His Southern Comfort (Firefly Island: Southern Comfort Book 1) by Melanie Shawn (1,612 Review)    Price verified 6 minutes ago

Billy "Panty Dropper" Comfort That's what people call me... Growing up with the last name Comfort meant that I'd inherited a legacy. In our small town, the older generation of Comfort men were known for three things: hard work, boozing, and tragedy. Some believed the latter was due to a curse that doomed every male in our bloodline to lose his true love tragically. I was of the mind that our fates were in our own hands. With my father's passing, my brothers and I were the new generation of Comfort men. We were also known for three things: fighting, flirting, and another F word that I'd never use in mixed company. My oldest brother was the fighter, my baby brother was the flirt, and that left me. I'd earned the nickname Panty Dropper by the time I was legally allowed to drink. It never bothered me much, until the day I laid eyes on a woman that made me want to be a better man. The only question was, would she see the real me, or would my past and the curse be too much... even for fate? Reagan "Runaway Bride" York That's what people were calling me... Growing up with a single mom who cared more about her next boyfriend than things like paying the electric bill, I was determined to create a stable, respectable life for myself as an adult. And that's exactly what I'd thought I'd done. I shared a condo overlooking Central Park with my fiancé, who was on the fast track to making partner at the law firm where we were both associates. And which just happened to be owned by his father. Cut to me walking in on the man I was going to marry, just weeks before our wedding, with his briefs--and I'm not talking about the legal kind--down around his ankles. Oh, and did I mention the pricey penthouse we shared was a gift from his parents? Talk about putting all my eggs in the wrong basket. In the blink of an eye, I found myself homeless, jobless, and ringless. My "fresh start" landed me in a small town, where the nights are hot and the men are hotter. Soon, I found my ...

Join Joy on her journey of self-discovery, as she fights her way through the darkness to reclaim her identity, and in doing so, not only finds herself but finds a way to step into her future with happiness and joy. Author Tara White wrote the majority of this book on location in Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia (literally sitting on the rocks looking out into the Atlantic Ocean), and in Waikoloa, Hawaii, two of the settings in the book. The rocks and ocean on the book cover are from an actual picture taken during one of her writing sessions. She visited Nova Scotia many times a year in one of her prior jobs and took advantage of the opportunity to get out to Peggy's Cove to squeeze in a few hours of writing on her trips. Peggy's Cove quickly became her magical writing place where, as soon as she sits down on the rocks and opens her laptop, her fingers just start flying across the keyboard and the characters come to life! Since she started visiting Peggy's Cove fairly regularly over five years ago, she has easily spent over a couple of hundred hours on the rocks, and on many of those visits, she searched the ocean for a whale or a dolphin, without one sighting.

Are You Positive? by Stephen Davis (L&G Productions LLC) (120 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Ripped from the headlines of today's news, "Are You Positive?" is a fictitious courtroom drama in the style of John Grisham. 26-year-old Tyree Johnson stands accused of first degree murder in a prominent South Carolina courtroom. But his murder weapon is not a gun or a knife; in fact, there was no violent crime at all. His "victim," Beth Ann Brooks, dated Tyree for a few months, and they made love more than once. However, Tyree Johnson had been diagnosed HIV-Positive, and the prosecution claims that Beth Ann Brooks was infected with HIV by Tyree and died some months later. The defense, however, claims there is reasonable doubt that Tyree's HIV diagnosis was wrong - that, according to numerous scientific studies, the so-called "HIV tests" are fraught with errors, and have been ever since their inventor, Dr. Robert Gallo, lied on his patent application. Furthermore, Tyree's lawyer argues that there is no scientific evidence that HIV is transmitted by heterosexual intercourse, and that Tyree's girlfriend died from taking lethal anti-retroviral drugs rather than from any HIV/AIDS-related illness. Based on more than 500 actual scientific studies and references, the author claims that every word of sworn testimony is true and verifiable. "Are You Positive?" raises serious questions about whether anyone has ever been properly diagnosed as HIV-Positive, and whether most AIDS victims are dying from the side-effects of the HIV medications prescribed by their doctors - all in a spell-binding novel. You be the judge.

Tightrope (Trelawney Book 3) by Antony Melville-Ross (Lume Books) (83 Reviews)    Price verified 25 minutes ago

In Antony Melville-Ross's third book, Trelawney is back with a vengeance - and what a vengeance. Antony Melville-Ross's first spy novel Blindfold was warmly greeted - and compared to the works of Ian Fleming - by some of the most discriminating judges, and his second, Two Faces of Nemesis, consolidated this reputation. In Tightrope, which is perhaps his most brilliant performance, Trelawney and his bewitching partner Jane Trask are at the forefront of the action, which takes place in England and the United States. What makes this book something quite extraordinary in spy fiction is its accurate reflection of the chaos and irrationality of the world, that is so often reflected in news reports - the world of hostages and terrorism, of mindless destruction and cruelty. Although it is set against a Cold War backdrop, modern readers will find much in this story that is familiar. Skilfully plotted and vigorously written, Tightrope is a superior spy thriller that will please readers who enjoy the work of Fleming, Deighton, Le Carré and Tom Clancy. Praise for Tightrope: 'Melville-Ross has dry-docked his submarines and entered the unpleasant and unseen world of the English "spooks". In doing so he has lost none of his finely crafted characterisations, engaging dialogue and lively storytelling. As the title suggests, it is a taut, engaging and sadly, probably quite realistic in its portrayal of those involved' - Amazon review Antony Melville-Ross (1920-1993) won the DSC while serving in submarines during World War II, and became involved in Intelligence activities after the war. Subsequently he worked as an oil company executive in the Middle East, New York and South America. He also wrote six novels, of which Blindfold was the first.

World War S: The Silence Begins (World War Spiritual Book 1) by Stephen Paul Thomas (Articity Publishing) (81 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The world stands on the brink of another worldwide economic and social crisis. People look for understanding through occult practices, so that mediums and fortunetellers have become wildly successful in helping them escape reality. There are no more churches, and established religion is a thing of the past. Christians must now gather in secret. In this fragile era emerges Josh Heartley, a young boy with astounding prophetic abilities. Though Josh had a heart transplant in his early years, it doesn't slow him down. He is a light for everyone around him, and he can often tell future events with supernatural clarity. During an accident, Josh has a Near Death Experience and finds himself in the middle of a spiritual battle that goes back more than two thousand years. Dr Julie Bond, conducting a research study involving Josh, hopes to unlock the secret behind NDEs and their ties to the human soul. She soon suspects the key lies within this very special boy. Stephen Paul Thomas's thrilling novel is based on shocking real-world events of a thousand-years-long demonic occupation told through exciting storylines, unexpected twists, and many historical examples. If you read Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, you will find this more eyeopening and shocking... all who would like to know more about the unseen battle must read this series! "Thomas (Cluster, 2015) deftly paints a world in which Christians have been backed into a corner by the belief systems of other cultures -- like that of Linda's ancestral village in Central America -- and by demons. These demons, including Karnelo, the "lust-addict spirit," have been possessing people for hundreds of years, using human tools to instigate everything from the Inquisition to organized pedophilia. Thomas' prose presents the complex story evocatively, as in the line "Linda's chest rhythmically lifted and sank, like water in the mighty ocean, which kept its secrets in the dark deep." - Kirkus Review

The Stell^rs by Jeff Aronson (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

New Mexico July 1947 Their lunar shuttle craft surveilled New Mexico for three days, checking on all military installations. Commander Roseaelyn and her copilot, Fralix, were concerned specifically about the further expansion of the US nuclear program. Only two years earlier, on July 16, 1945, the first test had occurred in Los Alamos, about a hundred miles north of Albuquerque, which they were flying above at that very moment. She remembered the reverberations on the Stell^r moon base from that explosion, the alarms that had shrieked and screamed. People had felt it, as if a vast chasm had been torn open in the universe. This was their fifth surveillance together of Earth. In the past, they surveyed other planets around this solar system. The Council had made it a priority to search for viability across the cosmos. However, ever since the Los Alamos event, they had been focusing a great deal around the American southwest. And before that, closer to Xanthe, in their own Andromeda Galaxy, searching for exoplanets to ensure its collective survival in the future. Rosaelyn's essential nature was that of an optimist, but that tear in the universe two years ago had daunted her optimism about the survival of Earth. Now that the power of that atomic explosion had been witnessed, what was to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and eventual Armageddon? Would the Stell^rs intervene? When they were over a military base in Roswell, their ship suddenly began to lose altitude for no reason that she could determine. She snapped out of the meld, anxiously scanned the instrument panel, and realized there had been a catastrophic malfunction in the craft. It plunged downward through clouds, sunlight, and she leaped up and pulled on a special crash suit. The sound of her shouts shocked her as deeply as Fralix's paralysis, his inability to snap out of the meld. Once Rosaelyn was suited up, she grabbed his shoulders, struggling to pull him free.

The Second Sun: Volumes I & II by Kristof Morrow (30 Reviews)    Price verified 25 minutes ago

The plot of The Second Sun is an allegory for the financial inequality between the older and younger generations. There's an island paradise where there's elders living a second life after retiring from their human forms, and live amongst their chosen few, who also live for thousands of years in relative peace. However, only those welcome can actually approach the island and survive. Everyone else on earth is made to endure a game of thrones type world, except I omitted much of the overt cruelty you find in that series. I also forgo the notions of racism and sexism. l wanted to adopt the spirit of Tolkien, but expand that virtue of "anyone, no matter how small, can achieve great things," to every kind of human so it feels to be an adventure for everyone! I was diagnosed with Tourette's when I was 27, and so it's developed my understanding of the theft of agency and being marginalized for something I cannot control. It's also structured similarly to game of thrones, in that the first three chapters are different parts of the world with different characters, and you learn how they are related as the story progresses. The Second Sun is, above all things, an adventure made animate by hundreds of distinct characters across half a world, written to confess through prose and tale our tendencies poisoned by Dickensian bleakness, and to wholly ameliorate that cynicism by the light and courage of those who live and labor for a just peace.

Left on Paradise by Kirk Adams (20 Reviews)    Price verified 25 minutes ago

Before Portland, there was Paradise. Following the stolen presidential election of 2000, 102 intrepid progressives, led by self-absorbed Hollywood star Ryan Godson and his kind-hearted wife Kit Fairchild, make good on their threat to abandon a corrupted society still under the spell of Puritan fanatics, Yankee traders, and southern slavers. Now, a new society will be founded: a new country among the nations. This will be a land in which feminists, liberals, environmentalists, multiculturalists, pacifists, socialists, communists, communitarians, and progressives of every persuasion will remain unthwarted by the opposition and oppression of Republicans, social conservatives, and constitutionalists. Left on Paradise is a sweeping epic about a band of idealists who have forsaken family and friend to build a perfect word on a remote island in the south Pacific. From the thrill of first hope to the brink of deadly catastrophe, Kirk Adams relentlessly puts the band of idealists in a world in which they can live out the iron logic of their beliefs and dreams -- unencumbered by conservative resistance or religious restraint. Yet, they bring to Paradise the moral limits of their own ideals and character and soon find that they themselves have brought evil to their Eden. With riveting twists and turns in the plot that mirror contemporary (and historical) American political experience, the author shares political fiction that speaks to the cultural questions and divisions that contemporary Americans face, even as he offers a vision of what must not be sought. It's May 2001 and the band of political pilgrims have sailed to a remote island in the Pacific to found a new country: a true State of Paradise. Numbering the same as the settlers of Plymouth and Jamestown, the idealists have marched straight out of the 1960s to build the Great Society suspended by Nixon, Reagan, and the Bush family. These pilgrims will show the world what it means to be Left on Paradise -- or so they ...
