Feels Like Summertime

     Feels Like Summertime

Jake: Katie Higgins was the first girl I ever loved. We spent one summer together at Lake Fisher when we were sixteen and then I never saw her again. My life is shit, my job is gone, and my dad had a stroke, so I find myself back at Lake Fisher once again. And so does Katie. Her last name isn't Higgins anymore, because Katie is married with three kids and one more on the way, but when she shows up at Lake Fisher with her kids, danger trails her all the way there. I could do a lot of things. I could leave and go home. I could stay and deal with it. But what I want most of all is just to take care of Katie. If I concentrate on her, maybe I won't have to face my own problems. Yeah, that's it. Fix Katie. Katie: I haven't seen Jake in eighteen years, but the moment I lay eyes on him, I feel safer than I have in a very long time. Memories swamp me every time I look out over the clear, cool water. A first kiss. A first boyfriend. A first love. That old spark is still there. I just can't act on it, and neither can Jake. Our story started eighteen years ago, and then we both made lives with other people. Jake is willing to tell me about his, but I can't share mine with him. Ever. We can be friends and spend another summer together, right? Sure, we can.

    The Lady and the Lion

      Kay Hooper
     The Lady and the Lion

The Mysterious Spellbinder... At first she was only a voice in the darkness before dawn, but soon Keith Donovan was haunted, obsessed by the woman who'd listened to his cynical, desperate murmurings, and shared secrets of her own troubled heart. He'd never expected her to be so impossibly lovely, nor did Erin Prentice imagine that her powerful, anonymous companion of the night could fill her with recklessness...and sweep her into his dangerous quest for revenge. Something beyond reason bound her to this man, whose ruthless passion overwhelmed her in a tidal wave of primitive demand that thrilled and terrified her. Keith was her destiny, her crossroads -- and Erin knew she had no choice but to welcome the fire that flared between them, even if he could never promise her always. But when he was forced to choose between love and rage, between tomorrow and yesterday, would the untamed spirit that first drew her to him find the courage to surrender his grief?

With the fortitude of a sailor shipwrecked, abandoned, and a soldier warring for his life, Stefan decides to lay siege to the greatest prize, her heart."I release you..." were the last words Rosalind remembered before her world went black. Stefan, the future duke of Montmouth, no doubt thought his words were welcomed but he couldn't have been more wrong. Oh, he was handsome as a pagan Norse god, but that was unimportant when her life as well as those of her family hung in the balance. With less than six weeks left, Rosalind has stopped believing in the fairy tale, the prince on the white horse, and the stolen kiss that would awaken her from her worst nightmares. Resigned to her fate, she waits for the inevitable curse to run it’s course. "We must marry at once!" Stefan declared, fully expecting Rosalind to be delighted that he had come to save her, but he was sorely mistaken. Rosalind was no simpering docile female; she was a fiery temptress with a stubborn streak only matched by his horse, Samson.

Stefan found himself thankful for the curse that required him marry her, thankful for the betrothal contract he had so recently tried to release her from...With the fortitude of a sailor shipwrecked, abandoned, and a solider warring for his life Stefan decides to lay siege to the greatest prize, Rosalind's heart. </div> </div> <br> <div class="story_tools"> <div class="category"> <svg class="icon icon-cat"> <use xlink:href="#icon-cat"></use> </svg> <a href="/gr/historical_fiction/">History & Fiction</a> / <a href="/gr/romance_love/">Romance & Love</a> </div> <a href="/rachel-van-dyken/10308-upon-a-midnight-dream_read.html" title="Read online:     Upon A Midnight Dream" class="btn"><b>Read online</b></a> </div> <br> <div class="meta"> <ul class="right"> <li class="grey" title="Views: 740"> <svg class="icon icon-views"><use xlink:href="#icon-views"></use></svg> 740 </li> </ul> <ul class="left"> <li class="story_date"> <svg class="icon icon-info"> <use xlink:href="#icon-info"></use> </svg> <span class="grey"> <time> Published: 2014 </time></span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> <article class="box story shortstory"> <div class="box_in"> <h2 class="title"> <a style="color: #3394e6;" href="/russ-durbin/15882-the-test_read.html">    The Test</a> </h2> <h5 class="title" style="font-size:1em;">       <a style=" color: #3394e6; " href="/russ-durbin/">Russ Durbin </a> </h5> <div class="text" style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif; display: inline; text-align: justify;"> <a class="highslide"> <img src="//onlinereadfreenovel.com/i2/1707271138/6835_the-test_preview.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title="    The Test" alt="    The Test" /> </a> <div class="text3"><br>His knees trembled and he felt weak.

For Riley, it wasn’t so silent. Standing on the cliff edge of hopelessness, a dark tragedy stood behind him, pushing him forward, shouting his sins. But a small animal swam near him, its very behaviour mimicking his own. He had always used the platypus to justify his position, but had never seen it as explaining his actions.His knowledge of the animal was renowned, and to Riley, knowledge was god. There were others in his life though, who had a different God. Flaming creationists! He couldn’t stand their ignorance, but neither could he choose his family, so he tolerated it and tolerated them. Barely. If only they would respect his wisdom like his colleagues did.As a professor, Riley was esteemed. It was hard to turn that down, even when it turned him into someone he didn’t want to be, and took him to places he knew he shouldn’t go… like this cliff, where a dark past shouted insult, and a small animal whispered wisdom while swimming blind. </div> </div> <br> <div class="story_tools"> <div class="category"> <svg class="icon icon-cat"> <use xlink:href="#icon-cat"></use> </svg> <a href="/gr/historical_fiction/">History & Fiction</a> </div> <a href="/graham-kell/18445-swimming-blind_read.html" title="Read online:     Swimming Blind" class="btn"><b>Read online</b></a> </div> <br> <div class="meta"> <ul class="right"> <li class="grey" title="Views: 740"> <svg class="icon icon-views"><use xlink:href="#icon-views"></use></svg> 740 </li> </ul> <ul class="left"> <li class="story_date"> <svg class="icon icon-info"> <use xlink:href="#icon-info"></use> </svg> <span class="grey"> <time> Published: 2014 </time></span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> <article class="box story shortstory"> <div class="box_in"> <h2 class="title"> <a style="color: #3394e6;" href="/rhonda-denise-johnson/18909-the-listening-heart_read.html">    The Listening Heart</a> </h2> <h5 class="title" style="font-size:1em;">       <a style=" color: #3394e6; " href="/rhonda-denise-johnson/">Rhonda Denise Johnson </a> </h5> <div class="text" style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif; display: inline; text-align: justify;"> <a class="highslide"> <img src="//onlinereadfreenovel.com/i2/1707271621/10856_the-listening-heart_preview.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title="    The Listening Heart" alt="    The Listening Heart" /> </a> <div class="text3"><br>A short story. Deafness separates her from the words of the people around her, but she is determined not to be separated from their hearts.The world was once a place of plenty and wonders: famine and disease were largely unheard of, cities floated through the sky, everything appeared to be perfect. But it could not last. When the magic called Ve collapsed, society collapsed along with it: millions starved and the floating cities crashed to the ground. In the wreckage the byproducts of Ve use, magical beings called Amekt, went feral. This along with the ensuing wars rendered the mainland uninhabitable.In the last days of the old empire, as things began to fall apart, a small group split off an island-sized piece of rock and seeded it with a plant that would allow it to float. For nearly 500 years, the island of Ansau has drifted in isolation on the ocean currents. Life is more difficult than it was, but the Island’s inhabitants have learned to use the trickle of Ve and stability has been the rule. But things are about to change again.The Ash Tree is the first story in the Broken Shores series, in which events are set in motion that will change life on the Island forever. Beyond that, it is about the cost of those changes to those who bring them about. </div> </div> <br> <div class="story_tools"> <div class="category"> <svg class="icon icon-cat"> <use xlink:href="#icon-cat"></use> </svg> <a href="/gr/historical_fiction/">History & Fiction</a> </div> <a href="/rhonda-denise-johnson/18909-the-listening-heart_read.html" title="Read online:     The Listening Heart" class="btn"><b>Read online</b></a> </div> <br> <div class="meta"> <ul class="right"> <li class="grey" title="Views: 740"> <svg class="icon icon-views"><use xlink:href="#icon-views"></use></svg> 740 </li> </ul> <ul class="left"> <li class="story_date"> <svg class="icon icon-info"> <use xlink:href="#icon-info"></use> </svg> <span class="grey"> <time> Published: 2014 </time></span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> <article class="box story shortstory"> <div class="box_in"> <h2 class="title"> <a style="color: #3394e6;" href="/bob-knight-barsch/20566-pesky-details-essays-for-quot;left-brainquot;-christians_read.html">    Pesky Details: Essays for "Left Brain" Christians</a> </h2> <h5 class="title" style="font-size:1em;">       <a style=" color: #3394e6; " href="/bob-knight-barsch/">Bob Knight Barsch </a> </h5> <div class="text" style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif; display: inline; text-align: justify;"> <a class="highslide"> <img src="//onlinereadfreenovel.com/i2/1707272025/13459_pesky-details-essays-for-quot;left-brainquot;-christians_preview.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title="    Pesky Details: Essays for "Left Brain" Christians" alt="    Pesky Details: Essays for "Left Brain" Christians" /> </a> <div class="text3"><br>Truth is in the details. This collection of essays addresses in detail uncomfortable, controversial subjects: the mix of culture and religion, scientific determinism, the existence of an absolute ethic, the necessity of free will, the origins of homosexuality, errors in radiometric dating, and the death of Darwinian gradualism. What a surprise it is to find the current worldview to be in error.Man's nature is to live by bias rather than reason. That is the reason that looking at the facts of any issue is important. I suggest that this collection of seven essays looks at familiar and accepted viewpoints with the tools of known facts, reason and logic. I suggest that though my findings are out of sync with the flow of current culture, the facts, the pesky details, show these findings to be correct.My seven essays analyze the following questions in detail:1) Is Western culture's view of natural resource exploitation/extraction Bible-based?2) Is the "scientific" view that the arrangements of tiny "particles" (packets of energy) determine all reality and that, therefore, free will is an illusion no more than an adopted, metaphysical belief? How does an adopted assumption compare with experiential religious faith? Of course, if God exists, experiencing God could be an actual event. Who can argue with another person's experience? And on the other hand, a scientific materialist who believes free will is an illusion must also logically concede that his beliefs and the expression of them are all forced by his physiology and not governed by independent reason and the discipline of logic.3) Do comparisons of biblical teachings with social behaviors among various organisms point to the existence of an absolute ethic?4) Does the appearance of free will in mankind constitute a literal miracle? How does an otherwise determined universe determine that not all things are determined? It cannot. What does that logic indicate about the origin of the ability to alter determined chains of causes and effects?5) Do the facts show that the origins of homosexuality are largely the result of unfortunate parenting, cultural promotion, and/or, in the case of some individuals, bad choices?6) What common environmental conditions produce inconsistencies in radiometric dating? Why do geophysicists, paleontologists, astrophysicists, and other scientists continue to ignore the facts of those inconsistencies? Are the rocks as old as the experts claim?7) Darwin's basic ideas are 2,500 years old. What are the pesky details pointed out in this page by page critique of his On the Origin of Species? What are his consistent errors and self-contradictions? Because paleontological evidence fails to support Darwinian gradualism, what are the new guesses about origins? To my knowledge, no other source aside from this work provides a page by page critique of Darwin's "towering genius". Was he an icon of intellectual progress or possibly "a king without any clothes." You decide.Your choice, because you have the miracle of free will, is to dig into the details of these essays and persist in your pursuit of knowledge or simply explore in order to counterattack and defend your preferred beliefs. And that is important because our biases define who we are. They are a big part of one's identity. Take some time and prove me wrong. I accept reason but you must be reasonable and not violate logic, or perhaps, you can be clever and clandestine. Maybe that would work.Regards, Bob </div> </div> <br> <div class="story_tools"> <div class="category"> <svg class="icon icon-cat"> <use xlink:href="#icon-cat"></use> </svg> <a href="/gr/historical_fiction/">History & Fiction</a> </div> <a href="/bob-knight-barsch/20566-pesky-details-essays-for-quot;left-brainquot;-christians_read.html" title="Read online:     Pesky Details: Essays for "Left Brain" Christians" class="btn"><b>Read online</b></a> </div> <br> <div class="meta"> <ul class="right"> <li class="grey" title="Views: 740"> <svg class="icon icon-views"><use xlink:href="#icon-views"></use></svg> 740 </li> </ul> <ul class="left"> <li class="story_date"> <svg class="icon icon-info"> <use xlink:href="#icon-info"></use> </svg> <span class="grey"> <time> Published: 2015 </time></span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> <article class="box story shortstory"> <div class="box_in"> <h2 class="title"> <a style="color: #3394e6;" href="/zanna-mela-florou/20979-inside-the-bears-lair_read.html">    Inside the Bear's Lair</a> </h2> <h5 class="title" style="font-size:1em;">       <a style=" color: #3394e6; " href="/zanna-mela-florou/">Zanna Mela-Florou </a> </h5> <div class="text" style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif; display: inline; text-align: justify;"> <a class="highslide"> <img src="//onlinereadfreenovel.com/i2/1707272107/14049_inside-the-bears-lair_preview.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title="    Inside the Bear's Lair" alt="    Inside the Bear's Lair" /> </a> <div class="text3"><br>This is an ecological fairy-tale to make children aware of the inhumane and virulent behaviour exhibited by people towards animals, and to teach them the great necessity of living in harmony with these creatures.The torture of any animal is not fun, and their abuse cannot be considered entertaining.This book is an ecological fairy-tale written by the author and painter Zanna Mela-Florou, a member of an association for the protection of bears.

General Madid is about to receive a visit from his worst nightmare – Jimmy West. Dear Air Rescue I am Jackie Cots, a nurse for an International Medical Rescue in Somalia. I am writing this letter on behalf of Aisha Hulow, a Somalia woman who lives in the Village of Coato. The lady wants me to tell you about the death of Mary Johnson, who was attacked by soldiers in her medical clinic, repeatedly raped, then shot and left for dead. When the soldiers left, Aisha dragged Mary into her hut where she died several hours later in her arms. Her dying words were to tell Jimmy West, that she still loved him and had never forgotten him. Please find attached a one dollar bill. The lady insists on me sending you the only thing of wealth, she owns.

The Murphy Family Farm is an enchanted farm that owes much of its success to an agreement made between the Murphys and the Fairy Folk over a century ago in Ireland.This story is the first in the Magical Murphy Farm series. The Murphy Family Farm is an enchanted farm that owes much of its success to an agreement made between the Murphys and the Fairy Folk over a century ago in Ireland. With over a hundred acres of farm land, the fairies and enchanted creatures work together to help the Murphy Family keep the farm prosperous enough to be generous to the community. The fairy folk call the Murphy Farm Lismore Baile, their words for "Bountiful Home."The wondrous world of Lismore Baile awaits!In this first book, young Brooke Murphy enjoys life living on a her family's centennial farm. The Murphy Family Farm has prospered for over a century, producing better than any farm in the area. Life on a farm couldn't be better for Brooke and her animal friends. One day, she decides to go for a walk in her mother's elaborate garden. On her way there, she finds some magical spectacles that allow her to see fairy folk and magical creatures. Brooke becomes more and more excited during her adventure while learning about the inner workings of the farm she calls home. As she ventures down the hidden path of the garden, she greets the enchanted people of Lismore Baile, a magical realm where fantasy meets reality and the two work together to bring in the harvest. Brooke is given an errand by one of the fairies, one that she has to get done before bed time.Some of the characters she meets include the flower fairies Marigold and Violet. Aurora is another fairy that Brooke meets along the way. Aurora helps keep the farm warm with some special help from her friend Fireglide (a volcano dragon). Everyone has something to do to keep the Murphy Farm thriving, including Brooke.Brooke learns from Lily (possibly the last water nymph of her kind) that fairies and magical creatures have always been a part of the Murphy Family Farm.After so many adventures, how will Brooke get safely home before it gets dark? With time running out, perhaps a little magic is needed. Perfect reader for ages 9+ or great to read to children of any age. Adults will also like this uplifting story. This story emphasizes helping others, being thankful and the rewards for being generous. </div> </div> <br> <div class="story_tools"> <div class="category"> <svg class="icon icon-cat"> <use
