Book Review - "At the end of the day, only you and God know what's going in that powerful thing between your ears called a brain and in your relationship."
-Savannah
This story explores how one woman moves forward after 20 years of marriage has ended. What happened after that was a "contract marriage" for her and maybe her friends if she can make it happen. The story had a slow start for me. However, at about the 50% mark, I become completely engaged in the story. There was drama, humor and as each friend was brought into the "contract wife" arrangement, each had to make some tough decisions some with dramatic results as they had to cut ties with their former lives. i.e. Georgia and Justin. He was a piece of work. I am looking forward to what is to come in the sequel. You can get your copy here and support the author by leaving a review.

Josh and Chris set out to help someone with moving and end up in a "tight" spot.
I loved the opening of the book. It set the pace for the rest of the story and gave you a hint at what was to come. The story moved well with a solidly structured plot. It remained true in its genre of thriller fiction. Within this thriller, Mason looped in the topics of diabetes, domestic violence, racial injustice, and lost love.
I think this is Mason's genre and I would love to see more from him in it. I would recommend this book to those who want a quick and easy thrill with their afternoon tea. You can get your copy here and support the author by leaving a review.

Black Girl Lost
Black Girl Lost by Demetria PooleSynopsis - If someone would've told, me I would be madly in love with a 24-year-old King Pin. I wouldn't believe it. Blessed with a beautiful face and banging body, I was on a get-rich quick scheme. At 16, the path I was traveling was a fast road to nowhere, and Dre was the driver of my destruction. I was on a different plane to a different state or country to sleep with a different person every night. The money was pouring in like rain, and the drugs I would use to ease the pain were now just a thought in my head.To think, I dragged my best friends in this unforgiving world of crime was eating me up inside. Matchmaking gone wrong landed me at the bedside of one of the girls I loved most; praying for God to save her life.
Book Review - The story delved into the life of Shari Parks aka Chocolate and her journey into early adulthood. She had an unstable upbringing which led to her making unwise decisions during her critical teenage years. Unfortunately, her friends didn't fare much better as they grew older and all three experienced some serious life lessons.
The author spent the first 75% setting the stage for the drama that the sequel promises to deliver. She was very detailed in taking us from elementary to Shari's high school years and all of the circumstances that shaped her way of thinking and who she would ultimately grow to be. The story moved at a moderate pace and with a developed plot and characters. Granted I didn't need to know every single thing that occurred to her as a child, but I am assuming these details will become necessary and apparent in the sequel. I did have an issue at times with understanding which character was speaking at times, but other than that no real issues when it came to flow or structure. I will also say that this particular story was geared toward young adults/late teens. I am definitely not in that demographic, but can appreciate the premise and that this story may appeal to young adult readers. You can get your copy here and support the author by leaving a review.
Enemies No More: An Enemies to Lovers Standalone
Enemies No More: An Enemies to Lovers Standalone by Jimi Gaillard-JeffersonSynopsis -
Him:
She's the illusive part of a dream.
Blink and wonder if she's real. Can beauty be that vivid? Can a mind be that sharp? A mouth that bold?
She's everything I've ever been denied.
She's everything I'm too afraid to say I want.
She's here. Panther eyes. Hands-on mine. In mine.
On me.
She's better than a dream.
Because she'll stay
If I give it all up.
Her:
He's the man I liked too much to pity and wanted too much to ignore
A harp played, a woman moaned her agonies and luxuries into a microphone and
He had chocolate and Scotch in his hands when I told him I wanted him
It was better than I imagined.
He wants to hide us and everything we've become.
Family, money, occupations, and career paths.
There's too much at stake, he says.
I am supposed to be his lifelong enemy. Not this.
But I am me, and I am his
Sacrifices will have to be made.
Book Review - Two opposing counsels finally stop fighting the attraction and indulge in each other. This was an interesting read. I came away feeling perplexed. On the one hand, I love that both were professionals. The heroine was strong. She knew what she wanted and went for it. I like that the author touched on the topics of familial "acceptance" as it relates to one's place in a family and a topic that unfortunately is still very prevalent in the black community- colorism.
I think the characters were developed. I think the plot was interesting. However, I think the story's flow was disrupted by the odd dialogue. It was/is reminiscent of an ABC drama where the characters never quite speak a full sentence and yet thanks to the benefit of being able to see their expressions and body language the viewer knows exactly what the character meant to convey. Unfortunately, it is a bit more difficult to do that when writing. Readers need that extra time taken to fill us in. This delivery couple with the editing issues made it difficult for me to connect with the characters and story as a whole. There were several instances where there was a hyphen inserted in the place of a word of a letter. I would have also liked some romance and chemistry between the two primaries.
So, I'm on the fence about this one. I liked the message of love. I liked that Angelique pushed Derrick to grow to want to be better and do better. But this felt more like a friendship than a romance. You get your copy here and support the author by leaving a review.

It's a Work Thing
It's a Work Thing by Michelle Karise
Synopsis-
Synopsis-
Garrett
They call me the King of Dynex, the architect of the company’s crown jewel: the world’s largest scientific website. Half the company loves me, the other can’t stand me—when you’ve got your sights set on bigger things, it comes with the territory. Bonus: My ice-cold reputation hides my broken heart.
If Dynex pulls off its upcoming public offering, my best friend and I will be swimming in corporate stock, free to launch our own company. Now more than ever, I need to be focused. I don’t need a distraction like Jasmine Carmichael, a gorgeous consultant with honey-almond skin and a killer smile.
Jasmine
Ever had any luck with dating apps? No? Girl, same. I don’t play games. One, my travel schedule as a consultant doesn’t allow it. And two, at the first hint I’m an old-fashioned girl in search of romance, I’m ghosted.
I shouldn’t be attracted to six-three of citrine-eyed, muscular, urban sophistication like Garrett Hamilton. He’s a client, and clients are definitely out of my dating pool. But something about him makes me want to ignore the rules and roll the dice.
I should have remembered corporate games never end well—especially when you gamble with your heart.
Book Review - The office romance centers on the relationship between Garrett and Jasmine. I love a good IR romance especially when it doesn't focus on stereotypes. There was no damsel in distress looking for the rich billionaire to come and save the day. I appreciated that both characters were written as successful and intelligent.

There was no damsel in distress looking for the rich billionaire to come and save the day. I appreciated that both characters were written as successful and intelligent.
Individually the characters were developed and well written. The plot was well thought out. I can tell the author did her research when creating the tech world in which the characters would move. Honestly, Dynex was the primary character here and the romance secondary. There was quite a bit of time spent on setting the scene and ensuring that the reader was not lost when the characters talked " business". This can be good, but I think this actually bogged down the story a bit and the first half of it moved along very slow and it was difficult for me to engage with it. However, once it finally picked up, I was all in. The office romance centers on the relationship between Garrett and Jasmine. I love a good IR romance especially when it doesn't focus on stereotypes. There was no damsel in distress looking for the rich billionaire to come and save the day. I appreciated that both characters were written as successful and intelligent. There was a bit of mystery, which added a nice layer to the romance. I think if you enjoy contemporary romance, you will enjoy this book. 3.5

Even Roses have Thorns & other Love tales: A Short Story and Poetry Collection
Even Roses have Thorns & other Love tales: A Short Story and Poetry Collection by Brandon C. BrownSynopsis - Love comes in many forms and manifests differently for each of us. Join us as we explore the topic from the erotic to the extraterrestrial. One woman finds herself challenged in the aftermath of her crime of passion. One brother needs to refocus his attention on his lady after a hard day’s work… and she is glad to help him. In another tale, one young lady must decide whether to heed her mother’s warnings about love or to let herself fall and see for herself. Check out a lovely couple hungry for each other’s love, but has their appetite been spoiled by deceit? And another brother finds himself in the middle of an encounter that is truly out of this world. Grab this collection and choose your own adventure.
Book Review -This collection of shorts was interesting as it showed singles and couples in various stages of love. Whether it was the hope of falling in or the pain of following out of love, the author gave us several different views. I will say that some were hard to follow because of the way they were written. I could not tell if these were shorts or the beginning of poetry as there were issues with formatting. It made it hard to decipher where one ended and another began.
I will say that the one that stood out for me the most was the first story. If nothing other than the messaging. While therapy didn't seem to really work for the protagonist of that story, there was a line that basically said that therapy can be medicine for the soul and I loved it. It's okay to take your medicine. The other line that stood out was the protagonist stating that love looks like a nightmare. It was also a reminder that our momentary actions can have long term effects on our lives. I think if the formatting is addressed as well as a few issues that could help make the document more concise and add clarity this could be a 5 star read across the board.

These two are tested in ways neither of them expected. Forced to fight temptation with outside forces trying to keep them apart. Find out how Luna Star was able to be Caught Up In His Love.
Book Review - A passionate one night stand leads to a lifelong connection between two strangers. After a forced two year separation, Bash returns only to find that he fathered a child. Luna discovers a shocking secret about Bash as well.
| It was interesting watching the two find their way to each other despite a couple of roadblocks. I think the story moved well. The plot will be relatable to today's culture where influencers reign supreme. There were issues surrounding grammar, incorrect word usage, and repetition, but outside of that, I think this was a romance with a HEA that romance readers may enjoy. |

Book Review - I'm going to preface my comments by saying, I don't typically review nonfiction, but at this author was so lovely that I made an exception. Once I read her story, I was glad that I did. Reid peppers her story with more than just real-life examples, but generational tidbits and ideals that people in black culture pass down to each other. I even learned a few like "Black people don't jump from the basement."
As she shares conversations she engaged with her mother on the way to school, it reminded me of my own time with my son. Those morning rides to school yielded some of the most intense, insightful, and memorable conversations that we would ever have. To this day, riding in the car for more than 20 minutes can be extremely cathartic.
I think Reid delivers her lifetime recollections in a way that we feel that we are on a journey with her from the basement to blossoming into her season of maturity and contentment. This story is not just for those who live life experiencing the joys and fears of being Black in America, it is for all who want to open their inner-selves up to transformation. I will be recommending this book to all.

Snow White and the Savage
Snow White and the Savage by Fatima Munroe
Synopsis - A pretty girl, seven savages, a jealous stepmother and a king…does their story end in happily ever after
Synopsis - A pretty girl, seven savages, a jealous stepmother and a king…does their story end in happily ever after
Cary Muhammed was a daddy’s girl, Miami’s most pampered princess. In the blink of an eye, a late-night tragedy snatches not only her fabulous life but the one man who loved her more than anything, leaving her with a stepmother who would stop at nothing to make Cary’s life a living hell.
Every king needs a queen. Leonidas Payano, also known as King, was next in line for the trap throne in Miami. Growing up, he’d heard stories about how he and Cary would rule the streets together, but when that time came his queen was nowhere to be found. Years of dead ends and closed mouths later, Cary was found in Meridian, Mississippi.
King’s seven savages are the goons at Cary’s disposal once she touched back down in the city. Yenni, Bash, Jaden, Duval, Killa, Santiago and Benny bust pistols at the drop of a dime on the queen’s command. Who would’ve thought the queen would find herself infatuated with one of her own? But that’s exactly what happens when Cary laid eyes on Benny. How does Leonidas take the news, knowing she had his heart since they were kids?
Complicated is an understatement when Cary comes face to face with her past, bumping into her stepmother at the last place she should have ever been. When the truth is revealed about her motives, Cary is left questioning everyone in her orbit. Does she revert back to her old ways? Or does she stay bossed up and get her revenge against everyone who orchestrated her father’s demise?

Book Review - The story was an interesting take on the classic Snow White tale. Our urban Snow White definitely had a wicked stepmother and 7 loyal followers at her service. But our Snow White aka Cary was not so innocent or sheltered. Munroe did a good job of modernizing the tale and giving the reader a detailed backstory on our co-protagonists. I think the story moved well and was moderately paced. The characters were interesting as was the story itself.
However, I did have a few issues with the story. I would have liked some chemistry between the "Queen" and "King". Their "love affair" came across a bit forced. It makes sense that she could be swayed by another. I would have also liked the transition from pauper to Queen to be a bit more smooth. Yes, she had a very rough upbringing, but that upbringing didn't involve torture and dismemberment. I think the villain or villains were well written. The twist with the father was fantastic. Granted it was unbelievable that the stepmother escaped twice unscathed, but it made for an interesting read. At any rate, this was an okay read for me. I would like to know how things pan out for the two because I hate not knowing the ending of a story. Plus, I want to know which Savage she chooses. I will be reading part two.

Book Review -I think this was an interesting story from the perspective that the author takes the reader along on a sometimes confusing discovery of self and sexual exploration for the protagonist Claudia. There was a bit of confusion when I could not distinguish which character was providing dialogue. I think the story moved well. The characters were very well developed. I would have liked some clarity during the novel's opening. I think the erotic elements were also well written. I would recommend those who enjoy erotica that includes an edge.

It's a Cover Reveal! Mischief Island by Daneal Brown
IT'S A COVER REVEAL!!!
Mischief Island
by
Daneal Brown
Synopsis
“Strengthen relationships with
Insane O _ _ _ _ _ S”
This ad in the daily newspaper was all it took for two
couples to go on a vacation of a lifetime.
“Time away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday grind
can always bring two hearts back to one.” - Whit Lafleur
The McDonald’s and The Lafluer’s seem to have it all -- a
loving relationship, a wonderful home, and some awesome friends, that is always
there for them no matter what. Lauren, the ambitious beauty, worked hard at her
job, always bringing work home, trying to be recognized as more than just a
pretty face. Unknowingly she was neglecting her husband Leroy in the bedroom
and it began pushing him towards a young beauty at his job. With Whit working
more overtime than he’s ever worked in their twenty-plus years of marriage to
his loving wife Suzanne the spontaneity in their sex life was slowly fading
away. With a headline like “Insane O _ _ _ _ _ S,” how could the feisty buxom
blonde Suzanne, pass up this opportunity, no matter how tasteless Lauren
thought it was, she had to see what it was all about.
After an intense morning workout and a regular day at the
office, Suzanne and Lauren went to one of their favorite eateries for lunch.
Before their food could hit the table, Suzanne had already made the call and
gave some mysterious woman all of their business. Now all they had to do was
convince their husbands. Join Suzanne and her best friend Lauryn as they pull
their husbands into a wild adventure on an island where love reigns supreme,
but mischief rules. The couples let their hair down and find multiple ways to
strengthen their relationships with drinking, dancing, romance, and oranges?
From the creative mind of Daneal Brown Mischief Island, will
display and test friendship, love, and marriage in this spicy romance novel.
Mischief Island will be the second release from the author. The author wanted to create
material that allowed readers to escape for a few hours and maybe have some of
their passions sparked by the written word. Not until he started working on
Juice Box did that vision really come to fruition.
Be sure to connect with the author to stay up to date on the release of Mischief Island and to receive exclusive content and sneak peeks.

The only question is, will death finally win, or, for the sake of love, will I come out on top?
Book Review
We meet Sanala and Kente in this action-packed story. Kente wants to leave the life of crime behind when he meets Sanala, who has just gotten out of a bad marriage. They go out, like each other, and begin a relationship, though it's very fragile. Kente's old life shows up, dragging him back into a dangerous situation, but this time it involves the threat of ending Sanala's life. Kente is full of rage and will do anything to protect her. The story is heart-pounding at times and there is a mystery involved that, once revealed, catches you by surprise. There were a few grammar errors but nothing too major that the story could not be enjoyed. Overall, I'd certainly like to keep up with Kente and Sanala, if Ms. Arie chooses to continue their story. :)
