Kissing Forgs


Kissing Frogs... Tease me please!!

Here is an excerpt and teaser from Kissing frogs to titillate the senses...



Excerpt #1…

A few glasses of wine made it easier to admit what the real problem was. The total lack of confidence in myself and my own instincts. My own personal albatross. Every time I saw his face or heard his voice, it reminded me of my every failure. I had been head over heels in love with a guy who hadn’t given a crap less about me beyond what I could do for him. The moment somebody offered him something I couldn’t, he was gone. It was the promise of fame and celebrity that lured him. It wasn’t even really about Avalon. She was just a bonus to his new life, a brainless bitch who told him how great he was and hung on his every word.



The bitch got boobs and I got to wipe my business account almost clean to pay the wedding bills. But the punishment didn't end there. Thanks to his newfound fame, the tabloids were all over anything that had to do with him and it seemed that most of our graduating class cared more about their own fifteen minutes of fame than compassion for a classmate. So, I got the parting gift of public humiliation as our story was told over and over again with varying degrees of accuracy. Even now, a year later, people either looked at me with pity or made snarky comments behind my back. The bitchier ones made them to my face. It sucked.



The whole experience had made me not only question my own intuition and judgment when it came to the male species, but my intelligence as well. From time to time, it also made me seriously consider a rather dramatic lifestyle change. One that involved long dresses, sensible black shoes, wimples, and celibacy. The thought of the latter part was the only thing that kept me from running out to the nearest nun recruiting center. Of course, celibacy was only a problem in theory at this point.
