The sky is limitless and so are the clouds soaked in red wine that connote nothing less than the unceasing raw passion of oozing sexuality and perpetual sensual vigour that follows the symphony of breaths. If there is something magically romantic beyond red lips, blushed cheeks, erotic love bites and bubbling episodes of steamy scenes, that’s what this book desperately longs to explore and celebrate in the minds of ardent readers. True love and its magic beyond sexual pleasures is the sole promise the book keeps. A toast to all those ardent readers who wretchedly wish to rewrite the rulebook of love, life and laughter in their own terms, this book of five tales is nothing less than a backlash against the hypocrisies and taboos of our traditional pseudo-moralistic morass. Brace yourself to dust your romantic memories if you were in love once. And if you have never been in one to date, steel yourself to fall in love with the idea of being in love. For, it’s the most beautiful, riveting feeling in the world.
