Amazon Five Star Review - This is a story of true Christian Love. The type of love story that we all dream about.

Of course, along the way, there were obstacles. The devil stays busy. 

A few words about Love Again from author Genevieve D. Woods:

After you are done reading Love Again, I want you to feel inspired. I want your faith to have increased and you to realize that no matter what adversity you have faced, the Lord has a plan for you and it's to give you hope and a future.

Genevieve D. Woods was born in the South and considers herself a true Southern girl. She is an avid reader of all genres and has a great love of music, which, if you pay close attention, you’ll see come through in her writing.

Genevieve is the bestselling author of the Greatest Love Series with the fifth book due out in late-January 2017. All I’ll Ever Ask, After Church, Dawn and Autumn, and Just Be Held consistently hold steady in the top 50 books in African American Christian Fiction on Amazon.com with Just Be Held debuting at #2. With the release of the fifth book, Genevieve’s Greatest Love Series will reach its conclusion; however, she will be following some of your (and her) favorite characters as they move forward in their lives.

In September 2016, Genevieve released the first of several mini-series that have become a part of her free web series posted on her website and GDWOODSBOOKS Club via Facebook. These stories have been such a hit that she’s collected the first set of mini-stories, It Won’t Prosper: A Parable on Infidelity in Marriage, into a novella, available as an e-book and in print, which was edited from its original web posts and includes bonus material not available anywhere else. GDWOODSBOOKS Club is Genevieve’s growing book club that meets monthly, virtually on Facebook and in person. The goal of Genevieve’s book club is to give back to the community and support other authors. To learn more about GDWOODSBOOKS go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/gdwoodsbooks/.

In regards to her characters, Genevieve writes flawed characters that do not always start out on the right path—they fall down, they curse, they have physical and verbal altercations, they do not deny their flesh. But through the suffering of their Heavenly Father, they find redemption and happiness (in most cases). Genevieve doesn’t always agree with her character’s actions, but she allows them to follow their paths.

Genevieve lives in Memphis, TN with her husband, three children, and a Shi-Tzu that thinks he’s one of the kids. She attributes her success in writing to Christ first, but also the unwavering support of her husband. She describes him as “a solid rock, my muse, the second lover of my soul, and the only lover of my body. I adore him.”

For the second time in Olanma Obinze-Rice’s life love hasn’t been good to her. Five years ago, a repossessed car and the looming threat of eviction, left Olanma Obinze-Rice in dire need of cash. Then out of the blue, she landed an interview of a lifetime that would solve all her problems. But she had to go through former bad boy and heir of Rice Holdings, Abayomi Rice. One ultimatum, a whirlwind romance and a life scare later, Olanma and Abayomi were married.

Now all Olanma wants is to be free. Free from her rocky marriage, manipulative husband and overbearing father. If everything goes according to plan, she’ll be divorced and free from her father’s clutches by her thirtieth birthday. All she has to do is wrap up one last business deal. Once he gets divorce papers, Abayomi Rice knows his wife has called his bluff. He didn’t mean to manipulate her but her broken promises and inability to stand up to her father tore them apart.

Despite their present state, the finality of a divorce is not an option. He wants his wife back. With his sister’s wedding coming up, he sets his plan in motion and issues one final ultimatum- pretend to be a happy couple one last time.

His Love in Return

He shuffled in reverse. "If I had this to do over again, if I knew what succulence occupied my bed, I would not have wed. I wanted a companion. You painted yourself plain and dull, able to care for the house, tend to my things. I wanted ... not decadence, ribbons, and bows, not cake coated in frosted perfection, not a feast for my senses, a light in my eyes, but instead a colorless, flavorless existence."

Dovie's heart squeezed in her chest.

"You are everything I thought to avoid," he said. With that, he revolved on his heel and left.

---------

Augustus Boulanger advertised for a bride of plain countenance, able to cook and clean. But though he wanted companionship and an ease to his loneliness, he had no plans to become a true husband or father. The sin in his past, which tears at him day and night, is too great to overcome.

Dovie Monroe is not her real name, but by taking the place of the woman who passed on the ferry, she can have a better life than what her parents planned. Augustus is young and healthy and pleasing to the eye. She'll start a new life with him.

Yet her lie combined with his horrible secret could prove too strong for their fragile marriage and their memories too much to set aside. Unless they place their trust in the undeserved forgiveness of a loving, gracious God.

A few words about His Love in Return from author Josephine McCutcheon: 

God's forgiveness includes the worst things we've done. Though Augustus had committed a grave sin and though Dovie was living a lie, He could make of their imperfections, something beautiful. God's redemption through Christ is all-inclusive and complete, with joy and peace in believing.

Love a Little

Serial dater, Cree Jordan, has lovephobia, but she's going to have to get over it soon because she's on an 8-hr flight to Paris stuck sitting between the only two men she's ever loved. A flight cancellation leaves them stranded in the "City of Love" for 24 hours. Will she be able to get over her past to let herself love again?

A few words about LOVE a LITTLE from author RHONDA MCKNIGHT:

I believe you will take away the message that God has for you, but from the writer perspective, I wanted to drill down the message that God’s grace is for all of us. We can be so hard on ourselves. We tend to judge some sin as worse than others, and while there are some sins that are harder on our souls, our God is forgiving and loving. If we can forgive ourselves, there’s nothing we can’t recover from. Cree has to learn this. I pray you know this as well.
