Shelley: Box Set 1 (Books 1-4 of the Shelley Series) - Shelley, #6 - E-book - ePub

Books 1-4 of the Shelley series!Book 1:What is love? Does it know boundaries? Or is it really blind to our physical appearance?Shelley is a young woman working at a local restaurant and has been for the last couple of years. While she is often asked out, every man is gently turned away in order to preserve her secret. Matt is a lawyer, married to his work with one weekly joy, sitting in the same booth enjoying the occasion chat with a certain skirt whirling waitress.
Our emotions can only be bottled up for so long, keep them hidden away and they only grow stronger until eventually they can no longer be denied. Held down too long and they can cause us to act without thought. Emotions bottle up over several years of flirting at a restaurant can prove exceptionally dangerous, putting secrets on the line and placing long held friendships at risk. Come explore the perils of love, of placing secrets on the line to hope for something more.
Find out if love really is blind or if there are more consequences than it is worth. Book 2:Sometimes a door opens to a new life. For Shelley she's finding her new love is just the start of an awakening. As much as finding love and acceptance from one person is beautiful in and of itself, as humans we need the love, support, and knowledge of many. Sometimes finding the right network of help can be difficult, even nearly impossible, until a surprise door opens.
Matt's taking Shelley on a little cruise to celebrate their relationship and how far they've come since that first night. For Shelley she's both excited about the opportunity and nervous because she can't just behave like any other woman. There are always extra things she has to do to blend in and she's oh so tired of having to hide herself from the rest of the world. The cruise starts out just as one would expect, the excited customers, the fun of setting out to sea, and the introductory gathering while the sponsor of the cruise speaks.
But the sponsor makes one comment that Shelley doesn't expect, one that changes her life and perspective. An opportunity to be who she'd like to be. Cruise of Lust is the second book of the Shelley series, a look into the growth and change of a young MtF transgender person going through the trials of love, friendship, and accepting herself. Book 3:Life is full of new experiences and new opportunities, we only need to shelve our fears to earn the chance to enjoy them.
Shelley is wrapping up from her semester and looking forwards to having time to herself and with Matt. For her that means getting back into the group that held the cruise and checking in with the local chapter. She finds they've started the process of building a private getaway for the members and are looking for volunteers to help lay the groundwork during a weekend camping trip. One of the biggest things about the group that Shelley is learning to grasp is all of the identities that people have for gender, relationships, and sexuality.
Sure she'd had an inkling about some of them, but there were many more than she'd ever come to appreciate. The group exposed her to the variety of people and piqued her curiosity, reminding her of the relatively few experiences she'd ever had in love and sex. How to go about these experiences and would Matt be willing to let her have them? Or will he be upset that she's pushing too far too fast? Has she pushed enough with getting him to explore his own sexuality, of which he still has yet to fully embrace her.
Shelley: The Resort is a book about exploring one's own self and learning to put aside social standards in order to become more comfortable with ourselves. It is one person's explorations about her own sexuality and relationship to learn what sex means to her and how it plays a role in the many relationship she'll have, be they love or otherwise. B...
