God & Sinner by AaronLeeSharp

"Don't you know that all things must bear the winter? To everything there is a season. There is no dawn before the dark, no life without death, no love without loss. These beautiful things are only made possible by that which is diseased and ugly." A fateful event results in a tragic loss, and Luke Montgomery faces a choice between heaven and hell as he is judged for his misdeeds. A second chance offers him a shot at redemption, but he realizes too late that the life he's stepping back into isn't exactly the one he left behind. The test is simple--he must conquer his demons and prove that he has changed, but is it really that easy when every dirty secret he's buried comes to light? *This novel is dedicated to my mother, Diane, who continues to teach me the value of hard work and honesty. She has always been my biggest supporter, pushed me to be better, and helped me slay a few of my own demons along the way. Her love and faith in me has taken me far, and I am a better man for it. Thank you for everything, mom, here's to you.

Finding Life Again by Kariario

Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.
