A Love Story Born From Longing and Rediscovery

The genesis of this book stems from the initial three chapters. Without any idea of what the feedback would be, I shared it with a couple of friends. Each one of them was asking for the rest of the story. Some were violently against Julia’s action, few wanted to justify her behavior, but most wanted to know if he survived the encounter. So you, the readers, are really for a treat. This is the finished project.

Imagine standing at the crossroads of passion and mystery, where every path leads to an enigmatic tale waiting to be unraveled. Julia's Attitude, Carla's Love: A Male Perspective offers a riveting exploration of human emotion, deftly navigating the complex terrain of relationships through the eyes of Maxime, a man caught between the contrasting worlds of two women.

The main point reflects the way of thinking based on general observation. Julia’s character, with her aloof demeanor and guarded heart, believes that only physical pleasure satisfies the condition of love. She thinks love equals satisfying her man’s lust and desires are enough. Carla’s character, the embodiment of warmth and open-hearted love, used a different approach, adopting the normal process. Any relationship that starts with conversation, communication, and collaboration will progress into a healthy and satisfying relationship. The feeling is the logical progression after the friendship and confidence. Maxime must face Julia, with a gun in her hand, asking for love! Can a feeling be forced? Is love only a physical act? He is caught between two flames, lust and love, and Maxime must choose carefully if he does not, leave his skin or survive the encounter are the alternative.

“Love from Far Away… Under Your Nose”

As Maxime navigates the emotional labyrinth between Julia and Carla, he is forced to confront his desires and fears. His journey is not just about understanding the women in his life, but also about discovering his truths. Maxime's male perspective offers a unique lens through which we explore themes of vulnerability, longing, and the eternal quest for connection.

If you want to find out how it ends, take a moment to read the context, the motivation of each character, the background, and the justification behind the resulting behavior. I was stunned to see which team my test group readers would align with. Will you be on team Julia or team Carla?

As I poured my heart into this novel, I grappled with the complexities of human relationships, the sacrifices we make for love, and the resilience required to overcome life's obstacles. It is my sincere hope that readers will be transported by Carla and Maxime’s story; and that it will resonate with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet situation between love and lust.

In the end, “Love from Far Away... Under Your Nose” is not just a work of fiction — it is a love letter to the human experience, a celebration of the enduring power of connection, and a testament to the transformative potential of the heart. I invite you to embark on this journey with me, to explore the depths of love, and to rediscover the beauty that may be right under your nose.

Happy reading!
