The Velvet Touch by Kathy Marvel – a suspense novel

Luke and Allie are a young, newly-married couple living in the suburbs of Colorado, about to start a family together and with what most would describe as a perfect life.  They are so much in love with each other and this new life that they have begun, that they are clearly under the impression that nothing can tarnish this delightful world they live in.  Unbeknownst to Luke and Allie, an intruder is about to make their perfect little world come crashing down around them.  Not only does evil touch them but in fact, it infiltrates their lives.  This evil comes in the form of Velvet – a young woman who is desperate to gain access to Luke and his life – without the burden of Allie.  Even as Luke and Allie begin to realize what is happening, they rationalize and create explanations for unexplained occurrences simply because they cannot believe what is in fact true – someone has been in their house.  Not only has someone been in their house, but that someone, has spent hour upon hour rummaging through each and every drawer, closet, cupboard, and room.  Who is this person and what does she want?

The Seven Year Bitch – Kindle Edition

People speak often of, “The Seven Year Itch.”  This is a time period in which it is said that marriage becomes tough, partners seem to clash, and marriages tend to dissolve.  The addition of children seems to add to that stress.  Making it beyond this stage in a marriage is truly a huge achievement.  In it for the long haul – they call it.  Even for those that make it through those tough times, it isn’t easy.  Marriage takes work.  The key is to let go of the small stuff, and concentrate on the big picture.  Put things into perspective.  This book is meant to do just that.

The Seven Year Bitch and a Little Perspective takes the reader through the griping that commonly occurs among girlfriends when they have the opportunity to get together.  More often than not, husbands are the focus of such griping.  As women, we all love our husbands dearly, yet we gripe.  The Seven Year Bitch and a Little Perspective validates women in the minor irritations that they may feel from day to day in their journey through marriage while at the same time brings a renewed appreciation of their partner.
