Tyler POV

She took a step to steady herself and tripped on my foot. I grabbed her before she fell onto the coffee table.
“Whoops!” I said. “Are you okay?”
I had my arms around her to keep her from falling, her shoulder leaned against my chest. She turned toward me and looked up. Her long eyelashes blinking.
“Nice catch,” she said, her voice a sexy whisper. The feeling of one of her tits pushed against me along with that voice and that look made my cock stir.
This girl was effortlessly sexy.
She put her hands on my arms to regain her footing and giggled. “So big. And hard,” she said, running her hands on my biceps.
She was drunk, but damn. This girl was killing me.
“Let’s check out that view,” she said, tottering over to the sliding glass doors.
I stayed close to make sure she didn’t stumble again.
We stepped out onto the balcony, and I slid the glass door shut behind us. She swayed on her feet, and I put my hand on her back to steady her. “Easy, easy.”
She’d only had two glasses of champagne, and she was already tipsy. Cute, but dangerous.
She giggled. “We’re up so high!”
“Have you been to New York before?”
“I’ve barely been anywhere,” she said. “This is amazing.”
I looked down at her as she stared at the New York skyline. She let her head rest against me. A warm summer breeze blew across my face. A giddy feeling shivered through my body. I’d only had one glass of champagne, and I weighed over two hundred pounds. I couldn’t be drunk, could I? Maybe it was the drink and the sugar from the dessert. I rarely ate it.
But I doubted that was the reason. This fluttery feeling in my chest was because of Betty.
I leaned down to kiss the top of her head and stopped myself. This wasn’t a date. This was my nanny.

She, You, I
Sally Keeble
Publication date: January 11th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary

An emotional page-turner of a story about a family torn apart by the legacy of war that asks the question: what happens to the hurt we can’t forget?
When Skye Stanhope returns to her grandmother’s childhood home, she’s searching for the roots of her life story. Why her tough-minded granny ran away to war. And why her brilliant mother died.

Behind the women’s successes, lies deep trauma. As Skye strips away the layers of secrecy, she confronts their inner torments: forces that bound the women together, but also tore them apart. It’s a journey from a poverty-stricken tenement block to an airbase in wartime Suffolk, through boom-time London to a coffee cart beside the sea.

Woven into the women’s lives is Tseng Hsiao Ling, a feisty, enigmatic seamstress whose fortunes become inextricably linked with theirs.

It’s a sweeping tale of love, war and family secrets over three generations.

Through each woman’s story, “She, You, I” holds up a mirror to the complexity of family relationships: mothers, sisters, daughters, and the unexpected twists in Skye’s search for closure.

“She”

Maisie’s story

She was safe under the bed. Metal strips above, bare boards below, her father’s tin trunk behind—name, rank, number engraved on its lid. “All you need to know about a man,” her father said. A blanket hung over the edge of the bed. Maisie lay behind it and clenched her fists against her chest to keep in the fear.

Tonight was bad.

“Floozy!”

“No!”

Shouts from the kitchen. Them fighting. She curled up and squeezed her eyes shut, covered her ears to make it stop. Anything to make it stop.

“You’re my wife.”

A scream from the kitchen ran through her body. And then another, and another, until the whole night became a scream. She tried to block it out, but she couldn’t. It was inside her ears, inside her head. She was the scream. And then it stopped. She took her hands from her ears and listened. Nothing. Silence.

Maisie lifted the blanket and peered into the room. Gaslight from the street spilt over the tattered strip of net curtain nailed across the window. It glinted off the broken mirror above the empty fireplace, touched the two best chairs on their square of worn carpet, and lit up the locked front door out to the landing of the tenement.

In the far corner was the door into the other room, the kitchen. A spindly table stood next to the door, with a piece of lacey cloth draped over it, “To hide its legs,” her mother said, and on it was china figurine of a man in a kilt with a lamb around his neck and a dog at his feet.

Beside the figurine was a photograph in a round frame of pleated cloth. Her mother, Flora, her hair swept up into a chignon and set with glittery jewels—only glass, she said—sat on a chair and behind her stood a soldier, uniformed, his face unmarked, handsome, with jet-black hair and a wide moustache that curled up at the ends like a smile. Her father, Simon. One arm was crocked behind him, the other stretched along the back of the chair, cradling her mother, and the greys of their clothes swirled around the whites of their faces and blended into the beige of the fabric that enclosed them.

The night the glass in the frame got broken wasn’t as bad as this.

I glance over at Lou’s house as I pull onto my drive, surprised that it is still in darkness. Lou and the kids should have been home from school long ago. I should be preparing a delicious meal for my children as they tell me about their day. But Lou’s car is nowhere to be seen…

The night is drawing in and Lou has still not returned. I try not to panic, but deep down I know something is wrong. Lou is the most dependable friend. Our children are at the same school. We always help each other out, and she cares for my two like only a mother can.

As a storm rages outside and local news reports tell everyone to stay indoors, a feeling of deep dread starts to swell. Then the call comes. The police have found Lou’s car, with my children’s schoolbags still inside along with Lou’s phone. But they are nowhere to be seen.

Clutching my husband’s hands, willing our children to be found safe and sound, I try to silence the voice inside my head. 
I’ve not been honestI’m being punished for what happened all those years ago.

 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 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.
