PLEASE The first two installments of this series is not my usual chaotic, Urban fiction. Yet, they are necessary to develop and understand what’s to come. This series is a saga, so please be patient. This is also a re-release of the Love, Sex, Lies series, published nearly ten years ago. So, these characters are close to my heart. They deserved a makeover.For some, love doesn't happen overnight. For many, their journey to love comes after loss, trauma, betrayal, and a lot of lessons learned. THIS is Lyric, Vic, and Tricey's journey to everlasting love. In this raunchy, romantic soap-opera–style tale of promiscuity and corruption, Jessica continues this saga with the usual drama, romance, and loveable bad boys. Yet, with an ending that will leave you breathless.The only thing on nineteen-year-old Star Anderson’s mind is taking care of her son, by any means necessary. However, by means of breaking her back at a minimum wage nine-to-five is not an option. Therefore, she follows in the footsteps of her friend, Roxie, down a path of scamming, tricking, and robberies. Though this path seems to be paved with fast and easy money, tragedy strikes when plans become hurried and messy.Star’s big sister, Tricey, attempts to clean up Star’s mess while fighting with her new and loving beau. He suddenly wants her to leave Chicago with him with no explanation. Though she is deeply concerned about her boyfriend's sudden need to leave Chicago, Tricey is so focused on rescuing Star that being a lovesick puppy and following him out of state is not an option.However, Lyric doesn’t mind being lovesick. She and her boyfriend are knee-deep in love and the “lifestyle”. Their relationship is full of excitement, raunchiness, and spontaneity. Yet, once he settles into the lifestyle and presents Lyric with an ultimatum, she is forced to decide how knee-deep in love and the lifestyle she is willing to be.While Lyric contemplates allowing her heart to make her decision instead of her mind, Tricey’s bitterness drives her to secretly stalk her boyfriend, which leads to a revelation of hidden deception and the biggest blow of deceit she has ever experienced.
Author
Author of Urban Chick Lit, Erotica, and Contemporary Urban Fiction... Jessica N. Watkins was born April 1st in Chicago, Illinois. She obtained a Bachelors of Arts with Focus in Psychology from DePaul University and Masters of Applied Professional Studies with focus in Business Administration from the like institution. Working in Hospital Administration for the majority of her career, Watkins has also been an author of fiction literature since the young age of nine. Eventually she used writing as an outlet during her freshmen year of high school as a single parent: “In the third grade I entered a short story contest with a fiction tale of an apple tree that refused to grow despite the efforts of the darling main character. My writing evolved from apple trees to my seventh and eighth grade classmates paying me to read novels I had written about kids our age living the lives our parents wouldn’t dare let us”. At the age of twenty-eight, Watkins’ chronicles have matured into steamy, humorous, and realistic tales of women's literature. She hopes that The Epitome of Femistry series will successfully emulate ideal femininity while tackling stereotypes, familiar heartache, and relatable distress in a humorous, sophisticated, and erotic fashion.
