Licking Honey Off A Razor Blade Valerie a Grimes

Why does an intelligent, independent forty-something woman fall heart-first for a whisky-drinking, unemployed, young hottie? To help him change, of course, but it turns out that she needs to help herself. In Valerie Grimes' book, "Licking Honey off a Razor Blade," she tells an erotic but tragic tale about obsessive love, where projection predominates, and how she used hypnosis to rediscover her authentic self and stop her own alcohol dependency to become truly independent. It's a classic tale of confession and psychic redemption. Excerpt Chapter 1 I'm Your Savior. Sitting at Panera Bread on Lemmon Avenue, I looked up at what I remembered to be his window at the Avon apartment house next door. It was 3:30 PM. I recall thinking it was odd that I looked at my phone to check the time. Later that day, checking email, I received a note from him at that same time. He said he hadn't been sleeping and wanted my advice. Of course, I interpreted that as 'sleep with me again.' I replied 'Hell Yes.' We started up again. The night I first met him I was in tigress mode. He was outside of the networking event pacing back and forth. His phone to his ear and mouth moving, engaged in an apparent heated discussion. It was kind of a turn-on as he was the cocky type and knew he was hot. I remember thinking, 'I'm going to get that one, ' as I smiled and walked past him, taking in a long slow deep breath and a little of his scent.
