Are you tired of swiping right and left on dating apps, only to be disappointed with the results? Want to know what really goes on behind the scenes of online dating? "Dating Women Online: True Stories of Online Dating" is the book you need to read.

Follow the true story of a man on a journey to break free from his enmeshed past and become the person he was meant to be. Discover the psychological profile of a wounded man and the deep enmeshment issues that have led to his life of womanizing. See the kinds of interactions he has with the women he meets online and in person, and understand the futility of his search for love.

This man's story is not unique. Many men today struggle with similar issues, making this book not only a fascinating read but also a valuable insight into the human psyche. The women he meets on his journey have their own issues, leaving us to question why they would engage with a man who has such obvious problems.

As he navigates the familiar dating platforms such as Plenty of Fish, OKCupid!, Match.com, and Hot or Not, he encounters a range of successes and failures. Will he find the woman of his dreams online? Will he finally break free from his enmeshed past? The answers to these questions and more can be found within the pages of this book.

"Dating Women Online: True Stories of Online Dating" is a must-read for anyone who has tried their luck at online dating or is simply curious about what goes on behind the scenes.

 Xerxes was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska. The one thing about living in Alaska you should know is that it’s cold as fuck. In January it can reach -60 degrees Fahrenheit. It doesn’t just dip to -60 either. It gets there and stays there for three solid weeks, night and day. Not that there’s much daytime there either. It’ll be light for maybe two hours during the day, the rest of the time is dark. 


When he was 18 he moved to Portland, Oregon and studied communications at Lewis and Clark College. While in college he traveled to Ecuador and lived with a Spanish-speaking family for five months. He biked 50km down a mountain along the Amazon River and studied ancient Incan culture. After graduating he worked various jobs in Portland, Seattle, and Anchorage, Alaska.


He traveled to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. He met his future wife at a café in Tallinn, Estonia. They lived in Europe together for two years and ten they moved to Alaska and lived in a cabin in the woods with no running water for seven years. They bought a house in the city during the mortgage crisis and lost a lot of money. They got divorced and his wife moved back to Europe. 


After divorcing he moved to Idaho. He loves it there and is perfectly happy.

First, I want to thank Xerxes and Poomiha Press for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


WOW!! I have read some books on online dating stories but none as blunt, transparent, and over the top as Xerxes did in The Online Dating Experiences. For this short read it was packed with very interesting stories and we got to know a lot about this author (maybe too much at times). 


I appreciated how Xerxes opened up to his readers and let us into his past with his ex wife (which is a very interesting story in itself). This way we got a back story to how he ended up going on so many dates on Plenty of Fish, Hot or Not and Ok Cupid. I had to laugh as I tried those sites in the past and have my own horror stories I could share. 


Each chapter is dedicated to the girl he decided to meet. Some stories of his dating life I found more interesting than others. I think my favorite of all the woman has to be Scarlett. Although the trans woman experiences were interesting. 


Xerxes in his conclusion reflects on what he has learned throughout his online dating experience and gives advice of his own.

Oh how I LOVE Lindsey Daly Would You Rather Books!!! I am such a huge kid at heart and got such a kick out of her Easter Edition! I found myself laughing out loud hysterically at some of the questions. I was wishing my nieces and nephews were in town to play along! They would have had a blast playing it! 


I absolutely loved the colorful basket of Easter Eggs on the front cover! It made you excited to see what Lindsey had in store for you. 


With every book Lindsey writes up a cute little introduction to the book. In the introduction she describes in detail how to play the game. In between questions you will sometimes find cute little illustrations. 


Would You Rather Easter Edition is a great book that will allow you and your family to spend good quality time together! You can open up the lines of communication and have some fun! It really is a must read book that will leave smiles on your faces!

In this chilling story from the bestselling author of The Secret Mother, it’s the wedding day of Alice’s dreams. Until it becomes a nightmare…

Alice and Seth are a perfect love story: the handsome doctor and his beautiful fiancée. They’re wealthy, well liked and made for each other—the envy of all their friends. Alice can’t wait for the day of their dream wedding. But when she arrives at the altar, she doesn’t recognise the man waiting to marry her.

When this stranger insists he’s Seth, her husband-to-be, the entire congregation seems to agree. Even her parents try to persuade Alice to go through with the wedding.

As panic sets in, Alice’s world comes apart. Where is the real Seth, and why have all traces of him disappeared from her life? Fearing she’s losing her mind, she sets out to uncover the truth and escape the nightmare she’s living in. But with everyone around her convinced by the fake Seth, how can she ever hope to find the man she loves?

The Silent Bride

Review By
Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Shalini Boland, Amazon Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with this book so that I can bring you this review. 


WOW!!! WOW!! WOW!!! Shalini Boland is back with another incredibly addicting and intense emotional rollercoaster of a read in The Silent Bride. You may want to clear your schedule as once you start reading the more questions you will have about the twisted storyline! You just can’t put it down til you know how it all plays out! 


Instantly, I was hooked on this storyline as I put myself into Alice’s shoes! I can remember all the anxieties she was feeling right before her wedding day. However nothing could prepare Alice or myself for realizing the man at the alter was not her Seth! Who was that man?! Why was it not Seth?! Where was he?! I needed to find out!!! My mind was racing just like Alice’s!! Not to mention my heart was aching for this to be the happiest day of her life!! Now it is a nightmare that she can’t seem to wake up from!! 


The Silent Bride is unlike any story I have read in the past! It was fresh, new, eye opening and totally mind blowing! I can see people talking about this book way after they are done with the book! I am dying to know how she came up with this storyline as it is so unique. 


One thing that I really liked that Shalini did is when she went in the past her font turned to italics. This way you could differentiate between the past and present. 


There was a big revelation that Alice had about her two past boyfriends that really resonated with me. Her lesson was an eye opener that I had never seen in myself til I saw it written in this book. 


The Silent Bride threw some wicked curve balls one right after the other! The revelations in this book will just leave you speechless!! I am still in shock!! 


Please, go out and put The Silent Bride by Shalini Boland on your Pre Order list to have on your TBR list! It is a must read! Definitely, a 5 star read!
