Better Man

Bruce Langdon

Sinopsis

Better Man describes one man's journey through romantic relationships.  The author navigates college, graduate school, and then present day as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.  This book is a story about love, heartbreak, and the difficult lessons learned while traveling the treacherous road of dating.  Striving to become a better man, the author learns about his own values, what he's looking for in a partner, and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is run.  Getting through break-ups, navigating partners with differing values, and having the realization that just because sparks fly when you meet doesn’t always mean it’s meant to be – these are just a few of the harder truths the author learns along the way.  Better Man is not a better-than-revenge book, geared towards making fun of exes or blaming the innocent.  It’s a first-hand account of three major relationships, told through the eyes of the author as he experienced them.  There’s a shift in perspective from one’s early 20’s into their mid-30’s, and realizations are made…past experiences are seen with a newly discovered clarity. 
 
As the author gets further in his study of psychology and gains a greater understanding of things like communication and what it means for a relationship to be ‘healthy’, his relationships continue to grow increasingly toxic.  Will he throw in the towel and simply decide it’s best to assume he’s had his last kiss?  Or dust himself off and begin again?  If this was a movie, should it end like a fairytale or something more sad…beautiful…tragic?  Will the author end up healing from his past relationships and become the better man he set out to be?  Or be forever haunted? 
 
Let’s hope there’s a hopeless ‘new’ romantic on the other side of the door…so to speak…now...on to the story of us…

Finders Keepers

Karin Kallmaker

Setting out on the "vacation of a lifetime" Marissa Chabot is well-provisioned with sunblock, rum, and a stack of good books. Being one of the founders of Finders Keepers, the successful, high-tech "soul-mate matching service," she knows that vacation romances are hopeless. 
 
 
 
When Linda Bartok—tall, dark, and beautiful—sweeps her off her feet anyway, Marissa yields to the magic of a storybook rescue, moonlit walks on the beach, and longed-for whispers of passion. Though it hardly seems possible that the Amazonian, adventurous Linda could be truly interested in a desk-bound computer geek, the most erotic encounters of Marissa's life complete her surrender. 
 
 
 
Vacations end. Real life resumes. Waiting for the phone to ring, Marissa wonders if what she had seen in Linda's eyes could have possibly been true. Had it been a vacation romance? Was she going to end up "losers weepers"? 
 
 
 
Finders Keepers, the quest for the perfect mate in the twenty-first century, joins Karin Kallmaker's Just Like That and her other incomparable novels about lesbian love, lust, and laughter.

What if Tony and Bryan Sebring, who've been raised as biological brothers, turn out to not be related by blood at all?
