Baby by My Best Friend’s Daddy by Josie Hart

Baby by My Best Friend’s Daddy by Josie Hart

I like my men how I like my wine,
Tasty, full-bodied, and twice my age… like my best friend’s dad.

I’m a dedicated nurse, and the responsible one (usually).
So catching a ride after a night of drinking makes good sense.

Except when that ride is loaded silver fox Landon Leggatt.
And OH, did I ride.

But afterward, the jerk acted like nothing happened between us,
And left me wondering if the sparks were only in my head.

I thought I’d gotten over him, until he hurts his ankle,
And my best friend calls in a favor for my professional help.

Now I’m stuck looking after this brooding grump,
And still pissed that he could forget me so easily.

But one look has my heart beating faster than his Ferrari,
His hand stroking down my arm gives me full body chills,
And I’m back in his bed again.

This was wrong on so many levels, and now I’m at a crossroads:
Lose him,
Or lose my best friend.

And things just got much more complicated,
Because now I have to tell my BFF a half-sister is on the way…

Baby by my Best Friend’s Daddy is a deliciously steamy age gap standalone romance guaranteed to give you the ultimate tingles. No cheating and no cliffhangers, only a highly satisfying HEA for all.

The Gospel Truth by Clinton Bezan

January 28, 2023 By Book Review Matchmaker Leave a Comment

The Gospel Truth by Clinton Bezan

Where does a new believer turn to find truth? The Christian narrative today has morphed into a fluid and philosophical commentary centered around social injustices and motivational messages that rarely align with the gospel that Jesus preached. Sin is ignored and repentance is avoided by those who over exaggerate grace and diminish the holiness of God by suggesting he accepts us whether we are faithful to him or not. In a knee jerk response to the strict religious shackles of the early church many of today’s preachers bask in the hyper-sensitivity that accompanies the “cancel culture” that proclaims it will not be judged. In The Gospel Truth, Bezan has endeavored to dissect prominent Christian religious denominations in order to expose their internal theologies and scrutinize the details of their doctrine under the litmus test of scripture. He offers legitimate discernment to differentiate between truth and almost truth and conveys an intelligible recognition of the genuine vs the counterfeit in a detailed and comprehensive assessment that leaves the reader judiciously satisfied. We have an opportunity in this life to sincerely contemplate the things of God. We are provided with a window in time to question the hidden mysteries of scripture and truly discover who God is. The good news is that God has provided a path to salvation through Jesus Christ and the gospel contains the truths that solve the mysteries that have eluded men for millennia.

Back to GOD, Away from Religion by Gopi Menon

Back to GOD, Away from Religion by Gopi Menon

Have you ever Searched for the Truth about Life, about God, and Happiness? And did Religion ever help you find that truth? If not, you may finally get your answer in this book, “Back to GOD, Away from Religion”!

The book itself describes one man’s soul-searching, Inner Journey for the Truth about Life, God, Happiness and Religion.

After more than six decades of fervent seeking, the author finally realized this great truth:
“All religions are Man-Made, and not God-Ordained! And Since Man is not perfect, ALL religions are Flawed.”

Therefore, religion is NOT the best way to God or to Life. The best way to a happy, fulfilled life is found by looking within yourself and not inside ancient books!

(NOTE: Last year, this book won the Bronze Medal in the 2021 Global Book Awards in the Faith & Spirituality category. This year, it was an Awards Finalist in the 2022 Readers Favorite Awards Contest in the Religion/Philosophy Category.)

Forgotten Storm by A.R. Vagnetti

***The Revised and Expanded Edition***

How many years did I drag my ass from one small town to another, singing and bartending to make ends meet? I’ve lost count. As a matter of fact, I lost every memory of my life before the age of seventeen. And that’s not even the weirdest part. At night, in my dreams, I’m guided by a drop-dead gorgeous, panty-wetting fantasy who makes my body sing and claims to be my Guardian.

When the stunning man miraculously shows up on my doorstep, I don’t know whether to jump his bones or shoot him in the head. But the second his lips touched mine; it triggered an explosion of suppressed memories I was better off not knowing. And the things that go bump in the night? Yeah, those are real, and apparently, I’m some prophesied bringer of peace to all the monsters.

Not sure what dickwad wrote that thing, but this girl can’t even get through her day without coffee. How the hell does Mr. Tall Dark And Handsome expect me to face off with my greatest fear and embrace my so-called destiny?

We are so screwed.

*** “Forgotten Storm” (Revised/Expanded Edition) is Book 1 of the Storm Series. ***
This is a carefully revised and expanded edition of the novel that was first published in September 2018.

Warning: Intended for mature audiences. Full-length novel. Can be read as a standalone, but for better continuity, it’s best to read the prequel, FORSAKEN STORM, first.

If things like violence, blood, gore, references to rape, consensual BDSM play with intense sexual scenes, graphic language, and vampires are triggers for you, then move along; this is NOT the book for you. In fact, my entire Storm series is NOT for you.
If it is, welcome to my sick mind.

Mythion: Human Transformation by Jason Davis

When Gavin finds himself in a hospital with no memory of how he got there, he soon finds himself being escorted into an RPG psychotherapeutic marvel to heal his immuno-compromised body as well as to treat emotional traumas preventing him from becoming a truly powerful and effective person.

That RPG marvel takes place in a quantum-created alternate reality called Xenxu, a lush, immersive utopia with its own AI citizens, laws, and culture, where humans are the guests. Along his journey, he will be assisted by several mentors, both AI and human, and even future versions of himself. A powerful feminine alien presence also takes a primary role in his unfolding.

As Gavin earns both mental and physical upgrades, he undergoes superhero-like exercises, earning many achievements in the game world and unlocking new abilities in the real world. But he soon realizes something dark is happening in the background when a shadowy military organization begins stalking him.

Gavin finds himself at the center of a mystery bigger than he could have ever imagined. One thing is for certain: he’s being groomed for something big, and when alternate realities begin bleeding into the real world, he alone may hold the key to saving humanity.

Armed with incredible, mind-bending powers, his destiny will culminate in a final mission that is out of this world.

A new age science fiction book with an epic storyline, Mythion blends multiple genres. It’s near future social fiction, a mystery, a thriller, and has an epic love story. With many layers to it, this is a thinking person’s scifi but also a tale that action cravers will enjoy.

Vampires and Villains by Elizabeth Pantley

Paige and her joyful Aunt Glo have learned that the home they inherited comes with a magical library. They put together a book club group of loveable kooks to explore the magic. They’ve recovered from their first book journey, and they all agree on their next book which takes place on a cruise ship bound for Hawaii. Problem is, they were so excited about the cruising idea that they didn’t read the entire blurb on the back of the book. (“It was entirely too long,” explains Zell.) Once on the ship, they meet a charming and likeable man who blends seamlessly into their motley group. Too bad they don’t know why he’s so scarce during the day but shows up to join them every evening for dinner, drinks, and a show. When a dead body shows up on board, their new friend is labeled a suspect. Can they help him out by finding the real murderer? Or is he the real murderer? The book club will need to solve the case to get off the ship, out of the book, and back to their home.
