Book Description
Certain things should never be known about one’s best friend. How they rate as a kisser is at the top of the list. Turning thirty wouldn’t be a big deal if Aleen hadn’t been given bad news about her future fertility potential. Now the clock is ticking and she needs to find a man who can not only get her body and heart buzzing, but who is also husband and father material. She hasn’t had a date in years, but finding a man shouldn’t be so hard to do in this age of internet dating, right? Finding an adequate man in thirty days is a challenge she has no choice but to accept. Luke tried the relationship thing for the sake of his dying mother. It didn’t work out. When his best friend, Aleen, starts searching for love in all the wrong places, he offers to step up to the plate. What the heck—they already love each other, why not commit to being more than friends? Her response? Laughter. She doesn’t believe he’s capable of deviating from his quest for the next bright and shiny thing in life, and thus would not make a good life partner. But after a staged kiss in the bar, she’s the only woman he can think about. And he wants to get to know parts of her he hasn’t yet known. Aleen is trying to hunt down a man. Luke is chasing after her. With their emotional wires crossed and burning, does their friendship stand a chance of survival?

Book Description
In the past 50 years, consumers’ buying situations have not become easier. Consumers remain easily overwrought by complex buying situations that involve buying complex products or services, such as laptops or insurances. In such situations, consumers find it difficult to make a decision and must spend high levels of cognitive effort on it. Prior consumer research has addressed the complexity of buying situations in several research streams such as in choice complexity or product complexity literature. However, previous researchers have not reached consensus on what constitutes the complexity of a buying situation. Furthermore, they have mostly concentrated on cognitive constructs and emotional constructs have been rather unexplored. To close these research gaps, this dissertation provides an in-depth conceptualization of complex buying situations by developing a comprehensive reference framework. Furthermore, this dissertation differs from prior research by examining in detail negative emotional responses to complexity (NERCO). A reliable and valid NERCO scale is developed that consists of two factors, emotional resignation and fear of post-purchase dissonance. An experiment investigates the influence of two input variables of the reference framework (1. the number of alternatives in the consumer’s price class and 2. the perceived expertise of the salesperson who provides a recommendation in a buying situation) on perceived choice complexity and on NERCO. This dissertation paves the way for numerous directions for future research on the complexity of buying situations by providing theoretical fundamentals in the form of a detailed conceptualization and by precisely defining the research gaps.

Book Description
Elijah sought to love and to be loved most of his life. His mother had been bitter since she broke up with his father. She was so bitter that it had destroyed her whole life. She could not find no peace. Her anger and hurt destroyed her life. She almost destroyed Elijah, but his dad showered him with the one thing that heals love. Watching the pain his mother experienced, Elijah vowed to stay with the mother of his child, but things don't always work out the way we want them to. Elijah found out that things can get complicated, and he had to settle for being a good father and to make sure that he stayed in his child's life. Meanwhile, Elijah meets the love of his life--a woman that takes his breath away--but she introduced him to God. He finds peace, contentment, and, most of all, love. Finally, he thinks that everything will be all right, but she has three children. One who has been badly wounded which makes the situation complicated. She wants her dad back at all costs. She never healed from her parents' divorce, and she only wanted her original family together. Her mother is so in love with Elijah, but she is concerned for her children. It's hard for Mom; she found real love but it's complicated.

Pages : 183
Book Description
Stephanie is a strong Black woman with ambitions of becoming a bank manager and marrying the man of her dreams. Her life is pretty great, considering she is training for the promotion she wants. The cherry that tops it off is that the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on frequents her branch weekly. His name is Leo. There’s one problem, though. He’s married. Stephanie isn’t about to date a married man, even if he says they’re separated. Running into him around the city and having erotic dreams about him has her questioning if she should give him the benefit of doubt. When he takes steps toward making her comfortable with his peculiar position and she agrees to go out with him, she hurtles into a series of decisions that will challenge her relationship and test the strength of her devotion. About the Author Taunya Howard is an inspiring storyteller who not only captures the attention of varied audiences but brings to surface submerged emotions where readers are able to truly connect to the characters she writes about. She doesn’t shy away from reality, no matter how sinful it may seem. Instead, Taunya writes about events she’s personally experienced that may be hard for the average person to openly acknowledge because they too have struggled with such forbidden desires. Although the events uncover such a sublime depth of yearning, Taunya is able to capture each character’s humility so their actions can be understandable, even if not justified. Taunya Howard is also an accomplished educator with almost 15 years of experience educating young adults and adults. She has earned multiple college degrees and is currently in school to earn a doctorate. Her passion for literature is evident in her conversation, and she often keeps the attention of a full room. Taunya resides in Chicago, where she was born and raised, with her children, and is in a rewarding relationship with her true love. She aspires to write until she has no more stories to share. Taunya’s goal is to publish many novels that will be beloved by all who read them.
