A Thin Line Between Love and Lust: A Polyamorous Love Story Kindle Edition

by C E Long (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 120 ratings
Dominique - A hurricane tore this sweet southern girl from her family. She moved to California to escape the memories and forget the pain. It worked. The fast life drew her in and before she knew it, she was dancing for dollars at strip clubs. She was numb. It wasn’t until Prince came along that the flood gates opened, releasing the pain of her past. But the losses she’s suffered may have left a hole too big for one man to fill.

Angela - A single mother of two young boys, Angie’s an independent woman overwhelmed with responsibilities. After divorcing a husband who chose the streets over his family, she’s ready to experience life in new ways. When she meets Prince, a whirlwind love affair gets her back into her groove. But it was only supposed to be fun, she didn’t plan on falling for a man who is already taken.

Nyla - Teased as a kid for her looks, Nyla grew up never feeling pretty. When an older man began showing her special attention, she fell for him hard. He showered her with gifts and sweet words and she returned the favor with her body. When he left her pregnant to go home to his wife, she learned then that men can’t be trusted. They only want one thing, and they’ll pretend to love you to get it. And this Prince character didn’t seem any different.

Prince - Girls always loved Prince, he was their best friend. But being a best friend wasn’t getting him what he wanted out of a relationship. How do you get out of the friend zone? How do you get a woman to see you as more than the nice guy she can talk to? When he learns how, women start to flock to him and he ends up with more than he can handle. But when each woman brings her own struggles and pain, how will he handle his own?

From the Author

While reading the thoughts you'll see here, I encourage you to consider this statement as true: Words themselves are neither proper nor vulgar. They're only sounds you form with your mouth or letters arranged on a page that different societies have defined for you. It's the energy and emotion behind a word that holds its true meaning, which you define for yourself. I hope while you read this book, your mind fills with beautiful, erotic, and loving thoughts, because those energies are behind every word you'll see. Enjoy, but fair warning, this may get a little raunchy.

Much Love,

C. E. Long

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

C E Long is from the San Francisco Bay Area, California. His writing is inspired by real-life experiences and stimulated with erotic fantasy, creating characters and stories that draw you in and hold you close. He is not an advocate for polyamory, but instead, an advocate for beings to explore their own life's happiness and find what's right for them. A Thin Line Between Love and Lust is his first published novel and details just one of the infinite unique journeys to find love.

He writes for the open minds, those not afraid to think outside of the box, those willing to risk breaking the mold in order to find their true selves. He also writes for those in need of freedom, those trapped by the weight of limits and boundaries, those in need of just one vision of something different to know they have the power to choose their own destiny.

    “A man’s ‘pose to… you know… love you. How you gonna find someone to do that if he has to pay you? Love takes risks and all you’re gonna get are men who think they can buy you. If they can buy you, they’ll think they can own you. Nothin’ real can grow outta that.”

    📍 “From that day on I felt I’d missed the most important day of my life. If I could, I’d go back in time just to spend that last visit with them, even if it meant I had to die with them at the end of it.”

    “I tell this story not to depress you, but to keep you in check. To let you know this isn’t a book just about sex. It’s about real feelings, real emotions, and real relationships. It’s about things that we should take serious. This is not your average romance novel.”

    I was hesitant about reading this book but I'm glad I took the chance because 💯 I loved this story!!!! !!

    4.0 out of 5 stars I do advocate...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This sat on my list for over a year, unfortunately getting buried by all the new titles that I added. A scroll brought it back to my attention. I'm poly-leaning so it was an easy choice.

    I enjoyed reading a man's pov that was written by a man. Though the conversation after the hair braiding was a little off putting. I suppose bc they're were so young but, perhaps men speak like that to their sons and nephews when moms aren't around. Idk

    The author said he doesn't advocate the poly lifestyle but I'm all for everyone loving how they want as long as they're consenting adults. This was an interesting take on romance that showed a bit of realism. I don't think many authors would have been brave enough to include children in the mix. I wasn't even sure how I felt about it at first. Especially bc they were so open with it. A hug and a kiss are alright but I think I read that they were making out on the couch with the children there. That is meant for closed doors when they aren't alone, imo.

    It was a quick read. I enjoyed the dynamic and how there was little to no drama just for the sake of having conflict. Finding out about their backgrounds made them easier to care about. They worked as a unit and were constantly trying to better themselves - just like how real relationships should work. I love black love and happy to read it with no king pins, hustlers or drug lords in sight. wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about Angie? but had to go back to my previous statement of the freedom of choice - she grew on me by the end.

    This maybe one of the worst books Ive ever read. Definitely the worst Ive read in a few years.

    Man...ill keep this short. Same story uve seen a thousand times..lame guy who couldny get girls in high school..goes to college..is a lame there...goes to strip club..meets the woman of his dreams...and she LIKES HIM? He beds her and he is suddenly the best lover ever, even tho he nwver had any practice cuz hes a lame.

    So much of a lame that he never sees the game/con that the stripper chick is putting on him.

    Im sorry thats alk i have cuz i had to put the book down and flash myself with The Men In Black thingy so i can forget about this awful book.

    This is the 1st book ive wanted to send back to Amazon thru the kindle.

    I wouldve voted for zero stars yet ey dont let you

    Dont buy, read, or recommend it ti ANYONE
