"This is a stand-out! ""This book has it all! One moment a relaxing sofa read, the next I was on an emotional rollercoaster. Royal Air Force and English gentry life insight, adventure, mischiefs, and a tender love story that hides nothing. I mean absolutely nothing!! I was in this young man's world from the start, as I laughed and cried along the road of his incredible journey. This is a stand-out!"" - Amazon Customer Daring, Erotic, and Endlessly Entertaining I was taken aback by this story of a young upper class British boy, his close relationship with his mother, grandfather, and even his gun dog. Then an unexpected and enticing sexual emancipation with an irresistible woman, and some heart-breaking experiences along the way. All part of him attaining his manhood and a glistening career in the RAF. A book that is daring, erotic, uncomfortable at times, endlessly entertaining, and all wrapped up into one amazing story based on the life of the author. - Arthur Wiley An incredible journey, an exceptional book What an incredible journey. What an exceptional book. For anyone who may have thought that Fifty Shades was something special, this trumps it, not least because it is based on a true story. I can't wait for the sequel. - Jennifer Kilcare A Riveting Tale of Triumph and Tragedy The Rude Beginning is a truly remarkable and gripping story that took me on an emotional rollercoaster through the incredible early life journey of its main character Charles Featherstone. A combat helicopter pilot and polo player, this poignant true story is a masterclass in resilience and human spirit, leaving readers both inspired and heartbroken. Is this what sets him up to become a tech mogul in the sequel? - W Reuvers A standout for me I really liked his way of expressing things, and I could almost feel his emotions throughout. This will certainly make quite the splash in the reader-verse and make the literary world sit up. Very enjoyable, and so much more insightful than any of the usual British media I read/watch. That really makes this a standout for me! - Ronda Thames"
