emotional grip that LJ has on her. However, gossip travels fast, and when LJ gets an earful of his fiancée's love affair, all hell will break loose! The tables will turn, and La’Nisha will find herself cornered in a dangerous love triangle. Oh yes! There will be drama!

Holly is a frustrated florist who flees the houseshare from hell to move in with a motley crew of friends: there is Josh, a sexually confused merchant banker; Kate, a high-flying legal eagle with talons to match; and the gorgeous Addison, who spends his days communicating only with his computer. One glimpse of Addison, and Holly is smitten. Now the only problem is how to get him to swivel his chair away from the computer screen and his monstrously ugly -- not to mention fiercely possessive -- internet girlfriend Claudia, to see Holly's own adoring gaze.

Pages : 242
Book Description
For seventeen-year-old Jason Krabb, high school life in 1990s Idaho is a world of cargo shorts, cassette tapes, and junk food. Plagued equally by algebra and puberty, Jason sets out to find a girlfriend and become a rock guitarist. His quest is irreversibly jolted when he attends a bonfire and meets an alluring girl from the other side of town and a rag tag crew who are bringing gas lines through the desert in order to keep the lights on in Portland and Seattle, places where Jason hopes to find his nirvana as a guitarist. Meanwhile, things deteriorate at home. Jason's pediatrician mom, Leah, sadly faces the twilight of her parenting years while his father, Curtis, contends with the enormity of running a big ticket research laboratory and coming to terms with his son's wayward path. Pipeliner is at once a coming of age love story and a comical timestamp of early 90s family life. Set in the fictional Idaho town of Helen Springs, pop. 58,000, its characters are as vibrant as the lofty peaks and purple sunsets of the high desert. Here we find rich farmers, poor ranchers, dutiful Mormons, government honchos, disgruntled vets, drug-dealing bruisers, irksome teachers, and spirited students, all doing their best to keep the lights on.
