For this week for Books You Need to Read, we are featuring Larry Wilson Jr.’s King of Erotica Series 1-4
King of Erotica 1:
Imagine a perfect world that seems like heaven on the outside but on the inside…hell, lies and deceit interweaves the bitter, passionate and lost into a monster of its own design. In the eyes of society, most people live cookie-cutter lives. They try to be better than everybody, boast about what they have and they selfishly show off their houses, lovers and cars to a world sick with confusion, bias and racism. They lie to themselves for the sake of acceptance.
KOE 2:
The Crown is a dizzying array of articulate, sexually charged stories with a message. The King promises to once again make bedroom mattresses cry in shame.
KOE 3
Larry Wilson, Jr is living proof that just because you wind up in jail doesn’t mean you have to fall prey to its darkness. He is an enigma, a success, and the year 2009 will promise to bring him unparalleled success and make him a house hold name. Four years of childhood abuse molded him into the writer he has become. His ability to write emotional characters has won over his loyal readers. The absence of his father led to several failed relationships that became the pinnacle of his explosive writing. He co-authored and co-edited an anthology called “Voices From Within,” released on World AIDS Day in 2000.
KOE 4:
He’s a SOUTHRIDGE SPARTAN from GOULDS, FLORIDA. And proud of it! Could this quite possibly be the last The King of Erotica novel ever…? FATE WILLIAMS was abused by her own flesh and blood mother over the years. After poisoning her mother’s drink, she has to plan her mother’s funeral. But someone won’t let her forget…Ex-prostitute, PRINCESS WEBSTER’S stomach sticks out further than her Booty-Do…because she’s pregnant!

Online romances get a dose of reality in OWN’S all-new love & relationship series ‘The Never Ever Mets’
Hosted by Ta’Rhonda Jones, this 10-episode series features seven couples who have been virtually dating for some time and believe they may have found lasting love – only they have never met each other in person.
OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network has announced an all-new relationship series that takes online dating into the real world, The Never Ever Mets.
About The Never Ever Mets Series
Hosted by Ta’Rhonda Jones, this 10-episode series features seven couples who have been virtually dating for some time and believe they may have found lasting love – only they have never met each other in person! Now, they’re meeting face-to-face for the very first time and sharing a house together for three weeks to see if their internet love can survive off the screen and in real life.
Synopsis
As all seven couples convene under the same roof, dating in person rather than through their computers or phones quickly proves to be the biggest challenge yet.
While many couples have been years in the making, some quickly find the in-person relationship is not what they anticipated.
To test the strength of their love connections, the group participates in a series of fun and flirty relationship activities, couples therapy and for some, a trip to the “boom boom room.” But visits from discerning loved ones, meddling opinions and tension from others in the house challenge their bonds even further. At the end of their stay, some will go home together…and some will be signing off for good.
Premiere
The series premieres on Friday, April 19 at 8pm ET/PT, on the OWN Network.
