What's a girl to do when she discovers that her boss/boyfriend (I don't need a lecture, thank you very much!) is a cheating windbag? Dump him and quit her job, of course.
After that, it was supposed to be the Summer of Me--a totally self-indulgent few months. Except that I met a drop-dead gorgeous Viking with a bossy attitude. We clashed on his arrogance and crassness, but geek bonded over Star Wars and Star Trek. He offered himself as a no-strings-attached candidate for my get-my-groove-back sex plan, and I left because he already had a girlfriend, even if they were on a break. But I couldn't stop thinking about him. I really, really needed to find someone less complicated, but he infiltrated my thoughts. He was hot, after all (And his towel might have slipped on purpose.) Seriously hot...
Loving the Ladies' Man

Romantic Comedy
Rating: 4.5
Connor is the last guy in the world I should fall for. He's the resident office flirt. I'm the quirky Pride & Prejudice-loving editor who uses big words and dresses like the world's non-sexiest librarian. We have nothing in common. And we're competitors for the same job. Game on, right? May the best person win and all that? Fine by me. I'm happy to hold him at arms' length forever. And considering I'm practically the only woman in the office he's never flirted with, he's obviously happy to do the same.
But when we're stuck overnight in our office building thanks to an earthquake-induced landslide (don't worry, we're totally fine), things between us start to change. I begin to realize that Connor isn't actually the jerk I thought he was--the kind who leads women on, just like my ex. And when he offers to attend my ex's wedding as my fake boyfriend, things get even more interesting. Especially when he gives me that much-too-chaste kiss...

Sowing and Reaping
by Dwight Lyman Moody
FREEBIE
Religious & Inspirational
Rating: 4.7
We can't get away from the principle of reaping what we sow. If we sow good seed, we anticipate a great harvest. But if we sow weeds, we'll harvest no more than we sowed. The same is true spiritually and practically. If we want a reward in heaven, we must live for Christ.
On the other hand, if we lie, cheat, swear, steal, get drunk, use drugs, or otherwise fulfill the lusts of the flesh, the reality is we'll pay the consequences both now and in eternity. No matter how much society tries to convince us otherwise, this law has proven to be true without fail.
