Prologue

“Have you ever wanted to tell someone what you really think of them, good or bad, without any consequences?”-Everett Laughton “If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like a scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.”

Mrs. Dewinter, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca


A book like this cannot be described by the author fairly because it is my creation. As the creator, I long for its success. I can picture the faces of every character. I hear their voices in my mind which gives me a strong connection to them. That is what my wish for you is as well.

When you read this book, you will most likely create faces and voices for the characters that fit your own imagination.

In fact, you can probably hear your own voice right now as you read these words that my mind and heart have created for you.

That is exactly how I want it to be. I created this book for you.

These characters are based on hundreds of different people that I have interacted with in some way over the last twenty years, but also are based on a vast array of characters my imagination has created.

My hope is that the stories in this book will remind you of loved ones that you have been fortunate enough to know in your lifetime. This book is a collection of love stories and a guide to help you understand love. You will be pleased to know that somewhere hidden in the pages of this book is a secret method used by millions of people to find love everyday.

As you progress through the book, you may find yourself on a journey and an adventure. Let your heart do the driving and take time to understand the dialogue between the characters. Your journey will start in the past and will carry you through to the present. Books like this are like roller coasters. In the way that they often carry you from the ground to the highest of elevations and then back down again at hurling speeds. I hope this book is a fun ride for you as it has been a blast for me to write. You may find some strong intensity as the ride progresses. However, you needn’t worry I’ve added a little comedic relieve to prepare you for the main event.

During our lives, love progressively becomes a stronger and more

intense emotion each time we encounter it. Sometimes love disturbs us and sometimes it is joyful, especially when it is true. Some of the content in this book may be disturbing, but there is also joy in the truth that this book speaks. I hope you laugh and cry as you meet the characters of this group of stories. There is a real thing called love that we all need in our lives to survive and thrive. It is here with you now. You

picked up this book in search of something. Not unlike you, when I created this book I was searching for something. I found more than I had hoped for and felt compelled to share it with the world. I found a controversial subject that was not originally meant to be and probably wouldn’t be made public if it wasn’t for this book. I found truths that I had never known.

The truths in this book are with all of us and have been since the beginning of time. I know all this sounds a bit abstract and serious, and some of it is, but I have also included some great real world guidelines and strategies to help you in your search for the big L. By the time you finish this book you’ll be a pro. Well maybe not a pro but you will have tangible skills to use in your day to day life that will take your dating, flirting and sex life to a whole new level. Yes sex life. I do talk about sex in this book and I am not in any way ashamed to couple the two subjects together. Yes love and sex do go together...sometimes.

I am confident that when you finish this book, you will be able to meet new people and instantly make a connection with them that can last a lifetime, if you in fact are interested in doing so. If you are not in it for a learning experience I believe you will at the very least be very entertained. I also believe that anyone reading this book will gain a new prospective on love and possibly find it for themselves.

I believe you will also be able to mend those broken relationships and lay to rest the petty differences that separate you from having close, meaningful connections in your lives.

Love is there for all of us to find and cultivate for ourselves.

Enjoy the book, and soon you will know the secrets of How To Find Love.

My promise to you…...

I promise that if you give this book a chance by reading it all the way through, you will be entertained and you will learn facts and truths about love that you have never known. You will smile and you will also find yourself gasping for air. I almost drowned in my thoughts and emotions twice while writing this book but don’t worry I made it and so will you. Enjoy and as always from Josh good luck.

The meaning of a promise……..

A promise is a binding agreement between souls. The great thing about a promise is that only one person is required to make the agreement. One person can promise something to another and the other is not required to agree. That may be where we are going wrong in todays world. We often want to use a promise as a bargaining tool. A way to receive something we desperately seek. This is not what a promise is supposed to be. A promise is a way for someone to show loyalty. Some people would always find some fault in a promise, a promise to all others is as powerful of a gesture as exists. When a promise is kept it begins to adhere to the fabric of a relationship. That fabric strengthens each and every time a new promise is made and then kept. Our biggest and best relationships are founded and strengthened on promises. Love uses promises as a catalyst for growth and development. I as the author seek a relationship with all of you. I plan to keep my promise to you and hope to have the opportunity to keep many more. Thank you for reading.

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...

jo987_123: This is a good story, but it needs a good editor to go through this iteration and fix the mistakes. The pov changes from 1st person to 3rd person, often, and sometimes within one sentence.
