Here is a short sample from the book:
The Jelly Baby shot had indeed been great, for an assistant who had apparently never prepared one before. Bernie had been excited when she saw them, and happy that Holly had taken one, too.�Holly had silently thanked the heavens that Bernie hadn’t requested another immediately thereafter. She was tired of preparing shots, even if it had meant spending time with her yummy new assistant.�“So, can I ask you a question?” Holly looked at Jake.�“Is it Sonic related?”�“No.”�“Then, shoot.”�“How on earth did a hooligan and a doctor become friends?”�The laughter that followed was roaring loud. Holly had clearly missed something, but when she noticed tears streaming down Leo’s face, she put two and two together.�“You were into cage fighting, too. You hooligan,” she teased Jake.�“Now that was a long time ago.”�“That used to be the shit,” Leo said defensively.�“What, beating people up?” Holly asked.�“Never had the time to beat them up,” Jake explained. “It took a mere round or two to knock them out, stone-cold.”�“Always?” she looked at Jake.�“No, not always.”�“How did your mom feel about that?”�He chuckled. “Didn’t like it one bit.”�“I’ll bet,” she said. “Why did you stop?”�Leo gave Jake a concerned look, which in turn made Holly feel like crap.�“You don’t need to answer. Forget I asked…”�“Why not? It’s fine. I got badly injured. So badly that the doctor told me I’d never walk again.”�Holly could feel this was a very sensitive topic and she wanted to kick herself for bringing it up.�“But thanks to Leo and Bernie, I’m walking again.”�“Seriously?” She looked at Bernie.�“I’m a good friend,” Bernie sang.�Holly chortled. “Yeah, you’re okay.”�“And that’s when you became a doctor,” Leo stated.�“Yeah, there are more important things to live for.”�“Like a married woman.”�Bernie, Holly and even Jake gasped.�“Thanks, Leo.” Jake was none too pleased about that faux pas.�“Sorry dude, it slipped out.”�“I knew it would come out when the shooters started flowing.” Bernie looked at Leo and sniggered, “You, my angel, can’t keep a secret.”�“Shut up.” He sounded really upset, but then Jake started to laugh.�“You’re a home-wrecker, too?” Holly asked him, incredulously.�“Not in the least. I didn’t do a damn thing.”�“That’s the reason we haven’t seen you for the past three months,” Bernie asked.�“It was hard, okay?” He looked at Bernie.�“Jake, we help each other, always have.”�“I know, and I’m sorry I didn’t come to you guys.”�“Do we know her?”�Holly knew that once the secret was out, Bernie would interrogate them.�“No, you don’t,” Jake replied, quickly.�“I can’t believe you didn’t come to us.”

The Horny Heart? by Paula Jacobsson
Show me ONE person who doesn’t want to have an amazing and breathtaking sex life! Not that everybody considers sex to be the most important factor in life, but when we do engage in sexual activities we want to experience the stuff that rocks our world and leaves us lying in bed spent and happy with a silly grin on our faces. I know I do. But, how do we go about it? Well, as far as I have understood the majority go out to buy some new spicy underwear, a sex toy or two, watch porn together or something to that effect. In many cases that might help to put some zing back into the relationship for a short while, but the effect doesn’t last and instead of rushing back to the store for some more supplies they need to turn back inwards, towards their relationship. The media feeds us with a zillion different outfits, looks, toys and porn-inspired scenarios to make us believe that’s what’s missing. They couldn’t be more wrong because the most important factor to a fulfilling and awe-inspiring sex life is….wait for it: INTIMACY. Read that again. Intimacy. Some say you can read this word as: In-to-me-see. And that’s just it. When you relate to someone intimately, you know them deep down, you can read their eyes and gestures for an update on the mood right now, you know their dreams, innermost needs and wishes, there is absolutely no end to the possibilities and dimensions that you can experience together. This doesn’t mean that every sexual encounter need be an earth moving experience; sometimes it’s ok with the wham-bam-variety. Why doesn’t intimacy sell? Well, it takes time. There is no quick-fix and we live in an age where instant gratification is key. On the other hand many also recognize that these quick-fixes leave us with a feeling of emptiness. Porn shows us a warped version of “reality” by presenting always-ready-to-go-solutions where all the participants at all times are a hundred percent focused on sex and nothing else. Newflash! Nobody in the real world lives or functions like that. If they’re emotionally healthy that is. If you want to settle for porn, that’s your choice, but be aware that you are settling for something that can never be anything but a cheap and sadly lacking copy of the real thing. You have this extraordinary possibility of really living, right here, right now, don’t sell yourself short. So, instead of spending precious time on running around trying to find the aphrodisiac that is missing in a sex shop or on the internet, spend time together with your partner, as well as with yourself, make an effort to get to know each other better, listen attentively, tell each other about vulnerabilities, needs, sorrows, joys and dreams. In fact use every waking moment together to find out something more about your partner, look at it as an adventure, a treasure to be excavated, lovingly. The book “The Horny Heart?” is an outspoken, inspirational, easy-going but still serious reminder that we need to make conscious choices in order to have the fantastic and enriching experiences we all dream of.

Gwenn uncovers a photo that brings her imaginary world careening into reality. She’s forced to ask herself if wealthy artist, Daniel Gregory is the answer she’s been seeking or a grand delusion.
Break-ups, meltdowns, family secrets, wild nights and finally a journey of self-discovery to exotic New Zealand keep Gwenn and Rachel stumbling toward independence.
