Awaken
Author: Lori Adams
Publisher: Flirt
ISBN: 0804178860
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
The thrills continue in Lori Adams’s addictive series of paranormal romance—the Soulkeepers—featuring the hottest love triangle in this life . . . or the next. Sophia St. James has every reason to be happy: she survived the kiss of death from the seductive Demon Knight Dante and is free to be with Michael, her sexy Guardian Angel. She eagerly begins her Awakening to become a Spirit Walker and help lost souls cross over. But her training is fraught with setbacks, and Michael begs her to stop. The life of a Spirit Walker is far too dangerous, and he won’t be able to protect her. Then Dante returns, threatening to drag Sophia to Hell so they can finally be together. Terrified of losing everything she has worked for, Sophia turns the tables on Dante, luring him into a deception that may get them both killed. The stakes climb even higher when Dante’s ally, Wolfgang, emerges from Hell with one order: kill Sophia. Will Michael once again be Sophia’s saving grace or will the Awakening give her the power she needs to save herself? Praise for Awaken “In a clash between heaven and hell, no one raises the heat like Spirit Walker Sophia and her Guardian Angel, Michael.”—Cecy Robson, award-winning author of the Weird Girls series “Awaken is as page-turning and sigh-inducing as Forbidden. I can’t wait to see what Lori Adams pulls off next!”—Cassie Mae, author of The Real Thing “Dual plotlines of good and evil provide a well-rounded universe; Hell never seemed so charming.”—Library Journal “If you are looking for an amazing and unique paranormal romance that never has a dull moment, has an intense love triangle, fabulous characters and a captivating, action-filled plot, then look no further than this highly addictive series. . . . Five stars.”—The Avid Book Collector “Wow, Lori Adams’s imagination blew me away! The world building in the entire Soulkeepers series has been extraordinary. . . . Did you ever read a book and think to yourself, how the heck did the author come up with such an original and creative idea? . . . Awaken is just such a work.”—Tome Tender “A stunningly impossible love, set in a beautiful winter wonderland backdrop. . . . I eagerly await the final installment of this series.”—TJ Loves to Read “Adams continues . . . luring the reader into her world of paranormal wonder and excitement. [She’s] so talented that the reader almost forgets they can’t grab the character’s hand.”—Charlotte’s Book Review “I cannot wait to see what the conclusion of the series brings . . . if it’s anything like the first two, be prepared for twists, turns, and lots and lots of steaminess!”—Books by Night, Mommy by Day “The ending was just awesome. . . . Overall it was a great book, filled with action and twists and turns.”—SnoopyDoo’s Book Reviews “Genius . . . The entire last chapter was just like last chapters are supposed to be.”—Read It Write “Awaken is a captivating paranormal read that just will not let go. I can't wait for the next installment.”—Eat Read Glam

My name is Heather Havenwood and I am a Sexy Boss. I wasn’t always a Sexy Boss, however... After being spit out by the corporate world and growing tired of sales jobs that paid well but left me empty, I launched my own real estate business at the tender age of 25. I was kicking butt and taking names. It quickly became a 7-figure company that I operated out of my home with two other partners, whom I trusted completely to manage the money and financial side of the business. Things were going great -- amazing actually -- until one day I was hit with the biggest shock of my life. I had been away at a weekend seminar, and arrived back at my home, only to see that one of my partners and all his stuff was suddenly gone. Worse yet, ALL of my bank accounts were emptied...I was literally wiped out. So I set out to share my stories, my experiences and yes, even my set backs to show women entrepreneurs how they too can be a powerful force in the world. If you are a woman in business or if you want to start a business, you must read this book. First, it’s unlike any other business book. Why? Because it gives you all the tools you’ll need as a woman to succeed and prosper in what was previously only a man’s world.

Sexy Christians

Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 144120766X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
"Sexy Christians." The phrase sounds like an oxymoron, but God never intended it to be. Sexual fulfillment is, in fact, God's idea. Yet many Christians seem to think the more spiritual they are, the less sexual they will be, and the more sexual they are, the less spiritual they will be. Dr. Ted and Diane Roberts want to turn this thinking on its head. Readers will learn why men and women see sex differently, what the greatest aphrodisiac is, and how to avoid the most lethal killer to a great sex life. The authors also explore what men's and women's sexual needs are and why they are so different, what sex is all about from God's perspective, and what the differences are between male and female sexual response cycles. End-of-chapter questions encourage couples to apply the book's principles at home. Readers and groups can go a step further with the Sexy Christians Workbook. Loaded with additional content, this workbook is designed to challenge couples to explore the rewarding work of intimacy.

From Hong Kong, to Italy, to Canada, to United States, Hidi Lee believes that no matter where she works, she faces the same kind of person: the one that is confused and insecure of her own body.Having been a lingerie designer for 24 years, Lee believes this lack of confidence is due to the false body perception that is often implemented by the mass media.

Awaken You
Author: Shelly Bond
Publisher: Voices Rising Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
In Awaken You, yogi and storyteller Shelly Bond offers tangible ways of waking up to life. Part guide and part memoir, Shelly shares her journey of self-doubt to self-reflection and finally accepting love. With an authentic voice, she combats the inner critique as a way toward awakening to life flaws and all. Inside this soulful guide, are enlightened echoes of pain, loss, mending a broken marriage, parenting, acceptance, healing, compassion, forgiveness and more. Excerpts from the book: Being a conscious parent is more than a thought; it is a way of showing up for each and every child as the moment presents itself. The false perception of parenting tells us our children need to be a certain way; they need to look, act, think, behave, and test like everyone else, and if they don’t, we have failed in the parenting realm. These lies we have been fooled into believing are only putting more separation between parents and children. We can stop the destruction now. With the help of unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness, we can carve a new path for how we will parent from this moment moving forward. Showing up and being a conscious parent is being open to what children are teaching us. Be open to how we can grow from them and with them, and work together to understand how each individual works. Today is a beautiful day to be alive. There is no better moment than this one; there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, except this moment here and now. Inhale a deep breath, pause in between the thoughts and thank yourself for showing up, followed by a sigh of relief on the exhale. There is a hero within us all, and dreams do come true when you hold them in your heart with belief, no matter what. I am inspired with love to share with you no matter your circumstances or life experiences. With help, we can change seemingly unchangeable events in our lives. How, you ask? With the power of thought and intention, linked with the power of loving and believing in yourself again. Or for the very first time ever. Speaking used to be my worst enemy. I held fear of failure and purpose may as well have been on another planet beyond our solar system. Yet, my journey and these words are more significant than fear. Allowing myself to be creative is a life with the possibility of purpose. No matter the fear, I still take the step; I still write the words even when it’s scary. I write when my heart feels like exploding out of my chest when words become constricting. Fear has never gotten me anywhere but down, yet purpose keeps me afloat.

Censoring an Iranian Love Story

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • “One of Iran's most important living fiction writers” (The Guardian) shows what it’s like to live and love there today. "A haunting portrait of life in the Islamic Republic of Iran." —The New York Times In a country where mere proximity between a man and a woman may be the prologue to deadly sin, where illicit passion is punished by imprisonment, or even death, telling that most redemptive of human narratives becomes the greatest literary challenge. If conducting a love affair in modern Iran is not a simple undertaking, then telling the story of that love may be even more difficult. Shahriar Mandanipour (author of Moon Brow) evokes a pair of young lovers who find each other—despite surreal persecution and repressive parents—through coded messages and internet chat rooms; and triumphantly their story entwines with an account of their creator’s struggle. Inventive, darkly comic and profoundly touching, Censoring an Iranian Love Story celebrates both the unquenchable power of the written word and a love that is doomed, glorious, and utterly real.
