THE OMGWTFFANFIC: I totally didn’t expect this. Because it’s not one of the two approved holes? Harden up! The author goes into tedious detail with the other sex scenes, but not this one. There’s one brief anal scene, but it’s so brief that it’s not even graphic. I told you this story don’t have enough plot to fill three books, but milking the cash cow… A lot of sex, a lot of angst, and a lot of paparazzi fill up the pages. We won’t find out until the final novel, Complete Me, in late July 2013.Īnd that’s the entire plot. Damien is being indicted for murder, but this being a romance, he probably won’t be convicted. The police never looked into it, until now. Damien’s abuser committed suicide those years ago. It becomes public that Damien paid Nikki one million dollars to pose for an erotic nude portrait.

Theatre: Ambassador Theatre, 215 West 49th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue Theatre Review by Matthew Murray - April 7, 2002 His father, William Wilde, was an acclaimed doctor who was knighted for his work as a medical advisor for the Irish censuses. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on October 16, 1854, in Dublin, Ireland. He was imprisoned for two years and died in poverty three years after his release at the age of 46. Unconventional in his writing and life, Wilde’s affair with a young man led to his arrest on charges of "gross indecency" in 1895. As a dramatist, many of Wilde’s plays were well received including his satirical comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his most famous play. In 1891, he published The Picture of Dorian Gray, his only novel which was panned as immoral by Victorian critics, but is now considered one of his most notable works. After graduating from Oxford University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. Author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde was a popular literary figure in late Victorian England. |
