Only the Strong Audiobook by Jabari Asim

Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 05-26-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Moved by the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., Lorenzo "Guts" Tolliver decides to abandon his career as a professional leg breaker and pursue a life of quiet moments and generous helpings of banana pudding in the company of his new, sensuous lover. His erstwhile boss, local kingpin Ananias Goode, is also thinking about slowing down - but his tempestuous affair with Dr. Artinces Noel, a prominent pediatrician, complicates his retirement plan. Meanwhile Charlotte Divine, the doctor's headstrong protégée, struggles with trials of her own. With prose that's sharp, humorous, and poetic, Jabari Asim skillfully renders a compelling portrait of urban life in the wake of the last major civil-rights bill. Massive change is afoot in America, and these characters have front-row seats. Critic Reviews: "You will rarely find a historical novel that's as panoramic yet also as lean, mean, and moving as this." (Kirkus starred review) Members Reviews: Great Insight into Black Life in Mid-Century Set at the opening in 1970s Gateway City (St. Louis), this book seemed like it would be a gritty gangster story about Guts Tolliver and his perhaps thwarted efforts to go straight after working as an enforcer/hit man for Ananias Goode. Instead it unfolded into so much more, rolling back in flash backs to events around the Great Migration of African Americans from the South, offering measured portraits of African American characters we often do not see, and giving ultimately a portrait of African American life in the Midwest in the middle of the last century.

Members Reviews: Wonderful and Thought provoking I liked the context and storyline of this book. It was clean, funny and heart wrenching. It showed the humbleness of Summer and Hank, the harshness and inhumanity of Jessica and the heart-wrenching disease that Whitney was going through and Summer was enduring to be a great, loving and God fearing daughter.

AWESOME! Where does Goodness and Mercy rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? #2 Which scene was your favorite? When Gabrielle found the LOrd and began to praise him in the mist of the hard times. Whe she learned to trust and believe in God. When she did not allow anyone or anything deter her STANDING for GOD! From Sinner to Saint What did you love best about Goodness and Mercy? The spiritual journey this young lady goes through. What other book might you compare Goodness and Mercy to and why? To me this is different from anything I have read in a good way.

It has twists and turns where you are not sure where it is going next. I liked it and would recommend it. It was like one of those novels you didn't want to put down! Very enjoyable I really enjoyed this book. It took me a while to get used to the narrator's style, but once I did, I really got into the book. The story line is interesting and the characters are well-drawn. I found myself chuckling at certain parts of the book and my heart warmed in others. A great read. Ok, not really exciting The story was ok...nothing too exciting. Lots of Christianeese- not realistic in my opinion. Liked her other stories better. Now and then.. A family's story. I love how the author used flash backs as a mechanism to inform the audience.

Title: Just Wanna Testify Subtitle: A Novel Author: Pearl Cleage Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-11 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Familiar faces and places meet fresh twists and turns in this enthralling novel from acclaimed author Pearl Cleage. Atlantas West End district has always been a haven and home to a coterie of unique characters - artists and thinkers, dreamers and doers. Folks here know one anothers names, keep their doors unlocked, and look out for their neighbors. Anyone planning to sell drugs, vandalize, or rob a little old lady should think twice before hitting this part of town. And Blue Hamilton, West Ends unofficial mayor and longtime protector, will see to it that you do. Blue wears many hats here, including adored husband to Regina, dear nephew to Abbey, and doting father to Sweetie and another little one on the way. Blue is also the man you pay your respects to if youre looking to set up shop in this urban enclave - just ask Serena Mayflower, whom Blue sees striding down Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard wearing skin-tight black leather pants, thigh-high boots, and bright red lipstick. This tall, slender, ethereally beautiful woman and her four equally striking sisters make up the Too Fine Five, a quintet of international supermodels who have arrived in town for an Essence magazine photo shoot. But Blues gut tells him that theres more to these Mayflower mademoiselles than their affection for full moons and Bloody Marys. With the help of his beloved Regina and their close friends and relations in West End, Blue vows to uncover the womens secret intentions - and prove once and for all that there is no greater force on earth than the power of love. A mesmerizing slice of not-so-everyday life, brimming with wicked wit and spiced with a few supernatural surprises, Just Wanna Testify showcases Pearl Cleages masterly storytelling at its soulful and satisfying finest. Critic Reviews: "There's moments of kick butt fun ... fans will be pleased." (PW) Till You Hear From MeWhat Cleage gets right, as in her previous novels, is the strength and warmth of the people of the [West End] Atlanta community. . . . The scenes of them and others laughing, joshing, cooking and eating are full and rich. (The Washington Post) Sparkling . . . No doubt, Seen It Alls leading lady, actress Josephine Evans, will [be] a book-club fave. (Essence) Members Reviews: Surprisingly Dissapointing I always wait with a great sense of anticipation for Pearl Cleage's next book. Having read all of her novels, I consider myself a true fan. Fortunately, I've never been disappointed in her work. Unfortunately, her streak of success has been broken. This novel is a strange, unrealistic, and weird deviation from her style that made it impossible for me to finish the book. I tried to hang in there and open myself up to a new experience, but I just couldn't do it. If you're a true fan and are looking for a continuation of Ms. Cleage's encouraging and hopeful ventures into the West End, I'm sorry to say that you'll be disappointed in this work. Never disappointed in Pearl Cleage before, but... First let me say that I LOVE Pearl Cleage's writing. I've read or listened to everything she has written--often more than once. I was so excited to see a new book by Ms. Cleage that I downloaded this one without a second thought. However, I can't even make it past the first half hour of this book.

She sounded like she was holding spit in her mouth for most of the reading. However, I did enjoy the book and will look for other written by La Jill Hunt. loved it LA Jill hunt produces nothing but bangers... I loved it and I wished I could here more about Camille's story. Would have preferred Cherice Booth I enjoyed the last book everything was great the storyline great the conclusion great I just didn't like the change of narrator with all the books the insurance but the final should have made it's exit with Charice booth GOOD READ What did you like best about Old Habits Die Hard?

Title: Chaser Author: Miasha Narrator: Erica Peeples Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-10 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 80 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: From the Essence best-selling author of Never Enough comes a novel about an explosive love triangle that threatens to bring down a city. Critic Reviews: Miasha scores again with another steamy, scandalous dispatch. (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Erica Peeples got me again... I was in a rush and didnt pay attention to the narrators name. SHE IS HORRIBLE. I cant believe people keep letting her studdering, monotone self do their books. Miasha is a great writter though. I'll have to find this in hard copy to finish it. The title gives the book no justice What I liked about this book is how Miasha captures you with the true emotions of the character who sets the stage for the book. When I first saw the title I thought that the book would be trash but I was surprised. My attention was captured from the very beginning. This book also teaches you about loyalty and how being loyal to the wrong people will mess you up. The narrator did a great job and I would suggest this book to anyone looking for a urban fiction that will keep you wanting to unfold this story. At first...but then...this book is great! At first, I didn't know if I would like this book because of the way it starts out with a girl in distress and holding on for dear life. I thought, I don't want to listen to this. But, then, as I kept listening, the characters became defined, the story line became apparent and the book came to life. Personally, I enjoy reading about different lifestyles and how people interact within. What I liked about this book is that it breathed so much life into the character Leah and made it easy to care about her well being. Although you can read about many girls in her situation, this book made her special and defined her character in such a way that really made you care about what happened to her. The writing, the descriptions, the storyline, the plot, is what made the book such an interesting read. Also, the life lessons that can be told throughout the book are what really make the writing one of success!!! Bad Narrarator Would you try another book from Miasha and/or Erica Peeples? Seems like a great story BUT Ms. Peeples reads like a 10 year old...she kept messing up. I'm surprised audible did not record it over. How do you sell something with so many mistakes? If youve listened to books by Miasha before, how does this one compare? My first time What didnt you like about Erica Peepless performance? She messed up a lot. Her voice was pleasant but the mistakes were unbearable. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Chaser? The story was good...I would have edit all the mistakes the reader made. Any additional comments? Get a better person to read it. Can you pass the Narrator a glas of water? The book was pretty good. However, the narrator is either swallowing constantly throughout the book or it was cotton mouth. It was somewhat distracting at times but I really wanted to find out how it ends. I'd hate to miss out on other really good books because of this narrator. I do know that I don't want to listen to this narrator again.

Her mother is so upset that she temporarily considers smothering Lula Ann or giving her to an orphanage. In the end she keeps her but teaches her to call her by the name Sweetness instead of Mama.

But as the story progresses, sparks begin to develop between Brooklyn and Song, providing the listener with a storyline overflowing with sensuality, compassion, and romance amidst the onset of drama, tension, suspicion, deception, and murder, and an explosive ending, which you will never see coming." Author Vivienne Diane Neal Members Reviews: Wow!!! What a story! What a book! This story is full of action, drama, suspense and love! Both the author and narrator were new to me & I was glad I found them. I will most definitely look for more of their books. I really enjoyed the unexpected twists and turns. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Great characters Brooklyn's Song by Sydney Arrison has a great story with strong characters. The story is your normal cop falls for victim storyline but why makes this one better than most is the characters. You really get to like them and want them to be happy. As far as an audible goes, the narrator had it tough with many different voices. Her main character Voice was good but the She lost me in some of the other characters. I can only imagine how tough that is to do many voices. I would however definitely listen to another audio again by this writer. Great book! Any additional comments? It was refreshing to see Brooklyn Pierce portrayed as an educated, moral woman. Song was so sexy and Mattice was the comic relief and overall it was a fun suspenseful and romantic book. A book with a little of everything! I love books that have good story lines. This is my first Sydney Arrison book, and it gave me a little of everything I love. Brooklyn is the daughter of the governor. After an attempt on the governor's life, Brooklyn meets detective Song Kai. And from there we have an incredible story. From the whodunnit of the murder attempt to the budding love between Brooklyn and Song, I was drawn in. There are a few twists and turns throughout the book, some angst and sadness from the past to overcome and abundant passion with the two main characters. I have to say that the character of Mattice, Song's partner really brought a lot of humor to the story as well. What a great friend who just tells it like it is! Arrison knows how to weave all the different parts together for a wonderful story. Rose Lane did an beautiful job performing this book. She has a rich, warm voice giving the story the emotion necessary to draw you in. Loved the narration! Great book bad narrator.. The plot for this book was actually pretty good. However the narrator was drier than the Sahara. Her voice was really monotone and actually put me to sleep early on in the book. Somehow I managed to press on once I woke up from my nap. I would say definitely buy the book. However, I would not say listen to the book on Audible. Bad narration can really ruin the whole experience.

Title: Here and Now Author: Kimberla Lawson Roby Narrator: Donna Bailey Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 86 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Racquel has a beautiful house, a fulfilling career and a loving husband. But driven by her desperate longing for a child, she is alienating her husband and family. Marcella is a single mom, trying to support her two children with a low paying job, food stamps, and occasional child support from a deadbeat ex-husband. She won't allow anyone to interfere with her dream for a better lifestyle, not even her own children. Narrator Donna Bailey skillfully renders the emotionally powerful experiences of two women as they learn to accept their losses. Sometimes funny and often heartbreaking, their story touches listeners with a message of healing and hope. Members Reviews: A highly recommended reading!! Ms. Roby is a very good writer. She developed her characters well in this book, providing a good balance between sisters whose their lives are both similar yet difference; the author demonstrates how their closeness supersedes animosity and jealousy as they love and support each other when the going gets tough. She shows how when it rains, it pours, but with preseverance and faith in God, their family survive adversity. Highly recommended reading! Get your tissues ready, ladies I wasn't expecting this book to be so emotional. I thought it was going to just be about the relationship between sisters. But maybe our expectations are always interrupted in real life. Love the narrator's voice. Very well done. Tear-jerker, wonderful!! This was a wonderful touching book. I enjoyed it so much!! I felt the pain, heartache, joy, and all the other emotions of the sisters, just a really great book!!! Just like us... There were no extreme surprises and I found the characters to be just like everyone I already know. I was happy with the outcome of Kevin and Raquel. I wish something had been written more about the Administrator at the end on the big day. Otherwise, I enjoyed it and look forward to maybe a bit of a more 'out of the hood' storyline next time. It's all about life!! Really down to earth, and it could had a book two to follow the story.

Leaving New York City and Carter behind, she returns to her hometown to figure out what to do next. Meanwhile, Carter has discovered he made a huge mistake and goes after her, but she refuses to return with him to the city. He's determined to wait her out and settles into life in small-town Kansas as he works on wearing her down and earning her forgiveness. Can he ever make up for the things he said and win her back, or will he futilely chase Destiny forever? Members Reviews: not the best but it was good it was ok. I was interested enough to listen to the next book. would recommend Feels like an old harlequin novel The book was pretty good. It reminded me of an old harlequin novel except with a black woman heroine. There was not a lot of depth to the story but it was sweet, short and a little hot. The narrator was kinda bad and it made it very difficult to get into the story. Chasing Destiny I like this book, very good. Is it going to be a number two book that I can't wait. His Destiny I liked the whole book and concept. Carter didn't think to question a twenty year old diagnosis and thought he could never father a child. What he said to Destiny was heartbreaking and I cried along with her. Great story. Alright read Even though I knew the book was short, I can't be shocked by the storyline. I'm hesitant about reading the next book if there is one.

He took that drive and accomplished his dreams on the court. He made the world see him, adore him as much as I do. And he adores me, too. He does so through the good, the bad, and even the very worst that causes me to lose myself. He found me once, though. In a way, I also found him, too, but am I strong enough to keep him? Is he strong enough to keep me? Members Reviews: AMAZING!!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! How good is this book? Let me put it this way, this audio book was 11 hours and I listened it ALL in one sitting!! Never pausing, never stopping. It was such an INCREDIBLE love story. Roxie and Griffin are a fantastic couple and I rooted for them till the very end! Their love for each other is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I cried in this book. I felt their pain, I felt their love, so good was the writing. I will definitely be reading more books from this author. I was definitely heart broken when I realized that the book was finished, I wanted it to go on forever. Lol. This book is deserves a new word which holds greater meaning than SPECTACULAR. Definitely listening again. Loved Even More... What did you love best about Loved by You? I loved the idea of Griffin and Roxie, how in sync they are, but also how trusting they are. They both had a rude awakening to the motives of people they had to deal with on a routine basis. What was one of the most memorable moments of Loved by You? Roxie's denial that she had a problem. ok
I really liked this book and would have given it 5 stars if not for the use of God's name in vain. It had a great storyline and sexual storylines. It dealt with depression and body image and that was good. I can't wait to read more about his brothers and hopefully his father. BBW/BWWM romance. Great story! If you could sum up Loved by You in three words, what would they be? i was super engaged with this one. I think the only thing that annoyed me was the way the male narrator said the name Roxie. It got so annoying after a while but really loved this one! I wish this author had more audiobooks! I'd totally buy more! What happened to Roxie!!! I think this was the hardest Audible I ever had to sit through!!! The Roxie in this book was totally different from the Roxie in the first book. This Roxie was horrible. She had self-esteem issues and always assumed that Griffin would come after her. Griffin never stood up for himself. Everyone in this book took advantage of him, including Roxie. This whole book was annoying! The narriation was horrendous!!! Both of them, the male and female were horrible. The accent after the first paragraph was enough for me! The male accent was especially annoying. I think the author should have just left the book alone. The second book wasn't needed.

Sexy and relatable, insightful and inspiring, Love and Happiness shows us both sides of Chris and Karen's story, and reminds us that sometimes to have it all, you must first lose it all. Members Reviews: Awesome book Would you consider the audio edition of Love and Happiness to be better than the print version? Karen could have the affair with two other men than husband. What did you like best about this story? The husband finally hooking up with co worker Have you listened to any of J. Lee The Fabulouss other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes, I felt both feelings. Any additional comments? No, Awesome writer :) Realistic Love story Is there anything you would change about this book? My biggest pet peeve is unrealistic Romances, so I kinda enjoyed this real love story. However, it did kind of ended abruptly. If youve listened to books by Ben Burgess Jr. before, how does this one compare? I've never read this author's work before, but I will look out for more. Which scene was your favorite? I don't want to give too much of the story away, but I enjoyed how everything Karen was doing just came to light. Do you think Love and Happiness needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Like I said, it did sort of end abruptly, so a follow-up would be interesting. Does Karen change her cheating ways, what about the guys she was cheating with? Etc. the audio is flawed will head to tracks playing over each other throughout the book. I would have liked a bit more character development other than that the story was decent the low score is because of the flaws in the audio

With an absentee father, alcoholic mother, and a trip to foster care, Kendra might have given up on her dreams - but there's a spark inside her that just won't die. Members Reviews: Dreams I, again love Ms. Poole's books. This one is about dreams. I am still making my dreams come too. The main character just wants to do one thing. Will she make her dreams come true? A great read. From the Bottom Up "All I want Is Everything" by Daaimah S. Poole is a great read. The story is inspirational and true to life. Kendra Michelle Thomas had a rough life. Her dad left and her mom became an alcoholic. The only joys she has are her brothers and sisters and her singing. Kendra is tired of her dead end job and low pay. Kendra's life consists of her boring job and boring man Marcus. Her desire is to sing, so she takes a chance and jumps into the music industry.

It gave a different perspective on the music industry and what goes on behind the scenes. It shows that just because you have talent, it does not always mean you will get what you want; that it takes time and determination to make dreams come true. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an unfulfilled dream. Reviewed by Shavon Williams APOOO BookClub Dream to Live & Live the Dream.....

His wife, Tiffany, has kicked him out. But he doesn't want to give up on his marriage just yet - even if Tiffany has found company in the arms of Clarence Walker, the Minister of Music at Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center. Members Reviews: Happy Endings to Secrets and Lies! The ending to "The Other Side" series was pretty good. I enjoyed it. It has good a good number of suspenseful storylines/events that kept me plugged in and listening.... This series is bible based and therefore prayer and faith in God's blessings were cleverly woven and positive outcomes were abound, somebody even came back from the dead! Well, not truly dead but was able to tell all the stories that you hear in the media when someone says they died and lived to talk about it (i.e.: seeing the light, seeing dead relatives, looking down on the scene while the doctors are trying to save their life, etc.). This may be TMI but I don't think that it will deflect from the enjoyment of the story because anyone can see the "return from the dead" coming anyway. Narrator did a great job with as many as 5 or 6 characters in conversation at one time. Truly Good Read
I loved this series it keeps you connected and on the edge of your seat from start to finish. very good really enjoyed the book, just love the series, love Johnny Mae, would like to here more from this series Excellent!

"Full of crazy church politics and a huge cast, Griggs keeps this on-going story alive by addressing the challenges of living by Biblical rules with homespun humor." --Publishers Weekly Paris Simmons-Holyfield is finally pregnant with the baby she's dreamed of for so long. There's just one complication: she's not sure who the father is. Apparently, after a night of drinking with her ex-coworker and ally Darius Connors, it could be him. Considering her husband's track record, chances are it is. Still, Paris prays it's not Darius, and decides to keep quiet about her worries. Especially because Darius isn't ready to give up on his crumbling marriage... Meanwhile, after a battle to keep her adopted daughter and an ugly confrontation with Paris's family, Gabrielle Mercedes has finally found love and happiness. But when her father shows up, paroled from prison, she fears she's in for another round of trouble. As all three navigate the path from sin to redemption, can they forgive their way to the other side?" What I enjoyed about "The Other Side of Divine"....

The last thing she expected was an instant attraction to handsome, dedicated doctor Tyler Cole - or that her investigation would cause someone to try to destroy Tylers career and reputation. Now, as they search the past for answers, they must walk a dangerous line between trust and uncertainty that will put their future love at stake. Critic Reviews: "Homecomingis the latest in Ms. Alers Hideaway series, and boy, what an intense installment its proven to be!" (RT Book Reviews) Members Reviews: i wanted more If you could sum up Homecoming in three words, what would they be? never let go! Who was your favorite character and why? tyler, you got to love a man that protects his woman ! Which character as performed by Cary Hite was your favorite? tyler Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? i did listen to this in one sitting i cleaned my whole house! i had to find out who was the killer and why Outstanding Worth every minute of my time.. Loved the love at first sight story and the complications of investigating family history.. Wonderful job of writing. Enjoyed beginning to end.. Awesome Loved it! This story was great! Always have liked Rochelle Alers. Really enjoyed this book. The story was good, but... This book was pretty good, however, the ending was not that great. It almost seemed as though Rochelle got tired of writing and decided to end the book abruptly. The epilogue told the background, but I would have liked to hear the ending unfold. What I thoroughly enjoyed were the sound effects throughout the book. They made to story a whole lot more interesting. Reminder of why I love the Hideaway Series Although the introduction says that Taylor Cole is a Beta, I see him as a quiet yet strong alpha male who isn't afraid to take care of what is his! Taylor Cole is a quiet sole, but if you mess with what he considers his, there will be hell to pay. I loved Tyler Cole's character because he didn't allow monetary wealth to define who he is. His unselfish caring and dedication to the town's people made me wish I had my own personal Tyler Cole. The narrator did an amazing job (to include sound affects. I laughed when he realized that he made mistake , and kept reading. Additionally the special effects (storm sounds) were so real that I stopped the recording three times before I realized that it sounds were coming from the story lol. Great job.

Members Reviews: Amateur, at best I usually prefer unabridged audiobooks, but I was ready for this one to be over with 30 minutes into it. The story line was belabored and the dialogue was just plain weak. The daddy was taking Viagara. We get it. Why is that such a shocking secret for an older man to be sexually active? Afterall, he was engaged! I heard the word "quagmire" twice, and neither in the appropriate context. Apparently riding in the "family car" at a funeral is important to some people. Seems like a stupid issue that was totally blown out of proportion. And about "laced coffee" and buying caskets wholesale to save money? Again, we get it! Trite phrases like "Even Stevie Wonder could see ..." made my eyes roll. This book just went on and on about details that should have been left out. The editor should be fired! Save your money, ladies, and find another book! wonderful story This book had me glued to my GPS system, I could not wait to find out the ending because it was sure a great page turner. LOVED IT!! Narrator is always on point- to me,kept me interested ,and loved the ending! Made me want to seek more of her work Narrator was a little distracting I could hear the narrator swallowing between phrases or during long sentences. Her diction and character portrayals were great.. An EnjoyableRead What did you like best about Sittin' in the Front Pew? What did you like least? I liked how the story was able to embed and draw you in to the story as though you were actually there. The characters are life-like The author did a good job of capturing the essence of grief and its aftermath on the family while bringing a sense of humor into the plot. Any family that has experienced the lost of a loved one will be able to relate to the story and how grief effects each family member differently creating complications. Overall, I enjoyed listening to the story line even though I thought the plot was somewhat predictable at times ( I was able to guess what was going to happen next). If this book were a movie would you go see it? No

Cypress, the dancer, leaves home to find new ways of moving and easing the contractions of her soul. Indigo, the youngest, is still a child of Charleston - with too much of the South in her - who lives in poetry, can talk to her dolls, and has a great gift of seeing the obvious magic of the world.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: What I Needed I've seen this white book with the blue lady on it in my house for years in passing and never picked it up. Only at 28 ( 29 in a few days) did I pick it up when my siblings and I went to surprise redecorate mother's house for the new year. It is everything. Everything I needed right now. I also decided to get my free audio book and to have this to go along with the book was such a treat. Amazing Stunning prose; excellent reading. Sound quality isn't amazing, but I didn't notice after the first fifteen minutes. Black authers I love. love the book, one of my favorites. It was great to have it read aloud. Way too weird for me..... This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Someone who's looking for a titillating listen. Any additional comments? It just wasn't for me. I bought it because I've enjoyed another book which was co-written by this author.

This is my first time reading this book on audio, I originally read it about eight years ago. I must say I was truly delighted with the narrator. She did an outstanding job. How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter? Sister Hellraiser. The way she cuts up, reminds me of so many of my family members. I bought the next book before I finished the first one. And the original question asked "Who was my favorite character?" SISTER HELLRAISER Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this? How Mrs O'Gorge-Walker does it don't know but, I love it! What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance? Nothing at all. She was flawless! Love this story line. This book was make you laugh, think and be grateful. I will listen to this again.

There was way too much cuteness about the names and practically no action. It never grew and I didn't come to care about the characters. Humorous yet powerful! Powerful!!! Those who have an ear let them hear what the SPIRIT is saying!!!! Love it!!! bad, boring I can listen to almost anything. In fact I made it through this but only because I didnt have anything else and I have an addiction to audio books. Honestly, this book is just stupid, not funny.

But they dont succeed, because Ma Ray was once a wild child like her granddaughtersand she knows every trick in the book. Critic Reviews: [A] sassy inspirational tale (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Uplifting It was a good break from some of the other books that I have read. It was very Bible centric and God was always at the center of it all. Being raised by my grandma, there were some similarities in some of the sayings which put a smile on my face. If you are looking for some sizzling moments, this isn't the book for you. But if you want some easy listening this might be the one. Thank you Jesus loved it. A great reminder that there's hope for all of us. The narrator was okay. That Missing Old School Grandma... She's Back! Where does Ray of Hope rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Great book. Who was your favorite character and why? The Grandma. Yess. Loved her. What does Patricia R. Floyd bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Great voice that made the book wonderful. If you could rename Ray of Hope, what would you call it? Perfect how it is. Ray Of Hope Author: Vanessa Davis Griggs Published By: Dafina Age Recommended: YA+ Rating: 5 Reviewed by: Arlena Dean Review: "Ray of Hope" by Vanessa Davis Griggs was another wonderful novel.This beautiful story of a seventy-five year old grandmother who kept her two granddaughters during the summer who had some major issues she had to deal with. This grandmother who was called Ma Ray was deeply rooted in memories of her own past and common sense and with all of this she was there to help her two granddaughters. This novel was definitely one of those that once I started reading "Ray of Hope" I could not put it down until I finished...so 4 and 1/2 hours later...I finished a truly wonderful, beautiful well written book. This was truly a read that you you will see in the end that the granddaughters maturing and seeing things in life quite differently. The characters are something...from Ma Ray, Sahara, Crystal, Lenora, Andre, June Bug, Erin and a few others... making this novel simply off the chart a good read. If you have never read any of Ms. Vanessa Davis Griggs reads...be sure to pick this one up. You will not be sorry. Ray of Hope is about a grandmother trying to give advice to her out of control granddaughters. "Each time the girls were in a predicament, Ma Ray always had a solution." Ma Ray wanted the girls to have a positive outlook on life and not move on only impulse and most of all the granddaughters learned that their grandmother was not a push over...being unable to pull crazy stuff with her. YES! What a grandmother.. that always had a good solution. Now, this is where I say you must pick up this read "Ray of Hope." "Ray of Hope" is a story definitely that will benefit today's youth(teens) and I would highly recommend this for a excellent read for all.

When a horrific tragedy sends Antonio to jail, their worlds turn upside down. Antonio struggles to stay alive on the inside; Natasha battles society on the outside. Over the course of 10 years, they share an intimate correspondence as their lives change dramatically and they often have only each other to turn to. Will fate bring them back together, or will they remain forever apart? Ripe with unforgettable characters and two haunting voices, Upstate is an audio program not to be missed. Critic Reviews: " "A moving, uplifting story of love and hope in the face of adversity." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Great Book. Different Delivery, and Enjoyable Great Book. Unusual style delivery, but enjoyable once it gets going. I realy enjoyed this book, and the letter method used for delivery. As the dates of each letter are given, it adds perspective to the setting/atmosphere. strange but good I started this book and was upset I got it. The format is strange at first, but it grows on you. It is two teenagers writing letters to one another and it follows them through growing up under some tough circumstances. It grows on you, the story grabs you, and after this, you will like it. It is a good book. Get the tissues out This is a great book. I was riveted. Listened to it in 2 days. The narrators are excellent. The story is told in letters to each other (male & female main characters mainly). It spans from 1990 - 1999 but doesn't drag at all, has very good momentum. I was very emotional listening to it, I had tears for the last 3 or 4 hours intermittent w/ some laughter. This could be for adults and high school or older. I highly recommend it. Different I enjoyed this book told from letters written back and forth over many years. The characters are full bodied and interesting. A different read and a story you have not read 100 times before. Branching out I titled my review as "branching out" because this is not the type of book I would normally even consider reading or listening to. I really enjoyed the experience. The emotions and facts that were communicated with this heart wrenching story were amazing. It helps you appreciate what life is like for those raised in Harlem and provided with few breaks in life. The graphic details of prison life were as real to life as I have read in factual accounts previously (non-fiction). Narrator did an excellent job....depicting the emotions of the characters was done superbly and made you feel like it was really happening right now.

Critic Reviews: "You don't have to be African American to enjoy this suspenseful novel, though it probably helps if you are a female reader." (Library Journal) "Pina...delivers strong characters and an intricate plot." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Good story What did you love best about Chasing Sophea? I loved having a peek at mental illness and how a family handled or didn't handle it. i loved how the family used a combination of family love and therapy to handle the main characters problem. Read the book instead of listening to audio What disappointed you about Chasing Sophea? How did aunt baby get in the dalia house when she went to California. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Trying to figure out what te big secret was How did the narrator detract from the book? I enjoyed the book but the narrator Ms. Peele was very irritating because she kept taking sips of water and swallowing through th whole book. Made it hard to enjoy the book. What character would you cut from Chasing Sophea? Mercy because really she had no revelant in the story. AMAZING If I could give this book a rating from 1 to 10. It would definately be a 10. This is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. It was a little hard to follow at first but it was well worth the wait. It had a very different touch to it. It was based in Dallas County, a familiar area to me. This is a great read. Running from our past and chasing our future.

She is a hustler's wife and the mother of a beautiful girl and owns a townhouse and a nice car - she's living the life. But when the feds arrest her man, Dixyn's whole world begins to crumble. Things quickly go from bad to worse, and, as the bills begin to mount, her ability to maintain her lavish lifestyle is put to the test. She becomes strapped for cash, and her good intentions lead to bad decisions. Enter Brian Winters, B-Dub, her one saving grace - or so she initially believes. In Dixyn's time of need, B-Dub turns out to be no more than an opportunist with his own agenda. Dixyn becomes indebted to him and is forced to do his bidding in order to survive. With B-Dub on her back, she submerges herself in the murky waters of street life and becomes entangled in a web of lust, betrayal, blackmail, and deceit, ultimately discovering that there are no rules in the game, loyalty is limited, trust will get you hurt, and love will get you killed. Members Reviews: an alright read The character of Dixyn was really naive. After witnessing the arrest of her boyfriend Bryce and losing everything she restored to desperation. What I did not like about this story is how the character of d bub was written. He just showed up and then thrown in the storyline. Then Bryce was not mention for quite awhile in the storyline. It's like he never existed. Not a bad read the message at the end was received. Three and a half stars. This is a interesting story... Caught Up by Shannon Holmes and Angel Mechelle is a good book. This is a interesting story. Both authors did a good job. I enjoyed reading this book because it is well- written and well characters. Like/Dislikes I like the concept and vibe in this book. Dixyn is a provider and protect for her daughter. Kendra is a something else. B Dub is a cold hearted, selfish, jealous, crazy, sneaky and shady. Recommend: Shannon Holmes and Angel Mechelle take their time to writing for this book. Caught Up is a really good book. It's dealing with lot of drama. Rating: I choose the rating for this book and authors is 5 stars. I'm looking forward to read another book from both authors. Good Job: Sandra It's ok Interesting but not as captivating as some of his other works. Weak story line and I didn't care for the ending. Not a bad read I am a fan of Shannon Holmes and this book was ok but the grammatical errors take away from the concept of what is being imagined. Never have there been any grammar errors like this that I can remember reading a book only by Shannon Holmes. Editing means a lot when u want readers to follow you.It doesn't matter if you are a new writer or an experienced writer editing plays a very big part of return readers. The book could have been great good story line but hard to hold the concept because of grammar errors. This was a terrible book and I was so mad reading it This was a terrible book and I was so mad reading it. It was disappointing and a waste of time. Everyone in book club agreed!

Lewis offers a compelling tale of a single father seeking a better future while dealing with his crazy ex. Devon Wrights young daughter, Brianna, is the most important person in his life. After his last relationship, Devon isnt looking to get involved with another woman anytime soon. But all that changes when his friend introduces him to Cassandra - and Devon wonders if he might actually have a chance at love. Members Reviews: Funny, Sad, filled with many emotions What did you love best about Finding Mrs. Wright? I loved the whole story. the narrator was fun and on point. At times I wanted to put hands on the child's mother. MUST READ.You will not be sorry you read this book. Awful What disappointed you about Finding Mrs. Wright? There was a lot of drama, but it didn't really focus on the title of the book, yes he found his Mrs. Wright, but it was rushed and the title should really have been Crazy Baby Momma. What could Sherri L. Lewis have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Maybe added some romance between Devon and Cassandra, it wasn't romantic at all. How could the performance have been better? I don't know. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment, it made me not want to listen to the second installment. It was just boring. nice sweet story but hated the ending!!!! Is there anything you would change about this book? the ending and a little more interaction with his love interest it was kind of boring Would you listen to another book narrated by Corey Allen? yes If this book were a movie would you go see it? nope "Finding the worthy storyline" I was very disappointed in this book. Although it portrayed Devon in a positive light (a man doing whatever it took to care for his daughter) the antics of his babymama called for more serious measures. It was very nerve wrecking to read that he wasn't taking "real-life" measures to secure her safety. I also think that the narrator could have done a better job. The content of this book wasn't a "right fit" for him (in my opinion). It made for a OK read.

Porter is a handsome Detroit firefighter who just got burned by his cheating girlfriend. Winona is a single mom who is getting by despite an old secret that haunts her. When Porter and Winona meet, they must face their pasts to allow their present romance to grow. Members Reviews: Entertaining! I was pleased with both of the narrators and with the actual story line. This book developed well; nothing was drawn out or suspenseful. Listeners can relate to both of the main characters, who are hiding secrets from each other and from the world, but who fall in love with each other despite their flaws. The ending was sell served by the author. I look forward to buying her sequel. I highly recommend this book to everyone who is not perfect but who is at least honest about it. Worth it! This was a very well written book! I loved it. The female narrator made a lot of smacking nosies that was hard to listen to, but all in all it was a great book. Great Book! I loved this book. Although there were a lot of pauses by the narrator, overall, they both did an excellent job. Can't wait to listen to the sequel "It's Like That". Originality I enjoyed this very much. A beautiful story about being steadfast in your love for another person. Acceptance, compassion and understanding, are all imperative elements for unconditional love. Not to mention one of the main characters; Porter had me laughing out loud. His logic really appealed to "my type" of humor. Good read... :) Good listen ok, this is a good book to listen to, but it made my skin crawl listening to both of the narrators swallow and smacking in between lines. I kept listening to find out what happen at the end.

My life was far from a fairy tale. I've been victimized, falsely imprisoned, and crossed by everyone I knew. My journey to finding love and having everything go wrong in the process has changed me. I had no choice but to fight - fight for a love I so desperately wanted but was never worthy enough to find. A love that ultimately altered my mental state for the worst! My prayers went unanswered! My cries weren't noticed! My plea for salvation was denied! After the numerous trial and tribulations I had to endure, and being the product of such a horrific environment, there's only one question I want to know: Am I wrong for turning into the person I've become? Members Reviews: Great Read Tanisha seem to have one traumatic incident after another. Her father was a selfish and heartless bastard. That kept a dark secret from her. Dealing with some of the thing's Tanisha dealt with would drive the strongest person insane. However some of the downfalls experienced was of her own doing. Crystal had her own demons she was battling but when the truth of what she was going through came to light. It was jaw dropping. Summer was scandalous for what she was trying to pull with Tanisha. I can't wait to see the reaction of Marcus once he finds out the truth from the news he received Full of Suspense I really enjoyed this book. It was full of so much suspense and because I love suspense, I kept forcing myself to put it down. At one point, I typed in a character's name on my kindle to see if they would eventually re-enter the story. I have never done that before! I always like to wait and see, but in this case, the suspense was killing me and I just HAD to know. This would have been a 5 star, but....there were errors that I was able to overlook throughout the beginning of the book, but by the end, I was frustrated. Then there was a part that was totally unrealistic. I'm in law enforcement and I know something would not happen the way it happened in the book. The lack of research in that case made me knock the rating down to 3 stars but the way the book ended bumped it back up to 4 stars. I can't wait until Part 2 is released. Great read! This is the first book I have read by this author. I must say I enjoyed it...definitely a page turner and grasps your attention. I felt sorry for Tanisha and all that she endured. Not only did she lose her mother and twin but her father was just as worst. How could you turn your back on your child after all she went through? I do think Tanisha could have made better choices though especially now knowing she have HIV. I think Crystal knew what she was doing and tryimg to make it right by befriending Tanisha but that backfired on her. I knew Crystal would blame Tanisha for her brothers death but was shocked when she didn't. I can't wait for part 2 to see what happens next. How will Marcus react to his new found disease and who wil he blame? Not my style Did not care for this book. Did not read beyond the first chapter. Just not my style. Did not continue to read mostly due to choice of words and not just due to explicit descriptions but just presented in what seemed to be a crude and unsettling manner.

Makeda Audiobook by Randall Robinson

Free Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 06-19-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Political activist and best-selling author Randall Robinson is a pillar of scholarship and insight within the African-American literary community. His acclaimed novel Makeda stars Gray March, a young man who, beginning in the 1950s, embarks on a journey of spiritual and historical enlightenment through stories he hears from his blind grandmother. Critic Reviews: Eloquent and erudite, Robinsons oft-times mystical coming-of-age saga teems with rich and evocative historical insights. ( Booklist) Members Reviews: Home Run! By the title alone, if you are a reader who enjoys "factual" fiction you know you are in for a treat. The book is essentially a coming-of-age story, but told with a backdrop of African history. When and where have the Dogon been mentioned in a work of fiction? The thoughts that run through Gray's mind are certainly designed to be instructive to the reader. It is rare that a novel can be educational in regards to African history, and how it relates to the contemporary African-American but Makeda is that. Randall Robinson has hit a home run with his first novel. Beautiful and unique There isn't much fantasy fiction written from an African-American perspective, which is kind of surprising when you think about the rich oral tradition of passing down folk tales through the generations. Makeda is hard to categorize - part coming of age novel, part anthropological expedition, part esoteric history and science lesson, part romance (the romance, as in most coming of age novels, is the most two-dimensional and least compelling story). All told, quite enjoyable. Poignant and enlightening As I finished reading Makeda, I became overwhelmed with emotion. It is poignantly enlightening as to the deep, deep ignorance we as black people have about ourselves and our tremendous impact on the world. Our knowledge,sadly, has little depth. This book is the start of my correcting that gap in my education. The writing is challenging and thought-provoking. I also had the great pleasure of hearing Randall Robinson speak about Makeda...an experience not to be missed! On a personal note, I connected to Makeda's words on death. My mother died unexpectedly a few months ago and the book helped me embrace that event as a 'passing' instead of an end. "My spirit will always be close enough to touch and protect you all. So, do not grieve for me. My body will die, but my soul will live on. For my soul cannot die. Always remember that my soul is the spark of God in me." Beautiful. Dense, hard to get through, but so worthwhile ... Dense, hard to get through, but so worthwhile. As a Black woman, I think that I am especially appreciative of this particular piece, and the amount of research that must have gone in to writing this leaves me feeling strangely indebted to Robinsonâin a way that words just cannot express. Read it. MAKEDA- AN EDUCATIONAL, SPIRITUAL, LITERARY GOLDMINE!!! This is by far the most TRANSFORMATIVE novel I have ever read. When I was reading this book I experienced a spiritual sensation that I have never experienced before when reading any book. It seemed to pull a lot of feelings about our people and the situation that we find ourselves in out of the deeper regions of my soul".

Washington Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-15 Publisher: Dynasty Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: When it comes to love, hate, trust, honesty, lying, cheating, deceit, betrayal, drama, and back-breaking, limitless, raw, and uncut sex - this monthly urban soap, Single Ladies, takes you to a whole 'nother level of play. There will be no holding back, no biting of the tongue, and best believe the gloves are coming off when five childhood friends take you through the everyday life of being a single lady. Expect everything...except boredom! Members Reviews: Not what I expected This book has really been an eye opener, I thought is was going to be the run of the mill book with pure ghetto drama. Instead, it's a group of 30 something trying to truly figure out their way in the Hood and getting caught up. I have to see how the second part goes and see if I can give that 5 Stars. If so, I may have to see what other books are out there by these authors. Good storyline, but terrible reader The book is not terrible. There were some parts that were predictable, but still good. I laughed, was talking to myself out loud while listening to the book (about what was happening. I'm I the only person who does that? )But the only downfall was the reader. She didn't give life to the characters. She didn't try to become the characters, and that helps paint the picture. At times I thought I should read myself. Good but Short I really enjoyed listening to the book . just wish it was longer. thanks terri Very interesting I can't wait to get the 2set i want to know what's going to happen, was anticipating the drama great read Excellent Story I loved the single ladies series!! It was full of surprises, drama, scandal and hot sexy scenes. The narrator was very clear and delivered the story well. I can't wait to read the next installment of single ladies to see what happens with Tammy, Kim, Lisa and Felicia!

Kamille is now out to wreak havoc on her already messed-up life. Ayani is trying her best to hold on to her fragile relationship with her longtime boyfriend, Kash, in the heat of it all. She'll end up paying the ultimate toll for her scandalous and childish behavior. Will she take heed when reality sets in or will she just be a product of her circumstances? Members Reviews: 2 stars because it was somewhat entertaining Lacked a real grasp....story was stuck in a setting of two weeks...the ending seemed rushed and low...although bit impressed I would read more from the author in hopes that the stories were more detailed, connected, and longer. Good, but not really rushing to read part three it was ok. The beginning was good, but one it was too short and two, it was too predictable. In a way, you knew what was going to happen, especially with the father before it ever did. Quick Read. Quick and to the point. Hot and Steamy scenes. You won't be disappointed with this short story. Looking for a part two. Nice easy read Story line flowed well, the characters made sense and intertwined without being confusing. Looking forward to part two. Great job Way too short, and the title does not fit ... Way too short, and the title does not fit the story. Not intetested enough to continue the series and definitely not willing to pay more money for 15 pages

Title: Disgruntled Author: Asali Solomon Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 04-21-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Kenya Curtis is only eight years old, but she knows that she's different, even if she can't put her finger on how or why. It's not because she's black - most of the other students in the fourth-grade class at her West Philadelphia elementary school are, too. Maybe it's because she calls her father - a housepainter-slash-philosopher - "Baba" or because her parents' friends gather to pour out libations "from the Creator, for the Martyrs" and discuss "the community". Kenya does know that it's connected to what her Baba calls "the shame of being alive" - a shame that only grows deeper and more complex. Disgruntled, effortlessly funny, and achingly poignant, follow Kenya from West Philadelphia to the suburbs, from public school to private, from childhood through adolescence, as she grows increasingly disgruntled by her inability to find any place or thing or person that feels like home. Critic Reviews: "A deft, knowing, bold, and witty debut." ( Booklist) Members Reviews: Disappointed with disgruntled Struggled to complete this book. At times the read was confusing. When referencing the key, why Kenyas parents never took her to a therapist about her sleep walking. It felt like this author became just as confused and decided to give up on the ending. I'd hoped that the ending was going to come together but it never did. Loved It!!! The father is severely damaged as a result of racism or mental illness. As a result these issues damage the family. But despite his issues the main character will be be mostly okay. This story depicts the struggle of many educated African Americans. Adichie's twin? Intimate descriptions of characters, sharp sword of truth, fresh voices, hilarious at times, a light shown on human nature, strong females....it reminded me of Adichie's Americanah. What comes from the heart, speaks to the heart! A wonderful coming of age tale for our urban princesses! Solomon reveals the soul and touches the heart. Not much happens I could see the water but the author never takes us in. This reads like a draft full of potential...

Former flame Dr. Clint Fairchild just might be the one to give her a hand. Members Reviews: unhappy listening The lesson I learned from this book is to always listen to the sample offered prior to purchasing.? The plot of the book is weak and predictable, but it could have made good light entertainment if the reader had been able to give the words more life. There were a LOT of pauses that made me wonder if the chapter was finished.?One kind of loses the line of the story with so many long pauses. This is the first time that I got a book that disappointed so much that I only listened to the first part.? I have no desire to finish it.? I'm sorry that it was so poorly presented, because I was really looking forward to listening. Perfect Title. I loved "Nappily Ever After" so I searched for other books by Trisha Thomas and come across the series. I really loved the characters, Venus, Jake, Clint, Trisha but the story got a little confusing. I put it down for a while and came back. Toward the middle of I got a little more interested and couldn't wait to find out who was causing Jackson Memorial to fail. Was there anything between Jake and Trisha,; how was Venus going to continue to work with her ex - finance. By the end it all came together and I found myself saying I thought so. The title was perfect for this story.

Sweet Southern Nights continues the Eaton family saga, which finds Dr. Levi Eaton far from his Northern roots, volunteering at a Kentucky clinic. There he meets Angela Chase, whose sultry Southern hospitality is just what the doctor ordered. But as their relationship deepens, Angela worries Levi may discover the secrets shes been hiding. Members Reviews: Another Eaton If you could sum up Sweet Southern Nights in three words, what would they be? Delightful Easy Listen! What was one of the most memorable moments of Sweet Southern Nights? I especially enjoyed the scene when Levi Eaton showed up right on time when Angela confronts her ex fiancé for the 1st time at her cousin's wedding. Which character as performed by Corey Allen was your favorite? Angela was my fav character performed by Corey Allen. His voice and inflections were just right for her. I don't think his voice was deep enough to really capture Levi Eaton's character. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? The Eaton's...the Saga continues Okay story The overall story was good, a typical love story; boy meets girl, girl likes boy etc. However, I could not get a grasp on the main characters because they "flip flopped" so much during the story. Additionally, the narrator's tone and voice for the main male character caused him to seem cold and harsh. The story line seemed a little rushed and far fetched at the end, which was in contrast to the slow story line throughout the book. Good Story Horrid Performance Would you try another book from Rochelle Alers and/or Corey Allen? Yes, I love her writing. She is incredibly imaginative, usually. This book was not a complete flop, but it could have been better. Maybe I was just frustrated by the reader. Would you be willing to try another one of Corey Allens performances? NO! He was dry, emotionless, and made me want to stop listening after the first 3 minutes. the eatons Where does Sweet Southern Nights rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? about a 7 i love rochelle alers i got all her books What did you like best about this story? he loved her threw it all What about Corey Allens performance did you like? i got use to him he did most of her books Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? i did, i normally listen to all her books that way there so soo good Magnificent!!! All the books regarding the Eatons are absolutely wonderful....The writing makes you want to find an Eaton...

THEY MADE A HAPPY COUPLE Nope!! The story is mediocre at best buy the narrator just totally killed it! She has absolutely the wrong voice inflections or at times none at all!! I'm so happy that this was only $3.00. Short bwwm love story. With Happy ending. An accident starts an interesting pursuit with a sweet ending.Wish it was a little longer & a more romantic first time. But AUDIBLE BWWM with girls of a darker hue are rare jems I grab. I'm thankful.

In Scandals, Monica Houston is a newly divorced mom who makes ends meet as an exotic dancer at Scandalous, the hottest club around. But if the ex finds out, she runs the risk of losing her kids. Meanwhile, sexy dancer Robin Wright thinks she might be in over her head when her sister is sent to jail and her nephew is thrust into her care. Unprepared for this new role, Robin finds herself falling for the kids big brother, even as she tries to prove her sisters innocence. Members Reviews: Excellent Where does Scandals rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I listen to several audio books, this one here kept me on edge, It made me feel like I was in the story, anxious and all.. I have never listened to Sasha Campbell before, but I look forward to more by her.. great Scandals had me at the edge of my seat This book was amazing and had me at the edge of my seat. I love how the author brought these characters to life with words and the Narrators were the perfect match for this book. I have read other books by Sasha Cambell and really like all of them she is a brilliant author. Her characters are confident and deal with real life drama/situations that keep people engrossed in her writing and wanting to find out what's going to happen next. What I liked most is that each characters conflicts played a role in the way that they lived their lives. My favorite character was Monica because I feel as if she was most like me. I can totally relate to the part of the book where her true weekend occupation was found out by her love interest. In my case it was my older brother and his friends so I knew how she felt because I had once been in her shoes. I would recommend this book to anyone who is openminded and looking for something interesting to listen to. Sometimes as people grow they have to find their own way to their dreams, and in order to do that they have to take a journey and stumble onto paths along the way that weren't on the map. I feel that this book has great life lessons and each character made decisions the best way that they knew how to. Those stumbling blocks and decisions are what make this book a great read. Action Packed Would you consider the audio edition of Scandals to be better than the print version? A Definate Must Read and Listen, Listening you can feel the characters more especially with an awesome narrator..... What did you like best about this story? I liked how what people may view as low class and negative can turn into something positive how she didnt make stripping her focal point in life... Which scene was your favorite? My favorite scene...... THE HOT TUB LMBO Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yep Any additional comments? Most exciting nail biting part was when the truth came out and he was still free oooooooh Scandels was Superb! Scandels was a superb read. Robin held her own and despite the drama she always resisted, when it came her way--she made sure to handle it like a Lady! Her Treasure persona was professional and her compassionate spirit helped the ladies when they needed it. Monica did what she had to do as a mother who had to feed her children and I can respect her for that. She was Monica when she needed to be and Deja when it was appropriate .

Accepting the charge of writing a letter to the parents of a fallen friend and fellow soldier, Walter Burke begins to reflect on the effects that segregation has had on his family and the effect the Vietnam war is having on him. Narrator Dion Graham provides an exceptional reading of Grooms unsentimental prose. Members Reviews: Social history lesson and Memory of troubled times Any additional comments? This is a great "read" (but I'm listening to it from Audible) that brings back so clearly the troubled times of the early 60's. I was the same age then as the protagonist, who grows up quickly in segregated Birmingham, Alabama. I grew up in a lower middle class Pittsburgh, in the North, in a community with mixed ethnicity and mixed reactions to events in the Deep South . While I experienced no marches or police "riots" like he does, I remember the tenseness of our parents in those difficult times, that affected even us, the children. The narrator is wonderful, capturing the diction and accents of children and adults, both African American as well as those who just wanted things to stay the same, some, willing to use violence to keep it so.

Title: Almost Doesn't Count Author: Angela Winters Narrator: Shari Peele Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: National best-selling author Angela Winters has earned legions of fans for her tempting tales of passion. This second installment in her D.C. series features the continuing saga of best friends who overcome difficult childhoods to find professional success, but still struggle with chaotic personal lives. As Sherise Robinson puzzles over who fathered her daughter, Erica Kent endures a difficult family reunion. Meanwhile, Billie Carter flounders in the aftermath of a nasty divorce. Members Reviews: The Story Line Was... ...predictable and cliche. The title is confusing, as I spent the entire time trying to interpret how it applied to the story or wondering when it would be used as a line by one of the main characters...never happened! Additionally, the characters were not always believable...the fight scenes...please insert a straight face here! Overall, it was a good way to pass the time on my train rides to and from work. Great books/audiobooks make you want to indulge on your lunch breaks, downtime, and when you're spending time at home on the weekends. This book did not have that affect on me. Nevertheless, it was an effective means of avoiding weird/unwelcome interactions with other commuters. I will say that I like many of the author's other works and was a little let down by this. It read more like a first book than that of an accomplished author. I liked it I am enjoying the series. Interesting chain of events. Although there are challenges nothing seems to separate these best friends. A must read!! This book had my attention from beginning to end! I found it hard to go to bed at night. I just could not put this book down. Suspense! I was on pins and needles wondering what would happen next. Ms. Winters I have say I do not trust sequels at least not in the past. Somehow after the first book the sequels just don't get better. But this one was as good if not better than the first. The other thing is if one had not read the first book they could still keep up with the characters because you share their past. Liked most of the characters - story was rather slow ... Liked most of the characters - story was rather slow and confusing at first - then it picked up in a hurry but did not care for the ending. Real Life Ms. Winters, did a wonderful job with this story. I wish more of our young women could read this book. Ms. Winters story is whats happening to our young women in real life.

The key ingredient in Glow is the Living Blood, which courses through the veins of 17-year-old Washington state resident Fana Wolde. Distrustful of her parents and eager to share her healing powers via an elaborate underground network, Fana sets out on her own. But what she doesn't know is she's being hunted by a mysterious and homicidal group with ties to the Vatican. Members Reviews: wonderful narration It was like listening to a play. This narrator is a real story teller. The book is just up my street; mystery, magic, paranormal mixed in to the present day. Great Book, Narrator leaves MUCH to be desired. Started reading the hardcover before I saw this audio version. I love this series by Due and this book is a great continuation of The Living Blood. The narrator's reading, however, is extremely distracting. Poor pacing and timing with way too many long pauses in the narration. Although the main character is an adolescent I don't think the book should be read like a young adult novel. Going to have to go back to the hardcover and "re-read." I agree This was a waste of time and money. The book itself may have been good, but there was no way to know. The narrator's style made it nearly impossible to follow the storyline. She pauses after every three or four words and her sentnences run together. She does fairly well with accents, though, but it was not enough to overcome her tempo/style. Her voice is pitched neither too high nor too low, so she would be pleasant to listen to if she can overcome the manner in which she reads. I am not overly picky. If I write something negative, it is unusual. Wasted credit. I started listening to this book on a plane and promptly fell asleep. I tried to listen again, forcing myself through part 1 and finally gave up. The narrator might have a lot to do with my dislike of this book, maybe if I actually read it myself...who knows. I love this type of book, I just don't like this one. The character names, the voice, the prose is just irritating to me. Great storyline Loved it. Found myself rooting for Fana. The narrators really helped me live the moment.

In Recipe for Desire, Marie Charles party-girl days come to a screeching halt with a DWI arrest and a totaled Jaguar. Sentenced to 500 hours of community service at a local womens shelter, her only bright spot is a fellow volunteer, TV star Devon Harris. But Devon wants nothing to do with Marie and her selfish ways - until her work at the shelter has her turning over a new leaf. Members Reviews: Chocolate flavored romance This is my first audiobook with all African-American characters. It was a different type of story to what I'm used to but it was different in a good way. This book had a message about helping others less fortunate, about not judging people without knowing them and that the important things in life can't be bought with money. Nice and entertaining... The narrator was good too and very appropriate for the characters. She added emotions to the story although her male voices were just ok. I would try more books by this author and/or narrator. Awesome book I loved the story and of course Ms Shari Peele did an awesome job narrating as usual. I highly recommend this book Amazing Book!!! I absolutely loved this book Cheris Hodges did it yet again and I'm ready for more ..

McFadden has authored several national best-sellers, including Suger and This Bitter Earth. Camilla's childhood was immersed in chaos and love, and steeped in the myth of perfection. As an adult, she never looked back, refusing to acknowledge the people and places that had scarred her so many years ago. But a legacy of cancer proves inescapable, forcing Camilla to embrace the past - no matter how painful it may be - and to salvage what is left of her love in order to save her daughter. As Camilla discovers the bittersweet limitations of motherhood and reconciliation, she also awakens an inspiring message about the mortality issues we all must face. Critic Reviews: Gritty but loving portrait of an African-American familys indestructible ties. (Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: A multigenerational family story There were a few times that the story seemed a little disconnected but for the most part it was well told. The story of how families cope and grow. They don't always thrive well but they grow whether nurtured well or not. They survive even though they may be fractured. Home is always home something always brings you back. Good story.

When attorney Coop Lindsay agrees to defend a black man accused of murdering a white teenager, the bribes and death threats don't intimidate him. As he prepares for the case of a lifetime, the young lawyer knows that innocent or guilty, he will no longer welcome in Justice. 2014: To some, the result of the trial still feels like a fresh wound even 50 years later, when Coop's grandson arrives in Justice seeking answers to the questions unresolved by the trial that changed his family's legacy. When a new case is presented, again pitting white against black, this third generation Lindsay may have the opportunity he needs to right the wrongs of the past. Members Reviews: Extremely boring and very confusing at the end... This book was too boring to care. The narration was awful. The narrator's womens voices were laughable. Not a realistic story at all, when someone kidnaps Coop's wife he's like "eh" and keeps working?? How stupid. I kept listening hoping it gets better but to no avail. Ugh. Spellbinding! Interesting twists and turn even when you thought you had it figured out. Well written and performed well, easy to listen to and entertaining.

Very good story and the characters were great! The narrators really kept the story interesting from beginning to the end! Good read The book was good. Just seemed on going. After the second book this story should have stopped. Enjoyed it overall. Horrible Narration!!! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I do not believe anyone would want this book because the narration is just that bad. Especially the person that reads for Alex. Would you be willing to try another book from M. T. Pope? Why or why not? Yes, but it has to include a different narrator. Would you be willing to try another one of the narratorss performances? No, not at all.

I imagine in particular if you were around in the times this book is set in, you will absolutely love it.

Standing on the Promises, Book 1 Audiobook by Margaret Blair Young, Darius Aidan Gray

Title: Standing on the Promises, Book 1 Subtitle: One More River to Cross (Revised & Expanded) Author: Margaret Blair Young, Darius Aidan Gray Narrator: Margaret Blair Young Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 02-25-16 Publisher: Zarahemla Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: After this groundbreaking, deeply moving series about black LDS pioneers was first published, modern-day descendants came forward with further information and more detailed history. In this new edition, the authors have corrected some errors and dramatized the experience of additional black pioneers. This book contextualizes the history of the Mormon migration with other events in American and particularly African American history. Few are aware that several black Mormon converts played important parts in the beginnings of Civil Rights issues from 1930 onward. Any listeners who want to broaden their understanding of African American history in the days from the American Revolution until just before the Civil War will find this book unique and full of information unavailable elsewhere. The trilogy of books (this is the first of three) contain exhaustive documentation, but the authors have been careful to rely not only events but on dialogue (as far as possible) to maintain accuracy. Though they have taken fictional leaps where no historical information was available, they have stayed as close to the facts as possible. Members Reviews: A compelling story A great story that gets into the lives of pioneers about whom we hear too little. Very effective storytelling, and a compelling story that deserves much more attention and highlighting. Everyone has heard about Elijah Abel, many have heard about Jane Manning. But through the story we come to know them as human beings and appreciate their lives and struggles. Inspiring and Interesting The recording is not perfect- some poor transitions and a repetition or two. But Margaret Young does an excellent job reading the text. Great stories that I had never heard before; it made me love Jane, but also helped me love Brother Joseph even more.

The Interruption of Everything Audiobook by Terry McMillan

Title: The Interruption of Everything Author: Terry McMillan Narrator: Lynn Whitfield Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-05 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 83 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Marilyn Grimes, wife and mother of three, has made a career of deferring her dreams to build a suburban California home and lifestyle with her husband, Leon. She troubleshoots for her grown kids, cares for her live-in mother-in-law, Arthurine (and elderly poodle, Snuffy), keeps tabs on her girlfriends, Paulette and Bunny, and her own aging mother and foster sister...all the while holding down a part-time job. But at 44, Marilyn's got too much on her plate and nothing to feed her passion. She feels like she's about ready to jump. She's just not sure where. Highly entertaining, deeply human, a page-turner full of heart and soul, The Interruption of Everything is vintage Terry McMillan, and a triumphant testament to the fact that the detour is the path, and living life "by the numbers" never quite adds up. Critic Reviews: "With her trademark ability to write thought-provoking tales inspired by the lives and loves of contemporary African-American women, McMillan offers another novel sure to resonate with readers grappling with the questions Marilyn poses to herself." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Excellent I Listened, and imagined myself there. It's so true to my life, I enjoyed every moment. Hard to get through The storyline was so predictable and boring. I really didn't enjoy the book at all. I was expecting more from Terry McMillan, probably based on her recent experience. I will be a little more relunctant to get another book from this author. Great job by lynn whitfield Good book and great narration by lynn whitfield. The story is soooo true for any married woman and mother who has felt like they were underappreciated. It rang soooo true to my life. Thank God I am not alone, fiction only mirrors real life. Great listen...highly recommend it. Awesome book and I really needed it at this time, Very nice book and right on time for this stage in my life. I really appreciated the story and reality check. Absolutely loved it! Oh my gosh this book was so awesome. For anyone whose been married for a number of years it is truly understandable that sometimes people get lost within marriage. Through one woman's journey this book expresses the work which goes into marriage, motherhood, daughterhood, sisterhood, and much more. Marilyn is strong, vulnerable, uncertain, and still determined to find herself. Her experiences are happy, sad, infuriating, encouraging, daunting, and exhilarating. Yes she live the dubious life many others can relate to but her story of undying spirit lends hope to those who read it. Not to mention TM writes her ass of as usual...she is witty, comical, piercing, and profound. Cudos Ms. T. Mcmillan once again you hit the nail on the head!

But history wont leave him alone. His job in security at the Chicago Hilton places him in the center of the protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention. Worse, a killer works his South Side neighborhood, killing children. The Chicago Police Department doesnt solve crimes in the South Side. Smokey cant ignore the crimes, any more than he can ignore the tension building in the city that hot August. He has to take action, before he loses everything. Chosen as one of the top 10 mystery novels of the year by both Deadly Pleasures and Booklist, Smoke-Filled Rooms fulfills the promise of the award-winning Dangerous Road, and makes Smokey Dalton into one of the mystery fields most memorable detectives. Critic Reviews: "This is mystery fiction at its highest, most gripping level." (Chicago Tribune) "A blistering rendition of the '60s racial wars marks this series as a standout as early as its second entry. You dont need to be a fan of private-eye novels to admire Smokey: You just need a conscience." (Kirkus Reviews) "Nelscott does a superb job of using a familiar historical moment to dramatize an intimate human drama, as Smokey and Jimmy struggle to avoid becoming anonymous casualties lost behind the headlines. This series has all the passion and precision of Walter Mosleys early Easy Rawlins novels, but it is not derivative. In fact, Smokey just may be a more compelling character than the celebrated Easy." (Booklist) Members Reviews: very well done! Wonderful second book. I couldn't stop reading. I like the way it flows from book one and the fact that it was not overly repetitive, like many books in a series. It gives a brutally honest portrayal of social issues in the sixties, while maintaining the humanity of the characters. Great Story but it ended too soon Would you listen to Smoke-Filled Rooms again? Why? Yes, but not until I listen to the other books in the series. I feel that this series when listened to for a second time will provide details that were missed/forgotten the first time through. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? There were many twists to the plot that allowed me to never really trust I knew what was going to happen next. Definitely was not predictable. Which scene was your favorite? Two come to mind, so without giving the plot away. I'll say when he went to Laura, and the second was when he found Brian. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? His succession of emotions and reaction when finding Brian. Any additional comments? I'm really enjoying this series, which should be listened to in order to get full understanding of the relationships between some of the characters. The first book was longer and when this book ended I was surprised. I'm moving on to book 3 and can't wait to get through all of the stories. Smoke Filled Rooms Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I absolutely love this series as it coincides with historical events. The characters are so real. The narrator is not my favorite but the story compensates for this. Can't wait to listen the next book. Great Series The narrator is perfect for this series.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: The scars. She'll never forgive her attacker. Seven years ago, a knife-wielding stranger left socialite Ava Camden for dead on the sidewalk of an upscale Atlanta restaurant. She survived, but her face was brutally scarred. The police, the courts, and the powerful Camden family pinned the assault on only one suspect: Joel Sapphire, a 20-year-old star athlete on the cusp of a pro football career. Too drunk to remember any details, Joel was found over Ava's body, holding the bloody weapon. The letters. His brother is her only hope for the truth. Graham Sapphire grew up fighting on the city's tough southside, and he'll never let the Camdens crush his family. Now a wealthy hotelier, he's determined to clear his brother's name - and to find the monster responsible for Ava's scars. Graham started writing to Ava the day his brother entered prison, asking her to give him a chance and offering his help. She never answered - but she never stopped reading. The secrets. The truth may destroy them both. Now Joel has been paroled, only to vanish before Graham can reach him. Is he lurking in the shadows or on the run from death threats? Ava is the lure that will bring him back, but she's not alone in the fight. Graham will give his life - and even his brother's - to protect her. The bond between them is hot, tender, and almost as dangerous as the hunter who waits in the shadows of the city's darkest streets. Members Reviews: Dang It's not very often I read a book and can't review it immediately. But this one blew me away so far that I'm not sure it's not to soon even now. And part of me doesn't want to review it honestly at all because I'm not used to loving a thing this much. It feels weird to me, and a little suck-upish. But here's the God's honest truth. Take it as you will. Disclaimer: I expected to like this book going in. I know the author casually through Georgia Romance Writers, I've heard her speak about her journey to publication, I like her personality, and I'm aware of her impressive educational credentials. I also knew about some of the book's prevalent themes going in and they are ones I hold dear myself. So I was really looking forward to reading her first published novel and I suspected that I would like it. I did *not* expect characters engrossing enough to defeat Nyquil-and-cold-induced exhaustion. I did *not* expect a story powerful enough to make me lie awake for hours after finishing, my mind consumed with life and the world and the people in it and where I fit in. I did *not* expect prose gorgeous enough to make me regret certain dashed-off passages of my own and recommit to crafting words with care. But that is what I got. I'm not going to summarize the plot. There's a blurb up above for that and it's accurate. I'm just going to tell you what I saw.

Title: Jazz Moon Author: Joe Okonkwo Narrator: Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 05-17-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: On a sweltering summer night in 1925, beauties in beaded dresses mingle with hepcats in dapper suits on the streets of Harlem. The air is thick with reefer smoke, and jazz pours out of speakeasy doorways. Ben Charles and his devoted wife, Angeline, are among the locals crammed into a basement club to hear jazz and drink bootleg liquor. For aspiring poet Ben, the swirling, heady rhythms are a revelation. So is Baby Back Johnston, an ambitious trumpet player who flashes a devilish grin and blasts jazz dynamite from his horn. Ben finds himself drawn to the trumpeter - and to Paris, where Baby Back says everything is happening. In Paris, jazz and champagne flow eternally, and blacks are welcomed as exotic celebrities, especially those from Harlem. It's an easy life that quickly leaves Ben adrift and alone, craving solace through anonymous dalliances in the city's decadent underground scene. From chic Parisian cafes to seedy opium dens, his odyssey will bring new love, trials, and heartache, even as echoes from the past urge him to decide where true fulfillment and inspiration lie. Members Reviews: Great Read with Great Characters and Place. I really enjoyed Jazz Moon. There are not many books about gay black men in Harlem in the 1920's so it was nice to experience the time period through their eyes. The language is nice as is the imagery. There is a good sense of place in this book whether it be Harlem, the South, or Paris. Le jazz hot Ben Charles is a gay black man in the 1920's. He is an aspiring poet who is happy in his marriage of convince until he meets trumpeter Baby Back Johnson. It follows the ups and downs of their relationship and their struggles to find success. Recommend it to everyone. A must read "Perhaps it wasn't that people changed, but that they revealed themselves; that fertile ambitions bloomed and clamored to be harvested." In this story we follow Ben from 1925 to 1928. We see his marriage take shape, and what made them get married in the first place. We see him try to figure out how to deal with âthis thingâ as he calls it, and how it affects every part of his life, and how he tries to do the right thing but ends up not doing so well at. We also get to see him explore different relationships and trying new things. We get to learn about his childhood which was rather depressing because of how his parents ended up treating him due to how much they had lost before and they were afraid to show love to him because of it. This story really started to get interesting to me as his relationship with the trumpeter started to really become a relationship and not just flirting, and how Baby Back showed him the world that he was a part of and that he didnât have to hide what he really was. But Iâm not going to lie, I never fully trusted Baby Back, I didnât figure out why till much later in the book when his true colors started showing. And boy did he become unlikable at that point. But he wasnât the only one at fault in the relationship, Ben made many mistakes as well. They werenât good together, but that relationship helped, Ben embrace who he truly was and to accept it. âWhile a romantic may have embraced the expedience, he distrusted such effortlessness. It was too easy. He had parachuted into every relationship heâd had, without looking, without seeing, without bother to.

But now the only person who can protect her is his enforcer, Eli Hardwick. Good thing this thug cleans up real nice - and is even better when he gets down and dirty. Members Reviews: great book Would you listen to A Gangster and a Gentleman again? Why? yes. this was a great book. both authors wrote awesome stories. What did you like best about this story? in the 1st story, i loved the way she was came out on top after all the pain she went through. in the 2nd story i loved the part at the end. that was awesome. What does Corey Allen and Simi Howe bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? the way they change their voices to show the differences in each character. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes. I love and respect both of the authors these ladies know how to write they can pin a novel that keeps you on your seat it has the right mix of romance Intrigue suspense and murder the story was boring I didn't like it What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Maybe a little more action What could Kiki Swinson and De'Nesha Diamond have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? It was boring I actually fell asleep listening to it I think that if they had a little more action and more Romance it might have been better First book was decent; Second book unfinished What would have made A Gangster and a Gentleman better? Gentleman and Gangsta Book 1-Was full of drama and a decent listen. Although you definitely did not feel any sympathy toward the heroine. Granted when one marries no one wants to prepare for divorce. Her husband prepared for the event of divorce and like so many his wife blindly went along with whatever he put forth. Her lack of self-preservation left her a** out and on trial for murder. As the story unfolded, I kept thinking clearly this is not set in any time after 2000. I cant imagine a woman that is in this situation, in this millennia will not get her own somehow. At any rate, the wife was not held accountable for her actions and is left to look for her gangsta. Book 2- This book was extremely slow and uninteresting. There was no chemistry between the 2 primaries. I struggled to complete this story. Over the course of a week, I stopped and started this book a few times. I may go back to it at some point and try to finish, but only got as far as chapter 8. What do you think your next listen will be? Denesha Diamonds final installment in the Diva series. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Book 1-Simi How is a good narrator and had a good paced book to narrate. Book 2-Corey Allen worked with a story that was simply slow. He's an excellent narrator. What character would you cut from A Gangster and a Gentleman? Book 1-None Book 2-Eli and Blake.

Floyd Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 05-17-07 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: In this gripping tale of redemption, Jacquelin Thomas, Essence best-selling author of Defining Moments, portrays the tragic downward spiral of a Hollywood star whose destructive choices threaten her life, and everything else she once held dear. Members Reviews: It was just okay....too predictable.... Very good story line, but the author is not a very good writer. She repeated herself throughout the whole book. The author went out of her way to make sure her characters were wealthy and most of all, that we knew it. A character couldn't just drive up in a car ~ oh no ~ it had to be a Benz (or whatever, I forgot which car since that was not really important). Poorly written and therefore it made the book not very entertaining. I wouldn't recommend nor read more of her books. Too superficial and PREDICTABLE! Wonderful I really enjoyed this book. I especially like the voice of the narrator. The story line was good. Each scene gave you and emotion and I felt like I was a member of the family. Well written. Not all should read audio I really liked the story line and the book. However the person readng the book made it very hard to listen too. There were way too many pauses and you could hear her swallow, and drink whatever it was she had. I have listened to many audio books and this was the worst read one I have heard. redemption This was a great story!! I was literally hurt by the ending but I understand that God was in the details. Be ready to cry!! A very good book! This book is broken up into two parts. It is a very good read! The main character Marnie shows how, when choices are selfishly made, bad things can happen even to good people. I highly recommend this book to everyone who is looking for redemption or trying to understand redemption. I found myself replaying parts of the book; that's how good it is!

Title: Uncle Tom's Cabin Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe Narrator: Jim Roberts Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-04 Publisher: Jimcin Recordings Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 112 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: "So this is the little lady that made the big war." The authenticity of Lincoln's words have been questioned, but there is no question that the work fueled the passion and prejudices of countless numbers. It is a work of overwhelming power and persuasions which has outlived even the most severe critics. Notwithstanding its contribution to the abolitionist movement, the book offers a balanced treatment; there is admiration for the best of Southern gentility and the villain is a Vermonter. The dilemma posed by this book has yet to be solved. What is it to be "a moral human being"? And how can such a person survive in society? Mrs. Stowe's book is about more than just slavery. ©1989 Jimcin Recordings; Cover Design ©2004 Brian J. Killavey Editorial Reviews: First published serially in an abolitionist periodical in 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, once compiled, went on to become the best-selling novel of the 19th century, considered by many to have served as a vital force behind the anti-slavery movement and the U.S. Civil War. Voice actor Jim Roberts strikes a balance between gravity and colloquialism in his performance of this iconic work, engaging listeners in in the tale of Tom's trials and tribulations when he's sold down the river and Stowe's scathing indictment of the slave trade. Members Reviews: must read if you have already read this book, read it again. If you have'nt, read it twice. This is one of the most captivating books I have ever listened to.The strugles of all the characters this book have touched me deeply. Great book and good reading but.... In my opinion this is a great book and the reader does a very good job but... not everyone agrees with me..so a word to the wise - Listen to the sample. ( Just click on play button below the book cover. ) The sample reading for this book is five minutes long but...the first minute of the sample is read by an unidentified female reading Hariett Beecher Stowe's introduction to the book. The actual narration of the book by Jim Roberts starts right after that and goes for four minutes. If you are thinking of getting this book, I recommend you take the few minutes needed to listen to the sample. If that's not enough to make up your mind, click on the readers name for other samples of his reading. It always amazes me that people will download a book and then take more time than it would have to listen to the sample to write a review about how they hated the narration. It's especially important to do this in books like this ( and there are quite a few ) where reviewers seem to love it or hate it. I happen to love the book and thought the reader was very good but....you may not... So avoid buyer's regret by listening to the sample. Then decide with your own ears and not because of what other think. A true classic, as relevant as ever I purchased this book because I thought it was one I "ought" to read, rather than because I was dying to read it. I wound up thinking it was the best book I had read in perhaps ten years. If you missed this one in school (and you probably did if you're under 50), don't deny yourself the pleasure any longer. Most people have heard how important this book was in galvanizing northern opinion against slavery and southern opinion against the north.

Sweet Bye-Bye Audiobook by Denise Michelle Harris

Title: Sweet Bye-Bye Author: Denise Michelle Harris Narrator: Karen Chilton Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 12-21-06 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Author Denise Michelle Harris is an advertising sales executive and a former Christian preschool teacher. Her writing debut, Sweet Bye-Bye, is a reflection of her personal experiences and values. Critic Reviews: "Good characterizations and a compelling plot make this a fine read." (Booklist) Members Reviews: A Daddy's Girl Gets Real Meet Chantelle Meyers, a twenty something San Franciscan with a great job, a fabulous wardrobe, and a "Boris Kudjo fine" boyfriend. But when Chantelle comes home to find her father on the floor, stricken with a heart attack, she prays to God for her father's life and promises Him that if He'll let her daddy live, she'll start "livin right." Next thing she knows, her father is revived and Chantelle sets out to keep her promise to God. The next 200+ pages cover six months in the life of Chantelle as she revisits old family wounds, cleans house in relationships she's been in for too long, and reevaluates who she is and what she wants out of life. Sweet Bye Bye is geared to twenty something females who are going through this time in their lives, and Christian women in this age group will find this book particularly entertaining. It's definitely Christian chick lit, because a focus on God and trying to live life according to God's principles is what separates this book from typical chick lit novels. But Chantelle is no Sunday school teacher. She wrestles with her flesh, her ambitions in the workplace, materialism, and all the struggles that abound in the post-modern world. She's no goody two shoes; she's just another sister trying to live right and find that balance between living in the world and living God's way. You can polish this book off in a day or a weekend of concerted reading. For what the book is-Christian chick lit-it definitely delivers. It also has a fairy tale ending and the dialogue is sometimes a bit wooden and unrealistic, but once again the story is good for what it is. I recommend this book for the young Christian woman struggling to live in the world with Godly integrity and without compromise. Highly Disappointed This is what I received Good one I really like how the relationship between the step-mother and the step-daughter developed. Growth Sweet Bye Bye is a touching story about a young woman's spiritual growth and the transformation brought about by near tragedy. good read It was slow to start for me, or should I say slow to keep my attention. But when it picked up the pace, it was a good read.

Neat Audiobook by Charlayne Woodard

Title: Neat Author: Charlayne Woodard Narrator: Charlayne Woodard Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-12-01 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: In Neat, writer/performer Charlayne Woodard shares her memories of growing up black in America in the '60s and '70s. The play focuses around the life of Woodard's Aunt Beneatha, Neat, who was mistakenly fed camphor oil as a baby, resulting in permanent brain damage. Alternating between Neat's home in Savannah, GA and Albany, NY, where Woodard was raised, stories of family and of time spent with Neat are weaved together with touching results. (P)2000 L.A. Theatre Works Editorial Reviews: Charlayne Woodard's full-length stage monologue of her youthful impressions of her retarded aunt Beneatha, who seems to have perished young when she tried to fly off a precipice, begins at an amazing pitch of energy, which she more amazingly sustains throughout. She enthralls the listener - as writer and performer - with consummate theatricality, expertly orchestrating tensions, rhythms, humor, and pathos. She manages to make experiences peculiar to middle-class African-American Baby Boomers seem familiar to Americans of other backgrounds. The overall excellence of this production almost completely obscures its flaws: a manipulative, sentimental script and a performance that almost tries too hard. Members Reviews: A Must Read Neat is one of the best audible books I have listened to in years. Charlayne does an absolutely fantastic job of reading her own book. I have not laughed out loud so much when reading/listening to a book in forever. I am a member of a book club and I have the month of February (African American History month). I am the only African American in my book club and always choose February to add a little flava...to the line up. This will indeed be our February selection. I will encourage them to listen to it rather than read the book. Good on you Charlayne. I am downloading another of yours immediatley. Moving me to tears, suprise ending. Would you listen to Neat again? Why? Yes I would. In order to make sure I have not missed anything. It was a moving story for me. What was one of the most memorable moments of Neat? The end of the story was suprising. Which character as performed by Charlayne Woodard was your favorite? Neat Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Neat had the baby. A must listen for lovers of theater Am absolutely phenomenal story and a stunning performance!!! I would highly recommend this audiobook to any lover of theater. Awesome!!! I wish it was longer I enjoyed it soooooo much!!!! I 'm so glad the shortness of the book did not keep from listening to this great book, no regrets!! Nana In order to relate to Charlayne you would have to walk in her shoes. People that are blindsided to this way of life will enjoy this book. Its an eye opener.

As a single mother and inspiring artist she always managed to get by. It wasn't until she "accidentally" fell in love with a charming and romantic "ATLien" by the name of Ace did she feel that her luck was changing. Things take a fast forward in their relationship and seemed to never come to an end, until one night Ace's past meets them in a dark alley in the mean Atlanta streets. Sage knows there is no going back from here as she finds that you never really know a person until it's too late. As her mind and heart battle it out, she's determined to keep her fairytale love story from turning into a nightmare. But what happens when Ace leaves her and she is forced to face the truth alone? She doesn't have it all put together yet, but even after he is gone his past comes back to haunt her, demanding that she pay off his debts. Ace's mother Lillian seems to be keeping his secrets airtight as well, but reassures Sage she has nothing to fret about. Entangled in a web of love, lies, and deceit, Sage can only put her trust into her best friend Shelly. Will love conquer all for Sage or will she drown in the lies of her King? Members Reviews: The Lyin' King, Book 1 All I can say is wow! I really enjoyed this book, but I do wish that Sage would have found out a lot more about Arson in the end. I would recommended this book to others. The end It was an okay read I guess This book wasn't bad but it could've been better. The title doesn't really fit what the book is really about. The book is already very short yet the author choose to end it with a cliffhanger. This book seems rushed. The authors needs to get this book and try again. Don't change to much just elaborate on most of it. The narrator was good though.

Every couple months they hire a "live-in," a girl who, in exchange for room, board, and a paycheck, provides sex on demand. Danielle and Stewart met each other at a swingers' club eight years ago. They fell in love and married, soon becoming regulars at Puss and Boots. JuJu and Ferrari are the epitome of opposites attract. She's fifty, he's thirty. She is wild and outgoing, he's reserved and laid-back. They've been going to Puss and Boots since the club opened. Tori and Kevin always talked about experimenting with threesomes and group sex but never made time to act on their thoughts and wishes. Well, it's Kevin's thirtieth birthday, and what better gift than a surprise visit to Puss and Boots? Swing is the story of the treacherous and steamy collisions in the lives of these four couples. Roped with sultry scandals and lustful lies, this novella will propel listeners to their highest highs and drop them to their lowest lows. Members Reviews: Surprisingly Impressed I enjoyed this novella by Miasha called Swing. The story was about 3 couples who were all linked by a swingers club. What started out as fun in sexual indulgence took drastic turns for each seemingly happy home. In the end the moral of the story is sex creates and destroys depending on how you partake in it. Because of my appetite as a reader for closure I wanted more yet this novella gave just enough to curb hunger pains. It's steamy and a well written thought out sexcapade without being over the top in raunchy smut. I'd definitely suggest this as a good read for those who ever thought about threesomes, orgies or swinger life as a way to spice up passion behind closed doors. Be careful no skeletons are lurking in closet suitcases! (pun intended) The book was just OK What would have made Swing better? I would have gone into detail a bit more for the ending What was most disappointing about Miashas story? The ending was not at all what I was looking for What didnt you like about Cary Hites performance? Generally I like him, I do not think he was the right guy for this book What character would you cut from Swing? None Any additional comments? I ending was a big let down Juicy... The book kept me wanting to hear what happened next. It took me into a world I don't know anything about and I kept wondering I this lifestyle really exist. I didn't comnect with the narration 100%. But he did ok.

Members Reviews: Not Good What disappointed you about The Eleventh Commandment? Not interesting. Jumps all over the place. Just not good. Awful story lines filled with sex scenes that do not enhance the book. Would you ever listen to anything by Lutishia Lovely again? Maybe. I have enjoyed other work from her. What three words best describe Simi Howes performance? Narration was fine. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Narrator was ok, the story just wasn't good. DID NOT LIKE Would you try another book from Lutishia Lovely and/or Simi Howe? NOT LIKELY What was most disappointing about Lutishia Lovelys story? The story was too over the top for me. Some story lines went too far. What didnt you like about Simi Howes performance? The narrator was fine What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? disappointment Any additional comments? Some parts of the book was un- comfortable for me. But she does state at the beginning that some people may not agree with her but this is her version. Great Book! I really enjoy the Hallelujah series and The Eleventh Commandment is a great addition. Sy & Hope are truely "real" Christians, especially Hope...that sistah is grounded in the Lord because I am not sure if I have enough faith & hope to accept what she did. Sy is a wonderful man & husband. Freita? what can I say...I am glad that she is finally growing up and hopefully she will have her hearts desire in the coming books. Stacey...a woman after my own heart! I was plesently elated to read how she handled Tony. Glad that Lutishia didn't "paint" in the traditional weak way that women are portrayed when faced with circumstances as hers; many women fight back when pushed in a corner. Hopefully, Tony can get it together. Bo?...a mother?I would love to see that "come to past". I can't wait for the next installment of this series!

I like that the plot keeps you guessing with multiple stories intersecting. You know clues are important but not always sure which case it belongs to. I'm very glad I decided to listen to this series and looking forward to book 4. Continues to be great I have listed to all the books up to this point and just downloaded the next. The character are richly drawn and you get a true feel of what it was like to be black in the late 1960s. smokey dalton, the main character is a complicated man who lives and helps people in a way that show complicated man who helps people both inside and outside the law.

HoneyB is a very good author and the book story line was good, just not performed well.. What didnt you like about Rebecca Vaughns performance? Nothing!!!! If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Rich Girls' Club? Not sure barely finished the book!!!! Any additional comments? Great Book!!! Bad Narrator!!!!! May be better to buy hardback because she ruined this one for me!!!!

But envy for her boss' glamorous lifestyle turns into a downward spiral that could end up costing her more than just her job. Members Reviews: Full of suspense! I couldn't decide whether to dislike or pity the main character, which shows how talented the author is with character development. I understood the character's motivations and felt like I was inside her head ... but I'm not foolish enough to get in such a twisted mess! Very nice production and narrator. Highly recommended! Quite the appropriate title! I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book! The main character evolves and during her evolution, the listener is able to identify with her, even when her behavior is unacceptable and against her core values. All of the characters have issues that are apparent to everyone but to those who matter most. The author does it again, bringing her characters to life. The narrator does a great job and the listener finds that she or he cannot put this audio book down after listening to just one chapter! Kept my attention This book definitely had me enthralled. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good juicy story. Very good listen Would you consider the audio edition of In Sheep's Clothing to be better than the print version? I've never heard a audio that's better than print. I'm a reader but choose audio due to the type of work I do doing the day. Once I'm home in the evening I read only. What did you like best about this story? I love that Trudy finally saw that Ann's life wasn't perfect. That everyone lives in a glass house at least once in their life. Have you listened to any of Susan Spains other performances before? How does this one compare? My first listen by Susan Spain. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, indeed. I have read every Mary Monroe book and now I will listen to every Mary Monroe book. Provocative! Wow! I am a fan of Mary Monroe and she did not let me down with this one. Trudy is a true character of what happens when so many awful events befall your life and you do not know how to handle them. Wonderful read! I wanted to hear more!

Night Work Audiobook by Nelson George

Title: Night Work Author: Nelson George Narrator: Marc Damon Johnson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Nelson George is a best-selling author and twotime National Book Critics Circle Award nominee. A work of nightlife noir, Night Work uncovers the scandalous sexual exploits of a gigolo in New York City. Ebony-skinned and sexy smooth, Night gets by in the big city by servicing the deepest, darkest needs of rich white women. But hes getting tired of that life. If only he could find someone to buy into his dream of becoming an R&B singer. But just when it seems like that might actually happen, Night gets caught up in a risky drug dealing operation. Members Reviews: SENSITIVE AND OFFENDED Wow, this is the worst book that I have read in a long time. This book (because you cannot call it a novel) is trashy and so annoying. Mr. George is a wonderful music critic but sir, this fiction writing is not your cup of tea. Please no more attempts at this . I would run if I ever saw another work of this caliber from you. This book just rambles on and jerks worst than a roller-coaster. You could have seriously used a very good Editor and still you would be in trouble because this book is just all over the place. "Knight", like so many brothas who might feel like their gold lies between their legs are so lost. My headline will explain how I truly feel. More Than Night Work Night Work by Nelson George gives us a glimpse into the life of Neal Daniel Taylor, a young man who feels "childhood is the root of evil," and that his "family died along with his Ma." At the age of sixteen, Neal overcomes one of his "demons" by self-acceptance. He begins to love himself and his color, being very dark skinned, he begins to call himself "Night." Night is a male prostitute who aspires to be the next big R&B recording artist; he wants to hear his voice in more than background music. In Night Work, you will meet Night's family: Nikki, his younger and sickly sister, who he views as his `opposite', and "Pops," his father, a former activist now postman. Night describes his father as a "difficult man." They have an estranged relationship, if they have one at all. Hopefully in his efforts to overcome all obstacles and lead a `better' life, the family will come to terms with each other. Nikki desires to see what's left of their family come together. There are some surprise twists and turns of events. Unfortunately a couple of the events land Night down in the police station. Detective Tyrone Williams would like nothing more than to see Night behind bars, especially after Night's female pimp, Raffaella, fingers him as the man she sent to the home of a now DEAD client. Now, along with everything else, Night is the number one suspect in a MURDER case, which definitely won't be good for his business. Night's dubbed as a "Black American Gigolo," in the headlines. D of D's Security, Night's friend who has saved his life more than once, can hopefully do it again. There is a history hinted at here between D and the Detective. D refers to Detective Williams as "Fly Ty". The tension between them is almost palpable BUT once Night asks the `million dollar question' D replies, "That's a long story, Night. We don't have enough daylight left to tell it and I wouldn't talk about it after dark. You feel me?" Well, neither Night nor I understand what that meant.

Stone Cribs Audiobook by Kris Nelscott

Title: Stone Cribs Subtitle: Smokey Dalton, Book 4 Author: Kris Nelscott Narrator: Mirron Willis Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 65 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: After attending a charity fundraiser, private investigator Smokey Dalton and his powerful girlfriend discover a critically injured woman in his neighbors apartment, and his neighbor missing. Smokey gets the woman to a nearby hospital which proves to be a mistake: the doctor won't treat the dying woman until she tells him what happened to her. Smokey works to save the woman and find his neighbor, but everything he does makes the situation worse. Smokey has entered a secret part of America - the arcane rules of a hospital trying to follow the law as well as save lives. None of it makes sense, and all of it threatens everything Smokey believes in. Critic Reviews: "With Stone Cribs, her fourth Smokey Dalton mystery, Kris Nelscott can lay claim to the strongest series of detective novels now being written by an American author." (Salon.com) "Without the slightest hint of preaching, Nelscott brilliantly illuminates the ugliness of that era - which defines Smokeys world but does not destroy him. Because of Nelscotts strong hand, it also does not overwhelm the drama of this remarkable story." (Publishers Weekly) "Like the best of Ross Macdonalds Lew Archer stories, Kris Nelscotts Smokey Dalton novels are infused with an understanding of the social, political, and moral complexities of the community in which theyre set. Her characters not only struggle with the contradictions that rule them but are in perpetual conflict with their surroundings. Thus, brutality is no surprise, but then neither is an act of kindness. The most dilapidated building may house a gentle soul or a rabid criminal, and so too may a luxurious home. This type of subtlety treats readers with a level of respect that makes for a rich, rewarding experience, and so it is with Stone Cribs, Nelscotts exceptional new novel." (The Boston Globe) Members Reviews: Great reading Great continuing story, great narrator, can't stop listening. I continue to buy the next book with aspiration but dread reaching the end of the series. Then what will I do? THE BEST IN THE SERIES TO DATE Any additional comments? This is cultural historical fiction as well as mystery thriller. (Normally thrillers are too stressful, and a couple of times I've had to take a break, even to stretching out time between purchases, but this particular story seemed sterling for me.) A favorite combination is a good writer whose characters and lives grow on you and through the series. I'm amazed at Kris Nelscott, the name one of several noms des plumes. If she is the face of modern feminism, I am particularly impressed. She can make the hatred, crime, despair and destruction seem so alive, but leave you almost inspired by how the characters handle their challenges. She has created a virtuous man, Smoky Dalton aka Bill Grimshaw, who lives by his own intuition, and is tough enough to make survival, moral decisions in a very limited, dangerous milieu, which is Chicago in the 60's where blackness had splintered into not only the extreme disadvantaged poor, the criminal poor, the middle and slowly burgeoning professional class, but also the Panthers, and two other militant street groups. (This story seems so coherent and tightly woven, I stayed glued longer than usual.) It opens dramatically with a cousin of his beautiful neighbor, barely heard behind a locked door, calling for help.

Title: Dynasty 2 Subtitle: Mafia Fiction Series, Book 2 Author: Dutch Narrator: Caujuan Akim Mayo Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 12-09-14 Publisher: DC Bookdiva Publications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: The saga continues!!! Members Reviews: The Saga Continues The Bells and the Simmons families are back, but with a vengeance this time. This sequel to the soap opera series Dynasty has picked up right where the first book left off, with brother against brother and mother against mother in order to gain control of the Simmons drug empire. Those who you least expect are behind the shooting of Guy Simmons and their reasoning will more than likely surprise you. Without providing any spoilers, I will say that there is power in the D, and these women will go to any lengths for it. I enjoyed reading all the drama and anxiously anticipate what the last installment will provide. A Page Turner! It's getting good now. There's a lot going on. You can see the family traits with Ty and Vee although they're not really blood (or are they?) Lol They are both treacherous and I don't know which one I love to hate more. I'm feeling more of a connection between them than with Kev and Ty. This book has it all, crime, drama, deception. I am loving the series. The Hotness Continues I love stories that involve families, inter familial controversy, and surprises at every turn; this second installment doesn't disappoint. The only flaw is there is no recap of the previous events. This boom literally starts right where Dutch Dynasty ended. Having said that: you must read these books in order,and stay apprised of the complex relationships. Although it will all make sense as you enjoy this latest book, I found myself referring back to book one in order to make sense of intricate moves Debra, Gloria, and Guy make in book two! I simply can't wait to read the next book! Do yourself a favor and buy them all, I promise you won't be disappointed!! I'm Demanding an Ending in Part 3 Oh how I wish Gloria or Guy could've been the ones to deal with Debra. I was hoping for a face-off between Deb & Glo. Deb was the mastermind behind this entire ordeal, her punishment should've been given by the hands of one of the main characters!!! HELLO!!!! Now we wait for part 3... SMH. Please let it end in part 3, don't ruin a good story by dragging it all the way out to no where. Love the story, but honestly, it could've ended in just a few more pages or a few less pages. We love the characters too, but time to put it to rest; add them to another story if you just can't get enough of thinking about them. Overall, I enjoyed it, but was disappointed that, I couldn't get an ending. *Recommended. Dynasty Very great read. I always like Dutch story's. Can't put them down read the others by him. You will not be disappointed.

Members Reviews: underdeveloped heist tale I listened to the audible version of this book. This tale didn't hold my attention after the first hour. I put it down and went on to something else. A few months late, I picked it up and finished it today. And the last 45 minutes or so were the best part of the book. I think it was just simply underdeveloped in all areas. The summary was good and I had high hopes for the book. It just didn't live up to what was suggested in the summary.

CC's whole life had been one horror after another. She'd finally escaped her evil husband and felt safe and almost happy and well hidden with her fake identity on the other side of the country. But, when Jerome spots her in the middle of New York City, she has only one thought: run! This time she doesn't get far: She's back in his clutches, and scared for her life. There's only one hope - the alpha billionaire that just made arrangements to have her as his "special companion" for the next year. CC was right to have hope because, even as her evil husband prepares to do his worst, the alpha billionaire is pulling out all the stops to get her back. Because no one steals from Boyd Stanley. No one! This is a dark love story in an urban setting. Members Reviews: Finally BWWM romance in audible. fair read. I read this book and I wanted to throw coin to the audible version. I am sick and tired of hunting for stories about woman of color (dark skin) within ANY audible version. They are few & far.. So, this story is ok. some action.. Maybe in the future there will me lengthy (hours) audible book stories with people of color..With ACTION and some sex.. hee hee V is for Victory and Viola It was a short book but full of action and twists and turns. Boyd and Viola ended up being a match but I thought sure he would have ruined Ms Kathy since Viola had not signed a contract and it was a case of mistaken identity. Not a very good story line Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would not recommend this book to a friend because it's poorly written. I was not happy also with the story line nor the narrator. Has Rescued by the Billionaire turned you off from other books in this genre? I'm not entirely turned off by these kind of stories. But I didn't like the women for sale as though they were slaves. What do you think the narrator could have done better? The narrator could have enunciated better. Do you think Rescued by the Billionaire needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? There's no need for a follow-up book to this. SAVED BY LOVE What made the experience of listening to Rescued by the Billionaire the most enjoyable? HE REALLY DID RESCUE HER HIMSELF Would you recommend Rescued by the Billionaire to your friends? Why or why not? YES BECAUSE IT IS A LIGHT LOVE STORY Have you listened to any of Katt Kampbells other performances before? How does this one compare? YES, VERY GOOD If you could rename Rescued by the Billionaire, what would you call it? LOVE IN PROGRESS Any additional comments? I ENJOYED THE BOOK VERY MUCH

Young, beautiful and a successful attorney, Joy is any man's dream, but since her life became a nightmare after her father divorced her mother, she wants nothing to do with the heartache that love can bring. Lance Bryant isn't fooled by Joy's cold hearted exterior. He knew she was the one for him at first sight, and would stop at nothing to help her find her way back to love. But even the charismatic Lance Bryant is no match for the pain that has been inflicted on her heart. Joy will need a spiritual intervention that only God can bring if she is ever to truly open her heart and mind to the possibility of love for a lifetime. The Marshall family discovers that although weeping may endure for a night, Joy Comes in the Morning, so you might as well go on and praise Him anyhow. Members Reviews: Good Carry Over This was a good followup to Tears Fall at Night. I liked it but thought it was a waste of a chapter to repeat the entire 1st chapter. Good storyline and look forward to the rest of the books in this series. great listen to loved the story great author definitely will be getting the series in hard copy worth it Joy Yes after listening to this book my joy most definitely returned.

Why or why not? Yes What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The most interesting aspect of this story is when the blended family had to be in the press box together. The least interesting part is Joy's anger towards her dad, even when her mother had forgiven Joy's father. Did Lisagaye Tomlinson do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? Yes, although I did not care for her voice I definitely could tell the difference in the characters. Was Joy Comes in the Morning worth the listening time? Yes, and I was so glad when Joy let go of her anger.

Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 04-14-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Carla married Pete after her former fiancé, Wayne - Pete's best friend since childhood - cheated on her. Lately, she's begun meeting Wayne as a friend, but she's also been gauging her smoldering attraction to him. Then Pete lays a shocking secret on Carla and asks for her forgiveness: he's been unfaithful. Carla wants to even the score, but with whom will she stray? With Pete's explicit consent, she meets Wayne in a hotel room for a night of runaway passion that soon changes everything. Members Reviews: Good, but unbelievably twisted Although this is an interesting story, it got far too complicated to be believable. I'm married, but I'll be damned if I let my spouse make demands like this spouse did ... and I'm not sure I could respect him if he "let" me. I would hope that no one in their right mind would be foolish enough to play the life-altering games that unfolded in this book. I thought I was buying fiction, not a cheap soap opera! BORING...AND RIDICULOUS It was all I could do to get to the end of the first part of the book. The more I listened, the more ridiculous it became. Pete's request of Wayne....???? This story, while well told, was boring, far fetched and just plain ridiculous. Where's the love, faith, and trust? You either forgive or you don't. My suggestion is to wait for more reviews before purchasing. The five reviews that were there for me were all good. Yes, this is a work of fiction, but nothing near anything I can relate to or refer to in real life. I would not recommend this book. Good Listen! This was a good story and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I hated to put it down although I must admit I was a bit disappointed with the ending. But I'll allow the other listeners to judge that for themselves. Overall, a great read!! Crazy This book had my head spinning in all direction. A prime example of the same way you get them is how you lose them. Excellent The story is great but a little unrealistic. alot of twists and turns and your always on edge. Would reccomend to anyone.

The sexy surprise occupant of her bed turned out to be Blade, step-brother of her roommate and an Army Special Ops soldier intent on making a fresh start. Makayla soon discovered Blade was irresistibly sexy and a man hiding big secrets.... Warning: This is a steamy romance between a young black woman and a gorgeous Army Special Operations soldier. May contain explicit scenes too passionate and hot for some listeners to handle. Members Reviews: Good story but the ex pissed me off! I love the story...but the ex girlfriend really pissed me off! OMG! I really wanted her to get beat up or something. I love when Makalya finds Blade in her bed.... naked... so cute... and she is all hypnotized! And Blade... what a name... Then when they have smex! Burke can really write a smex scene... But that ex girlfriend... OMG! Then when the little boy comes into the picture I was so sad for Makalya... This story had so much angst! The best scene is when Blade finds Makalya in HIS BED! WHAT! (OMG!) BEST SCENCE EVER! Laramie did an awesome job as usually. Great buy...because it is so cheap... Don't waste credit...just buy... well worth it... Not bad for a short story Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? If you need a quick listen, this is a good audiobook. It condensed the story well. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I would like to listen to the story on the long version. What about Pepper Laramies performance did you like? The narrator did a great job! Do you think Captivated by the Soldier needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? I would be interesting to see how the characters evolved, since the story was so short. Thank you Now this is the type of story I expect from Dez. Love the plot and the characters. Not bad... First time reading/listening to a book by this author. The story was OK for me. In the beginning I was a bit bored with the story, but it got better as I listened to more. The narration was OK for me, I wasn't too crazy about her male voices. With that being said, I would give both author and narrator another listen. The sex was pretty good. Short story not bad but wanted more Short story not bad but wanted more. Performance was ok Somethings were a bit cliche. Ha! But what do you expect from a quick Lit fix?

Title: The Gravediggers Ball Subtitle: The Coletti Novels, Book 2 Author: Solomon Jones Narrator: Cary Hite Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. and Buck 50 Productions, LLC Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: The next thrilling novel in the Colletti series from acclaimed author Solomon Jones. Just weeks after tracking down a killer known as the Angel of Death, Detective Mike Coletti stands at Mary Smithsons grave, mourning the woman whose betrayal nearly cost him his life. Hes joined there by Marys beautiful half sister, Lenore. Moments later, a gunshot splits the air, placing Coletti on a collision course with the Gravedigger, a killer hellbent on deciphering the secret of life and death. As bodies drop and tensions mount, clues are plucked from the victims, and one thing is abundantly clearLenore is the killers ultimate target. But to stop the Gravedigger, Coletti and his partners must go beyond protecting Lenore. They must go to the one place where life and death routinely meet. They must go back to the grave. Members Reviews: Nicely Drawn Characters Make for a Worthwhile Read This book starts off with a "bang" and picks up momentum. By the time it's over you stop and ask yourself, "did all that really happen in one day?" Indeed. The good thing about this book is that there are interesting characters and for a while, you're invested in their well being. Unfortunately, the ending is not fulfilling. The book jumps the shark, and a great set-up ends disappointingly. Disappointing What would have made The Gravediggers Ball better? More character development and slower pacing. The story unfolded quickly which was fine, but it felt rushed, like there was more that could have been revealed but was omitted. Without giving away too much, the love story conflict and its resolution weren't satisfactory. In fact, the love story elements could have been omitted in favor of additional information about the antagonist. After reading The Last Confession, I was anxious to read another book by this author. Unfortunately, this book just didn't measure up to the first one. Has The Gravediggers Ball turned you off from other books in this genre? No, in fact, I like the way Mr Jones writes. I was just disappointed with this book. How could the performance have been better? The reading was choppy and off-putting. I struggled to finish listening. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Gravediggers Ball? The love story elements and descriptions of Sandy Jackson. Unless the status of her appearance (hair, make-up, clothing) is germane to the action, it only served to stop the flow of the story

I WAS WONDERING WHAT WOULD COMEOF JERMAIN AFTER LEAVING PRODIGY IN ATLANTA AND TRAVELING BACK TO PHILLY, THIS NOVEL WAS EXCELLENT, AGAIN I FOUND MYSELF TRAVELING THRU EACH AND EVERY EMOTION. TRAVIS HUNTER IS A WONDERFUL NOVELIST. I CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN TO MY NEXT BOOK. A good listen I really enjoyed trouble man. I wish it was longer. I hesrd the end and was so disappointed because I wanted more. I hope there's a follow-up. Too predictable....boring! !! I knew what was going to happen since the 5th chapter. Too predictable!! The narrator was the best thing about this book. I almost fell asleep several times. WONDERFUL INSPIRING STORY I really enjoyed the story, characters and narrator. Family is important and being able to change for the better is so inspiring. Sometimes the characters seem so real. This is definitely one worth listening to. Great Book I love a good book that showcases the power of choices. It was great to see Jermaine turn the corner from what could have ruined his life to making good choices and stepping up to be a great roll model for his son. It is a great lesson that life can change based on 1 good or bad decision. I had absolutely no simpathy for his father and was happy to see him get what he deserved. I would definately listen to more of this authors book and recommend this book to others.

Watching her child turn into a bizarre stranger, Keri searches for assistance through normal channels. She quickly learns that a 72 hour hold is the only help you can get when an adult child starts to spiral out of control. After three days, Trina can sign herself out of any program. Fed up with the bureaucracy of the mental health community and determined to save her daughter by any means necessary, Keri signs on for an illegal intervention. The Program is a group of radicals who eschew the psychiatric system and model themselves after the Underground Railroad. When Keri puts her daughter's fate in their hands, she begins a journey that has her calling on the spirit of Harriet Tubman for courage. In the upheaval that follows, she is forced to confront a past that refuses to stay buried, even as she battles to secure a future for her child. Bebe Moore Campbell's moving story is for anyone who has ever faced insurmountable obstacles and prayed for a happy ending, only to discover she'd have to reach deep within herself to fight for it. Critic Reviews: "Powerful....Moore Campbell is terrific at describing the different emotional gradations produced by each new circle of hell." (Publishers Weekly) "Campbell is masterful at evoking black Los Angeles and creating strong characters. She bravely confronts a taboo issue in the black community, presenting the anguishing issues of mental illness from the perspective of a resilient and determined mother." (Booklist) Members Reviews: The ups and downs of mental illness This story placed me beside Carrie Whitmore on her emotional roller coaster ride. I don't have any personal experience loving or mothering a person with mental illness (yet) but this was reminiscent enough of living through any child's teenage/young adult years. I rated 4 instead of 5 because the narrator's pitch got annoying from time to time, and the writing is more telling then describing which I prefer. 72 Hour Hold The book was ok. I am glad that I listened to the book instead of actually reading. Very slow start and a little drawn out. nope What would have made 72 Hour Hold better? ????????????????????? Would you ever listen to anything by Bebe Moore Campbell again? No No no no no no no no no How did the narrator detract from the book? Annoying voice What character would you cut from 72 Hour Hold? Orlando Any additional comments? No no no no no no no no no no no no

Avery Lyons returns to the Big Apple after two decades away and learns she has inherited a chunk of property on Central Park North. Her cousin would like to buy the land, and Avery is willing to selluntil a reporter uncovers the truth behind the dealings. Critic Reviews: The team of DeBerry and Grant sure knows how to give readers a vibrant family story, a real gem that encompasses betrayals, secret lives, and forgiveness. (Booklist) Members Reviews: Slow Start but enjoyed the book overall! If you could sum up Uptown in three words, what would they be? Good not Great! What did you like best about this story? Some of the history was good about NY (Harlem, Manhattan, central park,etc.) and NJ. The storyline was good overall! Which scene was your favorite? All of the scenes with Avery's friend Alicia. Would love to have a friend like her. Also loved the part where Dwight thinks he is back in control and can speak out and fix the situation with the young boy and the cabinet incident, walks intentionally into the reporters and they bring up his relationship with his prostitute - Mistress Delilah! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes when Avery goes to see Dwight near the end to let him know how she feels and that she was letting go of the past and moving on! Any additional comments? Even though it starts slow, I think it is a good book and I have given all of their other books 5 stars, this one did not quite meet up to the high standards that I think have been established by these two authors. The action was quite a bit slower. Still think a pretty good book for a book club discussion. There is a lot of variations but some slow and dull. Need more extreme variety instead of routine.

She is one of a kind. (Mary Monroe, New York Times best-selling author) Members Reviews: Forever Soul Ties Author: Vanessa Davis Griggs Published By: Dafina Age Recommended: Adult Recommended by: Arlena Dean Rating: 5 Review: "Forever Soul Ties" by Vanessa Davis Griggs was another good VSG read for me. I really enjoyed this novel for several reasons. One was for the 'Bible quotes and mini-sermons' along with the beautiful story that only Ms. Griggs can give us. In this novel there is a old flame love interest.... now was this leading to a adulterous relationship?...the mistreatment of the wife for over twenty years..... and the many family problems that came about in this story. Now, getting back to this 'Soul Ties' was really something in that this Ethan's character was really something...and I am so glad the way Ms. Griggs brought this novel out to us. I do not want to say to much and give the story away...just pick this up and see just how "Forever Soul Ties" and this 'Butterfly' will turn out. This novel will leave you being able to see how 'soul ties' can be a good or a bad thing but the decision will be all yours. I love Ms. Griggs books and this one was right up there with all of the others... great! You will truly be blessed by reading "Forever Soul Ties." and I do recommend it to you. very good I love everything that I have read by Vanessa Davis Griggs especially blessed Trinity series Marry couples should read This is the fourteen book by Vanessa Davis Griggs that I have read. It is one of the many books, the bible being number one, that should be in married couples must read list.. Enjoy. Awful... What would have made Forever Soul Ties better? I was bored from the beginning. Dont use your credits or money for this book. Would you ever listen to anything by Vanessa Davis Griggs again? Not sure How could the performance have been better? Narrator voice was boring.

(The magazine "for people who want everything!") She's at the top of her game, ruling the roost in business as well as the bedroom. Having discovered "the power of three" (not tying herself down to just one guy), Zola surrounds herself with a coterie of men: her best male friend, the gay Hayden; her Monday night man, Jabar; and the married Bling Bling owner and media mogul Davis Vincent McClinton, a man who chases power at all costs. Still, Zola dreams of finding true love. Raymond Tyler, Jr., a favorite and classic Harris character, has suffered a personal loss and picks up and moves to New York to re-build his life. As CEO of Bling Bling, Raymond struggles to enjoy his newfound success in business as he searches for love and meaning in his personal life. John Basil Henderson returns with a new lady in his life, and Raymond and Basil renew a friendship that is fraught with sexual tension. As Raymond examines his life and strains to move forward, tragedy strikes, and Raymond faces his biggest challenge ever. As Zola and Raymond search for a love of their own, several characters from the past make cameo appearances and round out another E. Lynn Harris classic tale. A Love of My Own is filled with all the marvelous ingredients the author's fans the globe over have come to love. Sit back and get ready as E. Lynn Harris takes you on another satisfying and rip-roaring ride. Critic Reviews: "An entertaining confection....True to form, Harris keeps the sex, scandal and drama churning." (People) "A tangled web of love, lust, deception and intrigue." (Ebony) "A more serious effort than Harris's previous works, this book is loaded with sensational goings-on and characters, both old and new, who will keep readers returning for more of the same." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: E. Lynn Harris is NO Raymond Winston Tyler Jr. !!! What disappointed you about A Love of My Own? I hate to speak ill of the dearly departed but Mirron Willis should have performed this novel. E. Lynn Harris' tone was quite bland. He left me yearning for Mirron Willis, who in my opinion, is the real Raymond Tyler. If youve listened to books by E. Lynn Harris before, how does this one compare? Performance was lacking expression. E. Lynn Harris never lets you down! A quick, easy and typically enjoyable E.Lynn Harris write. I am so hoping we haven't heard the last of Raymond and Basil. I never was crazy about Yancey B so I hope she and her Mom have been laid to rest. Crazy people!! Zola and Hayden were fun as were some of the other characters introduced. You know you are into a book when you feel like hugging (Raymond), slapping (Davis), kissing (Basil) or hugging (Hayden) someone! On to Just To Good to be True and then Basketball Jones!!

( Black Issues Book Review) Members Reviews: Good Listen! I enjoyed the book from beginning to end, I found myself looking forward to listening to this audio whenever I had a chance, so I give this book a big thumbs up!! Good Book I really liked this book. I think I took it a little too serious because I found myself talking to the characters like they could really here me...lol and my Husband really thinks i'm crazy. This was a pretty good read I did expect a lil bit more from this book but it was a decent book. The narrator was very good and the characters in the book were well developed and their issues were addressed. I did begin to think in the beginning how all the characters were connected but in the end the connections came together. The character that ranaway in the beginning of the book did lose me and that character could have been left out of the story because she really didnt have a reason to be in the book. All together this book was decent. limited annoying,delusional and sad female characters, and the dimwitted male athletes who lust for them. superficial story told with no character development, slow plot movement. but with plenty of "wtf" moments. passages were repeated almost verbatim. not a good listen for me. I COULDVE HAD A V8.. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? DISAPPOINTING INDEED This story just didn't seem developed enough. It had some grimy mellow drama but that's it.

He was so good for her and in helping her and being there for her. I was mad cause I thought her cousin Carmen was dead. I was like oh heck no. And Melon head was wrong for killing his own brother best friend. Like dang you definitely a psychopath. And paranoid. Also, I was glad that Mario found out that Yoshi was on the run. Because lying to him wasn't right. I think if she would've told him. He would've stayed. I gotta hurry to read 1 and 3 so I can know what happened in the beginning and what will happen to her in the end. After she goes to Florida. good book i recommend Great book i loved it :).

The wedding between Angela Gabriel and Brent Underwood promises to be the Birmingham event of the year - and aspiring event planner Melissa Anderson has been working feverishly to make it happen. During this hectic time, she even agrees to go out on a date with a most unlikely prospect: Marcus Peeples. When it came to Marcus, it definitely wasn't love at first sight. But after a lovely evening together of Bible study at Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, Melissa has a change of heart. She learns that Marcus is divorced, a fact she can't reconcile with scripture even though she knows he's a good man and father. But when Marcus's diva ex-wife decides she wants him back, Melissa soon discovers love, divorce, and faith have quite a bit in common. Critic Reviews: "This is a romance for readers who like their books enhanced with religious teachings." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Just OK This book is very "WORDY". There was a lot of information that could have been left out. It was hard getting through this one. Love Conquers All in the Family Beautiful Narration. The ending was as it should be. The Chrisitan life is to be lived by the proper interpretation in light of God's Word. Marcus backed up his arguments regarding divorce with the appropriate scriptures. It made me examine my personal views about divorce. Many have the same ideas and beliefs about divorce as Melissa did. Marcus serves as a good model for a father toward a child when there's a divorce.Other family and individual matters with resolutions are included. Recommend reading (or listening). Awesome read! i truly enjoyed the story line and loved the character of Marcus and what he brought to the story! could not put it down this book was magnificent it was so intriguing and a lot to learn I actually learned a lot this book is a true blessing thank you so much for the storyline WONDERFUL STORY!!! Would you listen to Practicing What You Preach again? Why? WITHOUT A DOUBT. I ENJOYED EVERYTHING ABOUTH THIS BOOK, LOVED MARCUS AND MELISSA THEY WERE SO CUTE TOGETHER. Who was your favorite character and why? MELISSA, SHE WAS RELATABLE. What about Shari Peeles performance did you like? LOVE SHARI PEELE SHE ALWAYS BRINGS LIFE TO HER RECORDINGS. Who was the most memorable character of Practicing What You Preach and why? MELISSA, JUST LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. Any additional comments? GREAT READ, WOULD RECOMMEND TO ALL.

The Legend of Buddy Bush Audiobook by Shelia P. Moses

Moses Narrator: Cherise Booth Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-05 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Pattie Mae adores and admires Uncle Buddy; he's tall and handsome and he doesn't believe in the country stuff most people believe in, like ghosts and stepping off the sidewalk to let white folks pass. He unsettles the dust and brings fresh ideas to Rehobeth Road. But when Buddy's deliberate inattention to the protocol of 1947 North Carolina lands him in jail for a crime against a white woman that he didn't commit, Pattie Mae and her family are suddenly set to journeying on the long, hard road that leads from loss and rage to forgiveness and pride. Shelia P. Moses tells a moving and lyrical story in The Legend of Buddy Bush that introduces the remarkable and memorable character of Pattie Mae Sheals, a girl whose sense of humor, ability to get into "grown folks business", and determination to know the truth will endear her to readers everywhere. Members Reviews: EASY READING This was great interpretation of the old south. Engaging WONDERFUL STORYTELLING It thrills me to read stories from an area within miles of my ancestral hometown - to get a flavor of the times. Woven into the story are places and lifestyles relayed to me by own kinfolk. From the pen of Moses I've often railed, in my various Amazon.com reviews, against simplistic children's books. For thousands of adults, children's books (to them) are meant to be straightforward tales of good and evil. The good guys are always good. The bad guys are very bad. And this is especially true for poorly written books that deal with race and racism in America. So it was with great trepidation that I picked up, "The Legend of Buddy Bush". Sure, it had won the coveted Coretta Scott King Award. Sure, it also garnered itself a hard-to-get National Book Award Honor. But I've read plenty of award winners that left a sour taste in my mouth. The fact that this was author Shelia P. Moses' first children's book was not encouraging. Most first time authors make all the usual mistakes. Fortunately for us, Ms. Moses is not most authors. There are a lot of things in this world that Pattie Mae likes. She likes eating her grandma's plump strawberries straight from the garden when no one's looking. She likes sitting and talking with her grandfather for long periods of time. She likes getting letters from her elder sister in Harlem and dreaming of the day she can leave this poor North Carolina town. And she loves her Uncle Buddy. Buddy's not strictly related to her per say, but he's always been a part of her family, especially since he returned from living in New York City. Now Pattie Mae's grandpa is sick with a brain tumor and the girl really feels she deserves a nice trip into town with Buddy to watch a picture show. But when Buddy refuses to move off the pavement when a white woman passes him, the woman makes a big show of claiming that Buddy tried to make a pass at/rape her. Now Buddy's in the violent hands of the law and it's all Pattie Mae can do to see the two most important men in her life, her grandpa and her uncle, slip away from her for entirely different reasons. The book bears a great deal of similarity to Mildred Taylor's chronicles of the Logan family. As with Taylor's books, the family in "The Legend of Buddy Bush" are black land holders. Also, they must deal with their white prejudiced neighbors at every turn.

Whether he would place judgement on her like the inmates of Hampton Roads Regional Jail, or feel sorry for her like her so called friend Crystal...Both of those thoughts were a chance Tanisha wasn't willing to take. Therefore it was only right of her to lie. Now that Tanisha finally found love...That deep desire which fuels her soul...Something her heart been yearning for her entire life...You will see there are no limitations to her madness and exactly how far she's willing to go to cover up her lies in the name of love! Members Reviews: I should sue the author for wasting 3 hours I'm not sure how this made it to paper. poorly written and utterly ridiculous! This is one of the worst books I've read. it should have ended with the 1st book. the author should be embarrassed to say he/she wrote it and as terrible as the narrator was she shouldn't have even read it! The Worst Book I've Ever read!! You can't possibly be serious. The first book was actually decent which is why I didn't hesitate to purchase this one. I am dumbfounded that this even made it to stores.

Anne is inspired by her feeling that the world is changing. But as time goes by, she learns a hard lesson: changing the world can sometimes be easier than changing the people you love most. As she did with The Flip Side of Sin, McMillan touches on the complex fabric that makes up an extended family. Narrator Caroline Clay provides a strong, confident voice for the determined Anne. Members Reviews: As good as her sister with a different flair. I really enjoyed this audio once the momentum got going.Can't wait to hear more from her. Even though this was a long book (like I like it)I still wanted more. Slow moving but steady listening This audio book was a slow moving but steady listening treat. The author took time to build on the main characters, and then engaged the listener on a ride through the trials and tribulations experienced by those characters. However, at some point, the villain's character seemed unrealistic. The narrator was acceptable and kept the reader engaged. Recommend this audio book. Applause! Applause! Applause! Incredible story and performance! Miss Rosalyn is an outstanding story teller. There was intrigue, suspense, drama and history, I commend the writer.

Find out in this drama-filled tale of love, lies, and deceit. Members Reviews: Drama, drama, drama Good story but the chapters were drawn out. The same scene continued into the next chapter or two. Mo was too smart to be so dumb & naive, it was pissing me off how she went back to him. No amount of love can make me stay with a man that has had 2 children on me & he pulled a gun on her multiple times. Blunt is unstable as hell! Just killing everybody, I was disappointed that Rocco was killed. I wanted to see where him & Mo's relationship was headed. His disrespectful son, omg I never wanted to slap somebody so bad & he thought it was cute. SOOOOO GOOD.......... OMG, SO GONE was SOOOOOOOO GOOD. I was TOTALLY ENTERTAINED, from START to FINISH. DRAMA, DRAMA, and MORE DRAMA FILLED the PAGES of this PAGE-TURNER. BLUNT was TRIFLING, CRAZY, and OBSESSED. MOLAYSIA was an EDUCATED HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, but CONTINUOUSLY PLAYED the FOOL in her PERSONAL LIFE. I LITERALLY SCREAMED, with ALL SHE PUT UP WITH. An EXPLOSIVE ENDING, that has me ANTICIPATING the RELEASE of pt.2. As ALWAYS, JENNIFER LUCKETT DID HER THING. SO GONE is SOOOOOOOOO RECOMMENDED............. Blunt oh blunt I wish Rosco got to him before blunt did. Can't believe he killed so much people with any hard feelings even for his kids mother's... I hope he be stop before Devin follow his footsteps that's any other Lil boy that need his butt whip a 1000xs....meka is a good girl but I won't be putting up with his bs or his disrespectful child Great This was my first read by this author and let me just say it WASN'T A DISAPPOINTMENT. It's amazing how gone we can be over people. So lost on love that all the signs are available we just choose to ignore them. Blunt was always dangerous, but Mo's love for him kept her blinded to his evil ways. Can't wait to read part 2. So gone Great book and real life things that happen to people. Mo should've left blunt a long time ago with all his baby mamas and drama. I wanted her with Rocco,glad her cuz had her back. Blunt done went over the deep end can't wait to see what happens next

Colin, Dexter, Ibn, and Michael have been inseparable since college. Besides sharing similar interests, they have someone very important in common - Erika. Erika is the little sister of a friend who died, and theyve promised to watch out for her. But when Erika grows up into a very attractive woman, it proves increasingly difficult for the guys to ignore their changing feelings for her. Narrator Ezra Knight gives the listener a front row seat as the groups dynamic is disturbed by Erikas new relationship and each friend is forced to re-evaluate the way he treats the women in his life. Critic Reviews: "Major, unlike many of his fellow writers, is careful to pepper his melodrama with thoughtful discussions of serious contemporary social issues such as unwanted pregnancies and parental responsibility, making his points without excessive preaching." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: 4 guys and drama ! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? yes i would it was surprisingly good. I would recommend it because it had drama, love, and laughing moments. What was one of the most memorable moments of 4 Guys and Trouble? when mike finally realized he was in love with erica Which character as performed by Ezra Knight was your favorite? I don't know i love his voice ! If you could rename 4 Guys and Trouble, what would you call it? i'm not sure Great Book As usual it's a joy to listen to Ezra Knight. The relationship the friends had with one another is special. Thou they really needed to allow Erika to grow up. Ibn is a riot by himself. I would give this four stars. 4 Guys and trouble I was disappointed with the book. The characters were not very believable. I am not African American; I really hope that this is not a realistic portrayal of professional/affluent African Americans.

At 35, Destiny Day is at the top of her game. Having escaped her hardscrabble beginnings in the small Midwestern town she calls "East Boogie, Illinois," she is the savviest sister walking around in a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. As New York's premiere party promoter, she has glitz, riches, and steers clear of any man who threatens to cramp her style.

Destiny's personal life takes a backseat to her career, but she's got two best friends and a string of men to keep her satisfied. However, when she meets Taye Crawford, an independent financial advisor, at one of her own fantastic parties, Destiny finds herself moving in a direction she never anticipated. ©2006 Lyah Beth Leflore; (P)2006 Recorded Books Members Reviews: What a surprise I thought I would hate this book. Between the title and the first few words from the main character, I thought it would be a torturous 8 hour read about a whorish party girl. I'm so glad I was proven wrong. I got to know the characters, their motivations, and along the way I learned to care about what happened to them ... and even root for them! There was a twist in every turn of the plot line (which was woven together quite masterfully, I must say). There hasn't been a book in the African-American fiction genre on Audible.com that I've enjoyed so much. I'm hoping for a sequel, or at least another novel by the author! 468207 Loved it, loved it loved it! The narrator did her thing. It sounded like she'd read this book even if she wasn't getting paid to do so. Her manner was engaging and hightened the enjoyment of an already enjoyable storyline. In my past experiences with audible books, my main drawback has always been the narrator, but after this experience, I actually think I'll look for her name when selecting my next "listen" It was an ok read I really wanted to like this book. I didn't like anything about it until about the end when Destiny had her "come to Jesus" moment. Not for me I am sure this is a great book for a different reader, but it was not the book for me. I just never got into it, plus the sex scenes are too graphic for my taste. I would not recommend it to my friends. Must Have The Time It took me some time to get into this book. It it took me three week to listen to the entire book. It was slow in the begining. But the twist to this book was once I got though the beigining the middle picked up and then at the very end I could not put it down. I was a simple book and sometimes hard to follow, but I would recommend it for listening.

Title: Trifling, Book 1 Author: Jennifer Luckett Narrator: LaShone Garth Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 08-19-13 Publisher: Jennifer Luckett Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Being the woman of a caked up hustler isn't always sweet, but Sparkle keeps her game face on. She resides in a nice home with her fiance' Sayveon, and infamous well known drug dealer. He has everything on lock from his hometown of Jackson, Mississippi to South Florida. Because of Sayveon's drug empire and lifestyle, Sparkle finds herself constantly being included in dramatic situations with his random chicks. He's one of the most wanted men in the Dirty South by the ladies. Sayveon forces Sparkle to believe that if she's his 'ride or die' chick that he needs on his team, everything will end in her favor. However unknown to Sayveon, Sparkle falls in love with someone from her past. As the many women compete with Sparkle for Sayveon's love and affection - a trifling event develops. Will Sparkle choose loyalty or happiness? When it comes to a drug-lord everyone wants to become "wifey." But when the relationship is continuously tested, only the strong survive. In a dark world full of hatred, betrayal, and absolute chaos the question at hand is - are you able to play your role and withstand the drama from the streets? Members Reviews: Let the cat out of the bag! I am so excited to be introduced to this author and I will definitely be a supporter for this one. This book had my mind reeling and trying to define what a true ride or die chick is. Sparkle is the main chic in this book who is trying to know her place when it comes to her man. The things she goes through and puts up with from her man Sayveon are only things that a woman who really loves a man would do. I think what I like most was that Mississippi was the setting in this book and because I know that things like this really happen in the Sip my interest was peaked. Sayveon also gets a reality check that opens the door to his relationship with his folks while growing up. I enjoyed listening to the story unfold and seeing the path each character will take. I am ready for the next book to see what will happen to each characters life and how life experiences may or may not change them. this was a good book with a good narrator that will hold your attention. please don't This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? This book is Trifling indeed and the narrator was REALLLYYY bad. What could Jennifer Luckett have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? There was way too much going on. This didn't even have an interesting turn of events.. Typical scenarios that do not tie together or stand alone. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of LaShone Garth? Anyone who doesn't have to yell to sound more like a character. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? NO

Title: In the Midst of It All Author: Tiffany Warren Narrator: Rachel Leslie Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: National best-selling author Tiffany L. Warren has garnered popular acclaim for her tales of hope and inspiration. For many years, 17-year-old Zenovia has had to care for her schizophrenic mother Audrey. Thats why she is pleased - at first - when the Brethren of the Sacrifice show up at her door, offering to help her. After she and Audrey join their congregation, Zenovia begins to fear for her mothers safety when the brethren encourage Audrey to stop taking her medication. Members Reviews: Only GOD can judge us! I enjoyed this book because it helped me understand the mind of people who are in cults or organized religion that find ways to control the people who follow them. Sometimes I would find myself saying why can't these brotheren folks just think for themselves or I would find myself like Z saying who do they think they are to be able to judge anybody. One religion that I would like to compare the brotheren to would be the Church of Latter Day Saints and this is not trying to be offensive to any LDS followers. I lived in Logan Utah throughout my college career (USU representing the c/o 2005) and the main religion in Utah are the "Mormons" to me it seemed as if they were so worried about what other people thought of them. Mormons/Brotheren are/were good people with great morals but if you can't live your life without worrying about what others think or how they will judge you what are you truly trying to grasp from the religion? These type of religions feel as if they have the right to condemn you if you make a mistake. Does it really matter what other people say? That's a question for all and your answer is what it is. The narrator did a great job with this selection and I liked the overall message of the book because it made me think about religion and my own beliefs. I believe in prophetic gifts because I am a dreamer myself and my dreams have come to past quite a few times or are messages to people I know. I thought the characters were well defined and brought to life by the narrator and I would refer this book to anyone who wants to find an interesting read about religion.

Title: The Game Dont Change Author: Mazaradi Fox Narrator: Cary Hite Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-16 Publisher: Buck 50 Productions Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: The posthumous novel from legendary Queens rapper Mazaradi Fox, a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit crew. Mazaradi Fox wrote this novel in 2013 during his incarceration at the Orleans Correctional Facility. The Game Don't Change opens with DeMarco Jones' escape from a juvenile detention facility. Successfully evading the law, DeMarco builds his reputation on the streets of Queens as a fearless and charismatic drug hustler. Though he is only 16, women of all ages can't get enough of him. But DeMarco soon finds that he must battle ferociously to maintain his new kingpin status. Members Reviews: This book is a must have! u must have a great imagination to enjoy The day I received this book it changed my life, I have been waiting for it to hit the shelves, and was honored to know I was able to pre order via Amazon. This is the type of book that you have to open your mind to its entirety, relax and have a sort if a vivid mind. I purchased 2 just in case I wanted to read it twice. Four Stars Great book! Really filled me in on what his life was like. Three Stars Love it Five Stars Great Book The Game Don't Change Oh, what to say about this book. It's so far off from anything I've read before and it centers on a life so far from my own that itâs difficult for me to write this review. This, of course, doesn't make the book bad, but I have to say that it's definitely gritty and real, and at times, it was rough to get through. DeMarco Jones lives a thug's life (publisher's description, not mine), and considering this book was written by now deceased rapper Mazaradi Fox, I'm certain that there's a great deal of truth and reality to it. Be prepared for the language and sexual situations, because this book is filled to the brim with both. If you're easily offended by strong language and explicit sexual situations you probably won't want to read this book. If youâre offended by blatant sexist attitudes, youâll have a difficult time with it. In fact, Iâm surprised thereâs no âlanguage and sexual situationsâ warning in the book info. Okay, here's where I get preachy, or sentimental, or whatever, but it pains me read about so many of America's youth flushing their lives away with nothing but crime and drugs. I do get it though, life in our nationâs urban areas are harsh and difficult. Far too many kids realize early on that the only way to get by is to fall in with the lifestyle. I refuse to be one of those reviewers who gives a book a poor review simply because I didnât like the subject matter. The writing is good and the characters are real. It caused me to read on, even past the rough stuff, so thatâs good enough for me. Even if you just want to read it as a sort of cautionary tale, thereâs a lot here to go on. I have no doubt that thereâs a willing audience whoâll find this a fascinating glimpse into the âNYC thug lifeâ. Thanks to LibraryThing.com for choosing me to receive a free copy!

Floyd Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-04 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 129 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Kennedy has finally found just what she's been looking for, a successful, loving man to spend the rest of her life with. But when she suspects him of cheating, she turns to the father of her baby for comfort. Older sister Simone decides to let her boyfriend move in, only to find that she's pregnant. Unfortunately, she also discovers that her man is mentally and physically abusive. But brother Derrick is carrying the heaviest secret of all, avoiding relationships, afraid to expose the reason behind his coldness. Although they each appear to be content, the three siblings are about to confront dark truths that will bring them closer than ever before. The Jacobs' emotional exploits combined with an intense narration by Patricia R. Floyd will have listeners on the edge of their seats. Members Reviews: Disappointing This could have been a great story, but sadly it was a little to unrealistic, especially the ending. The reader, was articulate and clear,but the sound quality was terrible. You can hear the reader swallowing and noises that sounded like chewing. I've listened to 16 audiobook from this site and I have not encountered that problem with the others. Great listen if you can block out the swallowing! This was a wonderful book with twists and turns that caused your emotions to go on a rollercoaster ride. The only complaint I have is as another reviewer has written ... once you get past the reader and her swallowing, it is a very enjoyable listen. Unfortunately, the swallowing sounds continue from beginning to end so you will have to brace yourself if this is something that makes your flesh crawl! So.. an enjoyable but uncomfortable listen. No Way, Hun The portrayal of these black girls angered me. These girls are everything a black writer should not make her girls: loud, obnoxious, obsessed about the fact that they are black, dirty-mouthed, promiscuous, and uncaring mothers. This is the nightmare stereotype that people have fought so hard to throw away. The things these girls do are petty, self-serving, and just plain stupid sometimes. I couldn't finish the book. The Bad Reader This book may be good however the reader is terrible. She sounds as if she is eating while reading. I was unable to listen past the first 3 chapters. Unexpected The ending of the book cought me total off guard I was not expecting the surprise. I kept me listening with anticipation.

And the narrator was simply great! Add this to your Audible wish list! the narrator "made" the book I enjoyed the book very much, but I think the narrator was perfect for it. Each character had their own voice, and the inflections were so good that I could easily picture the person speaking. I would highly recommend this one. graceful try Thought this book was fun and interesting but suddenly fell short at the end when things were beginning to evolve. Perhaps there will be a sequel or "the rest of the story."

His rise was fast and he enjoyed all the luxuries of his hustle, including the fly chick on his arm. But his reign is short lived. Now he is in prison on a bogus murder conviction and everything he had is gone, including his woman. Beautiful and ambitious Lieutenant Nicole Wright is the fantasy of every convict at Georgia State Prison where she works. The furthest thought from her mind is falling in love with a convict. She is married to a successful doctor, and though their marriage is absent of passion, Nicole is content until she meets Prince. A hot, fascinating, but dangerous relationship kicks off threatening to explode at every turn. Will Nicole be able to ride for Prince like he needs her to? Will his bitterness engulf her into its flames? Will loving a thug cost Nicole to lose everything, including her life? The answers lie within as she and Prince embark on a journey that is truly A Dirty South Love. Members Reviews: Good Read - Interestingly Different The characters are different from what Im accustomed. A guard and an inmate go figure, I guess it happens. This is a really good story and the twist and turns keep you on edge. A lot happens in this short period. I like to purchase books that are a minimum 8-10 hours. I was skeptical how much excitement and intensity would evolve in the short time. This Author team didnt disappoint, it is chocked full of dramatics. Not my first book by this author. Good stuff, good stuff. Betrayal, love, got yo back loyalty, un-expectants Yeah! Get this one, great beach read. Dirty Indeed I realized how much I love the author Jennifer Luckett her stories are so captivating and keep your mind going and you don't want to stop. What I loved about this audio was the performance the narrator was dabombdotcom. My favorite person in the book was Mr. Sam the nosey neighbor because he was the true definition of a horny old man. This story had many twists and turns where you never knew what was to happen next. Prince and Nicole's relationship and how they came to be together was a wonderful part of this story. It was different because they were loyal to one another from beginning to the end. One thing you will learn throughout this book is that loyalty means nothing in the streets and money talks. This book helped me realize that people do the craziest things and really no one knows nobody. Renegade was dirty oh so dirty and to the people who get in to this story will understand what I mean, all I can say is he took Dirty to a whole other level. Great story!

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: SHE SURE WAS!!! This was a pretty good read!!! Although I would have loved to see a different outcome, for her to have gotten over the "Younger Man". A Sequel Will Be Coming From This... I wanted future purchasers of this book to know that this will have a follow up. There were so many things left hanging out there. I must admit, for all the time I put in listening to the book, it should have wrapped up some of the issues that the character was going through. I gave it 2 stars only because I don't know how it's going to turn out as of yet. The struggle is real! This book was a struggle to listen to from start to chapter 15. I don't think I can even finish it. I didn't even become semi interested in the story until chapter 10 but wanted to give it a try. Please Tell me there will be a Part Two Where does In Love with a Younger Man rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? not the best and not the worst What did you like best about this story? i love a good love story What about Nikki Amsterdams performance did you like? really heartfelt and suited the story well Any additional comments?

Title: Negus Subtitle: A Compilation of African-American Science Fiction, Volume 1 Author: Bien-Aime Wenda Narrator: Sean Slater Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 11-13-17 Publisher: Bien-Aime Indie Books Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Negus: A Compilation of African-American Science Fiction short stories and flash fiction will satisfy conspiracy theorists, sci-fi lovers, and urban fiction fans. Whether you're obsessed with aliens, astronomy, pineal gland decalcification, crystals, or life before birth and after death, Negus hits a home run with out-of-this-world content that'll leave you in deep thought about life and this planet we call home. Members Reviews: Urban Science Fiction This book is awesome. Its a blend of science fiction and urban fiction. There is also a sense of awakening in these stories. The conscious audience will admire this work of art like I did. Thanks again Wenda for the entertaining work of art. Great read! This book is definitely for the conscious! I can tell that lot of research and thought went into writing this. Great read! Part sci-fi, part ? Interesting blend of sci-fi/fantasy in first part. I have no real idea why the second part was included. Tre stars at best. Brava! Ms. Wenda has a real gift for dialog! The collection starts very strongly, and maintains the high quality, with one slight dip (another read through will undoubtedly fix the errors in one of the middle tales). I'm neither an urban fiction nor a science fiction reader, in general, but I got into the stories here because they had a deeper purpose--to comment on humanity, and the possibly calamitous direction in which we're heading. (I'll note that Ms. Wenda switches to a less urban vibe depending on the characters). A lot of care is taken with sensory details, the true sign of a skilled writer. The pictures, which are great, are few, but it doesn't matter since our imaginations are stimulated by her descriptions. To sum up, the author is asking us to think, but not in a preachy way. My four star rating is just because of the story that needs further editing. Otherwise, I say, brava! Urban Sci-fi at it's best!!! This was my first urban sci-fi book to read but won't be the last. I really enjoyed this collection of paranormal writings. They reminded me of why I love sci-fi movies like Avatar and Star Wars. For this to be a first genre read for me, I'm very impressed. Biggest upset: editing. Grammar and spelling was slightly off throughout novel. While I know the editing process is tedious and most authors think their keen eyes catches every mistake, readers alike are being turned off with this repetition of non edited books. This should've been 5 stars but I can't overlook the obvious mistakes that need correction. I also would like to a see a different cover, one with more illustrations and color. The cover provided was pretty bland. I also would love total character illustration pictures in their Negus state. The illustrations included needed to be more vivid to depict story. I loved to visually imagine being on Negus and going through the birth canal over and over. I'm impressed by the inclusion of the recent attempt to start a race war and mistreatment by other races. I can't thank you enough for making MELANINS the name of an entire species. That sounds so much better than 'blacks' & 'African Americans'. That's how I'll describe myself and my race from this point forward. I didn't have any negatives except that the book needs an editor or proofreader oversight. I can't wait for the next book so I know how this ends.

Unfortunately, when she meets Genesis Kane, things don't go quite as she'd planned. Genesis is an attorney with a reputation for being a "piranha in pinstripes" both in and out of the courtroom. With Novie's mother bugging her to help the family or disappear and her father on a mission to keep reaping land, cars, and more side chicks no matter the cost, Novie is feeling pressured. She makes the decision to dive into even crazier waters, aka the piranha's bed. When Novie gets pregnant, she discovers too late that Genesis is not the man she thought he was. With nowhere to go but back home to the spoiled and petty mother she despises, the last thing she expects from her well-off ex is his blatant refusal to claim or take care of his child. As her list of "nevers" all but disappears right along with her career plans, she makes one vow: Genesis Kane will pay. Members Reviews: Weird. Boring and not worth it!! I did not like anything about this far fetched story. I actually fell asleep the last hour. The story is all over the place with unbelievable plots and twists. Not only is the story boring but the narrators are so monotone and mundane. Definitely not going on the favorites list. What just happened!! This storyline jumps all over the place. The storyline is easy to follow in the beginning. Towards the middle of the storyline, it seems you made have skip over a chapter because the main character is all of a sudden in this relationship, that isn't explained well , which makes the story seem rushed at this point. The last couple chapters. I was just lost. The plot of the storyline was good,but the books wasn't well written. Don't waste your money or credit on this book. I'm a faithful listen for this genre books .Take heave don't waste your time on this book!! Ms. Kela Refund! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR CREDIT ON THIS ONE. STORY LINE WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. terrible I never understood story line or plot from beginning to end. Then it was over left me staking my head

Landing a job as an adjunct professor, she begins rebuilding her life and her relationship with God. And then she meets the university's basketball coach, who's everything she wants in a man - except for a defect only God can change. ©2009 Michele Andrea Bowen; (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Critic Reviews: "[A] feel-good story full of humor and hope." (Library Journal) "Bowen's newest release in the black Christian fiction genre revisits characters from earlier novels while it offers an entertaining mix of humor, morality, and steamy relationships as well as an intimate portrayal of academic politicking and college sports." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Bold beginning after that..it's ok at best i paid for it so i finished but otherwise it is a dust collector! sorry..:( a security guard at a strip club preaching the gospel!! really!!! Big Snoozer The author gave way too much detail on little things that was not important through out the story instead of focusing on a dialogue. I fell asleep a couple of times listening to this book as well as skipping ahead. Not worth the buy Great Book! Would you consider the audio edition of Up at the College to be better than the print version? I really enjoyed the print and the audio edition. Audio editions are great during long commutes or waiting for my daughter in my car. If you could take any character from Up at the College out to dinner, who would it be and why? I would love to take Yvonne Fountain out to dinner. I admire her faith in God and ability to forgive her ex-hubbie. Forgivenessis always followed by a blessing. Don't buy this one! This book was awful! COULD NOT GET THRU IT I could not really follow this book very well. could not really follow the charcters. The book started with her getting divorced from her husband and moving frm the house with the kids. I thought the book woul focus more on her marriage with Darryl and how the kids adjusted to being without a father and how God helped her make it thru.

I forgot I was listening to anything. on and on The themes were good but the stories just went on and on. Also, the stories were a straight line. No exciting part that made your heart race. A Great Listen Overall Very good fiction selections. Stories dragged a bit in the beginning but overcame slow start to be well worth the listen. Good stories, great narration, mouth-watering men! Enjoyed all three stories. I didn't care for the beginning of "Suddenly" but liked the chemistry between Christine and D. Maxwell in the end. Loved the quasi bad boy Trevor in "Sincerely". I'm a big Sandra Kitt fan and these stories satiated my thirst for romantic fiction.

With The Other Brother, he presents a thriller of terrifying proportions. Members Reviews: I liked it I can't understand why he came at Gabriel instead of coming at his father I mean he's father was the one who messed with his mama. Smh jealousy is a mother I tell you. But this was a good book I listen to it on audible but I do prefer reading a book because I can understand it better. Dude who is the narrator made it funny though. Lol but the ending part where he made dude leave was dumb like what man gone let another man make them leave while with there women smh what a loser. But what was funny was when he told the girl that he rather do push-ups then mess with her again that's so wrong . I can tell I don't like Isaiah but he's hilarious. But what weird is Gabriel and Isaiah having dreams and visions etc about each other . Only thing I don't understand is to me it feels like this story is missing something. It was good though. And the ending where they found out they were twins were a shocker to me. And even though Isaiah made me sick it sucked that he died. Then Gabe had twins. Lol like wow but I don't know why I thought Isaiah was gone pop up somewhere lol. But I understand why Isiah felt that way because he assume his father didn't want him I think it'll been better if they told them they were twins to begin with. I also thought it was predictable... It's an ok book but it never answered the question about Isaiah's life and death experience, it didn't change him only made him worse. I also don't condone this book essentially saying you can do bad things, not repent and still end up in heaven? I grudgingly recommend this audiobook. Awesome This book was extremely good!!!!!!! I could barely work while trying to listen to this book. I would have loved for it to last a little longer, but it's a must read. The BEST out there! I have over 200 audiobooks in my account right now and I must say that this is one of my top favorite of them all! The story-line kept me listening and overall, this book was excellent! I would not change one thing.... Excellent and bravo to MASSEY! It was just okay. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes. I love Kevin Free and Brandon Massey. This book was good. It just started a little slow. Once you get into the story, it becomes really interesting. Was The Other Brother worth the listening time? It was worth the time.

It was hard to imagine any voice other than her own bringing life to her prose, but Robin Miles sealed the deal and then some! Each character comes alive through her exquisite diction, innovative accents and instinctive intonation. I thoroughly enjoyed this production. captivating story This was a captivating story in the eyes of Josephine Evans. The narrator's accents, tone brought to life the characters. Pearl Cleage and Robin Miles--What a great mix! Pearl Cleage, one of my favorite authors, has done it again with "Seen it All, Done the Rest." Her characters are real, three-dimensional, and believable, and Robin Miles' narration is engaging, varied, and best of all, the characters are easily distinguishable. The mix between these two women's amazing talents makes you care about the author's characters, and want to hear more of their voices personified by the narrator. KO Cleage leaves you so full and empowered at the same time...new voice; I like. Refreshing This book comes alive with great women working together. Well done,.

Essence best-selling author Gwynne Forster writes thought-provoking tales of love and personal growth. Critic Reviews: "The characters' earnestness will appeal to readers looking for a light pick-me-up." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: I did not want this book to end... This was one of my favorite books I've downloaded so far. It was a very easy listen and just a great story. The narrator had a very pleasant sounding voice and she did fabulously when changing from one person to another. Believable! I wish that the author would write a sequel. In a nutshell, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Simple nice story with ups and downs in the lives of the characters. I may listen to it again, which is something I rarely do. Plenty of Suspense The story held my interest and offered enough suspense to be a "page turner" ...The central character is very likable and I cared what happened to her. Who her father turned out to be was a good surprise... Interesting story. WONDERFUL I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Like the other review, I listed to this book while at work and there were times it was so good that I became distracted. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone. The narrator definitely helped because she changed her voice for each character and you could really hear the emotion in her voice. WONDERFUL!! GREAT This book was absolutely wonderful. I loved it. I could not put it down. Most of the books I've listened to are at work so it could pass the the day while I am working. After listening to it from work, I would go home and re-listen to certain parts. I writer made me feel as if I was sitting right there on the sceen. I guess you can add some credit to the reader of this book, they added character and dept to the book as you listened. I would strong recommend this book. Dance with the Devil This book was very entertaining and so l like reality. Everyday life is so full of hidden stories and this story probably exist somewhere on this earth. Great when your traveling in your car on a long trip. My rating of 5 stars because the book allowed you to share with someone and relate to being back in the country.

Title: Dusk and Shiver Subtitle: Remy Pigeon Stories Author: Annie Bellet Narrator: Dan Boice Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-13 Publisher: Doomed Muse Press/AnneMarie Buhl Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Three paranormal mystery short stories featuring Creole gentleman Remy Pigeon. Remy has a gift, or a curse. He touches objects and reads the past from them. Sometimes this lets him solve mysteries, but mostly it gets him neck deep in paranormal problems. "Til Human Voices Wake Us" Bodies of men start turning up in the bayou and the sheriff turns to Remy to solve the who, why, and how. But when his gift uncovers more mystery and more bodies, Remy might have to choose between justice and saving his own skin. "Dusk and Shiver" The last thing Remy expects on a quiet day at home is an axe-bearing zombie breaking through his front door. Worse, she's a former client of his, and the mother of a newborn baby. To solve the mystery of her un-death, Remy must venture out into the post-hurricane wreckage of his town, find the baby, and stop a murderous voodun sorcerer. It's one hell of a day off. "Flashover" Remy prefers to stay away from trouble, but when an attractive red-head with a serious problem and a supernatural secret wanders into his house on a hot summer day, Remy knows that trouble has just found him. Members Reviews: I liked this story "Til Human Voices Wake Us" A shortstory about a man that learn an object or persons history by touch. Remy Pigeon is summoned by the police to give feedback on a drowning, but he soon learns its more it, and it goes from policework to personal. A short, fast read, although I felt it was missing something 4/5 "Dusk and Shiver" Set in New Orleans after Kathrina, Remy gets attacked by a zombie, one he has a relationship to. Within just an hour or two he witness murder and death as he tries to save a baby. Well written and interesting, this story held me from the start 5/5 "Flashover" 3 weird fires, 2 dead women. Sally show up at Remy's door, claiming to have started the fires, but we soon learn there is a lot more to this woman that meets the eye, and to the fires. I liked this story, but felt it was missing a bit of detectivework. Still a fast and fun read 4/5 So I really do enjoy books by Annie Bellet. They are rather short, so they are fast reads. Because of this they are straight to the point and keeps my attention all the way out. This collection is based around the character Remy Pigeon, and he's a private detective of sorts with the power to tell something - or someones - history from just touching it/them. As I said above, a fun and fast read, mostly well written. Loved it! I throughly enjoyed the character and his unique world. Can't wait for more of Remy Pigeon! Five Stars I luv this character and these short stories are well wrote and entertaining. Four Stars Good Read Terse but evocative Masterful short stories, enough characterization and descriptive prose to draw you into the world of Remy Pigeon, but quick and disconcerting resolutions.

Members Reviews: Boring This book took so long to get to the point. I keep going back in time. I lost track of what the story was about. I didn't enjoy this one at all. Highly Recommended Ms. Monroe is at it again! The main character's transformation is astounding as she justifies her actions all through the book before coming back full circle to her values. No one is who he or she appears to be, yet everyone is exactly who they reveal themselves to be. The narrative was easy to listen to; she did a great job transitioning between characters and came across believeably. This audible is highly recommended. Sometimes you will laugh out loud, sometimes you will shake head in disgust, and other times you will feel sorry for all of the characters at some point. There are great lessons in this book. Just ok This was just ok, for me. The ending was way to predictable. There was a lot of jumping around from past to present. Towards the end I felt it repeated a large part that had been told in the beginning. Not Ms. Monroe's best work. Great Author Mary Monroe is a great author! I love every book she has. I dont like the ending though! but when you read it you will probably agree. but it is still a great book. PLEASE READ All the others too! SO funny. Great book I mean this was a extraordinary story and the narrator was so cool, she made it felt like you were watching a movie. 1 thumbs up

Find out who "her" is, and why she is someone you wouldn't want to cross. Members Reviews: Interesting read This was actually a great book. However there was quite a few typos but I was able to see the Author potential through it all. Ryan need to learn to keep his third leg in his pants because he was dealing with someone who was very disturbed and delusional. Taylor was very fond of her man but had no idea of what he was really doing behind her back. Kyra had some serious issue's and had mistaken lust for love. I'm actually looking forward to read part two because I want to since how Ryan dig himself out of the hole he has made, if Kyra will get some sense knocked into her, and Taylor will deal with the betrayal of two people she loves. Ok book This book was just OK for me. I will not be buying the second book. The author wrote in her acknowledgements that she thanked someone for proofreading the book but I couldn't tell that it was proofread. There were way too many grammatical errors for me to spend money on Part 2. I also felt that the story wasn't very original and I've read the storyline in this book a hundred times before. Overall, I'm giving it 2 stars because it was free and it was something to read because I was bored Great read This book is off the chain Karia is crazy & Ryan needs to keep his 3rd leg n his pants I hope no harm comes to the bby becuz of Ryan's cheating can't wait to read part2 to find out the out come So gone!! Kyra is one sick woman!! The things she done, I'm afraid for the baby more than anything!! Running from D brought Moe challenges, BUT GOD!! it was good. Few twists and turns here and there I read it. It could have been more. Overall, it was good. Few twists and turns here and there, but overall it was pretty ok. It's a good book, just seems like it was rushed or something. There were a lot of grammatical errors that kind of threw me off. It ended in a cliffhanger, but I don't think I'll read the 2nd part.

Members Reviews: she done it again ...Love it so much . first time i love it so much never dissappointed with Vanessa Davis Griggs ............ love it yea A Wonderful Christian Story! Title: The Other Side of Dare Author: Vanessa Davis Griggs UNABRIDGED by Vanessa Davis Griggs Narrated by Shari Peele Series: The Blessed Trinity Series #8 Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: 5 Review: "The Other Side of Dare by Vanessa Davis Griggs In a powerful new inspirational novel in the Blessed Trinity series, the award-winning author of "Redeeming Waters" weaves the compelling story of a family threatened by a shocking secret. What I truly enjoyed from the read: The Other Side of Dare... This was another one of this author's great Christian novels. It holds to the saying: " that what is done in the dark will come to light." I found this read so interesting that once I started reading I couldn't put it down until the end. Finding someone at their end but being able to turn your life around was truly part of this good read that was truly enjoyable. This author writes so well of the reality of what can go on a 'todays church's' that will leaves you spell bound in the world that we live in today and are called Christians. I was definitely left saying wow...'Blessed Trinity' it is! You Reap What You Sow! I am a believer in "what goes around, comes around".... and what you plant today, you can expect to reap it's fruits tomorrow. I thought that I wouldn't enjoy this novel because I don't like being preached to. But based on the customer reviews and needing something different, I took the plunge. I enjoyed the storylines so much that I've downloaded the next book in the series because I want to know who is the father of Paris' baby, who is Miss Esther Crowe, and whether Tiffany will divorce her husband, Darius, the serial cheater. This novel is bible based so there are virtually no sex scenes which was a relief for me after listening to a couple of Zuri Day's novels which are chocked full and explicit!. In this novel, the shenanigans of church folks are some of the same shenanigans that happens in many churches today... real life stuff. You have Paris, the spoiled-brat daughter of the local politician, husband Darius "Dare" the serial cheater, the ex-stripper, and Jasmine the little girl who is up for adoption. And then there is the private detective who is hired by the one person you would least expect (that is if you haven't been paying attention). Everybody knows everybody else's business and, of course, everybody knows what the bible says about gossiping but gossip is what they do best! If you are looking for lots of action, steamy sex scenes or a good ole thriller, this is not the book for you.
