    When God Wrecks Your Romance: Orthodox Faith, Unorthodox Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
    When God Wrecks Your Romance is a co-authored memoir written by a newly ordained priest and a young married mother of four children. It’s the story of two kids who fell for each other as teens, and, spoiler alert, ultimately did not end up together. It’s pretty much the opposite of a quaint and dreamy Hollywood ending. Yet, it most certainly is a happily ever after."....Amanda and Fr. Matt haven’t written a vocations fairy tale, they’ve given us one better: A true-to-life example of what it means to hear God calling you forward and to choose your response. It’s hard to think of a book this good at showing spiritual growth." (Steven Lewis, creator of Steve the Missionary)"When God Wrecks Your Romance is a well-crafted love story that is relatable as well as endearing.... Even as a non-practicing Catholic, this story had a way of inviting me in and keeping me entertained." (Kim Collier, founder of Brown Girls Who Write)"Far from being a sappy romantic story with a predictable ending, When God Wrecks Your Romance is a beautiful and faith-filled account of love and the human desire for true happiness. At times thought provoking, at other times touching and tender, these reflections are honest and real." (Bishop William A. Wack, CSC, Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee) ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Night: Love in O'Leary, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
    One night, in Vegas, I gave him my heart. One day later, he broke it.Look, I’ve never claimed to be a nice guy. I don’t do pretty words, I don’t give polite smiles, and I refuse to be sucked into the sappy bucket of sentimentality that is Christmas in small-town O’Leary. Smiling neighbors, overly decorated trees, a town parade, a Santa contest? Ho ho no. I do shifts as a firefighter, and I go home alone.I fell into the trap once - that stupid night in Vegas - of believing there was more out there for me. I took a chance on a guy with magical green eyes and a gorgeous smile. The next day, Liam McKnight was gone. He took my heart with him, and left his wedding ring behind.Except, now, my once-upon-a-time husband has reappeared with a kid in tow, and there are carols, lights, and cookies everywhere I turn. And worst of all, the spark between us burns brighter than ever because whatever happened in Vegas definitely didn’t stay there. Liam came to town looking for an ending, but what’s building between us feels an awful lot like a beginning. Too bad it’s going to take more than a dozen interfering O’Learians to convince me to take a second chance on heartache, on love...and on us.Please note: While The Night is very much Liam and Gideon's story, characters from past books do make an appearance, and you'll enjoy the book exponentially more if this isn't your first trip to O'Leary. ungekürzt.

    An icy road and a sharp turn leave one woman dead, another clinging to life.Molly Tipton looks forward to a peaceful retirement, but her life suddenly spirals out of control when her oldest daughter is involved in a terrible accident. While two families grieve, details emerge that shake Molly to her core. As she prepares her daughter for what lies ahead, Molly discovers her oldest child is not the only one injured and forced to deal with past mistakes.If it’s true that time heals all wounds, what are we to do with our scars?Praise for Breathing on Her Own“Lean, not florid, genuine, not sappy, reflective, not preachy, familiar, not clichéd, satisfying, not contrived: what more could one ask of a contemporary novel from a first-time novelist? Readers of Breathing on Her Own will enjoy a story that feels close to home, in the tradition of writers like Anne Tyler. We know the people in this story. They are friends, neighbors, family, even ourselves. I expect that when readers finish this book, they will ask Dr. Waters when they can read her next one. That’s certainly my question.” (Jon Weatherly, Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost Johnson University)“Entertaining, challenging, and realistic. Breathing on Her Own brings us face-to-face with what we really believe through the eyes of one woman’s journey with hope and resilient faith as the backbone of the story.” (Drew Waters, actor, director, producer; star of The Ultimate Life and The Redemption of Henry Meyers as well as recurring roles on Saturday Night Lights and NCIS) ungekürzt.

    Less , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
    A breakout romantic comedy by the best-selling author of five critically acclaimed novels. Who says you can't run away from your problems? You are a failed novelist about to turn 50. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: Your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can't say yes - it would be too awkward - and you can't say no - it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world. Question: How do you arrange to skip town? Answer: You accept them all. What would possibly go wrong? Arthur Less will almost fall in love in Paris, almost fall to his death in Berlin, barely escape to a Moroccan ski chalet from a Saharan sandstorm, accidentally book himself as the (only) writer-in-residence at a Christian Retreat Center in Southern India, and encounter, on a desert island in the Arabian Sea, the last person on Earth he wants to face. Somewhere in there: He will turn 50. Through it all there is his first love. And there is his last. Because despite all these mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings, and mistakes, Less is, above all, a love story. A scintillating satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart, a bittersweet romance of chances lost, by an author the New York Times has hailed as "inspired, lyrical", "elegiac", and "ingenious" as well as "too sappy by half", Less shows a writer at the peak of his talents raising the curtain on our shared human comedy. ungekürzt.

    Lumberjack: A Real Man, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min
    He hasn't been with a woman in five years. She hasn't been with a real man...until now. Vivian I've had enough of the crap that goes along with living in the city. So I packed for a weeklong vacation in the mountains. Isolation in a cabin for the next seven days sounds like a good way to recoup and get my life back in order. After getting lost while hiking, I stumble upon a cabin that has me questioning whether to ask for help, or if I should brave staying the night in the woods. Jake I left everything behind years ago after the woman I was with betrayed me. Now I work as a lumberjack and live my life as a recluse. Being celibate for the last five years says a lot about my self-control, but I'm a man and have needs, and not giving into what I really want is hard as hell. But I can't let myself get close to anyone, not even for a few hours. Getting close is how I got screwed over before. As soon as I see Vivian, I know I have to have her. It's been forever since I've had a woman. Because of a storm rolling in, she'll have to stay with me overnight. We could do a lot of filthy things in that time. I pride myself on my control, but when it comes to Vivian, I don't know if I can keep my hands to myself. I know I can't. I have needs, and it's clear Vivian's in need of a real man to help her unwind. I can certainly help her in that department. Warning: If you're looking for a sappy, pull-your-heartstring kind of audiobook...this isn't it. If you want a short and dirty story featuring an all-around alpha hero who hasn't had a woman in years, and a heroine who'll find out what it's like to be with a real man...this might be for you. ungekürzt.

    A Charlene Parker mystery.Set mostly in northern Ontario at a cottage resort and partly in rural Nova Scotia, A Kayak for One (book one in the Kirk Lake Camp series of books) features a former Hamilton police detective who would like most of all to just do the never-ending everyday chores of running a resort but who seems to end up having to solve murders instead.As if that isn't enough the former detective, Charlene Parker, also has to deal with creepy peeping Bob across the lake, the local OPP detective Sarah, who has issues to no end that Charlene must hear about, a bagpipe playing lover across town, an old house to fix up across the country on the east coast, and with all that still find time to cook for herself and half the police detachment while they poke about the resort trying to solve the murders before Charlene does.Then, of course, there are the guests. Not only are the trees too sappy, too messy, too numerous, the mosquitoes and black flies are too many and too pesky, the cabins are too rustic with too few luxuries, with too few televisions (as in none) and too expensive, the other guests are too loud, too drunk, too close, too present, the air temperature is too hot or too cold or too windy or not windy enough, the lake is too cold or too rough, with too few pickerel and bass, the wolf howls are too scary and too close, the black bears are too smelly and too scary and too close, the water snakes too skittish and scary and too close, the garter snakes too, too, too close, the red squirrels and blue jays too chattery and bossy and too close, and the guests' own families are too obnoxious, too stressful, too close.It's enough to make Charlene want to head south, back to a dark alley in the north end of Hamilton, to chase a criminal in a hoodie (always a hoodie), with a gun, who is too scary, too mean, too drunk, too stoned, too hilarious, too stupid, and too close. ungekürzt.

    What Love Really Feels Like: Learning Thyself, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min
    What does love really feel like? I pondered this question more than I have pondered nearly every other question in my life. I looked for love in all the wrong places for much of my life. I didn’t know what love was. I thought love meant sex. I thought it meant physical affection. I thought it meant that you picked someone and built a life together. I thought love meant saying your vows to someone else. I thought it meant making a commitment. Later in life, an ice storm and a miscarriage and a lawsuit would ultimately make me experience what love really was. It pushed all the boundaries of what my prior experiences had been. I thought it was an automatic thing between a mother and her child. I thought fathers automatically loved their children, too. My mother didn’t love me. Not really. She didn’t love me the way I needed to feel love. She didn’t love me in ways that I recognized or defined love. This left me not feeling loved by her at all. People always said, "Your mother loves you in her own way." She loves you in the way an addict can love someone. She loves her substances more than she loves you. She loves her job more than she loves you. She loves your dad more than she loves you. She loves your sister more than she loves you. Occasionally, I would hear her say "I love you" behind her drugged and alcohol-induced sobbing. She would send me some nonsensical sappy love song in a video from Youtube. Those song lyrics meant something to her mind when she had dementia. She tried to portray her love through them, but I still never felt loved by her. After all, she had done so many things that made me feel unloved. She had hurt me so many times. I’m sure some of the people in your life made you feel unloved, too. Then, they made you feel guilty and crazy for feeling invalidated and unloved. After all, they were trying to portray their love in some language they understand. Why couldn’t you just get the mes ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Landon Forrest.
