Enjoy a Vintage Tale of Romance!
From 1965: Drawn to Other Men
 I was out for a wild gay time. I was going to follow in my parents' footsteps and I didn't care who got hurt.
I NEVER LIKED MY FATHER for as long as I can remember. Maybe that sounds callous, but how can you like a man who makes your life miserable and makes your mother cry? Perhaps long ago, Dad might have been a decent guy--he must have been, or my mother wouldn't have fallen in love with him. But over the years, whatever shred of decency he possessed must have been lost in a bottle. Read Here

Celebrity Romance
Rebels in Love: Goldie and Kurt
 They may never walk down the aisle and say the vows, but every day for nearly 30 years Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been saying I do to loving each other. Perhaps it's the avoidance of actually getting married that has been the secret to their success, as both of them have previously failed in matrimony.
Goldie, who was born in 1945, honed her image as the kooky, daffy blonde in the sketch comedy show Rowen and Martin's Laugh-In, followed by a series of movie roles in which she continued to...Read More About Them

BEDROOM ROULETTE
Love stories from the beginning of the 1970s are about as wild as you can find. This TruLOVE Collection, edited by Ron Hogan of Beatrice.com and Lady Jane Salon fame, contains an amazing selection of stories that epitomize what was happening during the era of "free love!" To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 WHEN LOVE SIZZLES In this latest TruLOVE Collection, you'll discover love and passion that heats up in stormy weather, on a dare in a bar, popping out of a cake at a bachelor party, in a would-be open marriage, and even on one lover's menu. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 LOVE IN STRANGE PLACES You can stumble into true love in the most decidedly unromantic places and under some pretty shocking conditions - as you are about to discover through the stories in this collection. True love is going to find you no matter how down and dirty you look or feel about yourself, how unglamorous the setting, how traumatic your past or present is. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 LOSING IT FOR LOVE
All of us long for true love. Unfortunately, however, some of us despair of ever finding it. Often our nemesis is our weight, although sometimes it's a particular part of our body, like a nose or a chin that is undeniably out of proportion to the rest of our face. Although their motives for changing the course of their lives were different, our heroines all learned the same lesson in the end. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 FORBIDDEN LOVE
No one is immune to the temptation of forbidden love. Many of us merely dip our baby toe into this realm-- perhaps by Googling the names of old lovers to see what they look like now, years later, while our spouse watches television in another room. The stories in this collection let us venture deeply into the libidinous world of forbidden love. Sit back and succumb to its pleasures. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
 FALLING IN LOVE . . . AGAIN It's hard to imagine that out of the depths of despair a new opportunity for love can emerge, but in these tales you'll meet a jilted bride, a single mom, a 9/11 widow, and a bitter city girl who all get a second chance at loving happily ever after. Whether you're heartbroken or have sworn off love forever; love may come when you least expect it. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com  WHEN LOVE GOES BAD Anyone who's ever loved and lost will relate to the tales of timeless relationship-busters like controlling creeps, two-timing traitors and maniacal mothers-in-law! Even "been there, done that" readers will be surprised by the extraordinary accounts of love destroyed by an affair exposed on national TV, a Botox babe, and a handsome, but heartless, doctor.
