But she longs for a husband and family to go along with them. So when charismatic superstar pastor Nya Hempstead declares that partnership is on its way, Felicia is elated - until her life becomes filled with more curses than blessings. Five years later, someone has to pay - and that someone is Nya. Soon Felicia moves to Dallas and joins the church led by Nya and her copastor husband, Gregory. In the eyes of the public, Nya and Gregory have the perfect life. But their marriage is feeling the strain of Nya's success. While she's hitting the talk show circuit and the best-seller list, Gregory is fading into the background. It's no surprise he enjoys the fawning attention of new church member Felicia. Little does he know her intentions are far from pure. And as she infiltrates the pastors' lives, it will take a team of prayer warriors and heavenly intervention to save their relationship - and their ministry. Along the way, will they remember the mission they started with? Critic Reviews: "I just love her work." (Victoria Christopher Murray) "When I read a Tiffany L. Warren novel I know I'm going to get two things - a riveting story and a faith boost!" (ReShonda Tate Billingsley) Members Reviews: Awful, Terrible a waste of my time It took about 4 weeks to listen to this book, I never could get into it. I was determine to finish it. It was only one narrator and she did a terrible job. Plus the story just didn't make any sense. I could have use my time reading,Brenda Jackson, Omar Tyres or Carl Weber. Don't waste your time on this sorry. Be careful how you use your gifts Story was great. I wish the author would have established whether the main character's or her protégé's prophecy was correct bc her protégé really seemed to believe in her own vision. The voice of Felicia kept going up and down and she whispered so much that I got tired of adjusting my volume but other that it was a great read. Great Book. Enjoyable. Spoilers At first I'm like Greg should do it to Nya. But after awhile Felicia became annoying. Because I knew that married man wasn't her blessing. Like come on now. That isn't a blessing at all. That's a freaking nightmare. Look at what she lost in the end. Smh. And getting back at Nya wasn't what she should've done because Nya was wrong for lying but no one told Felicia to mess around with a Married man like really girl. How dumb could you be. That's no blessing. When he step into her office I knew something was going to go wrong. Than the 2nd part of the book. When she got into their church to get back at Nya. Greg was so native lmao. Like really Greg smh you couldn't see what happen until after she walks into the sweat with that gun. Boy bye. I was telling my mom about this book. I'm like what he either look dumb or shock when Felicia true colors come to the light. P. S. This book was really good I'm a fan of urban Christian fiction. Good read. Took me awhile to finish. Loved it! Kept my attention the entire time and the narrators were great! Perfect example of some of twisted happenings in the ministry! Realistic! The author was on point! The narrators entertaining! I really enjoyed this novel.

Decadence Audiobook by Eric Jerome Dickey

Title: Decadence Author: Eric Jerome Dickey Narrator: Susan Spain Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 04-23-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 277 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: With each step I eased down a hallway filled with grand arches. A swanky red carpet led to the meeting area, where men waited for their dates. We exited the undressing room as if we were at a Hollywood premiere. New York Times best-selling author Eric Jerome Dickey returns to a character he created in his celebrated novel of erotic daring, Pleasure. Four years have passed in the life of Nia Simone Bijou, and she is approaching the height of her artistic powers. A film she has written is poised for international success, the studio is eager for a sequel, and the media are fascinated by her work. Yet her imaginative mind is wandering. Though Nia is much desired - by the mysterious, often unavailable international businessman Prada, with whom she enjoys unprecedented attraction; by the fit local veteran, Brett, who puts her through her paces, most often during grueling road training sessions - her first love, Chris, is never far from her thoughts. When Nia receives an invitation to the exclusive pleasure palace known as Decadence, her romantic world gives way to an abundance of sensory experience she could never have imagined. Even as the Hollywood premiere of her potentially career-changing film approaches, she is drawn further into this forbidden lifestyle. Under the influence of glamorous, sensuous new friends, Nia abandons all caution, and her ability to balance truth and fantasy becomes increasingly blurred. Will her relationship with Prada survive countless temptations? Will her professional achievements be given over to impulsive indulgence? Does decadence know any bounds? Eric Jerome Dickeys newest tale of excess - and its sky-high costs - is a thrilling portrait of a glittering world. Members Reviews: EJD Fan Forever I loved the continuation of the Nia character. I need a dictionary sometimes when I read EJD books but I love how intellectual his stories are. Too Much Sex Way too much sex in this book. It could have had a little more story line. I love erotica but this was a little difficult to finish. Sorry I love EJD but this one did not do it for me. Disappointed What would have made Decadence better? I've listened and read all of EJD books and am very disappointed with Decadence. If I wanted a story full of porn, I would have gone to a different type of site. Even if someone was sexually active, to the point of having it as an addiction, one wouldn't have an encounter every min of their lives.... Hopefully the next book will have a plot (like the Gideon series). Would you ever listen to anything by Eric Jerome Dickey again? If it has a plot (or whatever you would call it in this book), no. Didn't really Get It I wanted to read this one because I'd read Pleasure previously. This one was a miss for me. I normally listen to a book within a couple of days. This one took months for me to have the desire to complete. The only reason I did so was to see if the ending was significant. It was not. The book was full of sex, sex, sex and unnecessary vocabulary. Don't get me wrong, I'm a reader, but I'd consider this book as being a collection of the smut (no offence to any of the great authors out there who I enjoy) that I enjoy regularly. No need for Mr. Dickey to use all of the vocabulary that he knows in this kind of book. Furthermore, the book lacked a significant meaning. Would I consider reading more of Dickey's works? Of course.

After being thought dead, Animal resurfaces on the streets of New York to keep true to his promise and make it rain blood over Harlem. All those who had wronged him would feel his wrath, including Shai Clark, boss of the New York underworld. But touching a man like Shai Clark proves easier said than done. Using Animal's soul mate, Gucci, as bait, Shai sets a trap for the young killer. Once again Animal finds himself captured, but this time there will be no trial. He is sentenced to die at the hands of Shai's executioner, a man known only as Priest. The assassin is ordered to kill Animal, but instead of death he gives him the truth of his shadowed past and how their destinies are intertwined. The man ordered to take Animal from the world is also the man who brought him into it. Animal finds himself torn between his hatred for the father who had abandoned him and the man who had taken everything from him. An uneasy truce is formed between father and son to take down a common enemy and finally grant Animal his freedom from the blood debt he's carried for so many years. But when the ghosts of Animal's past catch up with him, he learns that nothing is what it seems, and everything is subject to corruption - even his love for Gucci. Members Reviews: Annoying voice for some characters but great story I would've given it 5 stars but the narrator's voice for some characters irks me K'wan does it again! Would you listen to Animal 2: The Omen again? Why? I loved every section of this book. This book held my attention from the beginning to the epilogue! The Animal series is definitely becoming my favorite. What does Cary Hite bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Cary Hite has the perfect tone for K'wans storytelling If you could take any character from Animal 2: The Omen out to dinner, who would it be and why? I would take Ashanti and King out to dinner to see if they would open up about their way of thinking. Both are so smart (although ruthless). It would be Animal but I feel as though I know why he thinks the way that he does and handles life the way that he does. Any additional comments? I love K'wan.... Keep it coming! Just as good as Animal 1!!!!! Would you consider the audio edition of Animal 2: The Omen to be better than the print version? You can take Animal out the hood but not the hood out of Animal !!!!! Who was your favorite character and why? Zo Pound is my favorite character he is low key but will get hood when he needs too!!!! Gangsta Would you consider the audio edition of Animal 2: The Omen to be better than the print version? Yes, listening to this story too me was like watching the a good movie. All I need was popcorn & a soda. It was full of action, drama, scandal.loved it! Any additional comments? If you have been sleeping on K'wan, Animal series like I was at first.wake up! This series has it all. Decent This was a decent audio book. As a grade I would give it an overall B-.

Trae and Tasha are my favorite couple in the book. The narrator was terrible Overall I loved the story. Wahida is a great author. I didn't like the narrators voice.

Title: To Paris with Love Author: Carl Weber, Eric Pete Narrator: Suzanne Cypress, Lisa Smith, Corey Allen, Adam Alexander Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 530 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Ripped from the pages of Carl Weber's New York Times best-selling Family Business series comes a solo story about his most popular character to date - the bright, sexy, and deadly Paris Duncan. Join Carl Weber and Eric Pete as they go back in time and take Paris Duncan to Europe, to the finishing school where she meets her first true love, makes her first real enemy, and commits her first crime. Listeners will get a thrilling inside view into the events that made Paris the lovely but lethal woman she is today. Members Reviews: Paris in love SAY WHAT? I liked this book it was very suspenseful and helped me understand how Paris become the bad chick that we know her to be in other books. I love her loyalty to her family and you can tell she has always been loyal to her family even in the midst of her being in love. She is still a super freak and willing to do what she has to do to get the job done. The narrator brought life and emotion to this book. I was able to feel the suspense and fight in the words that were used and this author duo worked together very well. I will give this book two thumbs up and will continue to read Carl Weber and Eric Pete books. I am still amazed that Paris found love. The end made it worth the listen Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The ending was so good, it made the first few painful hours worth it. It seemed the story dragged on about nothing for the first few chapters with some action thrown in here and there. Eventually, it picked up. I love Carl Weber's twists. Would you ever listen to anything by Carl Weber and Eric Pete again? Yes, I usually love Carl Weber's books from cover to cover. Also, the first two Family Business books were awesome. What three words best describe the narratorss performance? I think the narrator who read for Rio sounded older than the character, but they all did well. Was To Paris with Love worth the listening time? Yes. A very good book with a terrible ending... I really enjoyed reading this book because I got a lot of insight into who Paris was. I have grown to love her as a character which was something I definitely didn't expect. I also LOVED and still solve Niles. My only problem was that I really can't justify why Paris could not come clean to Niles, I mean they were practically engaged! She was even thinking about introducing him to the family and having him work on their team just like what London did with Harris! It just doesn't make sense to me... And the other thing was that this story started off with "now" and then went to "then" but never came back to now again! Now we know that's against the rules... Gotta love Paris!! Great story just as the other Family Business books. I just hated Too's narrator!!! He sounds like he's just calling words!! Ugh!! I enjoyed. What made the experience of listening to To Paris with Love the most enjoyable? The pace of the story is what I enjoyed most. Who was your favorite character and why? I did not have a favorite character; they each added to building the story. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? I was not familiar with this author. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I actually had to take it in doses...

Members Reviews: kept my interest This was a short book but it kept my interest. looking forward to the second and third parts. Struggled to read this garbage.. This was definitely one of the worst books I've read by this author. This has me very skeptical about reading anything else. Mind reeling This is actually a very interesting read. I like how the story flows from beginning to end. I like how the author connects all the characters and how it all comes together to reveal the GRANDE FINALE. I can actually see this actually happening to someone. The narrator was great, the plot was well written. This book will make your mind wonder. I gave this book a 4 star because I am critic and a book has to blow me away to get a full five star. This book was good though. Very unexpected.

I'm in love with this FIX yep i am.... greyeyez
Great book. Really enjoy all three. tnis trilogy was off the chain. K'wan did it again. Awesome! Little Monk so naive Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Would recommend because of the characters and the linking to other books such as Hoodlum. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? the plot was great due the flow of the pace and waiting for people to get what they deserved. Have you listened to any of Soozi Cheyennes other performances before? How does this one compare?

For three years of the War Between the States, Marlie Lynch has helped the cause in peace: with coded letters about anti-Rebel uprisings in her Carolina woods, tisanes and poultices for Union prisoners, and silent aid to fleeing slave and Freeman alike. Her formerly enslaved mother's traditions and the name of a white father she never knew have protected her - until the vicious Confederate Home Guard claims Marlie's home for their new base of operations in the guerilla war against Southern resistors of the Rebel cause. Unbeknowst to those under her roof, escaped prisoner Ewan McCall is sheltering in her laboratory. Seemingly a quiet philosopher, Ewan has his own history with the cruel captain of the Home Guard and a thoughtful but unbending strength Marlie finds irresistible. When the revelation of a stunning family secret places Marlie's freedom on the line, she and Ewan have to run for their lives into the hostile Carolina night. Following the path of the Underground Railroad, they find themselves caught up in a vicious battle that could dash their hopes of love - and freedom - before they ever cross state lines. Author bio: Alyssa Cole is a science editor, pop culture nerd, and romance junkie who recently moved to the Caribbean and occasionally returns to her fast-paced NYC life. Her writing has been featured in publications including Vulture (New York magazine's entertainment blog), Heroes and Heartbreakers, and The Toast. When she's not busy writing, traveling, and learning French, she can be found watching anime with her real-life romance hero or tending to her herd of pets. Members Reviews: Pretty good... But.. I thought that the author did a really good job detailing the South's horrific past pertaining to racism, and slavery. there were so many unanswered questions in this book. Why did Marlie's father treat her the way he did? Why was the secret of her paternity kept from her? What really happened to K. Hill? I waited so long for him to get his just deserves, only to have that scene kind of glazed over. What became of Sarah? Why in the world was Marlie always so indecisive when it came to Euing? That more than anything else required a lot of patients from me. Also, what happened when Marlie met Euing's brother and his wife? I really would have loved and update on his brother and Elle. All in all it was a good read I preferred book one though.

McFadden. An emotional journey from grief and suffering to understanding and forgiveness, Sugar will keep you listening until its graceful conclusion. Sugar arrives in the small town of Bigelow, Arkansas, like an ominous storm. She saunters down the street in a blonde wig and spiked heels, cigarette dangling between red-painted lips. Without even speaking to her, the women in town hate her. But when she moves in next door to Pearl, a woman who tragically lost her daughter 15 years earlier, the two women bond over tragic pasts. In this remarkably vivid novel read by gifted narrator Myra Lucretia Taylor, you can almost smell the blooming magnolias in this 1950s-era town. Members Reviews: A must read!! Such a great story! Flawless narration!... Did not want the story to end!... I wanted more of Sugar and Pearl!! Wow... I can't remember a time when I have been moved to tears like this since I read the book "Roots"...The entire books had me in suspense, things started to make since as far as me connecting dots at the end but I never thought that it would have me emotional...The author, and the reader had me on edge and emotional till the end...Thank you for writing this, and teaching me lessons about judging a book by its cover, and living our lives. I have so many other things to say but can't quite put them in to words... Beautifully written and narrated! The author's words are beautifully descriptive of each character, place, and time. I fell in love with Sugar. She was complicated and although her life was hard she was not sad. The four are because the story was heavy for me and the timelines were confusing. I'm so glad I read it and I will read more by this writer but it will be after something a bit lighter. Marvelous work! Thank You The written word the narration - no words to describe. My heart and soul Shaken! Outstanding Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Just a beautifully written book. Lyrical, humorous and heart breaking. Ms. McFadden weaves an involved tale of loss, love, friendship and survival.

A survivor of a suicide cult, he scrapes by as a porter at a bus depot in Utica, New York, until one day a mysterious letter arrives, summoning him to enlist in a band of paranormal investigators comprised of former addicts and petty criminals, all of whom had at some point in their wasted lives heard what may have been the voice of God. Infused with the wonder of a disquieting dream and laced with Victor LaValle's fiendish comic sensibility, Big Machine is a mind-rattling mystery about doubt, faith, and the monsters we carry within us. Members Reviews: bizarre folk/myth with profound thoughts, as written by a great writer well, this is not your everyday book. first of all, it doesn't make "logical" sense, so if that bothers you, don't read this. this is a made up story, pretty clearly, and involves some pretty tall tales. it makes sense within the story, it has its own internal logic. i think this would be classified as "magical realism". the characters within the story reminds me of stories by authors like isabel allende, early barbara kingsolver, and kurt vonnegut- all great writers with fantastic imaginations. not very ordinary characters. maybe they came from the pages of junot diaz and ended up in the world of kurt vonnegut. that is quite a journey. but a journey that makes sense, within the framework of this storyline. some of the story is heartbreaking, some is funny, all of it is strange, but in a good way....the writer is a great writer, that is very clear. i am not sure how to underline in my kindle, but there were certain passages i wanted to underline because they were written so well; some of the thoughts were so profound, and so poetic. if you don't understand this story at first, i'd say: go with it, and you will be rewarded. this is a very special book, and the writer, clearly a very special writer. i'm going to look up his other books. i actually was reading something on a sci-fi book site about a writer who has a book coming out featuring a devil in an insane asylum. the book sounded interesting, and the article mentioned one of the author's earlier books, called "big machine". i remembered i'd bought a book with that name some time ago, in a kindle free or .99 offer, and i found it in my kindle. book #378 of #689. yes, i have accumulated quite a few books, to say the least. and most are of that price range- cheap to free. i started reading "big machine" and found myself captured by the main character, invested in what happens to him..... and then the story got stranger and stranger, but i held on....so glad i did. I am impressed Victor LaValle is an extremely talented writer who can blend a great mystery with suspense while keeping socially conscious. The characters feel real, and surprisingly easy to relate to. Was not disappointed by this novel. Heavyweight This is a fantastic novel. Though fairly short, and a fairly quick read, it's a big book: an ambitious story that touches on race, class, faith and the promise of America. The prose is clear and direct, and the clever structure serves the story so well it almost escapes notice. I can't recommend it enough. The "Ralph Ellison meets Thomas Pynchon" blurb is probably what sold it to me, but I don't really agree.

Tragedy strikes when Me-Ma has a heart attack at church. The sisters are shocked to discover that Me-Ma left the house and all her money to the church. Now the pastor wants them out unless they can come up with the money to buy the house from him. To make matters worse, Bunny already owes over $100,000 to a very dangerous man. How can four broke women, each with her own mountain of problems, come up with enough money to save the family's home - and save Bunny's life?

Title: Home Subtitle: A Novel Author: Toni Morrison Narrator: Toni Morrison Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-12 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 238 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: America's most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison extends her profound take on our history with this twentieth-century tale of redemption: a taut and tortured story about one man's desperate search for himself in a world disfigured by war. Frank Money is an angry, self-loathing veteran of the Korean War who, after traumatic experiences on the front lines, finds himself back in racist America with more than just physical scars. His home may seem alien to him, but he is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come from and that he's hated all his life. As Frank revisits his memories from childhood and the war that have left him questioning his sense of self, he discovers a profound courage he had thought he could never possess again. A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and his home. Critic Reviews: "Profound . . . Morrison's portrayal of Frank is vivid and intimate, her portraits of the women in his life equally masterful. Its brevity, stark prose, and small cast of characters notwithstanding, this story of a man struggling to reclaim his roots and his manhood is enormously powerful. (Stephan Lee, O, The Oprah Magazine) Morrisons perfect prose [is] immaculate...Beautiful, brutal. (Publishers Weekly) A deceptively rich and cumulatively powerful novel. (Kirkus) Members Reviews: Urbane Personally, I felt the best thing about this work was the performance; languid, sweetly pleasing to the ear and thoughtful. The characters were beautifully developed and interesting but nebulous; coming into being then melting away as another came to take its place. When "C" appeared I began to connect. Finally, I thought, I had found the protagonist, the character that was going to carry the story, but just a suddenly she too was gone, just like the rest. It was just too frustrating! I am certain that my inability to connect with this work had more to do with a lack on my part; I didn't take literature in college, then with the work; which is beautifully written and beautifully performed. I found it too urbane and sophisticated for my tastes, so after 5 chapters and no, apparent, common denominator, I simply gave up. Because even after 5 chapters my interest hadn't peaked enough to want to know where this story was going. not a novel, but a collection of short stories I adore Tori Morrison. Beloved is my favorite book of all time. I read A Mercy (her last book) when it came out in hard cover and it was just a mess. It was surprising to me that Ms. Morrison would write such a disjointed book. However, I am reviewing _Home_ and while it is a lovely collection of short, unrelated stories, I was expecting a novel. Nowhere in the description does it say it is short stories. So... if you love Morrison's way of putting words together (and that's what I'm letting myself concentrate on as I listen for the second time) and her reading voice (she doesn't "act". She just reads)...but the feeling is so intimate that I feel like a sweet fairy godmother is reading to me. But, some people don't like that and have complained. If you like short stories (I'm not a big fan) and you have enjoyed Morrison's books in the past, then you may like this one.

Lynn Harris Narrator: Rocky Carroll Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 08-17-00 Publisher: Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 115 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: She is the uncompromising Yancey Harrington Braxton, an up-and-coming Broadway star who oozes charm and bleeds ambition. Young, beautiful, and dangerously crafty, Yancey is prepared to do whatever she must to get what she wants. A femme fatale who has left more than a few brokenhearted men in her wake, Yancey is intrigued and besotted by Basil. Both believe that in each other they've finally met their match. A lavish wedding is planned, and the ultimate power couple plans to spend their lives in holy matrimony. But just before the nuptials, fate and a little comeuppance from the past threaten the happy couple's future. Masterful storyteller E. Lynn Harris takes the listener on a delicious ride into the mischievous lives of two very unforgettable characters. Members Reviews: Not a day goes by This was an awesome story. I think I liked the tangled web that was being weaved as the story went on. I couldn't turn my player off! I had to get in the shower with my player under my shower cap!!! I'm looking forward to reading more of his books. Superb Storytelling E. Lynn Harris certainly has a way with telling a story. That's a big plus. Unfortunately, what he doesn't have is big, too. And that is a way with words. Harris has the habit of repeating certain catch phrases and dialog idioms. Many times different characters "speak" in the same way using the same words. It's difficult to distinguish one character from another because of that deficiency, and the narrator, certainly an accomplished Broadway actor, doesn't shade the characters and make them unique individuals. However, let's not quibble because I really enjoyed this tale of a man and woman, both very unlikeable, who, because of circumstances, come to be much better people. I liked the locales, the characters and the situations in which they find themselves. Very entertaining, and I will definitely listen to his other books carried here on audible.com. GREAT READ..COULDNT PUT IT DOWN I am a first-time reader of E.Lynn Harris. I really enjoyed the novel. The narrator was great with his changing and expressive tone it gave me a great visual to play in my head. I look forward to the next novel, thank you so much! I have the actual book... If I didn't have the actual book & had listened, I wouldn't know anything was left out. And some stuff was. Ava? Yancey should have learned from the mess with Nicole that trouble would rear it's head. I would love to have seen more Basil stories but our Beloved E.Lynn Harris has passed on. Greatness forever. favorite author great read from a great writer. still one of my favorite books and favorite author.

Will their love triumph despite new romantic interests and past enemies looking to get even? Your Spouse, My Sponsor 2 is a rollicking ride filled with drama, betrayal, and unexpected twists that will leave you in awe. Members Reviews: Grip and Kirby Well I loved book one so much. I was disappointed with book two. I did like The ending. I didn't like that they changed grip so much. In book one he was actually a nice guy trying to do the right thing. Then he became a kingpin and became a jerk. But overall the book was okay. The end redeem the book. I will be starting book three. THE WORST! Unbelievable, unrealistic, most insulting story and storyline Ive ever had the misfortune of reading. This is an entire joke! Great story It took me about one day to finish both books. I could not stop listening I was so in tune... I could just imagining in my mind exactly how everything is going. I love the book!!!!! I love love love love love it it is the best!!!! I can't wait to read more It's good The women are so weak and dependent on men its disgusting and the narrator sounded like he was solving murders in the 1940s Good Book The listening to the book was like listening to Kevin Gates 'Islah" Album. Its like the author was listening to the CD and decided to quote certain verses.

It's been three years since Aaron Mackie succeeded in helping his friend and mentor Bishop T.K. Wilson dig his ministry out of financial ruin. Aaron is also responsible for re-energizing the almost defunct choir into something special. His success has drawn national attention, and he's on the verge of signing a huge recording contract. With his life in order, Aaron decides the time is right to propose to Tia Gregory, the church secretary who caught his eye and inspired him to shed his Tiger Woods-like tendencies to become a one-woman man. The stage is set for what might be the wedding of the year, but quickly becomes the disaster of the year when Aaron is left at the altar without explanation. Now, during his own hour of need, Aaron turns to the bishop for help. Unfortunately, the line he asks T. K. to cross will force the bishop to choose between faith and friendship, or as he puts it, "between heaven and hell". As the investigation into Tia's disappearance continues, the two men are challenged in ways they never imagined. Critic Reviews: "After a church member commits suicide, secrets are exposed that could destroy the church and various relationships as Weber (Up to No Good) successfully explores the multiple megaproblems challenging this church family and scores again with a lively mix of church politics and bedroom follies."

Change all the words! What about the narratorss performance did you like? The narrator's did a great job. Do you think The Choir Director 2 needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Hell no. Because it kinda sucked. Disappointing What did you like best about The Choir Director 2? What did you like least? There wasn't much that I liked about this story. What could Carl Weber have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? He could have followed the first book a little better. This story was way outta left field from the first book. Did the narration match the pace of the story? The narration was fine. Was The Choir Director 2 worth the listening time? Not at all! I kept hoping that it would pick up or give me something but it just bombed! Any additional comments? I only gave the story a 3 because I am a fan of Carl Weber.

Everything seems to be going well, until someone is murdered, and everyone becomes a prime suspect. Members Reviews: Epilogue brings the story together I was waiting for Carl Weber to drop a new book and I wasn't at all disappointed with this mystery. I like how Carl Weber let us meet the characters and the situations in their life that help you connect to the charcter. You even get the opportunity to meet the man in 3b and learn a lil about him before his death. I don't want to give anything away but I did like the narrators and the story was put together very well. It wasn't one of the best books I have read by Carl Weber but it kept my interest. Pretty good book Carl. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? If I got paid to listen to it. I'm talking thousands of dollars What could Carl Weber have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Made it remotely interesting and provided the characters with some depth How did the narrator detract from the book? Clearly they have never narrated an audio book before.

Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 09-23-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 303 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Rose Gold is two colors, one woman, and a big headache. In this new mystery set in the Patty Hearst era of radical black nationalism and political abductions, a black ex-boxer self-named Uhuru Nolica, the leader of a revolutionary cell called Scorched Earth, has kidnapped Rosemary Goldsmith, the daughter of a weapons manufacturer, from her dorm at UC Santa Barbara. If they don't receive the money, weapons, and apology they demand, "Rose Gold" will die - horribly and publicly. So the FBI, the State Department, and the LAPD turn to Easy Rawlins, the one man who can cross the necessary borders to resolve this dangerous standoff. With twelve previous adventures since 1990, Easy Rawlins is one of the small handful of private eyes in contemporary crime fiction who can be called immortal. Rose Gold continues his ongoing and unique achievement in combining the mystery/PI genre form with a rich social history of postwar Los Angeles - and not just the black parts of that sprawling city. Editorial Reviews: "The most quotable of all contemporary detectives stirs up enough trouble for scene after memorable scene." ( Kirkus Reviews) Critic Reviews: "Set in L.A. during the height of the Vietnam War, Mosley's impressive 13th Easy Rawlins mystery (after 2013's Little Green) finds Roger Frisk, special assistant to the police chief, calling on Easy with a job... Easy's experiences and insights perfectly mirror the turbulent '60s." ( Publishers Weekly, starred) "Mosley has few peers when it comes to crafting sentences, and he's woven some beauties into this swift-moving yet philosophical story that does more for illustrating an iconic period than hours of documentary film could. This Easy Rawlins novel harks back to the great early days of the series." ( Booklist, starred) Members Reviews: Good story weak ending. I loved the story it had many twist and turns, kept me interested until the weak ending. But I'm a huge Walter Mosley fan! great read.....loved it
narration was fantastic felt like I was there in the story instead of reading the story Rose is Gold. This was really a great story. Many twist and what I like is how things came together. Good job! Glad to have Easy Rawlins and Mouse back on the scene. They were missed. Rose Gold was a good story and true to the Easy Rawlins style of story. It felt like the return of an old friend. Narrator was excellent. I was feeling all of it. My expectations were met and then some. would have liked to hear more from mouse.

While Dena Jones definitely has what it takes to succeed, she wants out. She's determined to make it out of "Crooklyn" by any means necessary and doesn't have a problem manipulating men to get what she wants. True has finally made it. His debut album has the streets going crazy and is threatening to spill over into the mainstream. After the murder of his group, his jump-off, and almost his dreams, True's life is finally starting to look up - until karma catches up with him. Somebody wants him dead, and he doesn't know why. Or does he? Jah and Yoshi were supposed to have a romance straight out of a story, but there are no such things as fairy tales in the ghetto. Her position as a stylist keeps her in the mix and in the company of some industry heavyweights. Jah tries to be understanding, but he can't help but wonder just how much he can trust his girlfriend. He had promised to love her regardless of her past. But in addition to wondering whether his girlfriend is creeping with her clients, Jah has a bigger problem: Someone is trying to kill True, and it's his job to make sure that doesn't happen. Members Reviews: awesome With Kwan and Cary Hite you can't go wrong I loved this book and the narration was the icing on the cake Enjoyed the story line I enjoyed this book Kwan never cease to amaze me with his hood grammar and gangsta mentality ready for more A Magnificent Story Of Sadness No mere words can explain the multiple emotions created by this novel. In the end a sorrow so great is all that remains. K'wan gave a story of trials and tribulations that is sure to stand the test of time like great authors before him. Whether it be the love of Jah and Yoshi, the rush of growing up for Dena or the unwavering blood lust for revenge by Sha Boogie this tale of tragedies put you on the sidelines to view firsthand the pitfalls of the hood in Harlem New York City. The urge to mourn characters you have never met or interacted with is incredibly overwhelming. This is something for everyone in all walks of life to grow on. I highly recommend this book to be read. This is a bonified 5 star purchase like very few before it's time. Amazing Author/ Narrator Everything k'wan puts his brilliant ideas to is great ,keep letting your mother speak through you.Cary Hite is the best they understand one another. One amazing voice.And I thank you for that. great! A great book as I already expected it to be. I can't wait to read more!

Paradise Audiobook by Toni Morrison

Title: Paradise Author: Toni Morrison Narrator: Toni Morrison Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: "Rumors had been whispered for more than a year. Outrages that had been accumulating all along took shape as evidence. A mother was knocked down the stairs by her cold-eyed daughter. Four damaged infants were born in one family. Daughters refused to get out of bed. Brides disappeared on their honeymoons. Two brothers shot each other on New Year's Day. Trips to Demby for VD shots common. And what went on at the Oven these days was not to be believed.... The proof they had been collecting since the terrible discovery in the spring could not be denied: the one thing that connected all these catastrophes was in the Convent. And in the Convent were those women." In Paradise - her first novel since she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature - Toni Morrison gives us a bravura performance. As the book begins deep in Oklahoma early one morning in 1976, nine men from Ruby (pop. 360), in defense of "the one all-black town worth the pain", assault the nearby Convent and the women in it. From the town's ancestral origins in 1890 to the fateful day of the assault, Paradise tells the story of a people ever mindful of the relationship between their spectacular history and a void "Out There...where random and organized evil erupted when and where it chose". Richly imagined and elegantly composed, Paradise weaves a powerful mystery. Critic Reviews: "Morrison has brought it all together: the poetry, the emotion, the broad symbolic plan." (The New York Times Book Review) "Stunning.... Morrison at her novelistic best." (The New Yorker) Members Reviews: The writing is absolutely gorgeous and the story wraps around you while you read it making it so easy and fast but it hurts Oh my this book is heartbreaking. I didnât know what I was getting into when I picked it up and now my hearts in pieces. The writing is absolutely gorgeous and the story wraps around you while you read it making it so easy and fast but it hurts. The characters are mostly children and I think that makes it even harder to read because of the innocence lost. Itâs good buts itâs so emotionally draining. Still deep. This is my second time reading this book after a 30 year break and I am probably a harsher judge than I was back then.The prose still grabs this reader's attention, as it is certainly superb.The story is disjointed and having read other Morrison novels, you can easily discern that this was his first novel because she has grown tremendously in her story telling while her prose remains at a very high level. Still a very good and deep read. " I would recommend it to mature(people with a little life experience) audiences ... While I found it interesting at times: a look into another world, I found the language and subject matter darker (pun not intended): I do not know if she could have created the same book without the vulgarity, and, perhaps she believed this was necessary to make her point, but, there were points where I felt voyeuristic and asked, "should I even be reading this?" I would recommend it to mature(people with a little life experience) audiences only.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: This book was soooo good! i thought it was going to be really ghetto but theres actually true love in the story which captured all my attention. Love Profit!!! i couldnt put the book down! i cant wait until the next book comes out next june. i swear i want to read all her books now. The Bomb!!!! I Love, Love, Love this book!!! Mama Peaches is my favorite character!! This book had me feeling all kinds of emotions, i couldnt stop listening!! Not what I expected From the title I expected strong powerful women but all I got was drug addicts, who abandoned their kids at the drop of a hat and chased behind the worst of men. Rape, physical and verbal abuse. It's just not my kind of entertainment. Looking Forward to the Swquel This was a pretty good book. I am looking forward to more from this author as well as part 2. I'll listen to this one again. Give it a minute...then whoa!!!! Honestly, I never leave reviews. As a matter of fact, this is my first. This is a great read! I'm so excited I decided to give this author a try. Urban (street) novels are new to my library. However, the characters are written so vividly that I am simply floored at how deep I have been pulled into the story. I feel like I really know these characters. I have looked up the series so I can listen in order. I'm sure I will be a fan for life. There's only one narrator so some of the characters did initially sound the same but, as the story developed, that was no longer an issue. Just try it. Give it a minute... Then get in where you fit in!!!

I really loved the characters of the three friends. They were very likeable. As always, I loved the twists and turns CW provides in his stories. I also liked that this story wasn't full of downright smut. Do not hesitate to purchase this or any other book written by CW. As for the narrator, he truly is one of the best! He has such talent. I love that he can play so many characters, including females, then switch back to his normal voice when just reading. Simply amazing. Love and admiration to both CW and KF. What a Page Turner!! This was one of Carl Weber's best books yet. Reading this was like watching a movie with all the twists & turns. The narrators were great with each character. I hated to stop listening...Great Book! Another good one. This wasn't his best work, but if Carl Webber wrote it, I will read it. Great Story Really Enjoyed this book. I started with Carl Weber a while back and i can't stop listening to his books. i have enjoyed them all . This book was just OK The relationships were so predictable and it was very clear what was going to happen maybe if I had read this back when it was written it would have been better.

Getting to Happy Audiobook by Terry McMillan

Epatha Merkerson, Gloria Reuben, LaChanze Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 09-07-10 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 590 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Terry McMillan's Waiting to Exhale was more than just a bestselling novel - its publication was a watershed moment in literary history. McMillan's sassy and vibrant story about four African American women struggling to find love and their place in the world touched a cultural nerve, inspired a blockbuster film, and generated a devoted audience. Now, McMillan revisits Savannah, Gloria, Bernadine, and Robin fifteen years later. Each is at her own midlife crossroads: Savannah has awakened to the fact that she's made too many concessions in her marriage, and decides to face life single again-at fifty-one. Bernadine has watched her megadivorce settlement dwindle, been swindled by her husband number two, and conned herself into thinking that a few pills will help distract her from her pain. Robin has an all-American case of shopaholism, while the big dream of her life - to wear a wedding dress - has gone unrealized. And for years, Gloria has taken happiness and security for granted. But being at the wrong place at the wrong time can change everything. All four are learning to heal past hurts and to reclaim their joy and their dreams; but they return to us full of spirit, sass, and faith in one another. They've exhaled: now they are learning to breathe. Editorial Reviews: Its been 15 years and the four women you loved from Waiting to Exhale are back with a few more wrinkles, a few more pounds, but the same old man issues. Savannah (voiced by author Terry McMillan), who was single when we last knew her, has now been married for 10 years and is falling out of love. Robin has a 15-year-old daughter and is trying her hand at internet dating. Bernadine, now twice divorced, is drowning in her prescription drug addiction. And Gloria, the only woman out of the four with a good man and a happy home is dealt a tragic blow, which brings all four of the women even closer in support of their friend. The same personalities that made the original novel so great are still there, but the bitterness and unhappiness that pervades these womens lives gets tiresome in this sequel. McMillans portrayal of Savannah is especially bitter and acid-laced and one cant help but wonder if her own failed marriage inspires the tone. The other three characters, voiced by S. Epatha Merkerson, Gloria Reuben, and LaChanze, sound strikingly familiar to the actresses who portrayed the women in the movie Waiting to Exhale. Whether on purpose or not, its easy to picture the characters as their on-screen personas and get involved with them all over again. If you loved Waiting to Exhale and are curious about where these women ended up, this book is worth a listen. But if youre hoping they all found a happy ending or have learned something about men and love in the past 15 years, youre bound to be disappointed. Members Reviews: Read don't listen I haven't finished the audiobook but it didn't take 5 minutes to realize that Terry McMillan's narration is the death of this work as an audiobook. I'm haven't finished the book so I can't speak to the book itself. However, if you are an avid audiobook listener, you will be disappointed by McMillan's reading. She simply reads the book with none of the voice acting audible fans are used to. For example, it's hard to tell which character is speaking since every one sounds the same.

Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Montana and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses - and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land. Members Reviews: Excellent This is the best book on Audible. And trust me I have listened to close to 1,000 and I hardly ever review. Fantastic! Love Kevin Kenerlys voice! I have always been a fan of James Baldwin. Loved this storyline very much. Thanks Novel & Performance: AMAZING Both Performance and Novel are stunning. Author's genius is complemented to perfection by reader's impressive talent. Bravo Amazing! Amazing performance as well as expected storytelling from Baldwin. Gripping tale that rings true even today. Riveting love story and the evolution of self. I think this love story really spoke to self awareness. The homosexuality peace was almost just a backdrop. James Baldwin's Vivid accounting made you feel like you were there in Harlem or Paris

Since then, Alicia has been dating her first husband, Phillip Sullivan, a wonderfully kind and true man of God whom she'd hurt terribly by cheating on him. Alicia has worked hard to prove herself worthy of his trust once more, and when he asks her to marry him again, she couldn't be happier. But Levi Cunningham, the drug dealer Alicia had an extramarital affair with, has just been released from prison, and he has completely turned his life around for the better. Still head-over-heels in love with Alicia, he will do whatever is necessary to win her back. Remarrying Phillip is the one thing Alicia has wanted for years, but she can't get Levi out of her mind. Alicia and Phillip aren't the only ones in the middle of a crisis. Their best friends, husband and wife Brad and Melanie Richardson, are struggling to keep their marriage together. Workaholic Brad is never home and has begun losing thousands on bad investments. Or so he says. Melanie, who is certain there's more to the story, is determined to get at the truth. At the same time, her frustration and stress cause her to eat a lot less, and she behaves in an extreme fashion. Alicia worries that she could be suffering from anorexia, but Melanie steadfastly denies it. Their friendship begins to suffer, and it isn't long before they're talking to each other like enemies. Fresh betrayal leads to consequences no one saw coming, and Alicia's relationship with Phillip might not be the only thing that needs saving. But is it already too late? Members Reviews: Terrible Narrative Narrator sounds like she's reading a technical book. she over enunciated every word. What a roller coaster! I always love when Kimberla gives us a great storyline.

Cotton County, Georgia, 1930: In a house full of secrets, two babies - one light-skinned, the other dark - are born to Elma Jesup, a white sharecropper's daughter. Accused of her rape, field hand Genus Jackson is lynched and dragged behind a truck down the Twelve-Mile Straight, the road to the nearby town. In the aftermath, the farm's inhabitants are forced to contend with their complicity in a series of events that left a man dead and a family irrevocably fractured. Despite the prying eyes and curious whispers of the townspeople, Elma begins to raise her babies as best she can, under the roof of her mercurial father, Juke, and with the help of Nan, the young black housekeeper who is as close to Elma as a sister. But soon it becomes clear that the ties that bind all of them together are more intricate than any could have ever imagined. As startling revelations mount, a web of lies begins to collapse around the family, destabilizing their precarious world and forcing all to reckon with the painful truth. Acclaimed author Eleanor Henderson has returned with a novel that combines the intimacy of a family drama with the staggering presence of a great Southern saga. Tackling themes of racialized violence, social division, and financial crisis, The Twelve-Mile Straight is a startlingly timely, emotionally resonant, and magnificent tour de force. Members Reviews: Great read! This historical fiction story discerns the complicated intersectionality of race, economics, and class. Written in the vernacular of southern Jim Crow Era.

Title: Never Trust a Stranger Author: Mary Monroe Narrator: Lisa Reneé Pitts, Robin Eller, Sean Crisden Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 03-28-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Mary Monroe takes you on the ultimate twist-filled ride with her Lonely Heart, Deadly Heart series. For two restless women looking for satisfaction, too much of a good thing is never enough - even as a lethal passion closes in. Best friends Lola Poole and Joan Proctor-Riley have finally found the love and excitement they've always longed for. Online-dating an endless line of wealthy, no-strings-attached lovers is the perfect escape from their unfulfilling lives. And between Joan's selfish husband and Lola's hateful, demanding relatives, the hotter these ladies' secret activities get, the more they crave - and the more reckless they become. Soon, they're taking ever greater risks to pursue their desires. When rugged trucker Calvin Ramsey comes into Lola's sights, he's a surprising answer to all her prayers. He's kind and responsible in his everyday life - and delivers sexual healing like she's never known. What Lola doesn't know is that Calvin loves women to death - literally. And every caring moment and seductive promise this killer gives her draws both Lola and Joan deeper into his inescapable, fatal fantasy. Members Reviews: Very Dissapointed Would you ever listen to anything by Mary Monroe again? Not sure after this. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Dissapointment Any additional comments? I love this author but I really think she missed the mark with this follow up. The first book was great and left me wanting more and dying to know how the story would play out. This book did not provide any of that satisfaction. It was full of fillers and meaningless dialogue...I found myself fast forwarding through a lot of it just to see if anything was ever going to actually happen and it never did. Maybe this one will just be a trilogy and not a 12 book long saga. I won't be buying the next installment. At this point I really don't care what happens to Lola, Joan or Calvin anymore. two of the stupidest women I've ever read about I'm not a real fan of this book. those 2 women Lola a and her friend J can't be based on any real women. Ummm Not a very good ending, not unless there is a part two. Unfinished, left wanting more Really!!!! what's the holdup I want to see already if he's going to kill her or if he's get away with the other murders like come on now I have to wait for a whole nother book dragging along the premise of the story is good, but it is dragging on like a bad date! i wish she would just get to it already.

His death, along with the illicit personal scandals that preceded it, created more drama than the town had ever seen. But now life is back to normal, at least for his widow, Geneva. Or so it seems. Happily remarried, Geneva has to admit her life is better than ever. Her upscale salon is thriving, and she finally has the baby she always wanted. But when she hires nanny Morgan Whitman, she discovers the deceptively matronly woman is stirring up drama, causing Geneva to question many things - including who really killed Johnny. Add local gossip columnist Shartell Brown and tell-it-like-it-is Donetta Pierce to the mix, and soon vicious rumors, terrifying threats, and long-held secrets may add up to another shocking murder - one that will rival even Johnny Mayfield's. Members Reviews: Great entertainment The one word description of this book is entertaining. I couldn't get enough of it! I went through the whole audio in about three days. That is super fast for me. Most of the characters were well-developed, the narration was excellent, and the story-line was interesting and unpredictable. Good book. That's how you write a sequel! Trice Hickman has done her thing again!!!! She has penned a novel that grabs your attention immediately, holds it throughout the entire book, and then ends in a way that pleases you yet makes you want more of this great writing style. After the entangled web of events that occurred in Secret Indiscretions, the citizens of Amber, Alabama find themselves trying to move toward the future while being assaulted by the past. Each family has very interesting days ahead as they attempt to celebrate the holidays. I recommend that you purchase your copy of Deadly Satisfaction to experience a page-turner that will have you hooked until the very end! Fantastic job Trice Hickman! I really, really enjoyed it! Five stars!!!!! Great Sequel This really is an amazing novel. Will keep you entertained until the end. The narrator brought the story to life. Something else! This sequel was one of the best I have ever read. I was on threatening my seat so many times. Suspense city! enjoyable it was an easy read that kept you guessing. good way to travel around town

Quite a few females wanna get at Taneisha, who they can never seem to catch. Kola, on the other hand, hasn't been right since her daughter was abducted, murdered, and left to rot like garbage. Kola roams the streets getting high and partying, leaving her son, Hennessey, to make do. Laquanda is now the popular one - everywhere she goes someone knows her face. She might not be a dime or have riches, but the attention curbs her appetite...to kill. Members Reviews: Ok but.... I was thinking was gonna get even juicier but it was different from how I thought from the first one it left me wanting more but this kinda high and dry the ending was strange also I'm glad laquanda is finally getting hers TANEISHA= MESSY This book wasn't as good as the first, but it was ok. I thought it would pick from book 1 with the drama more detail abt Quanda's murderous ass. Nathan and his lover ummm Taneisha needs something bad to happen to her. It all needs to blow up in her face now that DCF is in picture. There were things going on that were unnecessary in this book it was like the author was just trying to stretch it out. Took too long to get to Quanda. I hope book three picks up on Quandas sentence, Kola getting her life together, Taneisha losing here kids, beat up, and or dead lol. She is definitely MESSY. Hope book 3 is around the corner! 2 Messy!!!!!!!!!!! When you think it canât get any worse and it does, what can you say? Taneisha has to be the most trifling person on earth. Hopefully she will get her just deserts in Book 3. I am sympathetic to Kola and hope that she can find her way back since learning Quanda killed her daugther. I would also like to know why Quanda killed Karter Jr. Customer loves to read This book was a nice read. Was able to see how messy Taneisha was and how she only cared about herself and a come up. Cant wait to read the 3rd book. Lord Lord These chicks are the worst friends ever.Taneisha, needs a good old fashion butt kicking. Kola, please get it together,Quanda shady.

Stringer Narrator: iiKane Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-16 Publisher: Buck 50 Productions Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 142 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: From Vickie Stringer, the "queen of urban fiction" (Publishers Weekly), comes a scorching tale of love, lies, loss, and the indomitable spirit of a woman scorned. Mischievous and manipulative, 18-year-old Red is an expert at deception with a provocative femininity. She employs her dirty ways - even faking a pregnancy with her boyfriend - to win a closetful of Gucci bags, a deluxe condominium full of baby accessories, a new car, and a book deal. But when one of Red's scams backfires and she winds up truly pregnant by her inmate ex-boyfriend, Bacon, she finds herself in more trouble than she's ever known. The drama truly unravels when Red's picture-perfect cons fall apart due to - surprisingly - the power of love. Members Reviews: Narrator sucks! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The narrator was trouble. Her voice had no enthusiasm at all, made it extremely hard to listen. I could not even make it past the 1st chapter. Couldn't enjoy cause of narrator Narrator sounded like a news reporter irritated me couldn't finish this book. Otherwise would've finished Racist pornography This book is terrible. But I listened to the entire thing for the same reason that a person looks at a train wreck. If you're into graphic, and I mean very graphic sex, and racist stereotypes, then this is the book for you. Taking away the sex and vulgarity leaves you with a book that has weak, under developed characters and A rather meaning the storyline. The author tries to end the book as a cliffhanger but the reality is you're just happy it's finished. The most surprising part of this book was the acknowledgments where this vulgar author thanked her church. Dirty Ahhhhh Girl smh Spoilers Alert!!! ALERT! To be honest! Red, is the type of female that you can't trust, I get and feel why Bacon wants to kill Red, could you blame him? But Q being in the middle is not good at all smh. I really like Q foreal, he a good dude. And him being in between Bacon and Red crap will get him hurt. I can't wait to get part 2 and also part 3, I finally gotten around to actually getting this book since I've been wanting to read this in like forever, at first I didn't want to finish this book but after a couple of chapters I'm like this book is actually good, I gotta finish it. Glad I did. P.S. Bruh, "that mother ***** pee on me" lmao now that had me weak. Lord! I knew Q wasn't going to leave Red. Smh, I feel like he's too good of a man for her like seriously. Leave that girl alone Q dang! Like Bell Devoe said "she's so fly, she'll drive you right out of your mind, steal your heart when you're blind, beware she's scheme she'll make you think you're dreaming, that girl is POISON!" and that is what Raven aka RED definitely is smh. And what makes it even worse his friend Zeek tap that and I cannot help but sing poison, like Bell Devoe said "me and the crew used to do her". Yeah, Q and his boy defiantly did her humph. P.S.S One sad thing about this book was when Red got kicked in her stomach and lost her baby that mess even hurt me and when Terri tried to steal her ex and Kira baby smh, I felt so bad for that baby, anything dealing with kids hurt my heart. I mean... The story was pretty good. But the news reporter narrating through me off.

God Ain't Blind Audiobook by Mary Monroe

Title: God Ain't Blind Author: Mary Monroe Narrator: Patricia Floyd Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-09 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 144 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Sensing her husband drifting away, Annette gets a full makeover to recapture his attention. But instead, she catches the eye of another man. Soon Annette is in a full-blown affair - and even Rhoda may not be able to fix things this time. Critic Reviews: "Monroe is a masterful storyteller." (Philadelphia Inquirer) Members Reviews: Horrible! If this was meant to be the sequel to the book "God Don't Play," there was no need for a continuation. And Recorded Audio, can you PLEASE find another narrator? I mean, come on, Patricia R. Floyd's voice is so tired and predictable. You can just picture her rolling her neck and eyes while reading the script. It took me about 3 weeks to finish, which is unheard of. It just didn't hold my attention. But I guess if you're looking for a bedtime story, go for it. It definitely induces sleep. ANOTHER LISTENING PLEASURE I enjoy this series because it passes time for me at work without getting too distracted; however, the book is extremely descriptive and repetitive at times. Additionally, I was a little disappointed with this story because I felt that the personalities of the main character and her husband was opposite of that in the previous book. It just seemed unlikely to me. I liked that they were in love with each other. In one book they are one way, and then totally opposite in the next. Perhaps if there were a story leading up to the events, the transition would have been easier. I don't want to spoil the ending so I won't say too much except that whatever happened to love and trust and faith? Overall, still a great listen. I will be getting the next book. Hope this helps. OK RED LIGHT WIVES IS THE 1ST PART TO THIS STORY VERY CONFUSING DONT BUY IT.. THEN THIS HOT MESS OF A INSTEAD OF TALKING TO MY HUSBAND BK LET ME JUMP TO CONCULSION AND PLAY MYSELF! IT WAS OK WAIT FOR A BIG PRICE REDUCTION! Entertaining Good read/listen. I realized incredulous is one of the authors favorite words that is often overused. Not a bad listen... The story line is actually not bad and neither is the concept. I enjoyed this book. I also enjoy Patricia Floyd's reading.

Micah was hell-bent on forcing their hands and pushing them back into the lifestyle they'd left behind after Damien Orlando's demise. With time ticking away along with Enzo's desire to keep his career and family intact, he will become the monster Micah accused him of being. Enzo will embrace the darkness that flows freely through his veins and make Micah rue the day he awakened the sleeping giant. With Angel by his side, she's ready to be everything he needs in order to keep Micah at bay. But what will happen when Angel learns that Enzo came from the very same monster she thought was long behind her? Will she be able to see Shawn for who he is, or will demons of the past cause her to run? Micah has one agenda: Get revenge on the man who ripped his family apart. Sometimes the sins of the father will be visited upon the children, and Micah intends to make all of them pay. There's just one problem: Enzo comes from two different royal bloodlines, and neither will see the heir to its throne fall at the hands of a man such as Micah. When fame, money, and status are what Enzo and Angel need to survive, just how far will they go to keep hell in their rearview? In war, sometimes blood is all that can save you. Shawn "Enzo" Banks and Bianca "Angel" Smith will find this out the hard way. Members Reviews: An okay read I'm a huge fan of this series. Volume One was epic. Two followed. However with three I was a bit bored with it but it was still good. I felt this book was dragged on. I'm not saying it was a bad book but it just didn't quite do it for me. This book started off very good but it just got boring. I found myself fast forwarding through most of this book saying "get to the point". There was just to much going on in this book. It was all over the place. Hard to keep up with the new characters. I had to go back to figure out who is who. This one was just not it. The narrators did an amazing job as usual. Bringing each character to life as well as the story. Great job!! hard to follow I normally enjoy Carl Weber book but this one was a little chaotic hard to follow. Well... So, 3 stars is because the book had potential. I agree with some of the other posts. The story line was discombobulated! I was confused a lot, and I found myself just continuing on until I could attempt to connect the dots. Disappointed because the other books before this were extremely good reads. Exceptional This author is great I love his raw unpredictable style. look forward to the next. awesome I want more. I am so sad it ended! this family is lethal. I can't wait till see what they do next.

When one of her fellow conductors brings her an injured man to hide, Hester doesn't hesitate...even after she is told about the price on his head. The man in question is known as the "Black Daniel", a vital member of the North's Underground Railroad network. But Hester finds him so rude and arrogant, she begins to question her vow to hide him. Galen Vachon is a member of one of the wealthiest free black families in New Orleans. He has turned his back on the lavish living he is accustomed to in order to provide freedom to those who are enslaved in the South. However, as he heals, he cannot turn his back on Hester Wyatt; he is determined to make this gorgeous and intelligent woman his own. Yet there are traitors to be discovered and slave catchers to be evaded before Hester and Galen can find the freedom that only true love can bring. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: So excited to see Indigo on Audible One of my favorites by Ms. Jenkins. I've read Indigo several times and when I found it on Audible I had to get it right away. Felt the same after seeing Vivid another of my favorites. Story is exceptional and told with elegance and intrigue. Falling in love along with learning a bit of history makes this book a phenonimal good read. HOWEVER, I cringe at this narrators French accent for Galen. So disappointing! He speaks French but is not French so why oh why did she feel Galen needed to have a French accent???? It's HORRIBLE. I imagined his voice to be strong deep and controlled but what we got was a weak terrible sound squeaky voice with a terrible French like accent. I love the story and will finish the listen at the same time I'll imagine Galen's voice as it should be not what I'm hearing. Love Beverly Jenkins my ALLTIME favorite authors Still my favorite book! Of all the books I've read Indigo is at the TOP of my lists. It's by far one of the best books I've ever read so when I saw that it now available in audio format I immediately purchased it. Hester and Galen's fight against slavery is one to be admired. The characters are very well developed and the feelings that blossom between the two are truly lifelong. Ms. Jenkins has a way of teaching you about history within the story and you never walk away after reading her books the way you started. She's still no. 1 in my book. And after having said all that I will say this...I hate this narrator! Lord why??? I almost cried when I heard her interpretation of Galen's voice. Her attempt of a french accent did not make it's mark. The rest of the voices were ok but her french accent has got to stop. (I feel awful for this by the way, I wanted it to be good SOOOOOOO bad). SCHOOL DAYS Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes because of the writer; no because of the narrator. I fell asleep on it several times. What other book might you compare Indigo to and why? Vivid - same author. Same narrator too.

Married at 17, Adam and Evia Langston have worked their way up from rags to riches. But as they are enjoying all the trappings of their success, a financial downturn leaves them teetering on the brink of disaster. And thats when Evias boss makes the Langstons a fivemillion dollar offer they cant refuse. Members Reviews: The Girl is GUUUUUD - {{{{VCM}}} - MUST READ! If you dont get this book you are truly missing out. First of all, how in the world are you going to proposition me about mine - The audacity. In life there are choices and stands you have to make, this work of fiction takes your mind places where on the outside looking in you know exactly what your response would be to these things, but not so much if you are in the mix. This book is awesome. JUST GET IT and thank me later. Great Story! I loved the story about Adam & Evia which I found out their names had a symbolic meaning. Although Evia's actions really started grating my nerves after a while...the old saying "be careful what you wish for" definitely applies. I also enjoyed the way the author "snuck in" a moral to the story - very clever. It would be nice if there was a continuation or part 2. For the love of money Where does The Deal, the Dance, and the Devil rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Wow, this was a good one! Great pacing, good action, funny and just enough passion. It really made me think, too. What does a person sacrifice to What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) No spoiler..but by the middle or at least 3/4s of the way in its pretty obvious. But its still fun to see how far down she's gonna take them. Which scene was your favorite? No one favorite scene. But I could really sympathize with Evia the night she sent Adam to Sasha. That was tough. If you could take any character from The Deal, the Dance, and the Devil out to dinner, who would it be and why? I would take both Adam and Evia out, to give them both a wake-up smack. lol Any additional comments? Just get this book. It had a spiritual message without being the least bit preacy. And a great storyline that had me shaking my head and laughing out loud. Interesting Idea What did you like best about The Deal, the Dance, and the Devil? What did you like least? I thought the performance and narration were really well done. I like the point that the story made overall about what is important in life and what is fleeting. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I liked how the author showed the day to day reality that today's economy can have on a family. I didn't like the "subtle"clues about Shay Shante's true identity, that definitely made parts of the story very corny. I also didn't like how the story was so drawn out in moments such as the countdown portion, you know what's going to happen so I wanted to get to it.

Silk White takes listeners deep into the nightlife of the underworld. A gritty street tale that everyone will enjoy. Book one of the Tears of a Hustler Series - this is how it all begins! Members Reviews: Great Novel This book was so intriguing has me wondering what's next will Big Mel get his for his deceit. So I'm going to read Book 2. The Narrator made me want to stop listening. For this this to be a hood novel the narrator is not making it feel that way. I only made it about 1/5 through and I decided I'm going to have to read the book. He sounds way too proper and when he is reading someone expressing anger he sounds happy. It just felt weird. I will rate the book itself at a later date but I have to stop listening to this Audible version. Author should invest in a thesaurus! If one more thing in this book was done quickly, immediately or slowly, I am sure I was going to sprain my optical nerves from rooting my eyes! Decent story but approached in an amateur fashion. it was cool I just things you should I had a better narrator to read the story. It would have been a lot more intriguing by the Emotion by a lot of chapters instead of it being read it straight through life as if it was just 1 chapters Please get a different narrator... The story had potential but the narrator killed it for me. Some stories and a person's voice don't mix.

Again what was this book really about it had no real meaning to it it wasn't a good read work on your writing skills have a better story other than just sexual motives Good Story But... The story was good however the narration was horrible. I had to slow down the book and it was still pretty quick. I couldn't believe that this audiobook was really published at that speed. It actually took away from the story as my mind was trying to process the fast talking. LOVED IT!!!!! I read this book when I was I'm the tenth grade (I'm 27 now) and I loved it then and I love it even more now! This book kept me on the edge of my seat! It's funny because I would always say they needed to make this one an audio and here it is!! IIKANE did what she do beat and brought the book to life!! I love her as a narrator! This one is worth every penny! I'm hoping they put all three parts on here!!!

This is a must hear! Amazing Book I simply loved this book. After reading this book it helped me reflect on a lot of things that have gone on in my life and the people that have come into and left. True friendship is something you feel from your heart and lives within your soul and this story is the perfect example. Amazing story!!!..."could be better" audio I truly loved this book! It is an amazing story of two people who eventually find each other and change each other's life forever. Both Born and Jada didn't have the easiest upbringing and in a lot of ways they grew up way too fast. But after listening to the story so many times I noticed that Jada had a disadvantage throughout her young adult life that Born didn't EVER have to encounter which was the lack of at least one parent that gave a damn! I think a lot of what happened to Jada could have been avoided if her mother actively cared about the well being of her children while they were still developing into the people they would ultimately become. Later in the book after Sunny and Jada have become closer and Sunny's habit is confronted by Dorian, my feelings for Sunny changed a bit. I realized that Sunny truly didn't have Jada's back when it came to the drugs because she didn't reach out to her friend about getting any help with the problem the two friend's had together. We'll never know if Jada ever told Sunny about her past. Ultimately Jada was responsible for her actions and sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom for the lesson to be learned. I didn't like how the audio seemed to overlap itself throughout book.

Their secret of taking from the wrong street King in the Trap, Damien Orlando, has now put her in peril. The death of her parents signals an end to Diamond's semi-perfect life, putting her in the hands of evil. Her only salvation is to learn the game, and to put her trust in a kid wearing a hoodie. Trigga has been a survivor and a killer in the streets of Atlanta for 16 years, after witnessing the murder of his parents. With his heart set on vengeance, he finds his destiny as a misfit and works his way through the ranks of Damien Orlando's crime syndicate. Once he's forced to snatch up a girl as hard as diamonds, his world changes drastically. It's up to him to use the plan of payback in the form of a simple motto: E.N.G.A (Every N**** Gotta Agenda). Trigga will have to use it to save them both. With his boy Big Jake, along with Gina and Ray-Ray forming their own family, Dame and every goon in his circle are targets. Chaos is coming, and Dame's most trusted are about to bring him pain and death. Members Reviews: Hood Misfits - We all have our own agenda I liked this book and was real into it. I loved the characters and their connections according to their back stories and why they ended up where they were at. There are characters you want to see die and characters that you really feel close to. To me the most effective character was Trigga who was a menace that put fear in you cause he would kill you in the blink of an eye, but throughout the story I felt close to him. I learned that LOYALTY is only given to those who have proven themselves loyal, and at the blink of an eye that loyalty can turn into hatred. My favorite character would definately be Gina. I can see why RaeRae aka Diamond would become attached to this character like she did. Dame was a beast and oh so raw and controlling but so was Trigga when it came to controlling the important things that were planned. The sexual content and brutality was well written and had me clenching my teeth and breathing hard like OH NO, OH NO! I loved the Narrators they were perfect. All in all this book was a good one and I will be ready for the next volume. awesome wonderful can't wait to read volume 2 had me on the edge of my seat Great book This book meets my requirements.love the ending. Trigger is a smart and intelligent person. Can't wait for vol 2 to come Awesome! Good urban reading was good characters a great plot and an amazing ending for volume two. A much recommended book One of the Best Urban Books... Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely! Learn from others mistakes! Understand what they are going through and count your blessings that you don't have to live in a world like this. It helps you appreciate your own life. The authors took time to define its characters to make them live and come to life. The narrators were especially important to the story because without their voice it would be most difficult to appreciate the character's personality, demeanor, etc. I was most impressed with the narrator James Edward Shippy. He really played the part of Trigger which made me come to adore the character.

On the surface, it appears that Sunny has got it all: looks, money, a beautiful home, a healthy daughter, and friends who love her. But Sunny has a secretsomething she hasnt even told her best friend. The truth is Sunny is unhappy. She still misses her beloved Dorian and worries that no other man will ever captivate her the way he did. Shes dated some very powerful and successful men since Dorians death, but will she ever find love again? Its not long before Sunny is chasing those white lines, but when the truth finally explodes, will she be able to put her life back together again? Tracy Brown is the Essence best-selling author of Twisted, White Lines, Aftermath, Criminal Minded, Black, and Dime Piece. Critic Reviews: Readers who like delving into complex relationships and characters creeping behind one anothers back will be drawn in. ( Library Journal) Powerfully vivid language. ( Vibe Vixen) Members Reviews: Good Read, But... First of all let me say, I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was going to be a part 2 to White Lines. I absolutely loved part 1! This one, part 2, it was a good read. It was not up there with part 1, but it was good. I say that mainly because this one ended so abruptly. The first book was really long and detailed, but because it was soooo good, the length didnt matter. So I was a bit surprised when I saw how short this book was. *spoiler alert* Jada and Born, my two favorite characters in this series, need to get it together. I am totally beside myself with these two people. I need them with each other. I need Jada to find some peace and happiness. Shes been through so much in her short life. Its a wonder shes not in the psych ward with her son. I didnt like her decision not to have Born come to her sons hospital room and meet with the CPS worker. I understand that she wants to put her son first, but there is a balance she needs to learn. I hope this is not the end of their story. Sunny on the other hand, needs to get somewhere and sit down. This woman seems to be trying to live out her younger days that she missed because of becoming so seriously involved with a man at the tender age of 17. She is all over the place and she's knocking 40. Now she's messed up poor Malcolm. Sunny needs to stop being selfish and grow up. As for Ava, I really don't know. Maybe we'll get to see her find a love in the next novel. The bottom line is, this was a good read. I hope the shortness of this novel means that the next part will be here soon. There is so much to be addressed. I look forward to reading Tracy Brown's next project. Good Book!!! Well I really enjoyed part 2 of White lines, I felt it was a good follow up to part 1. It held my attention from beginning to end. Loved It! I really enjoyed part 2! I thought the story line was a great pick up from part 1. I also enjoyed how Tracy is mixing characters from snapped into white lines. I was not disappointed. Just anxious for white lines 3!! Not as good as part 1 The story line for this book was a little on the weak side. One thing that I can not phathom is a mother not letting her kid know who his father is or even telling him a name even if it aint the truth.

All Different Kinds of Free Audiobook by Jessica McCann

Title: All Different Kinds of Free Author: Jessica McCann Narrator: Mia Bankston Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 06-11-12 Publisher: Belle Books, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 141 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: A free woman of color in the 1830s, Margaret Morgan lived a life full of promise. One frigid night in Pennsylvania, that changed forever. They tore her family apart. They put her in chains. But they never expected her to fight back. In 1837, Margaret Morgan was kidnapped from her home in Pennsylvania and sold into slavery. The state of Pennsylvania charged her kidnapper with the crime, but the conviction was later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. It was the first time a major branch of the federal government had made a pro-slavery stand, and the ruling in Prigg v. Pennsylvania sewed the bitter seeds of the states' rights battle that eventually would lead to the Civil War. Yet, the heart of this story is not a historic Supreme Court ruling. It is the remarkable, unforgettable Margaret Morgan. Her life would never be the same. Her family had been torn apart. Uncaring forces abused her body and her heart. But she refused to give up, refused to stop fighting, and refused to allow her soul to be enslaved. About the author: Jessica McCann's work as an award-winning journalist has been published in Business Week, The Writer, and many other publications. All Different Kinds of Free is her first novel. Learn more about McCann online at www.jessicamccann.com. Members Reviews: Gripping emotional story!Starts slow but worth it. The author unfolds a remarkable story about the emotional trail of the characters. The story starts slow but provides realistic details necessary for the plot. The narration is good. I highly recommend the book to those who enjoy realistic historical fiction. Overall I was just greatful for the coverage Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I think the listening time was well spent hearing that there was a black woman named Margret Morgan, who dared to fight back for her freedom. I think it was worth listening just to hear her story. But I would probably encourage you to read it on your own. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I felt like the dialect and language was not appropriate. Ive read a lot of period novels and Im always baffled with the way the English language has transformed over the years. But in this book I didnt feel like the language transplanted me into Pennsylvania in the 1830s. I kept feeling like some of the dialect that was used by the slaves for instance at the Bean plantation was not quite right. Not even whites in the South used those words in those days (at least not in the ones I have read). I kept feeling like, Margret wouldnt say that As I mentioned previously this was just my impression, you may not agree.I just didn't feel like I was in Pennsylvania, Maryland or anywhere else in the South. What do you think the narrator could have done better? The narrator has a great voice but I felt like her rendition was a little too melodic and slightly disconnected from the character. I enjoyed the beginning, her ecstasy with freedom was very apparent and in my mind appropriate. However, when she started to discuss her anguish with losing her children it sounded much the same (her tone). I would have enjoyed the story more if the narrator would have abandoned her open mic performance. I dont know that is just my opinion.

But there is about to be a new contender to the throne of ghetto antics. Malika is a young, single mother trying to make a life in public housing. When she meets Teddy, she has new hope for the future. The only problem is, hes already married. Guccis fiancé is now a rising star in the music industry. Shes thrilled when his tour brings him to New York. But she doesnt know its more than music bringing him back. After her apartment mysteriously burns down, Tionna is relocated to a plush high rise in Upper Manhattan. She is pulling her life together when a ghost from her past appears. Don is making money hand over fist with the artists hes signed to Big Dawg Entertainment. Just when he thinks his life cant get any sweeter, someone tries to take it. Members Reviews: Can't wait for the next book I really enjoyed this series and can't wait to read the next book. The author gives great detail and brings you into each characters life so you feel involved. Can't wait for the next one!!! I truly did enjoy this book. After listening to Section 8, I was hooked on this series. I loved the characters, especially Animal, as they kept me on the edge of my seat. That man is a beast! At times it was hard to get into the story with the narrator playing both male and female voices as well distinguishing what one character said from another, but I'm sure a re-listen would clarify. I do wish there was more going on with Tionna, but what Gucci was going through made up for it. She really should have chilled out. Those two detectives hounding Animal and his crew got on my nerves as did Malika's son for being hard headed. We never find out who shot Don B, but we did find out he is a punk! I was surprised to learn after further researching on the author, that there are two more books in the Hoodrat series, Hoodrat & Still Hood. It seems also that all of the author's books are tied to one another. I just love stories like that where the plot thickens. In addition, I was happy to find out that there in another book to come called Eviction Notice. I hope audible.com would consider putting all of K'wan's books on here as I would surely listen. I love this book! The story, the narrator, it all worked! This book left me wanting more, I can't wait for the next installment. Great Story terrible narrator the story was awsome but Cary messed up with he's idea of what the charters should sound like! Where is Animal Book was real good Animal was da bomb but the ending was not expected cant wait for the sequel

On the surface, Jada's life is back on track - she's battled her demons, her son is a permanent part of her life - but it still feels like she's on shaky ground. What she really needs to settle her soul is to have Born back in her life - and in her arms - again. But reuniting with the man she loves is proving to be the hardest thing she's ever fought for. And when a brutal and shocking event tests the foundation of Jada and Born's resolve, it will take every drop of willpower they possess to stay on top. Members Reviews: A great ending to this series. If you could sum up All Falls Down in three words, what would they be? FANTASIC, WONDERFUL, MAGNIFICENT Who was your favorite character and why? I have to say Born and Jada, I love them together. They are soul mates. Power Couple. What about Nicole Smalls performance did you like? I love the way she brings each person to life. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? YES!!! Born and Sheldon. That was the best part of the book for me. He did what he needed to do to get his women back. Any additional comments? This was a fantastic ending to the White Lines series. I love this book. A wonderful read. This book made me so emotional in so may ways. I need more of Born and Jada in my life. Hopefully this will not be the last I hear from them. I LOVED IT! Awesome!!!!# This was by far her best book. The way she tied in all the characters from previous novels was brilliant. All I can say is this is a must read Proceed with caution White lines III Slow to start, almost returned, but I stuck with it - glad I continued reading, it ended much better than it began. Because I have been following the series, I was a bit cloudy on some of the characters, but that could just be me. I honestly was confused in some parts but it all came together. My reference is proceed with caution. I think Im done with the series. Not a bad read if you stick to it. amazimg I've enjoyed all 3 books such a great story line , leaves me wanting more loved it Omg this was a great ending! I read all 3 parts and I must say I felt this series!! From happiness to tears.

Title: The Woman Next Door Subtitle: A Novel Author: Yewande Omotoso Narrator: Adjoa Andoh Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 02-17-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 60 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Hortensia James and Marion Agostino are neighbours. One is black, one white. Both are successful women with impressive careers. Both have recently been widowed. And both are sworn enemies, sharing hedge and hostility and pruning both with a vim and zeal that belie the fact that they are over 80. But one day an unforeseen event forces the women together. And gradually the bickering and sniping soften into lively debate, and from there into memories shared. But could these sparks of connection ever transform into friendship? Or is it too late to expect these two to change? Members Reviews: Brilliant, Insightful, Lyrical!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narration was impeccable and I marveled at the narrator's facility with so many different accents and dialects. The storytelling was engaging and captivating. The author is clearly a keen observer of human personality and relational processes . She also offered an incisive and piercing critique of the devastatingly profound damage that racism, and in particular Apartheid, has had on the human psyche of whites and the bodies and hearts of Blacks . The fact that the author was able to do so with such insight, tenderness, candor, vulnerability, and humor, is remarkable. This is beautiful storytelling with depth and complexity both emotionally and culturally. I've never been to South Africa, but as an African-American, I can so relate to experiencing the sting of racism....it's like walking around with thousands of paper cuts that then turn into festering wounds because there's no time to tend to the healing of one before being made to suffer another racist indignity. Racism is such a part of the fabric of this culture, as is most white people's massive denial of it and its impact. I applaud the author's capacity to write about this topic without being preachy by embedding painful truths about Apartheid in the life stories of ordinary people who represent the oppressed and the oppressing as well as their intersection. Probably deserves 5 stars instead of 4... ...because I despise books with unlikable narrators and this book has two--Marion (White South African) and Hortensia (Black, from Barbados via London via Nigeria) and I so enjoyed the story of these two elderly ladies (in their 80s) and their not-so-neighborly relationship. Ultimately, if not likeable, the reader at least understands why they are the way they are and empathizes. As well, the progression of their relationship to enemies to...where they end up, shall we say, was so well done. The audio narrator: Loved her, although I will say, the accent she gives Marion is like nothing I've heard before. Was it supposed to be someone who spoke Afrikaans as a first language and this is the accent when speaking English? I've heard South Africans speak and they don't sound this odd. But I went with it. If nothing else, it was quite interesting! Underwhelmed This book wasn't what I expected based on the reviews. I'm still try to figure out what was the author's intention for writing this. There was no great lessons or beautiful relationship forged. Just two grouchy women that grew to be grouchy friends. Waste of a credit I can't imagine reading this book without the two distinct accents which add so much to the story. the narrator is amazing. Wow!! The Author has a way with writing that grabs you.

Members Reviews: it's ok Not all stories from the book are available, Especially the BEST ONES!! like Tailypo, and Raw Head Bloody Bones lol and a few others Fly Indeed I liked the book cover so I bought this book for a young lady. I started to browse to make sure it was appropriate for her and the book caught me and I found myself reading it from cover to cover. Excellent! Entertaining and educational Would you listen to The People Could Fly again? Why? The stories were fun and in the process my daughter and I learned much from the historic facts included in the audio. What other book might you compare The People Could Fly to and why? Is the first time I read / hear this type of literature. What does Andrew Barnes bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His voice is powerful, magical, it demands your attention. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes. Any additional comments? Great for quality time with your young one. Great dialogue starter. fun and informative Is there anything you would change about this book? I didn't care for the narrator.'s voice The music between segments seemed really loud in comparison to the narration Would you recommend The People Could Fly to your friends? Why or why not? Yes The history of the different stories was very interestingI enjoyed the tales. But I love the Uncle Remus any way.My father used a lot of the techinques of the American Black folklore in his story telling when I was a child. So this made me think about my father a lot. Did Andrew Barnes do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? You really didn't need to differentate the characters as there we usually only two peopleinvolved within the narative Could you see The People Could Fly being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? NoIt did make me think of the movie Song of the SouthI wish that Disney would release it again. It's part of our history and the tales just make you smile. Any additional comments? I did like the book and will more than likely listen to it again. I rarely listen or read a book more than once Good narrator, disappointing stories Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The narration was enjoyable. The stories seemed better suited to children. All in all I am ambivalent about wheter the time I listened to the stories was well spent. For stories supposedly from African-Americans I didn't get the impression they were that authenic. Would you recommend The People Could Fly to your friends? Why or why not? Not really. The stories were not compelling, in my view. What does Andrew Barnes bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book? Excellent portrayal of dialects. Clear wording. He added a lot to the story experience. Was The People Could Fly worth the listening time? One or two stories were very entertaining. I especially liked the story about two Johns. And the tale was less than 4 hours.

Angry arguments between Celine and her husband, Keith, have become routine. She resents that he's working long hours and staying out all night, and he accuses her of not giving him the attention he deserves. Their marriage is at a crossroads, and Celine worries how her 10-year-old daughter, Kassie, will be affected. But the situation turns devastating when Celine is diagnosed with breast cancer. As her relationship with Keith deteriorates, Celine worries that she'll be left to navigate the difficult process of cancer treatment alone. But comfort and support come in the form of Celine's best friend, Lauren. They've been attached at the hip since they were children, and it is Lauren who's there for Celine in her darkest moments. Now Celine will be forced to make tough decisions - about her marriage and otherwise - and for the first time in her life, she wants to give up. Lauren vows to help by any means necessary and makes the kind of sacrifice only a best friend can. But will it be too late? Members Reviews: A bit rushed Is there anything you would change about this book? Yes ..the ending was rushed as if author remembered it was a novella and wanted to wrap it up How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? This novella should have been made it a novel. What does Maria Howell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrator was excellent..actually the reason I gave a decent rating Do you think Best Friends Forever needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No need the main character is forgettable. Any additional comments? I expected more from author..disappointed..I actually pre-ordered. Decent Read What did you love best about Best Friends Forever? I liked the plot because one element thrown into the mix made the scenario seem like more than a typical marital problem. Who was your favorite character and why? Lauren - simply because of her consistency and reliability, though perhaps to a fault. However, those are traits most people want in a close friend. Did the narration match the pace of the story? The narration matched the pace, but narrator sounded a bit unnatural and robotic at times. Very inconsistent compared to her reading in another Roby novel I've listened to. If you could rename Best Friends Forever, what would you call it? Do Unto Others Any additional comments? This is my first time reading a novella by Roby. While I have enjoyed all of her novels, this novella ended too abruptly and seemed to be missing something. This would have been better as a novel. thumbs up all the way, especially enjoyed Maria Howell's amazing narration. Will be listing to everything she does Great read!! Loved it!! I really enjoyed the flow of the story. I highly recommend this book for a great read. One of my favorite authors Very good book. I enjoyed the storyline, the realism and the Christian faith of the main characters.

Title: Torn Between a Goon and a Gangsta 2 Author: Jade Jones Narrator: Katt Kampbell Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-16 Publisher: Jaded Publications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Where there is love, there is also hate, jealousy, and resentment among longtime friends Dre, Nikki, and Hassan. A carefully planned home invasion was meant to go smoothly, but an unforeseen turn of events ultimately leads to bloodshed. Nothing is what it seems and no one can be trusted when it comes to the love of the almighty dollar. Filled with drama, love triangles, and a plethora of deadly secrets, Torn Between a Goon and Gangsta 2 gives new meaning to the phrase, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". Members Reviews: wasn't too bad this follow up wasn't too bad, just very predictable and at times it left you upset on how naive the characters are. but I still enjoyed it. ready for the next part. Gripping Drama but VERY EXPLICIT SEX AND VIOLENCE! What made the experience of listening to Torn Between a Goon and a Gangsta 2 the most enjoyable? First, I want to say that I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. When I saw that it was the second book in a series, I decided to first listen to Book 1, because I was concerned about starting the series in in the middle of the action. However, my concern was unnecessary. While it was helpful to listen to Book 1 first, in my opinion, Book 2 can certainly stand on its own. My review for this book mirrors my review for Book 1, as they both caused me to have the same feelings and reactions. Katt Kampbell was an excellent narrator, and I would definitely search out more books narrated by her. I am sure that I would not have enjoyed the book nearly as much if I had simply read the pages--her narration really made the characters come alive. I loved Carl Atkins' narration of Book 1, and thought that any other narrator would have a hard time following his work. This was particularly true because while both books have many of the same characters, and the characters take turns telling the story from their point of view-- Book 1 is narrated by a man, and Book 2 is narrated by a woman. I wasn't sure how that would work, because sometimes those transitions can be quite jarring. However, I needn't have worried. Katt and Carl both did great work, and I honestly cannot even say which one I enjoyed better! They also both did an equally good job with using different voices or vocal styles to differentiate between the characters, so that I always heard different voices during the dialogue scenes. Finally, both Katt and Carl did a great job of voicing opposite sex characters, so that Carl's women didn't sound too high or ridiculous, and Katt's men didn't sound too butch or too silly. Unfortunately however, both of them made the same mistake of failing to use adequate pauses and spacing between the scenes. Often, I would be listening to a scene about one character, and it would seem to just magically morph into a scene involving another character. A little artful spacing or use of silence or pauses would have helped immensely with those transitions, because with audiobooks, all we have is the narration to help set the scene and keep the numerous details straight in our minds. It's not like we can easily flip back a few paragraphs to realize that we have changed characters and perspectives. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I thought this was a well-done book, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

In fact, she was damn proud of it. Starting rumors, yeah she did that. Five-finger discounts, yeah, she and her five-year-old daughter did that. Sleeping with friends and family's men, yep, that's her. Starting Facebook brawls? Hell yeah, why not? To fights and having her house shot up, yep been there done that. Did she give a rat's tiny balls? Nope! Members Reviews: I want a refund This book had too much and nothing going on. I love to read and listen to a good story but it had too many characters and not enough of a good plot. I want my time and money back. Whack!!! This book was so boring and the narrated made it even worse. I have no idea what this book was about it didnt make sense at all! It sure is MESSY I had to re-listen to this book a few times because there were numerous characters who's names would pop, and it was hard to remember who some of these people were. That is one reason why this book is in my so so category. This book is definitely filled with A LOT of messiness and drama. The performance was just ok though. I do believe it needs a little better editing because I definitely heard a lot of repeated sentences, but as you know I love Cee Scott voice. Overall this book is just ok. I do want to find out what happens next since I did find myself connecting to some of the characters, but I would pass on this one. You may find yourself a little lost from time to time. It is full of messy ratchetness though.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 229 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: For years Lou-Loc, an efficient assassin and OG of the Crip organization, did dirt. After dancing on the razor's edge, he has become weary of the street life that has consumed him during his service to his set and begins to wonder if there's a better way to make a living. Lou-Loc and his sociopath counterpart, Gutter, leave Los Angeles for the colorful streets of New York, where Lou-Loc has dreams of becoming a writer, Gutter a kingpin. Conflicting, intriguing, and suspenseful, this novel will keep you on the edge of your seat - once you start it, you won't stop. Members Reviews: AWESOME Spoiler Alert! first thing first. I already knew St. Louis was going to die. Because the people who already read this book said he died. I just didn't know how he died. heck I was angry as a granny catching her husband f#kin the mail lady. I'm reading this book like I already know he's going to died. heck why can't they just let Lou-Loc live I really liked him. and I think Satin actually change him more. plus I was so freaking happy when Martina got what she deserve lord knows I couldn't stand that grimy heifer. No good stanky thing lmao. and Sisqo got what he deserved to thank the LORD!!! What's wrong with this narrator? How do you mess up the main characters' name every other minute?! This is almost disgusting! ! Main character's name is Lou-Loc. the "o" gets a long sound pronunciation. but this guy suddenly started calling him Lou-Lock! He would do it for 5 minutes, and then go back to calling him Lou-Loc. Now if you have a producer....shouldn't they have caught that?! Also he had characters speaking in voices that didn't fit their character. The girl Satin was supposed to be a bit classy, but at times he would have her voice sounding like the ratchet females in the story. poor narrating on the simple things is what turned me off. Worst of all K'wan I did not read K'wan Novels in chronological order so after the Animal series and black lotus this was a let down. if I had read this first I may not have read the others, which were great. Always an excellent read. K'wan has amazing storytelling abilities. I can't wait to listen to Gutter. Book is recommended. Story flowed nicely Where does Gangsta rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It would rank somewhere in the middle. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I always love when a book has rounded, well developed, relatable characters. This book had likeable characters that you don't always agree with. Also, the ending was a bit unpredictable. Which character as performed by Cary Hite was your favorite? Gutta...hands down! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The ending Any additional comments? There were some supernatural elements that were not explained. I wish they would have gone into detail and explained what was going on. I am looking forward to the next book.

I really wanted Gutter to live but I already knew he was going to die. And I was sad when C-Style and Hollywood died. smh at least they weren't traders like Pop-top punk self was. he wasn't even a real G. tbh he was a p I knew he was up to no good. I was like something about him . like how you gone side with the enemy. I was so glad his ugly self died. at least the others died for the set except Pop-top. I was weak listening to this book on audible. because when Lol Gun killed Major BLOOD ! he said this is for my daddy biotch lmao. Good book I have this book both on audible and paperback. but since I'm in college I could barely read the book so glad I tried out audible and have it a try. I use to hate audio books . Love Cary Hite Narration This book was funny and heartbreaking. Cary does well with bring a story to life. Sometimes your life ends up there! K'wan! What can I say? As usual you never fail to entertain! In the world of gangs, retaliation and death. The author introduces us to two characters raised in the streets to become legends in their own time. But sometimes your decision leads to a black suits and dreams deferred! Is there redemption at the end of the black cloud surrounding these 2 big baller, shot callers? Or will their lives end up in the Gutter! Awesome This book was well read by Cary Hite. I was on emotional roller coaster. Well done K'wan!!! live by gun..die by gun it shows you..how you live is how you will die and every dog will get his or hers

The Perfect Mistress Audiobook by ReShonda Tate Billingsley

Title: The Perfect Mistress Author: ReShonda Tate Billingsley Narrator: Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 07-05-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 376 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Lauren Robinson knows exactly what it takes to be the perfect mistress. She had a front-row seat when she tagged along with her father on all of his extramarital trysts. She loved keeping Daddy's special secrets, but many family members, especially her mother, consider her an accomplice in helping break up their family. This emotional distance and Lauren's early dating experiences lead her to date married men. That is until Dr. Matthew King enters the scene, and when Matthew proposes marriage, Lauren happily accepts. But as their very public engagement makes the news, someone is intent on sabotaging their relationship. Someone who watched her own marriage destroyed by Lauren and won't be happy until she gives Lauren a taste of her own medicine. Members Reviews: Perfect depiction of a life lesson I liked many things about the book. The characters were realistic, the story was easy to follow but not simplistic, the story was unpredictable, and, most of all, the story was an excellent depiction of the natural law, biblical principle, spiritual principle (whichever one prefers to call it) that you reap what you sow, what you put out comes back to you, what goes around comes around (however one prefers to articulate it). Also, the narrator was excellent (which is not usually the case with Ms. Billingsley's audiobooks). The only thing I did not like about the book is that although I understood the main characters and what caused them to become who they were, I did not like any of them. I would recommend this book to readers/listeners who like realistic, scandalous stories that reinforce life lessons. Karma is a B**ch This story was crazy but I really enjoyed it! It really teaches you to try and do the right thing because the tables always turn. Wow!!! This book is PACKED with excitement! It kept me clenched to the edge of my seat!!!! I couldn't stop listening!!!! Okay book with great moments The book was ok, started to get predictable. Figured out who the antagonist was pretty early. Lacks character development for ALL of the characters. Overall it was ok. Overall not bad. The reader made this book worth listening too. The story seemed a bit repetitive at some points. The characters were not developed fully both visually and emotionally.

Through Black Spruce Audiobook by Joseph Boyden

Title: Through Black Spruce Author: Joseph Boyden Narrator: James Jenner Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-09 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 145 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Joseph Boyden's first novel, Three Day Road, was a Today Show Book Club selection. Through Black Spruce is the exceptional follow-up to his acclaimed debut. Cree bush pilot Will Bird lies comatose in a hospital, while his wayward niece Annie arrives to sit in silent vigil by his side. Slowly their stories reveal two people previously separated by great distances, beaten and broken, and searching for some sense of where they belong in the world. ©2008 Joseph Boyden (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Critic Reviews: "[A]n intelligent, multilayered accomplishment, and well worth reading." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A pleasure to listen to The author acknowledges native life, and its shortcomings, but it doesn't own his characters, or the book. Very realistic wilderness scenarios, not tidy, nor idyllic. Exceptionally well read, wonderful parallels between predators in the many worlds inhabited by the characters. Would love to listen to Boyden's first book " Three Day Road" A writer to watch This is a really fine book. Having read Boyden's previous book, Three Day Road, I wondered how the narrator would handle the "Cree English' dialogue that makes Boyden's writing so authentic. He got it right, in my opinion. Both of his books have changed, forever, my understanding of the impact of European settlement on First Nation's people, without feeling that I was being preached to. Joseph Boyden is one talented writer. Great Listen A slow start to this listen had me close to moving on to another book. I am glad to stick it out as the book slowly grabbed and held me more and more the longer I listened. Two great narrators, and a great blend of characters and plot that leaves you guessing what will happen. I connected with many of the characters. Poor choice of Narrator for a good book Is there anything you would change about this book? The people who were chosen to read this book were all wrong. They make this book boring. What did you like best about this story? The insight into the everyday life of First Nations people. How did the narrator detract from the book? A Cree or Ojibwa person would have been a much better choice. The narrator's that have been chosen drains the life from this story. Was Through Black Spruce worth the listening time? I could not get through the entire book. The narration was too sterile. Any additional comments? This is a good book. Black Spruce depicts some aspects of the culture and themes that are important to Cree and Ojibwa today. Engaging story and effective narrators I found the story slow at the beginning, but it really picked up after several chapters and was worth sticking with. The two narrators do a good job of portraying Annie and her uncle, Will. There's a lot to think about in this novel: the traditional vs. the modern; the city vs. the wilderness; solitude vs. community and friendship; aboriginal vs. non-aboriginal culture. It's an entertaining but meaty listen/read.

Thorn's Challenge Audiobook by Brenda Jackson

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 227 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Atlanta's Westmoreland men were notoriously easy on the eyes, but champion motorcycle racer Thorn Westmoreland exuded a heat that could melt metal. Rugged and moody, he was a loner betrayed by love, a man committed to staying in control - until he met Dr. Tara Matthews. It wasn't every day that the sexiest man on earth appeared at her door, looking like God's gift in a black leather jacket. And Tara's chances of playing it cool with a man as hot as Thorn were about as good as a snowball's in hell. But when Tara reversed roles in their game of seduction, what were the odds of Thorn - the ultimate bad boy - coming out on top? Members Reviews: Thorn-my deepest temptation What made the experience of listening to Thorn's Challenge the most enjoyable? The storyline. I loved the storyline but the narration did not do the story justice. Thorn sounded like an old gruff and the brothers sounded like girls. In all, I loved the heat, the passion and the love. What was one of the most memorable moments of Thorn's Challenge? I loved how he always put Tara's needs before his, I loved his proposal at her parents' home, I loved how he put her ex in his place at the race and was the better person for both of their deceitful ways in the past. It was very good listening but the narration took away from it. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? I loved how both Thorn and Tara tried to play the cat and mouse game but when they came together neither of them could resist each other. I loved how Thorn detected she was a virgin but never let on, classy guy!! If you could rename Thorn's Challenge, what would you call it? Thron's sweetest Ride Any additional comments? This was my first Ms Jackson's reading and I loved it. I loved the respect and passion between the characters, the fiery chemistry between Thorn and Tara although they tried to pretend that it wasn't so. I will definitely seek out some more of Ms Jackson's work. I hope she will take her readers advice and work on the narration. For such a steamy story, it needed strong voices to drive the punches home. No story, poor narration. Would you ever listen to anything by Brenda Jackson again? Maybe, it will depend on the reviews. I should have trusted the reviews by other readers on this one. Would you be willing to try another one of Madison Vaughns performances? No. I did not like her choices in the voices for the male characters. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Thorn's Challenge? I can not say. Could not listen for more than 10 minutes the first time.

Since the publication of E. Lynn Harris's stunning debut novel, Invisible Life, millions of readers have laughed, cried, and anguished along with his unforgettable cast of characters. Now, his growing legions of fans will finally find out what happens in this delicious conclusion to the "Invisible Life" trilogy. In Abide with Me, Harris returns with the utmost finesse to his signature themes of love, friendship, and family, and craftily guides his irresistible characters through new challenges and heartbreaks, and ultimately to redemption through love. At the end of Just As I Am, Raymond Tyler, Jr., was beginning a relationship with Trent, a fraternity brother from his college days, while Nicole had found love with Jared, Raymond's buddy from Atlanta. As Abide with Me opens, Raymond and Trent are settled in Seattle, where Trent's career as an architect has blossomed and Raymond's law practice is booming. All seems well. Then, late one night, Raymond gets a call from a United States Senator that threatens everything he's built. Raymond, facing a crisis of faith, travels to New York hoping for the support of his best friend, Jared, who's moved North after five years in Atlanta. His wife, Nicole, is performing in a revival of Dreamgirls, her lifelong fantasy at last coming true. Nicole is thrilled to return to the stage, but when things start to go wrong, her young and beautiful understudy, Yancey Harrington Braxton, steps into the spotlight a little too smoothly. And Nicole, far from achieving her dream, is suddenly forced to reevaluate her life and her marriage. Back, too, are the other beloved inhabitants of Harris's world: Raymond's family; the sexy and dangerous gray-eyed sportscaster and ex-football player, John Basil Henderson; and Peaches, the spirited owner of the Harlem shop Cuts 'n' Cobblers and the mother of Raymond's late friend Kyle. In Abide with Me, Harris once again encourages his readers to live, love, and dream. His masterful storytelling, wit, and sensitivity permeate this enormously satisfying novel, which is both a tribute to his loyal following and an invitation to a new audience to enter his irresistible world. His "unique spin on the ever-fascinating topics of identity, class, intimacy, sexuality, and friendship" (Vibe) will once more put E. Lynn Harris at the top of the best-seller lists. Members Reviews: Like the book Every several years I get the urge to reread his books as I like them that much. This time I thought I use unused credits to listen. My only knock, I really didn't like the vocal tones as he shifted from character to character. I would have preferred he not shift tone. EXCEPTIONAL READ I loved every minute of this book. Each and every character was fantastic! Loved the ending! must have This is a heart stopper on so many levels. will make you fall in love with Harris. ANOTHER FINE JOB Mirron Willis is absolutely & wonderfully talented! I can't get enough of him. The book is also wonderful, and I look forward to more to come. For me, if the narrator isn't likeable, no matter how good the book, I just can't listen through it. Thank you, Mr. Willis! Stella The narrator's voice made my skin crawl! Big fan of the late Mr. Harris but the narration killed the whole story for me.

I didn't like that because the guy didn't do the voices the same forgetting that gladiator had an English accent that bothered me lol Edge of your seat good! Where does Animal 3: Revelations rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It tops the charts! Who was your favorite character and why? All of the characters are great. I like the line that Red Sonya told Gucci " you have killed, but I am a killer" Red Sonya is a trip.... Classic! I couldn't wait to hear the rest of the book.... Which character as performed by Cary Hite was your favorite? I can't just pick one character because they all bring different attributes to the story line! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I did! It was hard for me to go to bed because the story line was so good...... Any additional comments? I can't wait until the next book is released!!!! Great job. ****CEREBRAL***** If you could sum up Animal 3: Revelations in three words, what would they be? Once again KWAN writes another masterpiece. Real life for the real ones. Which character as performed by Cary Hite was your favorite? Sonya is my girl. Carla is who i respect. too many full flashbacks!!! most of the book was flashbacks talking about what happen in the previous books.... ughhh... when he got back on track the book was good!!

Members Reviews: Didn't like the narration The narration was very stilted and at times I was too distracted by this to enjoy the story. TERRIBLE Narrator, and ok story The basics of the story were interesting, but the heroine was so insipid that you just wanted to choke her! ( figuratively, of course) The time jumps were a little jarring. But basically, the narrator was so boring that it made the book boring. I'm curious as to whether or not I would have liked the book better if I had read it in print format. I'm sure I couldn't have liked it any less. too graphic narrator was wonderful. at times I thought the sex scenes were needlessly and disturingly graphic. Narration was worse than the writing. The narration of this book makes this even more unbearable to get through. The only good thing about "The Daughter of Union County" was that is was free. Couldnt finish So dull.... couldnt force myself to finish it... dont waste your credit! Wish I could return it!

No one knew about the court-ordered sessions that Kyron was forced to attend. At least not until Mari, his woman who stuck by him throughout the majority of his prison bid, dropped the recordings off to Trae Macklin, Tasha's husband. Mari never got closure over Kyron's death. She couldn't understand why Kaylin wasn't more distraught than he was over his brother's death. Her anger built over Tasha using Kyron, and now, seeing Tasha was happily reunited with her husband, it was about to explode. She had it all. But that was soon to come to an end. Her happily-ever-after would be short-lived. Mari had in her possession transcripts of taped sessions of Kyron and the psychologist, unbeknownst to Kyron, which would shed light on Tasha's relationship with Kyron - and with an anaconda smile, she places those transcripts directly in Trae's hands for his consumption. Mari has a few dirty tricks up her sleeve. Nothing's off-limits. What other nasty surprises is she planning?

So You Call Yourself a Man Audiobook by Carl Weber

Title: So You Call Yourself a Man Author: Carl Weber Narrator: various Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 01-11-07 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 381 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: All's good for James and Cathy until a woman shows up with James' love child. Suave Brent thinks he's found happiness with a born-again churchgoer - until another leads him into temptation. And longtime friend Sonny is going to need help from James and Brent if he's to have any hope of salvaging his marriage. New York Times best-selling author Carl Weber amps up the sexiness and pulse-quickening drama in this riveting novel. Critic Reviews: "A raucous 'desperate husbands' story line, co-starring crazy baby mamas, shady churchgoers, and various deranged personalities, ups the conflict quotient significantly." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Really Good Novel with some twists and turns I don't read a lot of AA novels. I believe this is my first read by Carl Weber and chose it because of the good reviews that other readers had given it. This is not your typical formulaic African American novel. I enjoy AA novels but sometimes I think that they are pretty much the same: who's cheating on who and how beautiful everybody's body is, and the hot attractive couple getting together for the first time, etc. This story, however, brought something really different along with a sprinkling of the usual beautiful descriptions of the characters bodies, etc. It is not your typical AA story. I liked how the author held back on providing a piece of info about one of the characters, even tho the character had made a statement earlier on that gave me a clue to twist that he later brought into the story. The narrators (3) did a good job. This is an enjoyable novel. Recommend. Truth be told People aren't always who they portray themselves to be. I have read all of the audiobooks available on audible from Carl Weber and now I am able to piece all the stories together and I have a background view about the characters in different books and I realize that this is a small world. I understand the connections and stories in the Choir Director a lot better now that I see the Jackie Robinson connection. Wow! Carl you did an awesome job writing about this community of people in Jamaica, New York. I can truly relate to a couple of the characters and the tragedy that happened in the book opened my eyes to see how insane people can become. I was in an abusive relationship myself once upon a time and I can't even imagine having to go through the things the young lady in the book had to encounter the steps some men go to make a woman's life a living hell. I left because I was ready to go and tired of the environment I had become use to but it was no where near as drastic as the things that I have heard people going through and I did have the opportunity to walk away without feeling a major financial loss or the feeling of worthless... CARL WEBER you are my all time fave author. This book was pretty good and I'm glad to see my question about the baby Marcus in Player Haters was answered cause I wanted to know what happened next. The narrators are phenominal as usual and the book kept me wanting to listen to the whole story. Good read Skeletons In Your Closet!! Hey, and you think women have skeletons in their closets. Men are just as tainted. I enjoyed this book because it revealed "alot".....well, "too much" about some of men's secrets, tendencies, and weaknesses.

He knows they shouldn't have to keep their relationship a secret, and he'll follow her around the world to prove it. Fourteen days on a cruise ship - just Aidan, Jillian, and the deep blue sea - and a passion that won't be denied. Members Reviews: Great love story, hot, great narrator I wanted more , Brenda Jackson did it again , love her books , more , couldn't stop listening, great book and great narrator!!! Fantastic Book I love all of the Westmoreland books as well as the Steele books The narrator did an awesome job. Way Too Predictable-Pointless Read What would have made The Secret Affair better? There were no twists. There were really only three scenes in the entire book. I could've determined the middle & ending from the beginning of the book had I known in advance that it had no real substance. What do you think your next listen will be? My next listen will probably never be another Brenda Jackson novel. I'm so sorry to say that, because she mentioned FAMU in the book. I wanted to give her a good review just because, but the I just can't. The book was not boring. She's good at creating a scene, but the storyline is just awful. Which character as performed by Shari Peele was your favorite? None of them. What character would you cut from The Secret Affair? All of them. Any additional comments? The book was just all wrong. It could be summarized in three sentences. I didn't stop until the book was finished... The narrator kept me interested. I'm a sucker for a good romance book whether it's audible or old fashioned read from a book. Never fails to entertain Great read as always keeps you hooked to the ready to read Brenda's next book.

The Fix 2 is I,n and the game is afoot! The past few months have been a living hell for Persia. Seemingly overnight, she has fallen from grace and found herself scraping rock bottom, all in the name of two lovers - Chucky and cocaine. One was supposed to love her and the other take away the pain, but they've both fallen short on their promises. The last time she saw either one of them was the night she almost lost her life. It has taken a bout of physical therapy and a stint in a rehabilitation center for Persia to be able to start pulling together the pieces of the life she almost ruined. She's living at home with her mother and stepfather and is refocused on school. For the first time in what seems like forever, she is finally able to enjoy life as an average teenage girl trying to graduate from high school. That's when they get the phone call that sends everything to the left. As Persia struggles with her demons, her childhood friend, Li'l Monk, is embracing his. Under the tutelage of the vicious crime lord Ramses, Li'l Monk is quickly making his way through the ranks of the Pharaoh's army and creating a name for himself on the streets as a ruthless killer. Just as his father, Big Monk, had always predicted, he is walking a mile in his daddy's bloody shoes. As cold as Li'l Monk's heart is, however, he still has a soft spot for his old friends. When a childhood pal comes to him for a favor, Li'l Monk finds himself with blood on his hands and dirt on his name. When the double cross knocks him out of favor with Ramses, Li'l Monk is left with two options: kill or die. K'wan delivers another instant street classic that is sure to keep him at the top of the charts. Members Reviews: Frustrated Good book, but I'm tried of that punk Chuckey getting away with everything. I would like him to get his punishment already. Also I am not a big fan of the narrator who I know is actually Patricia R Floyd Too short Too short, left me antipating is Chucky going to get what's coming to him. Persia don't be stupid. The Fix is getting real good I'm downloading 3 now This book 2 is something else i tell you nothing but 7 on his ding a ling and she's sucking it off like a pro more he think he's got her in the palms of his f Chucky returns What made the experience of listening to The Fix 2 the most enjoyable? The character Chucky and Persia finally seeming to develop as a character What did you like best about this story? The development of Persia as a character. Have you listened to any of Soozi Cheyennes other performances before? How does this one compare? This is one of the best performance due to her abilities to get into the character. If you could rename The Fix 2, what would you call it? Chucky and Persia- an awakening book was good but..... I like the book but I hated how the author had to recount what happened in the fix 1 with every character that was introduced..I had to skip those parts.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: In the era of Rembrandt, Rubens, and Van Dyke, Spain had its own great painter: Diego Velasquez. His assistant is an African slave, Juan, who, by helping his master in his studio in the preparation of paints and stretching of canvasses, becomes an artist himself. Self-taught by watching his master's technique, he is torn between the need to keep his secret, for such work as the creation of art is forbidden to slaves, and the desire to reveal his own talents. ©1965 Elizabeth Borton de Trevino; (P)1998 Blackstone Audiobooks Members Reviews: Beautiful, just beautiful! We chose this book from the suggested literature list in The Story of the World, Activity Book 3: Early Modern Times. I had never heard of the book and with younger children, we decided to use the audio version. I am so glad we did! As a read-a-loud to the children it would have lacked the fluid speech that this book deserves. The narrator brings Juan to life in a way that I never could have done. My children are 10, 8 and 6. There were a few points in the book where I needed to stop and explain the situation. Also, the scene in the monastery where there is a discussion about live models for the crucifixes required some discussion about death, life and customs of the times. The book itself is tragic, painful, heart-wrenching and beautiful. At times there are beatings and cruelty, yet there is a greater priority on love and redemption. It is a rich and beautiful story of a slave looking back on his life. Without giving anything away, we shed many tears together during this book. I will say this, only two chapters in, the children were asking if we could listen to the book several times over! It was just beautiful! We will gladly listen again and again! a must for History or Art lovers This is what a living history book should be. ..full of imagination based in strong historic events. We loved looking up the works of Art as we journeyed through Juan's story! Really a must read for your 1600-1700 history time frame to get a look inside Spanish life, other artists, slavery, and such. truly moving and a favorite of the whole family! Excellent! The narrator did a wonderful job! This YA historical fiction is not going to be a page turner like some others but the story is intriguing, making you feel as if you are there. The writing is excellent and the book left me with the desire to know more about its characters! Loved it! Classic If you could sum up I, Juan de Pareja in three words, what would they be? If I could sum up this story in 3 words it would be classic, inspiring, and moving. Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character was Juan because he always seemed helpful and joyful, even in the most dire situations. Have you listened to any of Johanna Wards other performances before? How does this one compare? No. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? If I, Juan de Pareja was a film, the tag line should be:"An inspiring moment." Any additional comments? Listen to it or read the book. It will not be a waste of your time.

Far removed from marble monuments and the offices of rich politicians, the nation's capital that Jones captures is inhabited by self-willed African-Americans struggling to live their lives as best they can. Members Reviews: CHAOS AND MORAL IDIOCY Extremely well written. Entertaining. Sometimes funny. Overall impression: let me out of here; I don't belong here; I went to Sunday School and college and my folks never even got a parking ticket! Why would I want to read about low-lifes buying a house for momma with drug money! Or married people who cheat on one another in the most destructive way. Or a Social Security office that calls the old lady back repeatedly and makes her wait for hours! You had me, Mr. Jones, and you lost me but good. I'm really sorry. FORCED myself to finish these stoies It was disturbing to hear a series of dark stories of low-life vulgar characters, with few redeeming qualities. I kept hoping to eventually find a story of hope, love, bravery, chivalry..something uplifting. The 1st story of the girl with the pigeons had promise, but soon turned dark also. Not my kind if reading.

California Cooper Narrator: Donna Bailey, Susan Spain, Kim Staunton, Peter Fernandez, Starla Benford Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 87 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Critics have compared her work to that of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, but J. California Cooper has a warm, witty style thats definitely her own. Each of her short stories is a gem of downhome wisdom, polished with a bit of gossip, some heartbreak, and lots of humor. In "Funny Valentines" a "simple" woman draws one heart on Valentines Day and divides it among the people she loves, until all but one of them lies in the cemetery. "Living" portrays a man in midlife crisis who leaves his loving wife and pleasant country home for a taste of high city living and returns with a new perspective on life. "Spooks" is the tongue-in-cheek tale of a man who masquerades as a ghost in order to outsmart an unscrupulous suitor and win the heart of a vulnerable widow. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and always touching, J. California Coopers characters enlighten us and enrich us as they find love in unlikely places. The warm narrations will give listeners a sense of chatting with nosy but well-meaning neighbors over the back fence. Critic Reviews: "Told in first-person, in a lively, unobtrusive black dialect, these tales, set in both country and city, are lit with wisdom and high-spirited humor." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: comforting.. . i read this book as a child, ironically while home with a broken leg. 24 yrs later, i get to enjoy this again while recovering from knee surgery. a bit of my childhood to enjoy again. the stories are great symbols of love and devotion to loving the person, the kind of love we long for but rarely find. This was great This was an excellent performance. I truly enjoyed the readings from each voice. Very Enjoyable! great collection of short stories. couldn't put it down - can't wait to read again! Great read and Great performance If you could sum up Homemade Love in three words, what would they be? Warms the Soul Who was your favorite character and why? All. Each character comes with their own story. The read should take each story as it's own lesson and not try to make it more. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not listened to other performances by this narrator, however, the narrator was perfect for this book. It almost felt like I was sitting with my grandmother as she told me these stories. If you could take any character from Homemade Love out to dinner, who would it be and why? Not sure about dinner, but I would love to talk with each of them. Any additional comments? This is a great book for a reader that likes to hear about unabridged life. There are ups and downs. The stories do not always happy endings. However, there are typically lessons learned and /or peace found; which makes the stories more real. Classic American Stories If you could sum up Homemade Love in three words, what would they be? This book captures all of the best about life and the stories are moving, funny, and insightful. Need to have more of her work in Audio form What other book might you compare Homemade Love to and why? Most Alice Walker books

Title: Tar Baby Author: Toni Morrison Narrator: Alfre Woodard Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-07 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: It is the black servant couple, who have been with the Streets for years - the fastidious butler, Sydney, and his strong yet remote wife - who have arranged every detail of their existence to create a surface calm broken only by sudden bursts of verbal sparring between Valerian and his wife. There is a visitor among them: a beautiful young black woman, Jadine, who is not only the servant's dazzling niece, but the protegée and friend of the Streets themselves; Jadine, who has been educated at the Sorbonne at Valerian's expense and is home now for a respite from her Paris world of fashion, film, and art. Through a season of untroubled ease, the lives of these five move with a ritualized grace until, one night, a ragged, starving black American street man breaks into the house. And, in a single moment, with Valerian's perverse decision not to call for help but instead to invite the man to sit with them and eat, everything changes. Valerian moves toward a larger abdication. Margaret's delicate and enduring deception is shattered. The butler and his wife are forced into acknowledging their illusions. And Jadine, who at first is repelled by the intruder, finds herself moving inexorably toward him. He calls himself Son, and he is a kind of black man she has dreaded since childhood: uneducated, violent, contemptuous of her privilege. Once again, Toni Morrison has given us a novel of daring, fascination, and power. Critic Reviews: "Deeply perceptive....Return[s] risk and mischief to the contemporary American novel." (The New York Times Book Review) "Arresting images, fierce intelligence, poetic language...One becomes entranced by Toni Morrison's story." (The Washington Post) "Toni Morrison has made herself into the D. H. Lawrence of the black psyche, transforming individuals into forces, idiosyncrasy into inevitability." (New York magazine) Members Reviews: Disappointing I'm an avid admirer of Toni Morrison's work and have absolutely loved all of the previous books by her that I have read. This book was absolutely boring. It took months to force myself to listen to it. Some of the subplots were very undeveloped and led nowhere, just hanging there like untied threads. Basically, everyone just seemed underdeveloped and the book as a whole lacked the depth and character I have come to expect from Ms. Morrison. I love Tonis books! Another great listen! Im making my way through all Toni Morrisons books and Im glad to have listened to this one. Love Love - Miss Toni & Miss Alfre are dear friends of mine in the higher intelligence of my mind. Great Book! Would you listen to Tar Baby again? Why? Yes. To get a better understanding of the characters of the book What other book might you compare Tar Baby to and why? The Darkest Child by Delores Philips. Though the stories are different a couple of the characters from each books remind me of each other. What about Alfre Woodards performance did you like? Her portrayal of each character, how she changes her voice for each one. She never missed a beat the story continued to flow and you knew who the character was by the change of her voice. Great Performance by her, Ms Woodard was the reason I purchased the audio book, one of my favorite actors. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The secret the cook had kept about the lady of the house.

In hopes of escaping the racial bigotry andeconomic injustice of the South, Otis' family journeys north from their plantation to an urban promised land. Once in Chicago, Otis and his siblings become prisoners to a wasteland of violence, crime, prostitution, and rape. This is the gut-wrenching tale of the destruction of a family and the truest portrayal of homosexuality in the ghetto ever told. Members Reviews: Dark, gritty and hard... Awesome! The dark story of a black drag queens personal ( traumatic ) life. Scars the skin and the mind. Intriguing till the end. Imprinted Images In My Mind Forever.. Mama Black Widow is a haunting and gut-wrenching story of a black transvestite who's been through hell, hell's half acre, back to hell, and back to earth. There is no other way to describe this beautiful narrative; beautiful because of the raw truth to it- but terribly ugly when dealing with all of the hate and confusion in the story. When we think of transgender people, people like Caitlyn Jenner come to mind- people who make bold choices with their lifestyles and have glitz, glamour, and popularity. Mama Black Widow shatters that glamorous image and shows the world what things were really like for poor, transgender and gay folks in the past few decades. The journey that one takes with this book's narrative is daunting and incredible. The narration is perfect, the story line made my stomach lurch, my skin crawl, and my eyes water all at the same time. This book is real, gutsy, and completely worth reading or listening to more than once. I appreciate Iceberg Slim and I am honoured to have heard this profound story of struggle and bravery. -Wendi Much better than I recalled It's been years and I remember reading this as a young teenager because it was forbidden. As an adult, the appreciation and understanding of each characters own personal plight is awe inspiring. Iceberg Slim was truly gifted and the narrator did a fantastic job. He's a genius!! If you have not read his series of books shame on you! You have got to check these books out. The plot is amazing and you won't care if its fiction or a documentary of a lifestyle. the mother of all mother If you could sum up Mama Black Widow in three words, what would they be? selfish;motherless; hopeless What was one of the most memorable moments of Mama Black Widow? The way the mother destroyed the life of her daughter when finding out that she was pregnant Have you listened to any of Bobby Spearss other performances before? How does this one compare? No Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes; some parts of the book left you drained emotional due to the suffering of the characters.

Title: This Bitter Earth Subtitle: The Story of Sugar Lacey Author: Bernice McFadden Narrator: Myra Lucretia Taylor Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 113 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Recipient of the Zora Neale Hurston Society Award and a national best-selling author, Bernice L. McFadden returns with her sequel to Sugar. Sugar Lacey comes back home to a past she hoped to forget. She must face many obstacles and deal with secret truths about her family. This Bitter Earth is a striking novel about strength and victory. Members Reviews: Kinda heavy I purchased this audiobook from Audible.com to complete the Sugar Lacey series. I read and reviewed the first book "Sugar" for Mocha Girls Read book club last year. (Review) The first book centered around Sugar Lacey and her unexpected arrival in the small sleepy town of Bigelow, Arkansas. Now Sugar is not liked by the other women in town. The men like that about her and the women can't stop talking about her and her "ways". Book one ends with Sugar leaving the town and the towns people to gossip and pick up the pieces of the devastation, hurt, and accusations she left behind. Book two starts with Sugar making her way back to her childhood home of Short Junction and the women who helped raise her. Sugar has been through some over the top violence and pain both physical and emotion. I love that Sugar is a strong woman and regardless of her past has the fortitude to take care of someone else. I love that about her. Without giving anything away, Sugar and most of the characters from book 1 are developed a bit more and have interesting back stories that Bernice McFadden wrote completely whole. (Hope that makes sense). I liked that about this book. But the one thing I have to say that is not positive about this book would be the amount of violence done to the characters. It honestly felt like someone died every single chapter for the first ten chapters. Needless to say there is a heavy darkness that hangs over the whole book. This series starts with a violent act in book one and ends with one at the end of book two. LORD! I felt like I needed to come up for air after reading the first ten chapters. It was just soo much. I don't know if that makes it a good book, or Bernice McFadden is a bad or good writer. I don't know if that makes this a must read. But if you read book one, and you want to find out what happened to Sugar then pick it up. Just read a light-hearted book next so you won't slit your wrist. Excellent I thought the narrator did a wonderful job in telling the story. I enjoyed how she changed her voice to emphasized each character's reaction and emotion, it made the storyline very easy to follow. I love how the author picked right off where the previous story ( Sugar) ended and how the pieces, characters and secrets fell into place. This was a very enjoyable listen. Summary This is a 5 star read. I am sorry I came to the end of the story. The author got this right such a engaging sequel to sugar Loved every minute....Bernice L Macfadden is one of my new favorite authors!..she gives such great detail of every character and helps the reader easily see how their stories intertwine WOW! Bernice McFadden is an excellent story teller. Her characters are intertwined in astonishing ways!

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 90 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: In this honest and stunning novel, James Baldwin has given America a moving story of love in the face of injustice. Told through the eyes of Tish, a 19-year-old girl in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and is imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions - affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche. Members Reviews: The narrator did her thing, I love it!!! This book is a mirror of my life. From jail, their ages, their families, the charges, the innocence, to the mother venturing out and seeking truth. I am with my husband this very day 23 years later. I know this kind of love, Mr. Baldwin nailed it. Well done. Incredible novel This story is written from a young woman's perspective of how the criminal justice system destroys African-American families. Beautiful Timeless Story It's a nice story, not as twisty as most of Baldwin's books....I kept waiting for him to really go deeper...

His play on words, matching to the period of time is remarkable. IT DELIVERED This book was just as good as the others and you didn't need to have read books 1-4 to pick it up and follow it. The Author is brilliant! I would hope he keeps this series going. Fantastic! Lauren Bapiste is back! It was great to see what happens to Lauren after the reunion between her and Amir.

Title: Little Green Subtitle: An Easy Rawlins Mystery, Book 12 Author: Walter Mosley Narrator: Michael Boatman Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 05-14-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 281 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: When Walter Mosley burst onto the literary scene in 1990 with his first Easy Rawlins mystery, Devil in a Blue Dress - a combustible mixture of Raymond Chandler and Richard Wright - he captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers (including future president Bill Clinton). Eleven books later, Easy Rawlins is one of the few private eyes in contemporary crime fiction who can be called iconic and immortal. In the incendiary and fast-paced Little Green, he returns from the brink of death to investigate the dark side of L.A.s 1960s hippie haven, the Sunset Strip. We last saw Easy in 2007s Blonde Faith, fighting for his life after his car plunges over a cliff. True to form, the tough WWII veteran survives, and soon his murderous sidekick Mouse has him back cruising the mean streets of L.A., in all their psychedelic 1967 glory, to look for a young black man, Evander "Little Green" Noon, who disappeared during an acid trip. Fueled by an elixir called Gators Blood, brewed by the conjure woman Mama Jo, Easy experiences a physical, spiritual, and emotional resurrection, but peace and love soon give way to murder and mayhem. Written with Mosleys signature grit and panache, this engrossing and atmospheric mystery is not only a trip back in time, it is also a tough-minded exploration of good and evil, and of the power of guilt and redemption. Once again, Easy asserts his reign over the City of (Fallen) Angels. Critic Reviews: "In 2007s Blonde Faith, set in 1967, Easy Rawlins drove drunkenly off a cliff in what his creator indicated was likely his last appearance. Now, after two months of sliding in and out of consciousness, Easy begins the long journey back to the living, in Mosleys superb 12th mystery featuring his iconic sleuth.... If there were an Edgar for best comeback player, Easy Rawlins would be a shoo-in." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Good to the last drop as always. Mr Mosley does like he always do. I wish more were made to movies. The Devil in a blue dress movie introduced me to Easy Rawlings. Easy is my main man! Back from the dead and back with his woman, Mosley has done it again, Easy Rawlings provers that life is full of ifs and buts. I'm taking my audio journey through Mr. Rawlings's world and it's WONDERFUL. My only issue is that I'll be finished with the last two books in the series before Mosley publishes again. What will I do while I wait for Easy? Oh well, I guess it's time to dive into some of Mosleys science fiction. Again, hats off, great job. Still a fan! The Easy Rawlins series make me happy! I always know I'm in for a good read. Great read Enjoyed the Easy Rawlings tale. Kept me enthralled with all of the wonderful characters. I highly recommend this story. Easy Rawlins - So glad he wasn't dead. A hero I would have missed I love Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins character. It's not that he's bad-assed because he's got people that are and he doesn't need to be. Easy is a humble man that needs to make things right.i loved this book.

Example: Don't tell her I told you, but your little cousin is a ho. No shade. Every little girl dreams of a happy ending to her story - a home, children, and a man who loves her enough to share his life and last name. When Billy's longtime boyfriend, Marcus, finally pops the question, it's one of the happiest moments of her life. Billy calls on her childhood friends, Reese and Yoshi, to stand with her on her special day. Several years have passed since they'd last come together, and unresolved issues have driven a wedge between the women. Nevertheless, they agree to put their differences aside for the sake of Billy's wedding. But the truce is a short one when Billy has to decide on a maid of honor. Just when things seem to be coming together, they quickly begin to fall apart. At a time when Billy is supposed to be basking in the sunshine of her approaching wedding, she finds herself the target of shade being thrown from the most unlikely places. While Billy is going through her drama, Marcus is dealing with issues of his own. An old crime partner of his blows into town unexpectedly, and his presence threatens to destroy the legitimate life Marcus has worked so hard to build. Even with the universe seemingly working against them, Billy and Marcus are determined to have their dream wedding. But first they have to survive the nightmare of planning it. There goes the neighborhood...again. Members Reviews: Can't finish the book I returned this book after 3 chapters because the narrator was horrible. If you're going to read a ghetto, ratchet hood novel then she needs to have some hood in her. Her voice made me sleepy and bored, they need to get someone to record this book over. great book bad performance The book was great but the delivery/performance was awful!!! I wish Cary Hite would have read. Why is she still narrating??? How can you mess up Shai Clarks name?Her voice is flat and boring.Ive listened to a few books she has read and they were all terrible ,I even wrote a review about her a couple of days ago and still decided to get this book.I will never get another book narrated by her. Gucci and Animal? I'm tryna figure out where's Gucci and Animal. I've been listening to book after book and they haven't showed back up Narrator no bueno First of all, the narrator should've been told how to pronounce names.. She pronounced "Shy or Shai" as "Shaaayy" the whole story, drove me nuts. The story was strong and I'm a fan of K'wan but you have to love the hood stories to appreciate his books!

Brianna and Shan couldn't be more different. From her $1,200 weave to her closet full of Gucci, Prada, and Chanel, Brianna believes that men were born to bankroll her lifestyle. Shan likes to make her own money by working for a living at a men's prison - and prefers Sean John, Baby Phat, and Fubu to Jimmy Choo. Still, despite appearances, Shan and B are sisters where it counts - or so they think.... For B, lying is part of the hustle, and the hustle is what gets her sex, clothes, cars - pretty much whatever she wants. She couldn't care less who gets hurt along the way, as long as it isn't her. But it's one thing to hustle tricks and quite another to betray the one person who really cares. When one of B's schemes goes too far, blood is spilled - and Shan is caught in the crossfire. Now, with friendship and lives on the line, Brianna's got one last chance to change her ways - or suffer the consequences.... Members Reviews: Good book Wow this book was really good I finish listening to this in one day . it was funny and had a lot of surprises . specially what happened to Briana even though she was shady was a mug I didn't think she deserve that.if she would've lived long enough she woulve realized that Shan was still her friend. I definilty enjoyed this book and I can't wait to listen to part 2 .I was rooting for Shan and Kelvin. Oh well. Good book with a horrible narrator The story was good, but the narrator was horrible and not believable at all. She couldn't bring the characters alive. She was trying to read with enthusiasm in a urban book. Cary Hite or Nicole Small she have narrated this one also. narrator could have been much better loved the story line just not the narration . maybe this is an older audio book? The narrator was awful I am a pretty open minded person but this performance was just awful. Th narrator made everything seem run together and her pitch and tone grated on my nerves. I fought to finish it. crucial OMG payback to the highest degree. mess with fire you will get burned. 2 thumbs up

New relationships - both male and female - give him enormous pleasure but keep him from finding the inner peace and lasting love he so desperately desires. The horrible illness and death of a friend force Raymond, at last, to face the truth. Critic Reviews: "One of the most thought-provoking books written about male sexuality, particularly black male sexuality, since James Baldwin's Another Country." (Richmond Voice) Members Reviews: Excellent captures the reader with it's twists and turns and left me wanting to read the next book. one has to really empathized with "RAY" and his discovery of "self". Curiosity I heard of this author and this book when news of black men on the down low became a hot topic of discussion. I did not read it then I was not interested in the topic at that time. I saw it here and thought what the heck. It was an enlightening listen. I don't have an opinion about gay people in general. To each it's own. I guess the book served it's purpose for me. I don't think I will listen to the rest of the books by this author if the storyline continues like this. This not the image I want to have of professional African American men. For those who want an eye opening experience as to how this could happen take a listen you probably won't be disappointed in the content. great book I love this book got me through some tough times. read it !!!! thank me later... Pretty good listening I have only read one of E. Lynn Harris' s books. This was very interesting. not overbearing to listen to. definitely am eye opener. FIRST TIME LISTENER The book was good. Different from anything I have ever read. I can say I will listen or read something else by this author. I had been meaning to read this book for quite sometime and I am glad iI didn't continue to delay .

One man is a mysterious gay kingpin with an edge. The other is a straight kingpin determined to get back on top by any means necessary. There can be only one man on top. The question is, who is willing to go down the lowest to get to the top? Members Reviews: Mediocre Definitely not a must read, but is a descent enough book to pass the time away. Excellent!!! Loved every bit of this story from the beginning to the end. The best from Pope Better than expected I've read M. T. Pope books before and I've become a fan. This was my first audio book from him and it was much better than I expected. there were some great voice performances from mom and son that made this story worth coming back to. the story pushes us at times in places we shouldn't necessarily be going. shock moments and alot of them, but it's not a joke. it's a well thought out story. It gets hot and bothered so if you don't like the intense sexuality stiff (straight or gay), this is not for you. otherwise, enjoy. great story and Change-Up this is a great story and change of pace. I love all of the urban stories, but the characters are starting to become the same; lived in the ghetto, grew up poor, did some jail time, around 6 1 220 lb and they take the streets by storm with force and a little bit of guile, this story definitely had the raw elements it takes for someone to come up in the street but it also came from a different aspect

From the beginning on the Oprah Winfrey until they end up on the Virgin Islands , first lady Jasmine and first lady Rachell love hate relationship was halarious . The ending was a little predictable. Team..... Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character is Mae Francis. She has a connection to everybody! Without her, Jasmine couldn't get away with half of the schemes that she partakes in. Jasmine and Rachel are cool too! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? There were many times when I laughed out loud, but mainly I was curious about who was framing Rachel and why. Any additional comments? Good read that will hold your interest!

Title: Destiny's Captive Subtitle: Destiny, Book 3 Author: Beverly Jenkins Narrator: Thomas Penny Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 137 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: In national best-selling author Beverly Jenkins' Destiny series, the Yates men play hard and live hard. And when they find that special woman, they fall hard. Noah Yates fully believes in the joys of a happy family and a good wife. But that's not the life for him. No, he would much rather sail the wild seas in search of adventure, not tied down. But then the unthinkable happens - he finds himself literally tied down. To a bed. By a woman. And Pilar isn't just an ordinary woman. She's descended from pirates. And after giving him one of the worst nights of his life, she steals his ship! Now Noah is on the hunt, and he'll stop at nothing to find this extraordinary woman - and make her his. Members Reviews: Great story, generic lead female, Let me start off by saying I am a fan of several of Beverly Jenkins books. I LOVE forbidden as well as destiny surrender. With that being said. The lead female in the story goes from extraordinary to another generic strong-willed bold personality female. What happened to the revolution? what happened to her wanting to make a difference be a change? what happened to Cuba? what I am appalled, angry, and disgusted with the family over is the ending of the book, and the treatment of Noah Yates as a victim of rape. I do not think the writer understand severity of broken trust between spouses when the wife shared such an intimate violation of her husband with his family. I do not feel that the husband should have been the only one apologizing when does treatment and misunderstanding. He was not a alpha male nor that he appear to represent the domineering personality of an alpha male. She had more compassion for the perpetrator that placed her husband in this scenario vs her husband. that killed and murdered my book reading experience. I can go on and on about this however that may be a personal blog post. Otherwise a great book. Weak story This had all the elements of a great adventure but it fell flat. When Miss Jenkins is good she's great but sometimes these stories seem forced and rushed. This one was just OK. I think I will go back and read and Indigo again! The boy rake and the girl pirate Had trouble with the narration a bit as I'm just not used to male narrators for this series but the story is so compelling and Thomas Penny's voice is so entrancing, I couldn't stop listening. This is one of my favorite Jenkins series and while her words easily come off the page in swirls of vivid imagery that shouldn't require any narration to come to life, the ability to really immerse yourself in the world through the audiobook is the perfect way to enjoy this series. Didn't want it to end I wished there were more in this series. I loved all of the characters and the descriptions of the places and people made me feel as though I could see them right before my eyes. Destiny Series All three audios were excellent. The narrator was magnificent. The history in all three was excellent. All I can say is more more and thank you .

Title: The Crooked Path Author: Irma Joubert Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: As retired physician Lettie Louw looks back upon her life, she recounts her coming of age in WWII-era South Africa in this compelling story of delayed love, loss, and reconciliation. Lettie Louw is the daughter of the town physician in their South African village. She spends her childhood in the warm African days playing with her friends and being adored by her doting parents. When she becomes a teenager, she experiences her first taste of unrequited romantic love in the form of her best friend's older brother, De Wet Fourie. When De Wet pursues the beautiful and wealthy Annabelle, Lettie's dreams are crushed, and she moves to Johannesburg to pursue her studies in medicine. Life in Johannesburg feels strange to Lettie, and the world around her is in profound upheaval as the Second World War rages. Her feelings for De Wet never waver, and Lettie is heartbroken when he marries another of her childhood friends. Lettie soon meets Marco Romanelli, an Italian immigrant, and they marry and raise two daughters as the racial and political tensions in South Africa swirl about them. Lettie never forgets her first love, even as the ravages of time, war, and illness play upon her life and the lives of those she loves. In their later years, Lettie and De Wet are thrown into one another's company again, and they are given another chance at a life together. Members Reviews: A wonderful book! A beautiful love story that comes alive and makes you want to keep on reading. It's one of those stories I won't forget and plan on reading again. This is the third of Irma Joubert's books that I have read and am drawn into her simple yet complex style of writing about life's tragedies and triumphs. I hope Ms.Joubert's other books come out on English soon! Poignant and Captivating Favorite Quotes: Annabel turned to her. âSee, Lettie,â she said, carelessly tossing her hat onto her blanket roll, âthatâs how you treat boys . . . men. Theyâre a bit like goats. If you stroke their egos, theyâll eat out of your hand.â She was a tall, thin woman with hair piled high on her head and a nose like a quarter pound of cheese. I love you like Iâve never loved anyone before and never will again.â His words flooded her brain, washed over her body, and entered the chambers of her heart where they were anchored, to be remembered and cherished in years to come. You understand . . . with a deeper understanding than words can convey.â Years ago my mom told me life sometimes leads you along a strange crooked path, but in the end it will always take you where youâre supposed to beâ My Review: The Crooked Path bore no similarity to my expectations, and I couldnât be happier. The premise was entertaining and the writing and storylines were captivating, well-crafted, and smartly paced. The book was highly engaging, eventful, well researched, and encompassed a shattering and traumatic period of history that was told through the inspiring, contrasting, and heartbreaking personal experiences and sacrifices of highly endearing characters on separate continents and of different cultures. The story was poignant, emotive, and thoughtfully written without being overly melodramatic.

All Enzo aka Shawn Banks, and Bianca "Angel" Smith wanted to do was leave the evidence of their old life behind them, but the past always has a way of coming back to haunt you. When International King Pin, Damien Orlando, was taken down, the streets of Atlanta thought DOA's reign of terror was over, but sometimes even tied up ends can unravel. Step into the underworld of the NFL, where E.N.G.A takes on a whole new meaning, especially for Angel and Enzo. Neither one of them will be prepared for what happens when murder and mayhem takes to the streets of the ATL once again and pulls them in head first. Player steps back into the E.N.G.A world where both Enzo and Angel will see how far some will go to further their agenda. Members Reviews: Another Home Run...Loved it! Would you listen to Carl Weber Presents: Hood Misfits, Volume 3 again? Why? Actually, I'd like to go back and listen to ALL three books in succession because once you listen to a book and then time passes, you forget certain details about the characters. Therefore, if you listen to the books right after the other, you can really get a better feel for all three books as they flow from one to the other. In this book, there were characters that were casually mentioned in the previous two books and it would be nice to go back to review the books. And there are so many details that can easily escape your notice. Therefore, it would be good to go back and listen again. What did you like best about this story? The comradership and how the misfits never cease to come to the aid of their fellow group. I loved how they identified how the African Queen and her group came about. Also, I like how the writers continue to bring in pieces of knowledge to further build on the previous books helping you to appreciate the characters and providing more in depth information about the people in the story line. What do you think the narrator could have done better? These narrators are new for me with exception of Jules Williamson. So, it took some getting used to. In fact, after listening to the two previous misfits books, with the voice of James Edward Shippy and Paula Parker, I must say I was a bit disappointed with the female narrators in this book because I felt that they were a bit too bland and their performances were a bit weak. However, as usual Jules Williamson did a phenomenal job. Mainly, I felt that the female narrators voices did not have enough presence. Who was the most memorable character of Carl Weber Presents: Hood Misfits, Volume 3 and why? Enzo, because he was the main character that I followed and was interested in knowing how he would react to the various incidents unfolding in the book. Any additional comments? I was surprised that the writers were able to complete a third book in this series and keep it interesting. No, actually, I should not have to say that because after all, it is a Carl Weber production. Sometimes books can't pull it off and continue delivering good content. I must admit that this book really put the icing on the cake to a lot of the things going on in the previous books as to the origin of the African Queen. I was most intrigued as to how things actually got started.

Caught up in a game of fast money, faster women, and a hustler's dream, Rasheed's secrets and lies threaten to sever his alliance with his baby's mother, Michelle. Trapped in an emotional whirlwind of sex, love, and mistrust, Michelle attempts to hold the threads of their lives together. With the passing of each day, their bond unravels further, forcing Michelle closer to a decision to either confront the reality that is her life or suffer in silence. Once she makes her decision, some bitter and surprising cards are dealt to her son's father. Now Michelle is finally looking forward to leading a normal, quiet family life. However, there is nothing quiet about the secret lives people around her are leading. Michelle finds herself drawn in by the allure of her budding real estate career, catering to the likes of models and basketball players and enjoying the sex-fueled spoils of the rich and shameless lifestyle. This only highlights the unsettling fact that her marriage and home life aren't as picture perfect as she once imagined. When things begin to fall apart and fingers start pointing, it leads her down a dark and dangerous path. Her present is united with a past that could potentially destroy everything. Will the lies, secrets, twists, and turns of life prevent this baby momma from achieving her goals and living out the life she dreamed of? Members Reviews: Confused! Disappointed! False Synopsis!! Ugh!! This isn't the worst book I've listened to but it could indeed be MUCH BETTER. The synopsis doesn't really fit the book well at least not the part about Michelle's career and dealing with the rich and shameless. When did she cater to the likes of basketball players and models? I'm confused. MICHELLE WASN'T MARRIED TO ANYONE! Her friend purposed at the end of the story. Either this is missing a few chapters, which I highly doubt, or the synopsis is false just to draw the reader in. Disappointed!!! Honey Jones is the only reason I finished this book. AN EXCELLENT NARRATOR ALL OVER THE PLACE What would have made Baby Momma better? If the book would've stuck to one story and plot it would've been better. This book was all over the place, the author tried to have so many twists and turns and plots that the book is rushed. It was one plot after another meaning none of the plots were ever developed. the characters weren't developed either. Has Baby Momma turned you off from other books in this genre? I still like this genre but I will not get anything else written by this author How did the narrator detract from the book? the narrator can read but she just kept taking awkward pauses What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? nothing I just couldn't wait for it to be over and mad that I wasted a credit Any additional comments? develop your characters more, don't try and have 50 plots in one book, stick to one story line and develop it, the books was so far fetched

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey Audiobook by Walter Mosley

Title: The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey Author: Walter Mosley Narrator: Dominic Hoffman Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-10 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 277 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: A masterful, moving novel about age, memory, and family that will forever establish Walter Mosley as one of the true literary icons of our time. Ptolemy Grey is 91 years old and has been all but forgotten - by his family, his friends, even himself - as he sinks into a lonely dementia. His grand-nephew, Ptolemy's only connection to the outside world, was recently killed in a drive-by shooting, and Ptolemy is too suspicious of anyone else to allow them into his life, until he meets Robyn, his niece's 17-year-old lodger and the only one willing to take care of an old man at his grandnephew's funeral. But Robyn will not tolerate Ptolemy's hermitlike existence. She challenges him to interact more with the world around him, and he grasps more firmly onto his disappearing consciousness. However, this new activity pushes Ptolemy into the fold of a doctor touting an experimental drug that guarantees Ptolemy won't live to see age 92 but that he'll spend his last days in feverish vigor and clarity. With his mind clear, what Ptolemy finds - in his own past, in his own apartment, and in the circumstances surrounding his grand-nephew's death - is shocking enough to spur an old man to action, and to ensure a legacy that no one will forget. In The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, Mosley captures the compromised state of his protagonist's mind with profound sensitivity and insight, and creates an unforgettable pair of characters at the center of a novel that is sure to become a true contemporary classic. Critic Reviews: "Mosley's depiction of the indignities of old age is heartbreaking, and Ptolemy's grace and decency make for a wonderful character and a moving novel." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Old People Turn into Chores For The Young Most of WM's books speak to me, but this one especially. My mother is 77 and going through dementia. One day she is kicking me out of her house, then next she is calling me begging me to come help her. She is paranoid, nothing is her fault and everybody is out to do her wrong. She tells the same stories over and over. She turns her cable tv to stations that don't exist and thinks her tv is broke. Her tv runs 24 hours a day and the volume is always way up. If anything Mosley did not show how bad dementia can be. I have never meet WM in person, but through his books, I know that he is a warm loving person. No one can write the books he has, the way he has and not be someone special. I don't love all his books, but I have never hated any of them. This book touched my heart several times. In a neighborhood filled with crackheads and thugs, Mosley found two characters of great value. If you have not read Mosley before, I believe this is a good place to start. He writes in several genres and I first found him in Science Fiction. Most of his books are about the human condition of the black man.

Stand Your Ground is the story of three women who find themselves thrown together because of the most horrible of situations. Janice Johnson suffers through every mother's nightmare when she finds out that her 16-year-old son, Marquis, was murdered in the parking lot of a convenience store. But she and her husband's horror becomes greater when they find out that the shooter has not been arrested. The Johnsons begin a quest to get justice for their son - though the Johnsons want to take different roads to justice. Janice wants to work with the police while her husband calls on his brother who is a member of the Brown Guardians, a militant group who've been accused of being nothing more than street vigilantes. This struggle drives a wedge between Janice and her husband at a time when they should be drawing closer together. It doesn't help that there's been infidelity in their marriage in the past that is rearing its head again. Shelly Vance cannot believe that she is in the middle of this nightmare. Her husband, Wyatt, has killed a teenager who he says attacked him. And now that tragedy has been magnified by the racial divide that it's created in the city. Matters are made worse when her husband is finally arrested and put on trial. And by extension Shelly finds herself being judged by everyone, from her employer to her friends. But no matter what, Shelly is going to stand by her husband, even though she has a secret that could blow this case wide open. Members Reviews: Spell bounding What did you love best about Stand Your Ground? The characters were so well developed. I could see this story in my mind's eye.This was such a painful emotional story that I had to stop listening several times when it became to much. I felt the pain of Janice and I understood the emotional upheaval of Meredith in knowing her husband is guilty and the fear of him knowing she saw him. What was one of the most memorable moments of Stand Your Ground? Janice insisting that her son was not shot. Looking in his bedroom under the bed and telling her husband the police were lying. Their son was not dead. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes. Forever an Ex. She had the characters jumping off the pages. It was hilarious. In this book her performance was moving. Her portrayal of Janice's emotional upheaval was spot on. Her handling of other characters were excellent as well. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Too difficult subject for me to do that. Any additional comments? I think everyone listening to thus book will feel the emotions of a parent loosing their child.The presentation and performance of this book was off the chart. The ending was masterful . Passionately Written - Great READ! POWERFUL! I hope a spoiler alert need not be placed on my review. I tried to hold back a lot. This book was well written and well thought out. I was enlightened. At first I was about to get a refund because the 1st narrator was monotone.

This book (although short) was soooo good!!!!! Vengeance is a beast. K'wan please write a part 2. I wish it was longer I really enjoyed the story, as the Black Lotus is my favorite character in the "Animal" series. I just really wish the story was much longer! It definitely could have been extended a bit more, but some people like a short story. I hope there is more to come for the Black Lotus. Eyes everywhere Was really interesting it, I got the feel of urban sci-fi instead of urban mystery b/c of the way The Black Lotus was potrayed. The lotus Would you consider the audio edition of Black Lotus to be better than the print version? Do not have the written version; enjoy the way Cary Hite narrates. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? the way of the plot was outline left you wishing for more; hence you listened longer. Have you listened to any of Cary Hites other performances before? How does this one compare? Cary Hite's is one of the best performer because he makes every character distinguish and original. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The past; redemption

Come take a ride on a sexual escapade that turns out to be deadly. Sex can kill in more ways than one. So what is your Fetish? Members Reviews: Gruesome Where do I begin? From the beginning I realized that I never knew an imagination could be this raw and explicit. I love nasty, I love freaky, I love raw, but baby this book was way too much, even for me. The images that went through my mind of the deaths that were portrayed in this book I won't go back to hear the details. I do want to know the outcome of the characters based on what happened in this story. The narration was not the best and I take it that it wasn't edited at its best. I don't know whether to say pass or read, cause I know that I want to know how the story plays out, since I did spend time in this book. So if you want to hear a different kind of story that I will label sadistic, nasty, gruesome and sickening here you go. disgusting! Couldn't get past the first few chapters. I will never ever ever ever even glance at anything else from this author. I'm down for dirty books but this was just sick to me. kids being molested and them growing older and being lovers in graphic details....the author is sick and I couldn't bare to listen to another second. The worse narration I've heard I wanted to like this story but I couldn't. Entirely too much name dropping. Who cares if the phone was an iPhone 4S? Might've been impressive then but years later it makes the story seem lame and dated. Who cares if they had on a Guuci belt? We get it. They're ballers. And the money hungry girls. Disgusting. all the hardcore attitude but afraid to pull the trigger when your life depends on it. unbelievable and laughable. Good Book But The Narrator....... This was a good listen. Predictable but good. Only issue is the narrator. They really should review each story. really weird a better narrator is needed. she had no emotion. she stumbled throughout the reading. bad!

Joy Narrator: Cindy CA Pereira Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-16 Publisher: End of the Rainbow Projects Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Out of all the divas at New Day Temple of Faith, Unique has to be the most colorful one - she and her mother, Lorain, that is. Never one to hold her tongue in the name of keepin' it real, it's no surprise that Unique has not been saved all her life. It's safe to say that Lorain wasn't born on the church pew either. Let the church folk tell it, the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree when it comes to Unique. Lorain - once known as the tight skirt, V-neck blouse, too much makeup-wearing leader of the New Day Singles Ministry - claims she's there to look out for her daughter and try to keep her in check. But how in the world does Lorain think she can even begin to keep her daughter on the straight and narrow with her own crooked life? Some might say Lorain has failed miserably as a mother when Unique ends up in jail for three counts of murder. One who would agree is the woman who raised Unique while Lorain was out living her life freely. As an all-out war takes place between Unique's birth mother and the woman who raised her, will Unique have any support while she fights for her life behind bars? Will all forsake her while they are too busy with their own agendas? Only God holds the answer to this one. Members Reviews: great book this book was actually good.. I had to shake my head at unique at the end like really? if only you knew . I hope her adopted mother tell her before they do this custody thing and Nicholas talk to Lorraine becaus she is shady for to me a chhristian but they are some shady ungrateful Christians . like unique list her boys at least Lorraine couldvr done was give unique a chance to see the girls jheeze I can't wait to read part 2 well listen to it great book to listen too This was such a enjoyable listening. I could not let go. I will recommend this book to others. God saves those who let him The character Unique was very relatable, especially since I work, as a social worker with women who are in this same sinking boat. I admire her for her courage and conviction, to do the right thing. The narrator's voice was pleasant and easy to listen to. She immediately drew me into the story. I would recommend this book to my co-workers. I believe they would enjoy it. K. Cic First Audible Book Where does And You Call Yourself a Christian rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This was my first book. It was a gift. What about Cindy CA Pereiras performance did you like? She was emotive and funny. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When the boys died and when the girl in prison took a beating for her friend I cried so much. Enjoyed The Book & The Narrator Would you consider the audio edition of And You Call Yourself a Christian to be better than the print version? The narrator brought this to life for me more than I would have thought. What about Cindy CA Pereiras performance did you like? Strong diction, and an honesty with the characters.

Then the interim pastor, who took over while Curtis was on a book tour, threatens to blackmail Curtis if he tries to push him out of the pulpit. But Curtis isn't the only one who has transgressed.

Shame on me for not doing my reseach, but I knew I'd read this author's work before. What I didn't realize is that this book continues a storyline from 2 others I've enjoyed. What a pleasant surprise! This story deconstructs flawed Christians, people with SERIOUS issues, not goody-too-shoe, "holier than thou" folks. It tells of their shortcomings and growth. In some ways, it helped me appreciate the real power of forgiveness, salvation and God's love for us despite our wrongdoings. The narrator was AMAZING with her range of voices and the author's storytelling was SUPERB. Thank you for giving us an entertaining production. Shockingly good Was really hesitant to buy another Curtis Black audiobook but I can definitely say this was the best one so far. Plenty twists and turns that really kept me on my toes. I guess I'll make this series one of my must buys again. good This was a vey good book! Just goes to show that the chickens always come home to roost. i love this series... really great. im ready to download my next book. by this author in this series... really really good. Now this one got me Excellent twist and turns. I was definitely on the edge of my seat with this book.

Love is a major addition to the canon of one of the world's literary masters. Critic Reviews: "A dense, dark star of a novel...with Morrison writing at the top of her game." (Newsweek) "Haunting. In lyrical flashbacks, Morrison slowly, teasingly reveals the glories and horrors of the past. Morrison has crafted a gorgeous, stately novel." (Publisher's Weekly) Members Reviews: Wonderful Love Toni Morrison, especially her narration. Now when I read her other equally wonderful books I literally hear her voice! Ms Morrison never disappoints! I am biased. I love everything Toni Morrison has written. And this was a great story. First Book I Didn't Finish Would you try another book from Toni Morrison and/or Toni Morrison? Yes Would you ever listen to anything by Toni Morrison again? Probably Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Toni Morrison? There are several others I'd consider You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not sure because I didn't finish it Any additional comments? Toni should probably stick to writing because I thought her narration was poorly done. I have over 60 books and she didn't bring the characters to life. I just could not get into the book. A disappointment from my FAVORITE author! I feel so let down. Toni Morrison is a master, and, yet, this is not her finest hour by a long shot. Now that I think about it, I'm really kind of upset that I invested all of the time that I did with the book. Anyone who reads Morrison's work knows that you have to catch almost every word written in order to have that aha moment when she gets to the denouement. I hung on to every syllable. So very disappointed! Fan of Toni Morrison!! I love this book!!! Started reading the hardcopy and never finished it. Loved the audio more!!!

I am hooked. Hopefully her other audibles will be just as pleasing. Good Story Would you consider the audio edition of Twisted to be better than the print version? This story was good, but not my favorite. What did you like best about this story? How the characters came back together. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The audio was not it best, the narrator did fine. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, but I want to finished the book quickly. FIYA!!!!

Members Reviews: I feel cheated out of my 13.95 the book is mediocre..narrator kept stumbling and singing (far too much for her voice to not be so good lol) we got the point of the song but did she have to sing the whole song lol... kinda all over the place with the story line..then you'd tell the same scene right behind each other using a different character unnecessarily (a waste of time) then you'd give too much detail to unimportant things.. I feel cheated out of my 13.95 honestly.. HORRIBLE This book is annoying and bored and just not realistic .... like really underground layer? And laser eye recognition? The singing was ridiculous but the story... The story was good but that was interrupted by all that horrible ass singing. I still want to read part 2 and 3. yes good book will keep reading from this author, Got me hooked III III III iii Addicted to Him I hope there's a sequel to this book because I would like it to continue so that I can enjoy more of it.

As if Lady Elect Arykah Miles' false eyelashes, scarlet red fingernails, and fishnet stockings aren't flashy enough, the blond wigs and sky-high stilettos she wears send Mother Gussie Hughes and Mother Pansie Bowak into panic mode. The mothers of the church don't take too kindly to the fact that Pastor Howell chose to marry outside of the congregation. One look at Lady Arykah and the mothers know that she isn't likely to be controlled. Arykah proves that to be true when she refuses to tone down her attire. Determined to oust Lady Elect Arykah Miles, the mothers put a plan in motion to show Arykah how much she isn't liked or wanted. An all-out war ensues, and the church mothers are willing to try some pretty devious antics to get rid of Arykah. What they don't know is that Arykah is from the streets, and she fought hard to get to where she is. She's ready to prove to the whole congregation that, like it or not, she's here to stay. Members Reviews: loved! I really enjoyed this! I will be looking for more from this author! just what I was looking for! Great Read! I hope there is a sequel! Loved it and I'm ready for the sequel. The story was realistic and engaging. This my first time reading with this author and now I'm looking for more. Not at all what I expected I truly enjoyed this book and I loved the way that Lady Erica and the Bishop worked together as a team. This book opened my eyes to how conniving some church people can be and the situations that arose are realistic. I thought that this book would be too churchy but it was not at all like I expected. I have read Lutisha Lovely books and they didn't keep me as captivated and wanting to read on like this book did. Good book and the characters fit perfectly. Love it Christian in the Church. WoW this truth to this story. I couldn't put the book down read it within 2 days, My kind of story This book was different than what I'm used to. It was not exciting, thrilling, or action packed but I enjoyed listening to it all the same. The author and narrator did a great job.

Members Reviews: Desire, Decisions and Lessons Learned Where does Desire After Divorce: Davida's Testimony rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is the first audiobook . What did you like best about this story? The details given were outstanding. I could see the rooms, her apartment, the hotels and clubs etc. I could follow her thinking and planning. What about Gloria Shell Mitchells performance did you like? It was interesting to hear the story in the voice of the one who'd written the story. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Much of the book was more frank than I had anticipated. I found myself fearful when she was fearful, and fooled when she was fooled etc. Some unpleasant memories of similar "messes" I'd gotten myself into resurfaced. Any additional comments? I found it to be an interesting juxtaposition of the use of scripture with the descriptive romances and sexual encounters. Dr. Mitchell's Lessons Learned pointed out that learning is a progressive and cumulative activity. Awesome book! What a blessing! Thanks Dr. Mitchell for your guidance in a much difficult time. I appreciate you sharing this story to inspire me through my journey. I cant wait to read the next book to get even more inspiration.

Members Reviews: Poor Porn We too finished listening to this book and kept asking ourselves why! The premise for the book sounded promising but in fact it was very poorly written and the ending was as if the writer just got tired of writing and quit...which was fine with us. Every now and then you get a stinker and this was one of those. The Power of the P! I enjoyed this story because it outlines the journey of a young lady who recognizes her situation and transforms her trauma into a profitable venture for herself. *Haters won't understand.* (If you got it, make it work for you) At some point in the story it became a bit implausable that this is the mind of a 16-year-old making these crafty decisions though. I have great empathy for the plight of the black woman. They can become the most resourceful and resilient people on the planet. Think about it:In the slavery days a black woman *had* to make love to the "Massah", raise the "Massah's son and give herself to him if he desired her, go back to the "quarters" and make love to her very bitter "beau" -AND on top of that- keep her sanity while raising the children and keeping the house. Admit it! Black women are amazing! Once they recognize their situation and they learn how to turn their curses into triumph. However, the conclusion could have been better for me in my opinion. I wanted Johnnie to make an explosive exit at the end. Not a quiet dribble. --B4 I do love historical fiction What made the experience of listening to Little Black Girl Lost the most enjoyable? I think that the world that was created was the best part of Little Black Girl lost. The author did an excellent job transporting me to the 1950s New Orleans setting. What was one of the most memorable moments of Little Black Girl Lost? The most memorable moment was Johnny's mother sold her virginity. It was just really hard to hear due to it being so detailed but it was needed to really understand what Johnny lost and how she lost it. Little Black Girl Lost Awful. Really the entire book amounted to graphic child pornography. I would like to delete it from my audible library. I have deleted it from ITunes library and my ipod. I should have gotten the abridged version... 2.5* I'll start by saying that I was really looking forward to this book, and I understand that this is fiction.. but still. On the one hand, I liked the (main) story; young girl forced into 'whoredom' refuses to settle on just being a victim. Ok, cool, great, I love it. What I didn't like was the often unnecessary (and very recurring) graphic sex. I get that men like sex, but this book just made it seem like the guys in the book were simple-minded, horny lumps of flesh. Every man that she came in contact with immediately wanted her, even when they knew nothing about her. It's as if the girl walked around with a magic sticker on her forehead that said "Don't even attempt to know or care about me", and only the guys could see it. What ever happened to character development and back story? Not to mention that some of the events in the story were way too far-fetched.

Showcasing the work of literary giants like Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, Alice Walker, and authors whom listeners may be surprised to learn were "in the life", Black Like Us is the most comprehensive collection of fiction by African American lesbian, gay, and bisexual writers ever published. From the Harlem Renaissance to the Great Migration of the Depression era, from the postwar civil rights, feminist, and gay liberation movements, to the unabashedly complex sexual explorations of the present day, Black Like Us accomplishes a sweeping survey of 20th-century literature. Members Reviews: Good insight The story is kind of slow but it gives off good inside reviews on the LGBT community and ways. Beautiful writing, contextualizing, performance! If you could sum up Black Like Us in three words, what would they be? Nurturing, informative, and generous. What was one of the most memorable moments of Black Like Us? Listening to Hughes's Blessed Assurance was drastic and compelling. Any additional comments? I would like a visual accompanying text containing a table of contents with time marks for the audiobook. Because it is a collection of short stories and excerpts, navigating to specific excerpts is an obvious use for the book. Without a table of contents with time marks, navigating to a specific section is complicated and time consuming. great listening I was entertained through the whol i loved it. great stories I enjoyed the narraration it was. great listening. I was really impressed

Members Reviews: engaging story bernice mcfadden uses such a richness of words to describe her characters thoughts and actions. i feel as if i am there and can touch and feel them. i would know them if i saw them. the story kept me engaged until the end . i never knew quite where she was going. great book for book club discussion. the plot holds lots of relevant issues that families hold today. Poingnant and Historically Laced Fascinating read! A poignant and historically laced story line with extremely interesting characters. As I read there were times when my mouth flew open in astonishment and horror; times when I laughed out loud; and times when I was delighted with the softness of romantic intrigue, and the passion of enslaved people, who found light and love in a dehumanizing and tragic era. Sad...Good... I read this book because a very good, trustworthy friend suggested that I read it. The first thing that captured me was the voice(s) in the story; mother vs. daughter vs. mother. As these two ladies embark on a road trip that will eventually end at a family reunion, the family's historical narrative is revealed, which leads the daughter closer to the information that will explain why her mother slapped her across the face during her childhood. Not only does this story examine the mother and daughter relationship, but it also highlights racism, perseverance, and sexual abuse (among other things). Bernice McFadden Never Disappoints Bernice McFadden never disappoints. Her writing is so rich, her characters so fully developed, but the structure was different and sometimes intrusive. I certainly didn't expect to go back to slavery and was bothered by it until shortly before freedom came and all the twists and turns of it. Now, that was interesting. Five Stars love all her books

Stringer Narrator: iiKane Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-06-16 Publisher: Buck 50 Productions Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 65 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Written in prison and based on real-life experiences, this is the novel that launched the writing and publishing career of the best-selling author of Still Dirty, Dirty Red, and Imagine This, the reigning "queen of urban fiction" (Publishers Weekly). Vickie M. Stringer wrote Let That Be the Reason when she was still serving her seven-year sentence for drug trafficking. When she couldn't find a publisher, she printed the novel herself and sold it out of the trunk of her car. "I've exposed myself with the prayer that my life can be used as an example to warn others of the awful dangers of the drug game," she wrote in its afterword. Let That Be the Reason begins when a drug dealer abandons his girlfriend, Pamela Xavier, leaving her with nothing but a stack of bills, an empty refrigerator, and an impending eviction notice. Backed into a corner and with no prospects in sight, Pamela decides to get her hustle on. Transforming herself into Carmen, she learns to deal with the streets, the playas, the drug lords - and, of course, the law - by any means necessary. In no time, she is running a call girl service, a fencing operation, and a drug cartel, all while still being a mom. Carmen wants money, but she also wants happiness. The problem is that she doesn't quite understand what real happiness is and what real love means - or what it all costs. Let That Be the Reason is a true-to-life saga of a woman's love, ambition to survive, forgiveness, and salvation. Members Reviews: Yawn!

Title: The Secrets of Heavenly Subtitle: Heavenly Plantation, Book 1 Author: Teresa Robison Narrator: Chris Abell Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-26-16 Publisher: Teresa Robison Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 156 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Olivia's marriage to an African-American man was unacceptable to her mother Emma, Southern-bred descendant of prominent South Carolina slaveholders. Olivia assumed that bigotry was the product of her mother's loyalty to long-dead relatives, an allegiance to maintain the family's white blood line. After Emma's death though, Olivia finds a letter and an old journal among her belongings. Soon, she discovers the secret that prompted Emma to irrationally blame an entire race - a secret that had nothing to do with family history, although it strongly paralleled another tragic event from the past. 1846, Marianne Witherell's journal: Before Lincoln and the American Civil War, slavery is at its peak in South Carolina. A young slave girl named Willa suddenly arrives at Heavenly Plantation with her mother Heddie, destined to serve the wealthy plantation family as house servants. Right away, two of the Master's children - Marianne and Seth - forge a bond with Willa, in spite of their older brother Foster's warnings about the evils of mixing with the "darkies". Although she grows up in the "big house" treated like family by her pair of white friends, Willa cannot forget that she is still a slave. Never is that fact made clearer than when Foster cruelly taunts and threatens her in secret. As it threads through the lives of its diverse characters, this novel captures the complicated and often violent nature of life in the antebellum South. As Willa's story is told, a dramatic tapestry is woven, binding the Witherell family to a web of secrets that include forbidden love and faithful friendships alongside dangerous obsessions, mental instability, and even murder. Members Reviews: Great Story Wrong Choice of Narrator The story was amazing, however the narrator was not suited for this particular story. He has a nice voice but his voice tones and fluctuations did match the story. For one the main character and several of the other characters were female so I was forced to try and re translate most of the story into a female voice that the characters may have had. Also the way he read was not right. There was a persistent tone and fluctuation of voice that no matter what was being read, dramatic and sad or joyful and happy, did not change. But the story kept me listening. I would re buy and re listen to this book again if a more suited narrator read it. Don't waste a credit What would have made The Secrets of Heavenly better? The narration of this book is THE WORST. Why in the world would you have a male narrator when most of the character dialogue is female. I've only listened to an hour or so and it's so boring and the narration so bad that I had to stop. I'm so mad to have lost a credit on this one. What could Teresa Robison have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Picked a better narrator. Would you be willing to try another one of Chris Abells performances? NO Good story with bad performance I enjoyed the story but had a hard time listening to the performer. He just doesn't have the right voice for the various characters Heavenly loved it. where is book 2? I have no problem reading this book again. Thanks Predictable, slow Only finished it because I started it, wanted to stop several times, hard to finish

Title: Leaving Atlanta Author: Tayari Jones Narrator: various Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 03-22-06 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Tasha, Rodney, and Octavia each share the same wish: to be accepted. But reality soon crashes into their world, bringing with it fear and confusion. Children in their class are being kidnapped. Suddenly, popularity and recognition don't seem so important. Making it home safely through the menacing streets of Atlanta is an everyday challenge. Even their parents are unnerved by this violent outbreak. Who will protect these children now? The convincing characters, voiced by a full cast of narrators, make this a haunting and effective work. Leaving Atlanta confronts complicated and sensitive subjects with just the right amount of sorrow and promise. Critic Reviews: "This strongly grounded tale hums with the rhythms of schoolyard life and proves Jones to be a powerful storyteller." (Publishers Weekly) "She conveys powerfully the loneliness of a child...gives us a picture of children unsure they would even see tomorrow." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Fantastic book and audio production. I loved this book, and especially loved it on audio. The book is told in three parts with each part having a different narrator. I loved the way that this was done. The first part was told by Tasha, the second by Rodney, and the third by Octavia. I loved Tashas section the best and Rodneys the least, but even he grew on me until I couldnt help but really feel for him and care about him and his story. The three lives are intertwined in more ways than they realize at first, and this becomes more clear as the story progresses. Through the work we learn more about the awful spate of child murders that plagued the black Atlanta community from 1979-1981. Through the murders of the black children Jones is able to explore the racism and injustice that was faced still in the southern states in the 1970s. Very glad I listened to this one. Might be my new favorite author Where does Leaving Atlanta rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Wow. Tayari Jones is perhaps one of the best modern writers. She brilliantly captures the way a child views the world around her. I was blown away. What was one of the most memorable moments of Leaving Atlanta? Octavia's part-- What does various bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Audio is my preferred method of Wow! I was born in 82. This was news to me. My mom grew up in SC and intimately remembers this. The story is broken up into three segments. Enjoy them all but Octavia's was the best. The narrator for her was excellent. Tayari gave a realistic glimpse in what it felt like to be a child during that time. Excellent Any additional comments? Tayari Jones always portrays characters so well. I love to read her books. The topic of this book is especially sad, even more so because it describes something that really happened. So, with the sadness of coming to the end of a good read and the subject of the book, pick this book when you're feeling upbeat. It is a good book. I'm glad to have discovered this good author. AWESOME Jones is able to capture the true nature of how Black children speak, think, and play. Excellent book.

Big Girls Do Cry Audiobook by Carl Weber

Title: Big Girls Do Cry Author: Carl Weber Narrator: Teresa Floyd Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 452 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Carl Weber pens down-and-dirty fiction packed with the highs and low of characters struggling with family and tumultuous relationships. In this sequel to Something on the Side, two Rubenesque beauties kiss the Big Apple goodbye and launch a new chapter of the Big Girls Book Club in Richmond, Virginia. But this time, the size-14-and-over ladies club is welcoming a chunky (and very male) player into its ranksand plus-size shenanigans are sure to follow. Critic Reviews: "Weber's in top form with this fast-paced and oh-so-zany soap opera." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: I love Carl Weber I was so excited to hear this book it kept me wanting to hear more... I think my boyfriend is starting to feel a little lonely because our tv time is no longer our quality time because i am constantly listening to my audiobook. Isis was no joke in this story by far my favorite character the stalking theme with a few of the characters was out of control i laughed but when i thought about it and remember being stalked by my ex it opened my eyes to the true nature of some folks.... Carl Weber is an amazing writer. CARL, CARL, CARL!!! I was so excited to see a follow up to 'Something On The Side", this was a good read, It would have been nice to have the same Narrators from the first book S.O.T.S, the Narrator was terrible!! Overall, I was pleased with the story. There of course has to be another to follow. Clearly a black man's point of view... I thought the tie for all the characters was being overweight and the book club, so I expected something different. I liked "Something on The Side" but I cannot give any book a good review that promotes women going back to loser men. The worst piece of garbage! The only praise this author gets from me is to the effect that you've got to have some talent to write a whole book full of characters, none of whom have a single redeeming quality. Can you imagine a book where you are not happy or sad or anxious for anyone? Well, here's an experience for you. No plot, no real story line, no character development. Just the worst of trailer trash. No reason at all why all these people had to be plus size unless that was just insult to injury. If course, not to mention that I can't imagine any black person being grateful for being associated with this crap! I want my money back! Carl Weber Never Disappoints Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The characters kept me laughing just like they did in Something On The Side. I only wished that there were more characters from the other book in this one as well.

We Love You, Charlie Freeman Audiobook by Kaitlyn Greenidge

Title: We Love You, Charlie Freeman Author: Kaitlyn Greenidge Narrator: Cherise Boothe, Karole Foreman, Myra Lucretia Taylor Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 49 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Frustrated by the limitations of cross-race communication in her predominantly white town, a young African American girl teaches herself to sign. Years later, Laurel uproots her husband and daughters from their downwardly mobile, overeducated, and underpaid life in the South End of Boston for Cortland County, Massachusetts. The Freemans are to take part in an experiment: They've been hired by a private research institute to teach sign language to a chimpanzee. Told primarily from the point of view of Laurel's elder daughter, Charlotte, the novel shifts in time from the early 1990s to the founding of the institute in the 1930s to the present day. With language both beautiful and accessible, Greenidge examines that time in each person's life when we realize the things we thought were normal may be anything but. Critic Reviews: "Kaitlyn Greenidge's debut novel slips a very skillful knife under the skin of American life. This is a story about family, about language, about history, and its profound echoes. In particular, she is surgically brilliant when it comes to the issue of race: She pushes the story into brand new territory. The novel does what all good art should do - it creates an appearance of ease, but then it returns to haunt and question us. This is an allegory that pays tribute to Ellison, to Morrison, to Wideman and Doctorow, and it is every bit as necessary and provocative as Colson Whitehead's The Intuitionist." (Colum McCann) "Kaitlyn Greenidge's debut novel reminds us that is an exciting time to be reading fiction. We Love You Charlie Freeman is a masterful meditation on race, anthropology, history, and the hurly-burly complications of family. Greenidge's prose is incisive, clever, resounding with a deep intelligence. Her characters and their universes hum with yearning as they guide us into its most secret and uncanny of places. Full of humor and aching, We Love You Charlie Freeman stands to be an important debut from an important writer." (Bill Cheng, author of Southern Cross the Dog) Members Reviews: Amazing I heard about this book listening to Heidi Durrow's podcast, The Mixed Experience. Ms. Durrow interviewed the author and I was intrigued. The idea of an African-American family raising a chimpanzee as a member of their family seemed unreal. This story is one of humor and sorrow. And, it is one that I wholeheartedly recommend.

The only negative that I have for this book, is the wait for the next installment. Any additional comments? Denesha Dimond you are the queen of urban fiction. I am definately a fan for life. Keep up the good work. MIND BLOWING! ! I can not hardly wait until next week for King Divas omg!! boss divas was amazing.

Title: Little Scarlet Subtitle: An Easy Rawlins Mystery Author: Walter Mosley Narrator: Michael Boatman Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 07-14-04 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 278 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Just after devastating riots tear through Los Angeles in 1965, when anger is high and fear still smolders everywhere, the police turn up at Easy Rawlins' doorstep. He expects the worst, as usual. But they've come to ask for his help. A man was wrenched from his car by a mob at the riots' peak and escaped into a nearby apartment building. Soon afterward, a redheaded woman known as Little Scarlet was found dead in that building, and the fleeing man is the obvious suspect. But the man has vanished. The police fear that their presence in certain neighborhoods could spark a new inferno, so they ask Easy Rawlins to see what he can discover. The vanished man is the key, but he is only the beginning. Easy enlists the help of his longtime friend Mouse to break through the shroud. And what Easy finds is a killer whose rage, like that which burned in the city for weeks, is intrinsically woven around deep-set passions, feelings echoed within Easy himself. Rawlins's hunt for the killer reveals a new city emerging from the ashes, with the promise of a new life for Easy, Mouse, and his old friends Jackson Blue and Jewelle. Mosley's lean and musical vernacular captures the heat and the rhythm of Los Angeles' heart, where danger is the common currency of everyday life. Little Scarlet is further proof that Mosley is "a master of mystery" (New York Times Book Review). Critic Reviews: "This is Mosley's best novel to date....Fierce, provocative, expertly entertaining, this is genre writing at its finest." (Publishers Weekly) "Mosley remains a master at showing his readers slices of history from the inside, from a perspective that is all those things history usually isn't: intimate, individual, and passionate." (Booklist) "Walter Mosley's latest Easy Rawlins novel serves up both mystery and history....Does a thoughtful, effective job of making that sense of racial outrage pivotal to its murder plot....Mr. Mosley interweaves the main mystery plot with an elaborate skein of his established characters and situations." (The New York Times) Members Reviews: Little Scarlet (Unabridged) I enjoyed this audio book and found it hard to turn it off. Easy's supporting cast of characters (with the exception of Mouse) are not very strong but the story is well narrated. I am a long time fan of Mr. Mosley and I think this is one of his best. I grew up in Compton and watts during 60s riot I know all the streets in this book. I love Walter Moslems writing and was blessed to meet him at Tulisoma. he inspires my own writing so far great read one of the best in the rawlins' series so far. to read this vs hearing it id still never put the book down till it was finished The Adventure Continues I love Walter Mosley's creations because he takes me into his world of love/hate; of hide/seek; of life/death and of despair/hope. I can't wait to get the next case of Easy's Mosley delivers it Easy! Great story. You never see it coming, then when it hits, you're like wow! Super good job

It was cleverly written with whimsical characters. I really enjoyed this book. Not as Red Hot as the title I loved the stories of of Mink La Rue and the Dominion family, but this installment wasn't as juicy as the previous books. I think that it may be preparing us for the next book so it was just a filler book but it was very slow paced and boring. The sex scenes weren't as juicy as the previous books either. Noire I love your work but this one wasn't my favorite. I can't wait to see what happens next installment because the end of the book is what woke me up. The performance was phenomonal nonetheless. Loved it. just and real rich people hood' Worth the credit, love the entire series. Very well narrated it is a story you can listen to over and over! msnanna read the series several times very good books..ready for more misadventures of Mink L aRue. .. Thumbs Up!

Bad Boy Brawly Brown Audiobook by Walter Mosley

Title: Bad Boy Brawly Brown Subtitle: An Easy Rawlins Mystery Author: Walter Mosley Narrator: M. E. Willis Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-02 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 167 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: John thinks Brawly may be caught up in a dangerous situation. He's right. Brawly has become involved with the First Men. And when Aldridge Brown, Brawly's father, is murdered, Easy soon finds himself again under suspicion by racist cops, again in the company of desperate, dangerous men. Through it all, Easy is guided by the spirit of his old lethal ally and friend Raymond "Mouse" Alexander. Mouse speaks to Easy from beyond the grave, guiding him, cajoling him. And it is something Mouse once said to him that may help Easy save Brawly's life - without costing him his own. Listen to a conversation with . Critic Reviews: "Mosley's crime novels take their vitality from the racy language and boisterous humanity of his characters, so these neighborhood encounters provide their own joy." (The New York Times Book Review) "Mosley illuminates time and place with a precision few writers can match." (Publishers Weekly) "Stands on its own as a powerful human drama and a vividly re-created historical moment." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Mazing This book was great !!! Strong suggest listening to it. More classic Mosley--without Mouse It's amazing to me how much Mouse--Raymond Alexander--haunts this novel. There's some odd revision going on---prob'ly only noticeable if, like me, you're listening to the books one right after another. The narrator, ME Willis, is pretty good. He uses more accents to distinguish between characters, especially the women. It can be a bit jarring, since characters from previous novels (with different narrators) suddenly have these whole other ways of talking. The accent for Primo is lousy---pure Frito Bandito. Plus, I guess I just got hooked on Stanley Bennet Clay's characterization of Mouse and Primo. Missing Mouse I really love the books, this is the first one of the series I've heard on tape...wasn't real keen on the reader's voice. Didn't like the way he did Juice or Primo's voice. A good read though I'm missing Mouse. Narration a bit over the top at times I thought the storyline was pretty good but not sure why Easy keeps getting himself arrested over and over and OVER again but still continues to take these detective jobs. The narrator is a nice rich baritone but his interpretation of all the "ethnic" voices (i.e. Black, Latin, Asian) were extremely exaggerated, esp Jesus and Feather. Ad .I Okay, but I miss Mouse with Easy a d the way things use to be. Probably won't go further.

The Mother Audiobook by Yvvette Edwards

Title: The Mother Author: Yvvette Edwards Narrator: Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: The author of the critically acclaimed A Cupboard Full of Coats makes her debut with a provocative and timely novel about an emotionally devastated mother's struggle to understand her teenage son's death, and her search for meaning and hope in the wake of incomprehensible loss. The unimaginable has happened to Marcia Williams. Her bright and beautiful sixteen-year-old son Ryan has been brutally murdered. Consumed by grief and rage, she must bridle her dark feelings and endure something no mother should ever have to experience: she must go to court for the trial of the killer - another teenage boy - accused of taking her son's life. How could her son be dead? Ryan should have been safe - he wasn't the kind of boy to find himself on the wrong end of a knife carried by a dangerous young man like Tyson Manley. But as the trial proceeds, Marcia finds her beliefs and assumptions challenged as she learns more about Ryan's death and Tyson's life, including his dysfunctional family. She also discovers troubling truths about her own. As the strain of Ryan's death tests their marriage, Lloydie, her husband, pulls further away, hiding behind a wall of secrets that masks his grief, while Marcia draws closer to her sister, who is becoming her prime confidante. One person seems to hold the answers - and the hope - Marcia needs: Tyson's scared young girlfriend, Sweetie. But as this anguished mother has learned, nothing in life is certain. Not any more. A beautiful, engrossing novel that illuminates some of the most important and troubling issues of our time, The Mother is a moving portrait of love, tragedy, and survival - and the aftershocks from a momentary act of cruel violence that transforms the lives of everyone it touches. Members Reviews: Part Story of a Mother's Grief, Part Courtroom Drama This novel kicks off with an incredibly powerful first chapter that pulled me in immediately, even though it was obvious this would be an emotionally difficult read. The Mother is part story of a motherâs grief, part courtroom drama, part portrait of griefâs impact on a marriage, and part statement about race, poverty, and what happens to people born into a rough life on the streets. Edwardsâ simple, yet impactful writing and powerful images take the reader on the emotional roller coaster ride of the trial along with Marciaâfeeling how each subtle change in momentum sends Marciaâs emotions either tumbling or soaring. As the story progresses, the bookâs feel changes from quieter to more action-packed, culminating in a particular scene that that felt out of place. I really loved that quieter book and a part of me wishes the ending had maintained the same emotions-focused feel. Despite my lack of love for some aspects of the ending, The Mother is a powerful book in a compact package and would make an excellent book club selection. Check out my blog, Sarah's Book Shelves, for more reviews. Thought provoking; an excellent (sad) read This book is effective at putting the reader into the mind of a mother left to pick up the pieces of her life after she has violently lost her only child. It addresses numerous social problems and personal trials including racism, poverty, abuse, loss, guilt, and forgiveness. Despite the serious and very sad events depicted, it is ultimately a book about healing and hope. Heartbreaking I lost a child to illness, so this was a hard read for me.

Title: Redemption in Indigo Author: Karen Lord Narrator: Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 140 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: This fascinating debut by Karen Lord - a retelling of a Senegalese folktale - earned starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Booklist and won the Frank Collymore Award. When Paama finally leaves her gluttonous husband, she attracts the attention of the undying spirit Patience, who gives her Chances Chaos Stick as a gift. But Chance insists that only he should wield the sticks powers. Critic Reviews: This is one of those literary works of which it can be said that not a word should be changed. (Booklist) Members Reviews: An unusual and entertaining book This book is a refreshing change from many standard fantasy story lines. Thoroughly enjoyable. Best of Audible SFF, June 2011 Published by Small Beer Press in July 2010 and on several year???s best fantasy lists, Karen Lord???s Redemption in Indigo finally arrived at Audible on June 15, courtesy of a Recorded Books production, narrated by Robin Miles. Miles has 56 Audible titles to her credit, but this was my first, though her 2010 narration of Ekaterina Sedia???s The House of Discarded Dreams is waiting for me on my wish list for one of these days. Redemption in Indigo is a short listen at a shade under six and a half hours, and it???s well worth discovering. The overall arc of the story comes under the frame of a storyteller relating the events, complete with asides (such as ???we???ll learn more about this later???) and informalities (such as ???let us skip forward through time a bit so as to miss the boring parts???) and footnotes and digressions. The story comes across in a playful, light way, the way of an elder telling a favorite story around a village campfire. This is a wonderful change of pace not just from the battlefields and seriousness of much of the rest of fantasy these days, but also in its leisurely pace, delighting on simple surroundings imbued with the mythological references which have been passed down through the generations. As a work of oral storytelling goes, this one???s a keeper, and I???m glad I was able to enjoy it in this format. An entertaining story. Any additional comments? An entertaining story. I felt like a folk tale more than anything else, but those that enjoy other books of this type will like this one. Great for some, but not for all This story was a little out of the genre of books I listen to, so that may be why I had a hard time finishing. The story seemed somewhat interesting (at parts) but it did not captivate me nor did I feel invested in the characters to care about what happened to them. Everybody talks about what an extraordinary person Paama is, but I couldn't tell from the book what she did to deserve this other than cook well. The qualities the sisters gave seemed unfounded. In fact, I was a bit confused with who was who for a good portion of the book. It seems like the djombi had like 3 names a piece. There were some great lessons in the book but I also didn't get clarity on a few of them. I'm sure this is a great book for some, hence the many 5 star reviews, but I'm clearly not the author's target audience. The narrator did a great job though. I did enjoy listening to her varied voices and accents. I could feel her smiling through almost the entire book. Cute story, read with perfection Lighthearted, but leaves a lasting impression. Would recommend to a friend and/or share with a child. A Beautiful read story

Good story otherwise loved it love it would read again, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time OK read too many characters...the end was good,,but too much going on book. almost didn't finish. but just ok This was a very entertaining story.

Trouble seems to follow Cameron wherever she goes; yet, older and a bit wiser, will she able to make better decisions not only for herself but for her family as well?

As a father and soon-to-be husband, he realizes that he has to do what he has to do to make ends meet - and that involves getting mixed up with some less than reputable people. Taking part in a shady business seems to be the only alternative for Jude, but it may also come with a price as well as put his family in jeopardy. New and old characters return, adding more to Cameron's load of troubles. Will she and Jude be able to make it out okay, or will they ultimately be consumed by it all? Members Reviews: I enjoyed this book very much I enjoyed this book very much. The story line was great. Jade Jones does a wonderful job in getting the reader emotionally involved in not only this book, but this entire series. One concern I have or maybe it's just a question in my head is when will Cameron ever stop being a dumb b*#ch? I'm sure I'm one of very few of the readers who are probably wishing and hoping Jude would leave her whorish a$$ alone for good. She's never going to learn. Jude, you really can't help but to like the dude even though he can't seem to stay on the right side of the law. Everything he does, he does it for his family, so I understand his hustle. I just wish he could understand that he can still do things for his son without having to deal with Cameron's trifling a$$. Love is love so I guess she's with it. On to Cameron 5. OMG....DRAMA! I'm just numbed with this one first let me say I love the title because it is definitely "OLD HABITS". When will Cameron ever learn from her past experience, but I do like where at the end she has finally trying to grow up. Jude I just love him I love a man with a good heart that isn't afraid to love whole heartily. I can't wait until the next one and please let there be some happiness for Cameron & Jude because they both have been threw so much. This was a good read. Cameron 4 By: Jade Jones Published By: Jaded Publications Age Recommended: Adult Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: 5 Series: Cameron 1-2 & 3 Review: "Cameron 4" by Jade Jones was the fourth in a series of the Cameron series and it was indeed up there with all of the others...great writing by this author. This series had me on the edge of my seat only turning the pages all the way till the very end...and then I see we are left hanging. Go job Ms. Jones! In this series you will find yourself on a 'emotional roller coaster ride' that doesn't let up ... even to be found in the very end of this read for these two characters Cameron and Jude. This read is told by a great story teller that knows how to keep her readers attention that will only leave you wanting more.

And once alliances splinter and explosive revelations rip apart their empire, one diva's revenge will become the ultimate deadly reign. Between total gang exterminations and brutal collateral damage, the stakes have never been higher for the women of the Dirty South. Good-girl-gone-lethal Ta'Shara is in for the fight of her life - her own. To work a dangerous truce, Vice Lord ex-chief Lucifer pulls a deadly play as wrenching secrets put her at ground zero. Beautiful Cleo will do anything to destroy the man now controlling her - and no killer price is too high. And as police captain Hydeya Hawkins closes in on gangland's elite, she'll fight to survive her department's dirtiest secrets. Now these queen divas have each other dead in their sights - and only one can live to rule. Members Reviews: Them Diva's final chapter Yes, I am glad these ladies story can finally come to a close. We finally get to put all the pieces back together and see who comes out on top and learn what happens to the ones we got attached to. The Diva series was very captivating from beginning to end. I loved some characters and hated others like that bish Lachelle. I was happy and sad at the many thing that happened throughout all the books. I even found myself disgusted at things that happened to different characters. I wonder if there will be a spin off based on what we learn at the very end. Go Miss Diamond for creating a series of books that I felt a part of. The performances were stellar at all times this was a allstar cast. once you start reading you won't want to stop because you will always want to know, What will happen next? This series is very hood and raw so if you have weak stomach or are a softy don't read this book here. This Series is Sooo F'in GOOD! I was on edge since book 1, literally stressed out about fiction! De'nesha took me on an awesome street literature ride. I love all the characters good and bad but, I must say all characters had a bad side. The ending was extremely smooth and thought about, unlike most sagas they end abruptly with less detail. I recommend anyone who is interested in the "Divas" series by De'nesha Diamond start from the beginning "Hustlin Divas"and take the exciting ride and hold on because its gong to be a bumpy one. excellent end to an excellent series. Tashara and Prophet's love story line was sad and fulfilling. The family ties and how everyone was connected was better than the Young and the restless One of the best series ever!! Loved it!!! De'Nesha Diamond never disappoints!!! Well worth the wait. Once I started listening I didn't want to stop. Absolutely loved the whole series. Review by Tiffany G. LAAAAAAAAWD HA'MERCY!!! This whole series has had me clutching my pearls for these past 3 or 4 weeks since I started and finished! And NOW that a whole NEW WEB of secrets is about to begin, De'Nesha PLEEEEAAASE don't leave us hanging! An entirely new series has GOTSA be on the way and SOON!!!!

And with beauty, education, and a hustler's ambition, she proved just about everyone who doubted her wrong. Making it to the top wasn't easy, but with her brother Ru, and his crew behind her, she was destined to make it happen. But she soon learns what goes up must come down and that having a few secrets of her own may just come back and bite her in the ass along with tearing her relationship with her brother apart at the same time. Ru had been raising Keyshia since she was a little girl, ever since their crack head mother ran off and left them for dead. After he steps up and does what he knows best, which is getting money, it's only fair he takes his right hand man Cashmere with him. But what happens when they both end up facing 20 years in the feds? With his wifey Tandy by his side, Ru is prepared for anything as long as she is riding. But will she ride when she finds out Ru's been hiding secrets of his own? Cashmere was the hood's hot commodity for as long as he could remember. Fast cars, pretty bitches, and racks of money were nothing new to him. Neither was going to jail. But after getting done dirty by his baby momma, he realizes the only person he ever loved was Keyshia, but being with Keyshia meant betraying his right hand man, something he wasn't sure he wanted to do. What happens when Keyshia's big secret is revealed, will Cash still want her or will he write her off like all the other bitches who done him dirty? It's a thin line between loyalty and love, and with secrets on the horizon not everyone is strong enough to make it. Members Reviews: Entertaining Very entertaining book. Well worth my money and I will be reading the next book in this series. Couldn't Stop Listening!! A very good and drama-filled listen.

Hopefully there is a second book. Good Read This was a good read but i'm upset that there isnt an audible book for the two remaining books in the series. I NEED THE OTHER AUDIO BOOKS!!! I enjoyed the book I really enjoyed the book are you do you don't really know I listen to books like this but I really really enjoyed it keep the good work up girl looking forward to your next one Love it still Still love keyshia and cash they are one of my favorites in the book love the whole series

Also includes a sneak peek at Hoodlum 2: The Good Son: From the moment Animal's former lover Red Sonja showed up on his doorstep, he knew trouble wouldn't be far behind. It wasn't because the last time he'd seen her, he had been fleeing for his life from a strange island. Nor was it because of the little girl she had in tow, claiming Animal was the father. It was because women like Red Sonja carried trouble around with them like designer purses. He knew getting involved with Sonja again would come at a price, but he had no idea how steep the price would be until it was too late. With his wife gone and his children abducted by a ruthless drug cartel, Animal must lead a suicide mission into the lair of one of the most dangerous assassins in the world, a woman who calls herself Tiger Lily. To go against Tiger Lily and the cartel, Animal would need an army, so the call to arms is put out and the streets readily answer. Leading a handful of loyal souls against seemingly insurmountable odds, Animal races against the clock to save his children and put a stop to Tiger Lily and the cartel's plans, while trying to stay one step ahead of the two detectives following the trail of bodies. Things take an unexpected turn when Animal learns a dark truth hidden beneath what he had been led to believe that changes everything, including who can be trusted. When the Grand Design his father had always spoken of is finally revealed, Animal will be forced to make the hard choice between love, loyalty, and vengeance.

Annette Goode couldn't be happier with where she is in life. She has a good job, a comfortable home, and a wonderful husband and daughter. But tough times lie ahead. Out of the blue, Annette begins receiving anonymous hate mail and threatening phone calls. It seems her life isn't as settled as she thought, and demons from her past surface in unexpected ways. Now Annette is forced to question everything from her husband's faithfulness to her lifelong friendships. God Don't Play delivers the riveting drama that Monroe's fans have come to expect. The story is powerfully told through the narration of acclaimed vocal artist Patricia Floyd. Members Reviews: Interesting I enjoyed this book, although I knew the outcome at the beginning. The redeeming factor in a situation like this is the unfolding of the story, and there I think the author did a good job of getting to the obvious. It was a bit drawn out and repetative, but a good book nonetheless. The narrator was annoying, too may "MOUTH" sounds going on, but tolerable. Monroe take your own advice . .God help this book This book is a waste of time and money... the reactions to every misfortune were unreal. The fat references were terrible - seems the author thinks fat and ugly are partners. It took all I had to finish hoping the end would . .? Well it didn't...shallow characters, mindless plot. Sorry this is my first negative review which is hurtful for me. Awkward Pauses What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The narrator was horrible! There were a ton of awkward pauses and mouth noises from the narrator. Would you recommend God Don't Play to your friends? Why or why not? I would recommend that my friends read this book not listen to the awful audio book What didnt you like about Patricia Floyds performance? I enjoyed Patricia's performance in the second book in the series, but the pauses and the mouth noises were too much Great Story, Terrible Narrating As usual, Mary Monroe delivered and excellent story. The narrator took a lot pauses, and the rainy was just bad. Overall though, the story was very good. ENJOYED JUICY STORY NOT THE JUICY MOUTHED NARRATOR Ok I was intrigued from the beginning story "God Don't Like Ugly" and I really like the Patricia Floyds voice.. BUT THE NASTY JUICY MOUTH SOUNDS AND CONSTANT SWALLOWING during this performance made me question just how badly I wanted to see if Annette was going to figure out whose the mystery person.. I will continue on with the series. But man.. I would love not hearing the NASTY MOUTH SOUNDS .. I would recommend this series, love the story and Rhoda is too wild..

They may not be wealthy but they're rich in integrity and loyalty--not to mention sex appeal. They just need the right women to share their world. . . At thirty, eldest brother Byron hasn't dated seriously in a while--not since he became a single dad to his beloved baby girl. Besides, he's found that most women can't see past his job as a bus driver, and he's not interested in that type of superficial foolishness. When he meets Cynthia Hall, her disinterest is obvious. Still, there's something about her. . . Cynthia has been successful in her career and unlucky in love. But those two worlds collide when Byron ends up in her office on business. It's a coincidence that casts him in a very different light than she's previously seen. Too bad he's not the upscale professional Cynthia had in mind. Yet given the chance, she might discover that while money can't buy happiness--a loving and passionate man can ©2015 Zuri Day (P)2015 Recorded Books Members Reviews: Good Book Lol, this book was actually good. I been having a debate with myself and wondering if Bryon is a big guy or not. But when he said muhfa and she started saying it had me dead weak. Lol glad she chosen Bryon in the end. Lord knows I couldn't stand Cynthia mom at all. Re-Listen a million times over. 5 stars all day. This my first by the author and I love it!!! Shari Peele never disappoints. Enjoyable! It was very enjoyable to listen to a story about a man sweeping a woman off her feet and not wealthy. Just making the right choices to make his woman happy without a balling out of control budget. cute and realistic love when a story is realistic and easy to listen to. I love the presentation of this book Don't judge a book by its cover - 2 snaps Awesome read. 1st I love everything Zuri Day. I haven't read a bad book yet. Although home girl maybe a bit bougier (sp) than me, I can totally relate. Her and her crew are educated middle/upper and desire men of the same socio-econ status. I don't see anything wrong with that. Sometimes, God places people n your path for whatever reason. I think this book painted a picture stating no one is better than the next - we are all people. Buuuut, that mama though - way to0 much. There were very many developed & interesting parts. Very refreshing read. Enjoyed - I struggle w/Blue collared selections in men - who knows, I could be stifling my prospects.

When Kiara decides to test Rashad for real, her world turns upside down. Not only does he take the bait - it turns out he's had a mistress on the side for years. Now, betrayed and furious, Kiara will take all the sizzling erotic satisfaction Eddison can give - and forever flip the script on Rashad's infidelity. But secrets cut both ways, and Kiara soon finds that the only road to winning this game could lead to losing it all. Members Reviews: Good Book Spoilers I don't feel bad for Rashad at all that's what he gets. I was done for at the end when he was following them. Like now you see what good you has. But you want to cheat on a good woman. Now she's with someone who actually cares and now your with a psychopath. Lol but you don't want her even though she meets your needs boy bye. KARMA IS A MOTHER. I'm so glad that Kiera finally got rid of Rashad and gotten with Edison. I was praying for them to mess around. My heart was racing glad that Miles or Kiera didn't kill themselves. God work in mysterious ways. That was God work to stop her for killing herself. When Miles ran out into the street. Even though is a fiction but, it's not to far from the truth. Loved It!!! Mistresses Just Do The Worst !! Drama Drama Drama. How can the mistress accuse a man of cheating? There is an old saying "Be Careful How You Get Your Man; The Same Way You Got Him Is The Same Way You'll Lose Him". It never seizes to amaze me how men can have the world at home & still cheat. Sideline chicks come in a relationship knowing they are coming 2nd yet they catch feelings & all of a sudden they're mad because they can't be upgraded to the one & only. Really?? They set their self up for heartache in my opinion.. As Alexis mother said, married men RARELY ever leave their family for the mistress. Great Book. I would love to see if Rashad can get his wife back though. Always cherish what you have at home & never take them for granted. Sadly, you never know what you really have until its to late. I was all involved up in there..... Favorite character: Kiara/Kiera (The wife). I was really rooting for her. She was about her business, family, work and loving her man, until. Interesting to me: Although others knew Rashad (the husband) was married, they without hesitation dove in head first, with great expectations. Disliked: Man oh man, the ending, talk about abrupt. I had to look at my device to make sure I didnt hit something that made it skip to the end. I heard dude say, Audibles hopes you have .. There has to be a sequel, a book 2 or something, to0 many loose ends. I was torn about how I felt towards: the sister/mama/babysitter Overall: I was sucked in from the title, then the narrator did her thing.
