ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 10, 2022

Wren Beaumont is many things.

Beautiful.
Smart.
Sweet.
Innocent.

At Lancaster Prep, the girls love her. They all want to be her friend. Only I see Wren for who she really is.

A repressed little virgin who keeps her feelings locked up so tight she’s probably close to bursting. She thinks she’s above us all.

Even me.

I shouldn’t be drawn to her. She’s not my type.

Until we’re forced to work together in class and realize we might have more things in common than we originally thought. Soon enough I find myself completely obsessed. I will do anything for this girl to make her fall in love with me.

Anything.

REVIEW:A MILLION KISSES IN YOUR LIFETIME by Monica Murphy is a contemporary, YA/NA stand alone erotic, romance story line set in the author’s THINGS I WANTED TO SAY (BUT NEVER DID) world. This is prep school students Crew Lancaster, and Wren ‘Birdy’ Beaumont’s story line. A MILLION KISSES IN YOUR LIFETIME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Crew is Whit Lancaster’s cousin (Things I Wanted To Say); Crew’s brother Grant’s story can be found in the novella- THE WRONG BROTHER.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Although the characters are seventeen and eighteen years old, the sexual situations are adult in nature.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Crew and Wren) A MILLION KISSES IN YOUR LIFETIME follows the tempestuous but building relationship between Lancaster Prep Boarding School eighteen year olds Crew Lancaster, and Wren Beaumont. Crew Lancaster is part of the school ‘legacy’, and as such his attitude is that of ownership and power, and something about newcomer Wren Beaumont irks Crew Lancaster like never before, so he makes it his mission to discover everything about our heroine whether she wants him to or not. Forced to work together on a psychology assignment, Wren and Crew slowly unravel the ins and outs of one another’s lives, an unravelling that pulls our couple closer together but all is not well at Lancaster Prep when a teacher is found to be crossing the line. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Wren and Crew, and the potential fall-out when Wren’s over protective father threatens to end the relationship before it gets started.

Crew Lancaster is a bully, and Wren is his current target but the acrimonious back and forth between our story line couple hides a barely veiled attraction that quickly turns into something more. From the outset, Wren’s new girl status made her popular amongst the other girls but slowly, Wren’s likability fell when the mean girls decided it was time to target our story line heroine. Wren is an innocent; naïve to many of the boy/girl nuances but an innocence fueled by the people at home.

The relationship between Crew and Wren is often testy and acerbic but Wren has no idea why Crew took an immediate dislike to our story line heroine. Working together meant a forced proximity, that pushed our couple together towards their own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are introduced to Crew’s family including his brothers, Finn and Grant, girlfriend Alyssa (THE WRONG BROTHER), their sister Charlotte, and Wren’s parents Harvey and Cecily, whose own relationship is combative and failing; Crews’ friends Malcolm and Ezra; Wren’s friend Maggie Gipson, as well as embattled Honors English teacher Mr. Figueroa, psychology teacher Ms. Skov, and the requisite mean girls. Charlotte’s story will be released in April 2022-The Reluctant Bride.

A MILLION KISSES IN YOUR LIFETIME is a story of power, control, money, and trust; family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is tender and seductive; the characters are animated and intense.
