Escaping the rat race and the lure of gold-digging women, wealthy businessman Vance Banning moves to a small, rural retreat, telling the townsfolk that he's an out-of-work carpenter. All he wants is peace, quiet, and to keep away from women. So the last thing he needs is a charitable neighbor, especially a beautiful, gracious, and persistent neighbor of the female persuasion, but there's something about Shane Abbott he just can't ignore.

Ohh no Nora. Don’t romanticize unhealthy relationships
Revisado: 04-29-19
I don’t know if the author knows they wrote a love story steeped in abuse. But it was written in the 80’s? So, you may want to skip this one. It’s pretty hard to listen to. I kept thinking. Ohh girl you’re in for a world of hurt. This guy is abusive and you’re in a bad relationship.

What did I get myself into

Well there is some sexual assault a romantic relationship between 13 year old and an adult. Graphic assault scenes. If I had known I wouldn't have bought it. I get that this is a real exploration but with my history a little too real

Set in the bathroom of an old house just before dawn on a night in June, Centuries of June is a black comedy about a man who is attempting to tell the story of how he ended up on the floor with a hole in his head. But he keeps getting interrupted by a series of suspects - eight women lying in the bedroom just down the hall. Each woman tells a story drawn from five centuries of American myth and legend in a wild medley of styles and voices.

From the legendary literary master, winner of the National Book Award and New York Times best-selling author Joyce Carol Oates, a collection of ten spellbinding stories that maps the eerie darkness within us all. Insightful, disturbing, and mesmerizing in their lyrical precision, the stories in Lovely, Dark, Deep display Joyce Carol Oates's astonishing ability to make visceral the fear, hurt, and uncertainty that lurks at the edges of ordinary lives.
