Members Reviews: Getting Some of Her Own By, Arlena (Broken Arrow, OK, United States) Getting Some of Her Own was a wonderful audible to listen to. The narrator did a wonderful job in telling the story. By having listened to Gwynne Forsters, "When Twilight Comes" this audible "Getting Some of Her Own" was a follow up to it. I found Getting Some of Her Own was very interesting in how the author put it all together. All of the characters were wonderful and it was hard for me to stop listening to it until it was finshed. Great job Gwynne Forster! I can't wait until I can get into another audible. I jumped right into the book! I felt like I really knew these characters and knew them. Very well written and warm story. I did not want this book to end. I noticed that there were some characters from a previous book, that was cool. I wish Audio would get more books by Gwynne Forster. Bravo! This would make a great movie. Narrator was excellent too. Amazing Great storyline.. fascinating. Life lessons taught.. I just love this author ..every teacher should embody their students to succeed https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Sweetest-Hallelujah-Audiobook/B00DRFTWP4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great read! Would you listen to The Sweetest Hallelujah again? Why? Yes, I loved the story and found it very easy to listen to. What did you like best about this story? The story of the struggles of a single dying mother and her bravery of trying to find someone to look after her daughter when she departs the world Which character as performed by Natalie Ross was your favourite? My favourite has to be the little girl Billie Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I could easily have done so if I had more free time. Any additional comments? I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I found it very easy to read and I found myself engrossed in it. It is a bittersweet story about a lovely and precious little girl named Billie, who is being brought up by her dying single Mother and her Grandma. This story is all about the path her brave mother takes to find someone to look after her daughter when she departs this world. She puts an add in a newspaper and when this particular person reads this advert she is intrigued and then a few shocks and revelations occur - without giving the game away things get resolved, that is all I will say. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Significant-Others-Audiobook/B00PHGYOB8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Wish there was more. Wanted a true family ending to this book. Need a Part 2 or an extended version. Thanks for a good read. Thought Provoking Significant Others is my first book by Sandra Kitt, which I found interesting and thought provoking. While I understand that racism is alive and well in 2015, I didn't realize that there was prejudice among different skin tones of African-Americans. This book is almost 20 years old, which was obvious with the tech references but most shocking to me were the racial slurs used by blacks toward other blacks. However, it taught me (mostly Caucasian) that I still have a lot to learn about how others feel. It was sad that the bi-racial teen Kent was pressured to choose between identifying with his white mother or black father, as if he loved one more than the other. Patricia, his high school counselor, was sympathetic to his feelings due to being a very light skinned black, often mistaken for white. PS. I really hate the terms black and white, since they sound like total opposites, when we are all actually various shades of ivory, tan, and brown. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Surviving-Cyril-Audiobook/B071ZT5346 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It took me 2 months to finish it. I figured if I paid for it, I may as well listen to it. I think it was supposed to make you feel all warm and fuzzy but it didnt do it for me. Very Good Read Andrea Smith did a great job with this book. I loved the characters, the plot and the narrator. I will definitly read other Smith books. Great read! I bought this as a hardback from Literary Guild last year, but I never had the time to read it. When I saw it here I decided to download it. Just as I suspected when I bought the hardback this story is a great read. The character were so real and I found that some of the characters had personalities like people I actually know. I enjoyed this story very much and I enjoyed the happy ending for the main character Bonnie. The Sisterhood of BlackBerry Corner Very moving story! The characters were so realistic. The narrator did an excellent job with the voices! Good but Slow Read This book was very hard to get into because it's a slow read. The book was good with a twist at the end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Few-of-Gods-Children-Audiobook/B00DDY770G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Non-poetic urban storytelling Bought the book based on the ratings and description (a lesson!) and was sorely disappointed by the excessive descriptives (do I REALLY need to know the details of what you're wearing and thinking EVERYTIME!?!) and overused idiomatic language (to substantiate the "downness", I suppose) that seemed to be a cover for telling a good story. I found myself rolling my eyes at the characters because I didn't like them and couldn't fit them into any reality. An urban tale spun by the ever so good looking, great job, hood to riches, quick witted (not really), got-it-all-together characters left me wanting. There was absolutely NO depth or sincerity. I'd advise the author to look at the writings of Diane McKinney-Whetstone or JD Mason to see how soulful love stories are spun. Black love is a beautiful thing and deserves a good telling. Great Listen Despite some other reviews, I thought this was pretty good. It kept my attention and some parts were even comical. I enjoyed it. Awful I must agree with the first listner, this book was a waste of time and credit. Really Cute!!!! If you could sum up Heard It All Before in three words, what would they be? cute, entertaining, just really good What did you like best about this story? I liked how we got both male and female perspectives to show how they both think about a situation and can look at it very differently What about the narratorss performance did you like? It really did the story justice, i liked all the back and forth Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Any additional comments? This is a very fun listen interesting read Where does Heard It All Before rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book does rank fairly high in my library. The implementing of four narrators to assume the role of each character does allow a better comprehension of their mind set, especially the male mindset since it is reflecting their POV. What other book might you compare Heard It All Before to and why? A bit more spice and it could hold its own to a Zane manuscript.

It is so refreshing to finally hear a good book. Everything about this book was superb -- from the character development, plot twists, storyline and suspense. And on top of all that, I got to enjoy Ezra Knight's sexy voice for hours at a time. All good things must come to an end, but I anxiously await another book by the authors. Bravo! Great! Fantastic book! Can't wait for more books by Ms. Howard! Loved the ongoing sequel! Keep up the good work! good first time listening to this author. good one. i will use him again. on to the next one. Captivating Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. The story had a lot of drama in it. The author gave a good profile of each character so that it was easy to relate to them - even if you didn't like them. What was one of the most memorable moments of Success Is the Best Revenge? Tess Aventura Dubois' rise and fall. Have you listened to any of Ezra Knights other performances before? How does this one compare? Great as usual. He is such a good narrator that I sometimes search for books under his name. If you could rename Success Is the Best Revenge, what would you call it? Now the tables turn. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Conception-Audiobook/B002V00WHS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Barri Flowers Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: The Secrets of Paradise Bay is a romantic thriller by the best-selling author of The Hitman's Woman. Owner of a string of Northwest car dealerships and movie theaters, Trey Lancaster is living a life of wealth and leisure. But all is not well in Paradise Bay, Oregon. After cheating on his wife of seven years with the wife of a wealthy client, Trey is trying to get past this moment of weakness, knowing that he loves his wife and no one else. But Ivana Kendall-Lancaster, former international model, has not been as easy to forgive or forget. Having already dealt with the pain of a miscarriage and her husband's infidelity, she turns to alcohol, only adding to the couple's woes. Trey's brother, Clyde, enters the picture. Newly released from prison after serving nine years for aggravated assault and carrying a secret that links the crime to Trey, Clyde wants only to put the past behind him and try and make a new life for himself. But a former-friend turned enemy is determined to settle an old score, placing Clyde and his family in peril. When Trey offers to take him in just till he gets back on his feet, Clyde accepts, even if there has been no love lost between the brothers. Clyde has always resented being in the shadow of his college-educated and successful brother, while Trey is still upset that Clyde rejected his advice and got caught with the wrong crowd. Due to his incarceration, Clyde was unable to attend their mother's funeral five years ago. Trey, feeling guilty for not doing more to help his brother before he got into trouble, wants to let bygones be bygones and make things right.

If so, why? Absolutely! We share audio books all the time and we mostly enjoy suspense/thrillers What did you like best about this story? I really loved the male/female dialogue between Ivana and Clyde Lancaster. There was intense chemistry and dealing with the taboo issues between brothers and wives. The dual narration was a really enjoyable change from your typical single narrator book; wherein , most guys can't do female characters that great and vice versa. All the characters were believable and very well defined. Romance - suspense - action - it was all in The Secrets of Paradise Bay. I felt bad when 'you-know-who-' was eliminated at the climax of the book. I feel sorry for people who get involved with the wrong sorts. It never ends up well. Have you listened to any of Bella Czars other performances before? How does this one compare? Not yet ... but I am absolutely going to start following them and their productions. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Ivana admits to Trey she had an affair .. she was so humbled at that point after so much time of being angry and bitter towards him. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/We-Take-This-Man-Audiobook/B003MRHY1Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Seriously? I'm divorced. I have a divorce decree from a court to prove it. I stood in front of a judge, signed my name, had a witness and got a file copy back in the mail. I didn't hear it from someone. I didn't assume it went through. I know I'm divorced. So how (in hell) could someone "think" they're divorced? And when the "wifeys" find out, is there any chance (in hell) of them living together like one big, happy family while they share a man? Seriously, I think not! Crazy story This book was pretty good. At first you feel like there is some good in the characters but then I just feel like they are childish and ridiculous. Tracy is selfish and childish for refusing to move to another state with her husband forcing him to commute by plane back and forth just to be with his family. When he starts feeling lonely and neglected he starts a whole new family with Alicia who has no problem sleeping with someone else's husband. The arrangement they had to live together in polygamy was just absolutely ridiculous. The narrating sounded a little funny to me and I think that was on audible part not the actual narrators. Speechless I am still on the edge of my seat after finishing this book! The twists and turns kept coming and with a vengeance. Your allegiance will waiver as the story unfolds Wonderful One of my all time favorites! Narrator was great, but needed man's voice for Dwight I would have loved a different ending. Tracy should have been found out and should not have ended up married to Dwight. Alicia, although naive should have found love and had a family in the end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/In-Love-and-War-Audiobook/B0041LZYUA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I've been a fan of Millner and Chiles before they started writing novels. I've always enjoyed the he/she style of their writing. I was prepared to be throroughly entertained with this book. And I was for about half of the book. The story is basic and predictable but Denene and Nick have a way of making the predictable, funny and engaging. I was enjoying the book when boom! It was over! I felt slighted. Sometimes when you watch movies, you expect for things not to always be resolved, so you go and read the book. Well I felt like this book was the movie. I was left hanging. I started searching for part two (because I was listening to the audio book) but I was already on part two. I then thought, there has to be another book but could not find one. This book leaves a lot of loose ends. No prologue, nothing. I was dissappointed. I really hope that the authors think about doing a follow up to continue and complete the story. It's a book, it can be as long as you need it to be, not a movie. Great summer read Very entertaining! The perfect love story for summer reading. Everyone will recognize something in the story and connect with Daria and James. More War Would you try another book from Nick Chiles and Denene Millner and/or Caroline Clay? Yes. This book was interesting enough to make me want to try another. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? It started off well, but then it was too slow. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Married-But-Still-Looking-Audiobook/B002V02MIU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Today's Black Woman) Members Reviews: Good Read Most of the time I sit at my desk and listen to books to make it through the day while working. This book was down to earth and very easy to listen to. The readers voice kept you motivated to listen. So true to life for so many people not just African American. We struggle with decisions in choosing a partner and old baggage that we carry with us for years. Pretty Good! This was a pretty good book! It turned out much better than I expected. It was a good read/listen! Awesome This listen was great...just like a good read...I couldn't put it down. I truly enjoyed how the author went into detail on the history of the characters to bring you up to speed on their lives in the present. I Am Sold For Every Forthcoming Book! I am a fan of Travis Hunter for life. He gives his characters meaningful depth and personality. He presents them as underdogs but that come out wearing a "hero's cape." He does it every time. Like every one of his books, "Married But Still Looking" encourages my belief that black men are worth every heartache, joy, tear, laughter, pain and toe curling moment that makes me love them so much more. He doesn't dehumanize men but rather let's the reader know that all hope is not lost, not even in the slightest. This is a definite recommended read, as is all of Travis' books are. Did I forget to mention that the narrator, Ezra Knight, brings ALL characters to life. His voice is mesmerizing and he adds so much depth to each character, even the ones you don't want to like. Please don't ever replace him as narrator, he's the best I've heard yet and I have listened to more than my fair share of books. Real Life Advice for Real Life Issues This story gets a little deep into real life issues with advice that most of us accept as good common sense. I enjoyed this read and would recommend to those who's looking for a good story that holds your interest with unexpected twists and turns. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Searching-for-Right-Audiobook/B00GGO68FK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Anyone that reads this story will be blessed. I liked how Brittney included realistic themes in the book. I felt like I was right there with the characters.

Members Reviews: HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The narrator is so damn bad, if the story was good. I have never heard anyone as horrible as this person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this must be a horrible joke.ONE STAR IS WAY TOO MUCH Narration totally ruined it... I didn't even finish this because the narration is just sooo bad... What happen to Pepper... Dez Burke writes very good and quick erotic stories and I sure this one was no exception...but I just can't finish this with this narration.. Don't waste your money! The narrator on this book is horrible. I wished I would have looked at the reviews before purchasing this book. I just purchased because it was a Dez Burke book. I love her BWWM books. But this was an epic fail. Dez, the narrator need to give you a refund. Never hire her again. Continue to get Pepper Laramie or Muffy Newtown. Both of them was good on your books. Also please do not write another book with just 1 sex scene. I like the spice in books, especially in Skin Deep (my favorite), Trapped into marriage, Gents 4Ladies, Claimed by the marine, and your Steel Infidels series. All great books. I am just going to assume you were not at a good place in your life when you wrote this book. Please continue to make good books. Narrator not so good Narrator's performance not vey good almost robotic. Very choppy. No flow with the words with an elementary in delivery. It took away from the story. Don't buy. Save your credit or money. WORST NARRATOR EVER!!!! I am a Dez Burke fan, but this "audio" book is a lost cause. I read the book and enjoyed it. I didn't get through chapter two of the audio version and I am not going to try again. My 10 year old granddaughter would do better; at least she loves to read. PLEASE Dez, keep Liz Levine away from your audio books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Reparations-I-The-Attorneys-Audiobook/B00TR36VSQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Thrilling, Entertaining and Engaging What made the experience of listening to Dynasty 3 the most enjoyable? The story teller delivered the novel and put me on the page. It was a great experience. What was one of the most memorable moments of Dynasty 3? I was impressed with a scene where it was explained was a man really a snitch, or not. What about Caujuan Akim Mayos performance did you like? The narrator was a beast. Many scenes were delivered to perfection, except that he pronounced seethed incorrectly throughout. It didnt distract from the story, but sounded weird. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I wanted to keep listening. Any additional comments? Dutch 3 is the first novel that I listened to in this series, and I was hooked right into the plot. I enjoyed the family drama. Vee is the man, and I like how he played throughout. In the end, Dutch 3 is the perfect fare for frequent fliers and people with time to enjoy a great thriller. I got confused This was the type of book that needed different voices to be able to follow. I got the characters confused. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Team-Seven-Audiobook/B00KLIW900 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Team Seven Author: Marcus Burke Narrator: Arnell Powell, Simone Cook, James Shippy Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 05-29-14 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Set in the town of Milton, Team Seven follows young Andre Battel from age eight through his teenage years as he grows away from his Jamaican family, discovers genuine prowess on the basketball court, and eventually falls into a routine of dealing drugs for the local street gang, Team Seven. The story is told primarily through Andre's voice, but we also see things through the voices and points of view of his mother Ruby, a hard-working medical secretary, his older sister Nina, his mostly not-there-/usually-drunk-and-high father Eddie, a halfhearted reggae musician, and Reggie and Smoke, the kingpins of competing drug crews. What emerges is a rich portrait of a black family, a black community, and one young boy/man poised between youthful innocence and ambiguous experience. Critic Reviews: "This is a book about people engulfed from childhood in complexities that would baffle any wisdom... Team Seven achieves a rare degree of mature and compassionate insight. It is a remarkable first novel." (Marilynne Robinson, author of Housekeeping and Gilead) "(Team Seven) conforms to no vision other than its own, stands its own ground, and refuses to drift for even a sentence into any of the prefabricated narratives to which, in less artful hands, its characters' lives might be vulnerable. Filled all at once and irreducibly with violence and grace, despair and hope, and that most precious element, love, Team Seven will lay claim to the hearts and implicate the souls of everyone who reads it." (Paul Harding, author of Tinkers and Enon) "Team Seven speaks directly to you from its opening burst of beautiful lines: "Pop and Uncle Elroy smoke the strangest cigarettes I've ever smelled. They smell sort of like skunk juice and gasoline." You are in the best of hands with Marcus Burke and his clear-eyed prose. Down-to-earth, comic, deadly and ultimately incredibly moving, this is a book that will last."

It was ok, decently written, but I'm surprised something like this got published by such a big publisher. Okay Read I started off being bored, then somehow it caught my attention, then it left me hanging in the end. I didn't get the point of the story. But, it did captivate me and had me wanting to find out the end. The writer told a good story. The point and ending alludes me. Homeboy and Much More A solid novel that provides insights valuable to a broad audience. an interesting read Characters very well drawn. Very true to life with real neighbourhoods that you will get to know. This is an interesting slice of life. Four Stars Very good reading.

The plot line contained a few twists, but I had suspected the solution to the problem well before it was resolved. Regardless, of that, I still enjoyed this book. Wasn't Expecting It Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes i would, it was an eye opener Would you be willing to try another book from Sharon Allison Ottey? Why or why not? Yes, this story was well done What aspect of Patricia R. Floyds performance would you have changed? Nothing at all, I usually give anything that she narrates a try, she is one of my favorites If this book were a movie would you go see it? Probably MAKES YOU THINK I really liked this story. I think it's an eye opener for everyone. It really makes you think and reminds you that illness knows no color, race, etc. NOBODY is exempt. Great writing and great narrator. Wowsie! All she did was love a man. Who of us hasn't? This was a great reminder to be a little selfish and not feel guilty about putting ourselves first! Overrall a good read with a message. A little monotonous as I thought there were several points where she could have ended the story.

Members Reviews: This sucked I don't mind a trashy romance I don't even mind a sappy romance. This was neither and it was pointless. We all have little Madison in us! I loved it! Madison was definitely relatable and I think all women have that one friend like Lelee or that one girl we have judged before getting to know her! Just goes to show you can have all the riches in the world and still be unhappy. It's not until you find happiness within that your life will start to flourish! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Solemn-Audiobook/B01F2IIVY6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Just not good I listen to a lot of audio books and Im typically able to make it through each but about 1/3 of the way through (maybe less) I just couldnt continue. The story was all over the place and didnt really grab my attention. Although the story was supposed to be written in more modern times (2000s) it seemed as though the town in which the story took place was from the 80s or even further back. The story then had too many plot twist and didnt tie up loose ends. It was an awful read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Sweet-Revenge-A-Hood-Romance-Audiobook/B015G4HKPC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I want more! I want more! *chanting* Mike O, Ohhhh, Mike O! What else can I say but you are so wrong for leaving me hanging like this. I want more! This story was very well developed and you get to know the characters and their strengths and weaknesses. The description and sexual content in the book were well written and filled with imagination. What I like most about this book is the many real life topics you see the characters go through. This book actually has opened my eyes to what is going on in the minds of our youth and the things they deal with in their young lives. I also like how the author helps the readers put the puzzle pieces together so that you know the back story and the importance of some of the characters and can recognize their roles in the story. Lashone Garth is a good narrator and did ok but I think Celeste Graham would have did an awesome job too. I suggest this book to all my urban literature friends you won't want to put this one down. I can't wait for the sequel to see how the characters lives turn out based on everything that we now know. Good Job Mike O you did that and I want more! Smokin' Mirrors Would you listen to Smokin Mirrors again? Why? I would listen to the story again; it was very interesting, and I enjoyed it. What did you like best about this story? It was exciting and action packed, just what I enjoy in a book. What does LaShone Garth bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She made the story leap off the page and gave it life. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Listening to it definitely gave me a "no they didn't", experience. I couldn't wait to hear what was happening next. OMG a curve ball... Would you listen to Smokin Mirrors again? Why? YES I most definitely will What was one of the most memorable moments of Smokin Mirrors? When she contracted aids and didnt know it, then start spreading it around smh What about LaShone Garths performance did you like? She was great and on point... Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I was hype she had all my emotions going crazy... Any additional comments? I would love to hear more audible from Mike O. he had did a great job writing this.... I love to read it again.... Book was smokin from start to finish Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: Narrator doing a black Southern accent What didnt you like about Lisa Renee Pittss performance? This is the 2nd book I've listened to lately (yes, I checked to see if it was the same narrator but it wasn't) where the accent is a Southern Black voice when they are narrating a white person. Anyone from the South knows the difference and it is extremely frustrating to try and listen to... Please start getting actual Southerners to read books set in the South...or, at the least, use someone that knows the differences in how Southerners speak.... Any additional comments? I haven't finished this book yet but was compelled to stop and post this because it is distrating to listen to a Southern accent that isn't the CORRECT Southern accent... Completely takes away from the story... Rose's story is read with a Southern Black voice... Whites in Alabama do not speak that way.... Maybe to others this isn't such a distraction, but it's not authentic.... Outstanding Story and Narration! This is the story of two single mothers and their daughters - one black living in New Orleans and the other white, living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Their lives inadvertently and tragically intertwine after Hurricane Katrina. Like an onion being unpeeled, we begin to learn the backstory of each - their similarities and their differences - as we glimpse the way Katrina affected so many people and in such different ways. It is a well written story made even better by a superb narration. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Unforgiving-Audiobook/B00YD7F2SQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Free Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 05-28-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Sins from the past have left a lingering stench in the Mitchell family. Amid a tumultuous roller-coaster ride through financial ruin, professional humiliation, personal failure, and marital discord, Joel, the youngest son, who was once considered the most eligible bachelor, has finally come to terms with his shortcomings and self-centered decisions. Spurred by his estranged wife's troubled pregnancy, he decides to honor their marriage. Joel reaches out to the most unlikely person, his stepmother and long-time nemesis, Madeline Mitchell, pleading with her to let him back into the family business. Don, the eldest living son, has other plans and vehemently discounts Madeline's recommendation, not ready to trust his half brother Joel. Don has paid his dues, suffered years of rejection, and played second fiddle to his father's second family long enough. Feeling robbed of her rightful place in the company, Tamara, the only remaining heir to the Mitchell fortune, gets wind of what she considers to be her mother's and brother's betrayal. She is outraged that they're considering someone other than her for the CEO role. Refusing to lose out again to the whims of her family, Tamara writes off Madeline and Don as traitors, concocting her own way to get the upper hand. Harmony seems impossible for the Mitchell clan, with each step toward truce and reconciliation resulting in two backward steps shrouded in conflict. Unforgiving shoves years of conflict and bitterness to the edge, when everyone is forced to set aside their issues and come together in order to save DMI, the Mitchell legacy, and the life of a disturbed family member. They must learn painfully that forgiveness is the only path to restoration, and those who choose another route are bound to face unavoidable consequences. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Patricia Haley) Thu, 28 May 2015 20:16:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Unforgiving-Audiobook/B00YD7F2SQ thebookvoice.com 08:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Didn't really keep my attention I just couldn't seem to get into this story. It seemed to drag and be a bit boring, losing my attention during most of the book. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't get into it. Something was missing in the writing to pull me in. Loved the narrator, she's one of my favorites. Well... This book started out slow. Although I don't prefer to read about gay ppl the story did sort of climax once the gay brother entered the story. It was also refreshing to have him confess and work toward changing his life. was a good read but not worth recommending to others. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Man-Most-Worthy-Audiobook/B003MR9DWO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A Man Most Worthy is a lively story of love, ambition, sex, and friendship. At 36, self-made millionaire John Sebastian has it all - a booming business, a luxurious home, a gorgeous girlfriend, and the respect of his friends - but somehow it's not enough. Returning to the tough streets of Newark, New Jersey, he spots Josephine Flowers, the love of his life, the woman he allowed to walk away seven years ago. He is driven to reconnect with her, even though the cost to his pride is high, and even though she's now married to another. For only her blessing, her love, will prove to John that he is, at last, a man most worthy. Critic Reviews: "Major breathes life into an old formula with his vivid, fast-talking characters and his rich descriptions of their friendships, milieu and workplace politics. His pop culture references are well deployed to give the book a fresh-but not studied-feel." (Publishers Weekly) "This is an entertaining and insightful novel told from the male perspective."

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Wow! This book is addictive from the first word to the very last. Dickey watch out! An Excellent Read!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Marcus Major & Caroline Clay really did a great job! The heroines were completely believable and life-like, which is usually my biggest pet peeve with male authors trying to tell a story from the female perspective and failing...miserably! Caroline Clay read this book with perfect tonality and timing & delivering just what the author was attempting to relay and the heroes/heriones were undertaking. I will definitely be looking for more of Mr Major's works in print and audio as well as Ms Clay. Wonderful and smart The story was engaging. The dialogue between the characters was so believable and fun. The narrator was great! She portrayed each character perfectly. A love story you'll love to read (or listen) What made the experience of listening to A Man Most Worthy the most enjoyable? I enjoyed the storyline and humor. What other book might you compare A Man Most Worthy to and why? Not ONE comes to mind. What about Caroline Clays performance did you like? You felt he emotions of each character. If you could rename A Man Most Worthy, what would you call it? A think the title fits, but if i had to change it maybe A Woman's Worth. Any additional comments? Even though I enjoyed the storyline and humor, it's a little predictable at times. It's still a very good selection for your novel pleasure or book club discussion. It has plenty of material to fill a meeting's book discussion period. worthy read What did you love best about A Man Most Worthy? he never stop loving his first love. What other book might you compare A Man Most Worthy to and why? i am not sure What about Caroline Clays performance did you like? she did a good job Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? i did listen to it in one sitting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Pretty-Boy-Problems-Audiobook/B00A9ZME50 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The story was so predictable that it was boring. I wish there was a bigger story line to who was stealing her fashion designs instead of this predicable romance. I did not fall in love with this couple. This book was just okay, not an entertaining listen/read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Right-Play-Audiobook/B01B8MOVD0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: True Love Rekindled Nina and Evan were in love once upon a time but Evan broke her heart and disappeared from her life when she needed him most. He had a lot to make up for. Nina was raising her nephew Kyle after the accident that took his parents, her sister and brother-in-laws, lives. She also had to deliver their, her and Evan's, dead son...that he didn't know about because he left...only leaving a note that he had gone Pro. Yuk!!!! Not sure I could have forgiven him! Ruined by narration Just ruined by annoying narration. Not a good choice. And story too short.

And dont be from the The Bay Area CA, you will be relating, reminiscing and grinning through this heart-warming journey. Set in the 1970's, with UC protests, the Panther Movement, the freedom for exploration, the power of love to push it all forward! Fabulously entertaining and fiercely informative.

The Six Saviors Series in reading order:The Light Within Me, Finding My Faith, REBORN, Beverly's Rebirth, Destiny's Shift, Tangled Fates Members Reviews: Tangled indeed! What a great edition to the series! When I reviewed Destiny's Shift, the fourth book in this series, I stated that I felt the edition of new characters and a few twists really breathed new life into these books. That breath of fresh air still smells as sweet in this book as we get glimpses of our old favorite characters but really get to know the newer ones. Of course now the Saviors have more than Colonists to worry about as the government and The Platoon are now also an issue, presenting danger from all sides, which makes more room for twists and turns. This book definitely has plenty of them, some that will have you in tears. As a hero Cohen not only stacks up against the other Saviors, he kind of surpasses them a bit. For the longest Noah and Hudson were my favorites but Cohen might have just secured his place as favorite. I might need to reread the other books before I make up my mind :). I mean, what's not to love about a broken hero with a bad attitude. I don't know, for some reason I found Cohen's nasty attitude (he is a n SR44 male without his mate after all) to be incredibly sexy. Seriously, there must be some kind of instinct in women to want to fix the broken guy because our girl Annis is drawn to him too. Speaking of Annis.... All I can say about this character is: YES! She's a warrior like the others and she doesn't take any crap. She's blind during the day but doesn't let it bother her or rule her life. And when Cohen crosses the line, she is ready to yank him right back over and put him in his place. I loved their dynamic and the sexual tension that hummed throughout the book as they both wrestled with feelings of desire and dislike for one another. As a side note, I'll also say that as a black woman who is an avid reader of this series, I was loving the strong black heroine and the interracial love. I'd love to see more of that throughout this series (hint, hint Ms. Fall!) Just as I did with the last book, I really loved Blake's character. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Smooth-Play-Audiobook/B008BW0UJ0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The book was a very slow read and it didn't really have a good ending. Also the ending did not make me believe that there would be a sequeal. What really happened with the Mother? What do you think your next listen will be? The Otherside of Goodness Have you listened to any of Patricia R. Floyds other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, she is an excellent narrator You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not for me Any additional comments? no Boring and Slow Would you try another book from Gwynne Forster and/or Patricia R. Floyd? Not sure... What was most disappointing about Gwynne Forsters story? Her mother is not the normal person and the daughter is too naïve. How did the narrator detract from the book? Not very well for a well known narrator. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? DISAPPOINTMENT! Any additional comments? WHEW... BORING!!! What disappointed you about Breaking the Ties That Bind? The storyline was very boring. Her mother harrases her for money a couple times then it goes on and on detailing this boring love affair that never really gets started. Would you ever listen to anything by Gwynne Forster again? No never, I don't know how this even got published! I selected it because the narrator was one of my favorites.Now I know you can't use that as a way of selecting a good audiobook. I want my credit back. This was the worst book I ever attempted to listen too. Which scene was your favorite? Zzzzzzzzzzzz What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? total disappointment!!!! Different I like the story line of the mother it actually touched on my life a little. But I did not like how naive the main character seemed to be after growing up the way she did. I also didn't like how sheltered she seemed even though she was in her 30's. I can't imagine a woman growing up in the D.C. area and still out of touch with the culture. The story wrapped up to conveniently after all the drama then it was just happily ever after. GREAT READ!! Would you listen to Breaking the Ties That Bind again? Why? yes. not right away tho. it was enjoyable.i like to reread books i enjoy. What did you like best about this story? the incidents with "mommy dearest". she was so bold. Which scene was your favorite? no particular scene. i enjoyed the entire book Who was the most memorable character of Breaking the Ties That Bind and why? ginny. she was so bold. she added a little excitement to the story that kept the story churning. Any additional comments? i liked the way the realtionship between sam and kinda developed. it was not rused into. and it was very natural. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/No-Crystal-Stair-Audiobook/B002V5BMSQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The abridged version was choppy, particularly at the end when you realize that the daughter goes from elementary school to Stanford in 1 chapter.

Members Reviews: What a day! Would you consider the audio edition of All in a Day to be better than the print version? Yes. the narrations by all three readers were outstanding. What other book might you compare All in a Day to and why? Hitting the Right Note. Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes.In fact I started looking for audio books read by Karen Pittman. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The fact that family stick together with all the drama happening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Holy-Mayhem-Audiobook/B00BEYKGQY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Oh, how I didn't want it to end! The characters were full of life. Too Funny!!! Where does Holy Mayhem rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This was the funniest book I have ever listened to. Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character was Joy. Her personality was so believable. What about Lizan Mitchells performance did you like? Yes. If you could take any character from Holy Mayhem out to dinner, who would it be and why? I would take out Joy. i didnt really like it I couldn't finish it though there were some comic moments and the story line was ok I was board and had to stop listening several times till I just finally gave up but don't take my word for it cause it just may be a matter of taste but I just didn't like it sorry https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Anointed-Audiobook/B00A9XVGV0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Read This book is a great read from start to finish. There are some similarities between Dave, the main character in this book and king David in the Holy Bible. I am glad I decided to listen to this audio book. Sorry, but Just okay Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Not really, Typical story line- Spoiler Alert, Husband works too hard wife upset and lonely. Husband's assistant gets too close to him--yada yada... What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Noting interesting, typical storyline. heard it before. What do you think the narrator could have done better? No the narrator did a good job for the material Was Anointed worth the listening time? Unless the book is truly pathetic, i listen to it all the way since I paid for it. So the MONEY was worth the listening time. Any additional comments? Its not really boring, don't be afraid to buy it. just don't expect some new concept and story-line that you haven't read (heard) before. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-School-of-Dolls-Audiobook/B019OZT426 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The ending just cut off and it seems like there was more thet needed to be told before just ending right in the middle. But all in all it was ok. Monroe 3 stars, But Slow 2nd Book, 2 stars May Monroe is a great writer. Her book, which was told during the first half of "Borrow Trouble" was well written, and flowed with ease. The narrator was well spoken, kept the listener interested with her voice, and traveled between characters with ease. The second author did not present the material with ease. It was difficult to "get into the main character" named Baltimore, and the narrator (nor the author) was not able to flow easily between the characters. The second book moved much too slowly, was not as well written, worth only 2 stars, and soon I began to lose interest in the storyline, because it seemed to go nowhere fast. These books should not have been combined into one book. Ms. Monroe's book is highly recommended at 3-4 stars alone, and her part of this audible is one that listener's will not forget! Borrowed trouble The book was good but the second story never ended so I can't say how the whole book was. VERY GOOD READ It's been a while, but I do recall this book. It was a great listen. Worth the chip and recommended. I don't like to get into specifics for fear of being a spoiler so I won't say much except that I enjoyed the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Everything-Changes-Audiobook/B00KQRN3RY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It all comes down to this First let me say that the narrator's voice is sinful. Oh my! Great listen if for no other reason than that. The book is good too. The book takes you on a journey with Ms. Jimi thru her life and the Motown era. Scandal. Love. Sex.

Members Reviews: Constant Swallowing is gross and annoying If you could sum up Man Enough for Me in three words, what would they be? The performance ruins an other wise good book... For the price of this book it should have been a better production. If the reader could get her swallowing under control she would be pretty good. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Shari Peele? Bahni Turpin Very Good! Where does Man Enough for Me rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Its a pleasant change to my self-help books and had a good plot. Some parts were a little predictable but I especially enjoyed the main character and how they really put a highlight on her spiritual life. Excellent! What about Shari Peeles performance did you like? Shari was good to have played all of the parts...Once I got into it, it was like I could hear the character voices on my own. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It sure was! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Take-Your-Pleasure-Where-you-Find-It-Audiobook/B003BF1ME4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Just woke up from my nap because I fell asleep on this damn book and I definately was not impressed the whole story was just a little boring. The characters were well developed but I'm sorry Mr. Mason this is the second book I have purchased and this book is not what it is. The Narator did a good job but it could have been better. I don't like giving negative reviews but NO SIR I will not be purchasing any other books that you write. The main theme of the book is, who was the baby mama and not until the very end do the reader's find out by that time you just don't care no more. Only purchase this book if it's on sale for less than $5 trust me. Good Author. Horrible Narrater There were more awkward pauses at the wrong times in this book, than a kindergarden play. Repeated words and dropped consonants to boot. Its really sad that this book wont reach many because they cant get past the changes in context of the narrator. The narrator's pitch is fine but she is terribly unrehearsed, practiced or something. Ugh! NOT BAD!!! This was my first from this Author. Talk about the past coming back to haunt you... Not a bad read, it was worth it. Took me a while because the narrator was horrible, Other than the bad narrating, this is a really good book. You could really relate or almost all the characters and let me tell you the judge had me and my huddy rolling on the floor. Terrible Narration Would you try another book from J. D. Mason and/or Erica B. Peeples? I would read another book by J.D. Mason for sure. I thought the story was interesting at best. I didn't think the title fit the story but that is something I can deal with. The characters were well developed and I felt it flowed pretty well. I didn't enjoy the narration by Erica B. Peeples at all. She paused when there shouldn't have been a pause. She mispronounced several words in the words which caused confusion in what I was listening to. Her voice was ok but I feel that she needs more practice before making this a full time career. Her vocabulary seems limited. I haven't seen the book in print but every word she mispronounced I knew right away what she was supposed to say. I almost stopped listening to the book because she was just that terrible. What did you like best about this story? I liked the characters and I also liked the story line. What didnt you like about Erica B. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Cruisin-on-Desperation-Audiobook/B002V5BMTA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: .Real,Raw and Rawwr ;) Would you consider the audio edition of How We Start to be better than the print version? At this point both Aundrea Mitchell and Logan McAllister are Legendary to me . their enactment, tempo, and changing speech patterns for each individual is distinct and engaging. I do not believe the print version is any less compared to the audiobook but I will say they add a new dimension to the novel that cannot be appraised enough and would suggest to any reader to give the audio version a try. This book jumps a few years in to Teddy and Asher's future.I enjoyed it but it wasn't what I was expecting and it needed an extra kick to be honest but Our microphone maestros continue to do their thing and I grow more in awe of their talents as narrators with every passing word I hear from them. They on top form with this performance and I really get the impression that they has particularly enjoyed reading this series so far.I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.As always this is my honest opinion. RAW AND DESPERATE ACHE FOR THE UNATTAINABLE Any additional comments? I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. Very short inside scoop on the accepted and developing relationship between Asher and Teddy. It's years later and unfortunately I wasn't told much about those years. This book ignores the previous struggles, instead focusing on a new obsession, Teddy's apparent inability to have a child. The new subject matter is so left-field from the previous books that it should NOT have been told in under 2 hours. This subject has so many potential pitfalls, turns and twists that it deserves more. More depth, more consequences, more angst... more history... more. I'll give it One Thumb Held High, but I really need more. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this Friends that have sex is a series that chronicles how different couples and/or unlikely couples who go from [as in the title] friends who become more than that. This installment follows Teddy a woman who is ready to have a baby after defeating cancer. However, life is not that simple I feel any more details (added to the publisher summary) will spoil the story. This book did not catch me and drawn me in. I'm not sure why, as it is well written and well performed. I'm awarding it three strong and above average stars across the board. * I was given this book in exchange for my reviews.

What disappointed you about Secrets Never Die? I purchased this book because I saw alot of 4 star ratings without actually reading the reviews. The story to me was just a bunch of talking. I zoned out a couple of times. What could Eyone Williams have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? A better ending and more action. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of LaShone Garth? The narrator was actually the best part of the story. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No! Niya What did you love best about Secrets Never Die? I guess the best thing about this story was the story itself. The characters were a mix of street kids looking for a way out and their only options are stripping, drugs, or killing in the name of respect. The sad part is that there's a large segment of people who believe this to be true. With that said the story was written well but the ending was predictable and kind of fizzled out. What three words best describe LaShone Garths performance? Broken but bearable... As this story is being told LaShone's performance wasn't smooth, it didn't flow as well as other performers I've enjoyed. Okay read. Too much dialogue and very predictable. Narrator read a little too fast, like she was trying hurry up and finish the book, but overall reading was pretty good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/After-Audiobook/B002V1A2UO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Til Death I really enjoy Miasha's writing. I kind of got lost with which book to read next but now I'm on it. I enjoyed EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of this series. I'm now wondering how "The Return of Chatman" plays into the end of the saga. Start by reading Secret Society, Sista for Sale, Never Enough and then Til Death. LOVED IT!!!!! kinda, sorta, maybe What would have made Til Death better? staying in 1 maybe 2 locations, to much traveling, What do you think your next listen will be? not sure if it will be a Miasha book, least not to soon. How did the narrator detract from the book? very much so You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? none what so ever Any additional comments? to the author:U have writing skills, but this one was not quite right.Last year i listened to secret society and it was a pretty good audio which means to me you have what it takes please don't give up, i do believe u will make it. A COMPLETE RIPOFF THIS BOOK WAS HORRIBLE!!!! THE NARRATOR WAS BAD, IT SOUND LIKE SHE HAD DRY MOUTH. I WANTED THIS BOOK BECAUSE THE FIRST WAS WAS PRETTY GOOD AND I WANTED TO SEE WHAT SIENNA WAS GOING TO GET INTO. BUT I STOPPED LISTENING AFTER CHAPTER 5 AND DELETED IT FROM MY DROID. I AM WRITING IN CAPS SO THAT YOU WON'T BUY IT EITHER. BAD BAD BAD!!! DON'T DO IT! Great Storyline but Horrible Narrator Would you try another book from Miasha and/or Jessica Pimentel? Yes. Great Author. The plot was great but the narrator was horrible. What did you like best about this story? The storyline What didnt you like about Jessica Pimentels performance? Narrator was horrible, her tone was horrible Do you think Til Death needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Yes. Hated it I can't stand the voice on this one! I usually love her books and I can listen and it makes my days go by super fast at work but this narrator voice was the worst!!!!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/My-Grandmothers-Treasure-Audiobook/B002VA9ROC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Feels Like Home Great shortstories that left me in tears or lauging out loud! I just wish there had been more of them. Highly recommended! Love it One of the greatest of all storytellers, you will love this Truly a Treasure This book, beautifully read and with such heart, is a treasure in itself. With humor, real emotion, and experiences we can all relate to on a basic level, it demonstrates unforgettably the incredible value of remembering the lives of our parents, grandparents, and siblings. Without saying it straight out, it reminds us also that we are all, at our core, part of each other - good, bad, whether times are easy or tough. This is a truth both achingly simple and powerfully comforting. If you are a huge stickler for production quality, you may have a hard time getting used to the simplicity of this recording, but you'd be crazy not to let yourself get into it. It's absolutely wonderful. Enjoy! absolutely wonderful These are the kind of stories that my grandmother told and I really love and appreciate them now that I am 41. I wish that she would put out a lot of these audiobooks with her stories.

Members Reviews: BLAKE K. STRIKES AGAIN.....A 5+ STAR READ!!! Blake has done it again......another Banger! If allowed, I would have rated this book a perfect 10! "King", a Charlotte, NC native, is a kingpen turned businessman, with a string of barber shops, a supper club, and (music-loving) a music executive. He's loyal to his friends, family, and new woman & artist, Sloan Deveraux. The story has an original storyline-that is both refreshing and very entertaining. (SPOILER ALERT): There is DRAMA (who would have thought Carlton was sexing his daughter's best friend, Imani, "Officer" Deshawn, ex-boyfriend to Sloan has become her stalker-even though he's been married to Janet the last 5 years); VIOLENCE (Red picked the wrong crew to rob/murder & King shows him better than he can tell him, by retaliating Hard and making Red regret his choices, King shows no mercy when he or his love one is disrespected) and ROMANCE (Yogi, King's mother reminiscences @ her 1st love, Reggie-King's father, the obvious love & respect between King & Sloan). There are a few typos, but not enough mistakes to take away from the story-they are very minor. Overall, the book offers a perfect blend and balance (of the things mentioned previously), in this Urban tale of, "The King of the South". I cannot wait for the next installment because the ending was DEFINETLY a cliff hanger! This was an Excellent read, so 'Thank You'..................Mr. Blake Karrington!! I can't get past the book description, but I read the book. About the book. Fortunately, the book is a better read than the description. The plot is good.The situations are plausible and the characters could easily be real or a composite of real people. It leaves one hanging and I find myself wanting to read the next book, in what appears to be a sequel or series. I remember reading a review before downloading the book where the reviewer mentions something about Charlotte, NC being an unlikely place for this kind of action.The reviewer doesn't watch the news. Besides visiting Charlotte many times, I occasionally pick up on a segment, story, article or whatever about Charlotte and her problems. Like many cities her size, drugs and gangs are a part of her culture. With no luck,I've searched Amazon for the follow up to "The King of the South". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/More-Audiobook/B003HLM7K0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Besides an evil aunt forcing Nkechi to play as maid, this true account of a young woman's fight against the sinful distractions of the world quickly falls short of a fairy tale.

I understand the author is telling the story of a little girl that was forced to be grown before her time, but......SPOILER!!!! But there was never a reason why the mom acted the way she did. Most of the characters identities were never revealed so I could not get a real connection. I feel that the writer could have done a better job pulling the story line together to help the audience. Not sure I would recommend this book! Enjoyed I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes it made me angry on the things they did, but I really enjoyed it. It takes all kinds of people to make this world, and all kinds of mothers are included in that group. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Straight-Scandalous-Audiobook/B01M8G6BN8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narration to me was just ok. This book was a pretty good read for the most part.

( Booklist) Members Reviews: Great story and well told Cheating told from the perspective of two best friends. One is being cheated on and the other the cheater. I really enjoyed this story, my first from the author. Lang & Aminah have a unique friendship. Iâd have liked more backstory but otherwise it was great. VERY GOOD READ I enjoyed the Cheating Curve. It was a very interesting read and well written. However, it was sort of irriating the way the author had to name brand everything-even down to the water. That got on my nerves, but other than that, I have nothing negative to say about this book. I would highly recommend it. Say no more... Loved this book. Waiting on a sequel or maybe a movie. Know the author, she is fantastic at what she does. great book. once i started reading it, it kept my interest and was finished with it within a few days! great book! hmmmmm what to say I luved this book it was wonderful read. The characters had me going. With Ameniah I don't think I could have done what she did. I like knowing I'm the only one, that gives me security. Once she took a stance for herself I was very proud for her. It shows that she cared enough for herself to do something to stop the train wreck she was on. Now about Langston, that one really had her priorities in the wrong place. Dante came off as a demanding nodody that thought that by playing as if he were this thuggish man who could get whoever, it would make him more appealing. I just thought he should've been upfront with her and see where it got him, but thats what men do. They feed their own ego. Sean was every woman's dream. He was attentive, passionate, sensual and luving. Langston took that for granted and never thought that if she would only tell him her needs he would have given it to her. When u luv someone the way he luved her u do things u wouldn't normally do. Now that could work for the good of things or the bad of things. Its like Al Green said "something that'll make u do wrong make u do right". In the end I guess everyone did what they felt was best. I personally would have like to Sean and Ameniah get together cuz I think they would've luved and appreciated each other the way ur supposed to, but it was a great read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Soul-City-Audiobook/B002V8KVN0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: My Soul Looks Back in Wonder.. The first few pages of Toure's masterful new novel took me back to the first time I saw a Spike Lee movie (School Daze, 1988). It was a well-crafted, perfectly-told inside joke and I was on the inside. Like Spike Lee, Toure's world-view is not only unquestionably Black but based in the time before Blackness was so often equated with nihilistic despair. Soul City snatched me out of my own hectic life which involves too many frequent-flyer miles and too few homemade biscuits and plopped me down in Toure's utopian vision. Interestingly, once I arrived, I had the feeling of returning to a place I had once loved but had not visited in a long time. The best literature forces you to reexamine your life. Soul City makes me want to turn my car into a RobertaFlackmobile, crank up the volume and dance on the hood with a well-shaped Black woman until a 350-year-old grandmother tells us to " Git the ---- down from there." Toure celebrates Black culture the way I wish more of us did and arms me with renewed strength to withstand the onslaught of the diamond-studded minstrels who are turning our people into a cartoon. I bought Soul City and Jill Scott's new CD at the same time and finished Soul City before I even removed the plastic from the CD. From me, there can be no higher praise. Buy two copies of this book. The first is to read and reread until it is a worn as my first copy of the Portable Promised Land. Wrap the second copy in cellophane to keep as a family heirloom which your great-grandchildren can discover someday and learn why despite the drama and the hardships, African-Americans live with such joy. Five Stars Wonderful novel beautifully written Insanely creative! When inquiring as to how he came up with the impossibly creative narrative, the author told me that he was under the influence of-- Well... You know. Favorite. Book. Ever. Review by Ruth Williams... Rate = 3.5 Soul City by Toure is an undercover social critique, which cleverly uses the technique of magical surrealism. At first glance, it may seem like a story for children but it is quickly established that one can better appreciate and enjoy Toure's style by not only having insight but also having knowledge of greater works of literature. Much of Toure's inspirations can be traced back to "great books", such as Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison or Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Wish-You-Were-Mine-Audiobook/B01LG27YQS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Each book in the Finding Home series serves an invitation to visit and stay awhile." (USAToday.com) Members Reviews: There is No Place Like Home Fans of Regina Hart return to Trinity Falls in the fourth installment of the Finding Home Series. Mystic Park finds the residence of Trinity Falls preparing for the wedding of its newly elected mayor, Doreen, to Sheriff Alonzo Lopez and the staged production of Trinity Falls College Music Professorâs, Vaughn Brooks, play entitled after the novel. Yet, everyone is on edge. Alonzo is keeping a secret from Doreen and Vaughnâs long-time girlfriend, Benita, is plotting to convenience him to move away from Trinity Falls. The lesson that they learn is that love wins all the time. Hart has crafted another home town story that makes readers laugh, cry and cheer out loud. As with all of her novels in this series, there is always more than one lesson that her characters struggle with but they all come to that âAh Haâ at the same time. Hart has definitely won over the hearts of many readers, particularly this reviewer, with this series. Another Great Finding Home Novel I truly enjoyed reading Mystic Park, it was like going home after being away for awhile and reconnecting with friends and family. There's just enough conflict to keep you interested in the outcome. From life long romance to wanting to branch out beyond small town America you're drawn into the lives of the people of Trinity Falls. If you haven't read the series I recommend it for your reading pleasure. Four Stars This story was a nice addition to the Finding Home series. Finding home again Mystic Park continues the wonderful series created by Regina Hart. From Benita's stubbornness to Vaughn steadfast conviction, you will love their relationship. Add to this the wonderful supporting cast of family and friends. You'll have an excellent read. Like the inclusion of the other characters and what challenges ... Like the inclusion of the other characters and what challenges they were having - not just the main characters - we have a continuation of other characters from the other books in the series. WE see a continuation of their lives.

The characters just had absolutely no chemistry to me, and you would think with so many sex scenes the book would be really spicy, but all the sex scenes were really flat to me. This definitely had the potential to be a good read, by the author took a wrong turn somewhere. Definitely wouldn't recommend this one. Holiday Romance I simply loved Christmas Diamonds and the characters of the book Paula Devine and Chase McCord. The story was full of passion,very compassionate and down right fantastic. Even though it had a Christmas setting, I think it will be enjoyable anytime of the year. Thank you Devon for such a wonderful book! Good Christmas Story This book was great Christmas Love Story. Enjoyed the book and would recommend it to another reader. Condition of the book was excellent. Great read Loved Loved Loved this book. Just the right amount of drama and love to give this book a little kick. A must read you will finish this book in one day. passiononthepages.blogspot I am sorry I did not like this book. There was no buildup to me. I mean they went from the initial meeting to her working for him and then having sex. What the heck? The author could have spent a little more time building up the story and a little chase as well. Some conflict and a little more drama. I know this is a romance novel but can we make it a little more believable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-New-Kind-of-Bliss-Audiobook/B002UZI3JI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Good listen: Narrater annoying This was a good read but i am reminded why I prefer male narrators. Shari has a veri artificial annoying shaky voice that i had to press my way beyond. Her voice rises and falls at the wrong times...the worst trait for a narrator in my oppinion. Search for narration by Patricia Floyd or Susian Spain for an excellent delivery by a female. Kept Me Guessing Would you listen to A New Kind of Bliss again? Why? No. I don't backtrack. What did you like best about this story? I went back and forth wondering which man Emily would choose. Which scene was your favorite? I enjoyed the scenes where Emily was confronted by the mother-in-law. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Members Reviews: Shook my head from start to finish. Good. I tell you I love the wisdom of seasoned godly woman and the advice they can give. I tell you. I was into the stories of each woman. I felt sorry for the main character, she was totally disillusioned eve to the end she could not see herself. Sad. As for the rest of the ladies, I could relate. Once you get your heart broken a few times, you do give up. Secondly, being a christian woman you must stand firm in His word but, not create your own word by setting you desire higher than God's desire. I give this book four stars because of the language. I believe the story could have been just as good if not better without the cursing. You Remind me of a Girl That I Once Knew "When Emotions Lies" takes you on a ride through an emotional city! There were times I laughed when the passage wasn't funny because it reminded me of someone that I knew. That's what I liked about the novel; I felt honesty in her fictional characters that made them relatable, although they were slightly exaggerated for entertainments sake I'm certain. The story centered on Alicia and her husband, but I also appreciated the look inside the lives of her friends Myra and Cassie. This book takes them on a journey where they each are forced to look into the mirror called "truth" which has a domino type effect in their lives. I took pleasure in reading this book and valued the message behind it calling for honesty and self-reflection in relationships. An Awesome Read I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Deondriea a few months ago in Memphis & she's a great person with an even greater spirit. I must say this was an awesome read, a real eye opener for all us "strong, independent" women. Emotions Lie has a very positive meaning behind it. As women we do make decisions without thinking everything through, and rely on our emotions to think for us. We also go to our friends, who also giving their advice on their emotions, not on what the truth should be. I'm blessed to say I have friends that will put me in place like Ms. Shirley does. Loved it!!!!!! I really enjoyed how each character's struggle was illustrated. Most importantly how Biblical teachings are incorporated into daily life issues. Job well done. The important of having a good proof reader The storyline for the book was good, but very hard to follow due to the grammatical errors, typos, and sentence structure. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Forbidden-Lover-BWWM-Audiobook/B017AHC6WK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: o.k bwwm short"hook" up story. Good try! Bwwm audible stories are few and far between. This is a short " hook up" story. Not a falling in love situation. The voice actor is mono tone and choppie. The words.. a bit crude BUT some people like that type of story. The best multi racial stories are the ones that "mention" the racial differences as a matter of fact and just to describe the characters. Constantly mentioning the characters race is... Uncomfortable and seemed forces\d. Mentioning the shading differences is a much nicer way. but, I appreciate the effort. Worth the small asking price??? Maybe.. Keep going Ariana Young.. But perhaps try another narrator. Poor narrator Story is great but don't you ever let this person narrate a book for you. He was the absolute worst I have ever heard. He sounded like a robot! !!! I thought the narrator did great! This was a very hot and steamy book. Probably one of my top 10 favorite erotica's I have ever listened to, and I have listen to a lot. Not worth it...sorry Narrative is the worst I've ever heard. The storyline wasn't that interesting but the narrator just reading the book without any voice inflection or life made it horribly long. Robots as Narrators?? This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? The story was fine but the narration was horrific. Would you ever listen to anything by Ariana Young again? As long as there is a different narrator Would you be willing to try another one of Trevor Clingers performances? Heck no. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment...only because of the narration. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Good-Girl-Torn-1-Audiobook/B01168HF4S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She makes the story sound like corny white voices trying to be black. Can't even listen to it. Shabazz should have interviewed this Person. What could Jameel Shabazz have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Get a more ethnic voice to deliver the story Would you be willing to try another one of Gayle S Bergs performances? NEVER!!!! What character would you cut from Good Girl Torn 1? The narrator DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR CREDIT What would have made Good Girl Torn 1 better? THE STORY? WAS DRY , THE CHARACTERS WERE STUPID, THE VOICE OVER ... WAS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST. I AM NOT BEING FUNNY NOR AM I TRYING TO BE. I LOVE AUDIBLE BUT THIS IS NOT WORTH IT What was most disappointing about Jameel Shabazzs story? EVERYTHING Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Gayle S Berg? SHARI PEELE MAYBE BUT THE BOOK IS TERRIBLE SO IT WOULDN'T MATTER You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? YES Any additional comments? NOPE Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn! I enjoyed this story written by Jameel Shabazz. I have. ever heard of this author before but I'll be looking forward to listening to the second story of it will be available on Audible. I do think the author should've made the story more realistic. I get falling in love but not after one day. I look forward to the next story though a d see if the author takes a different approach, different than this one. Gayle S. Berg did a good job with telling this story. The narrator had no problems keeping me glued to this story from start to finish. I look forward to listening to other stories Gayle has done.

The plot was undeveloped and after 7 hours nothing was resolved. The characters were weak and undeveloped as well. The names, the dispositions all WEAK!. This is the worse book ever. We deserve more in this genre.I feel as if the author does not care about the readers and has just put this book out to make money. HORRIBLE!! Just ok This was an ok audio. I didn't really see the need for all the different narrators. Buyer beware Patricia " lip smacking, annoying spit sounds" Floyd is one of the narrators. Once I heard her I really didnt get into the book as I had anticipated. The ending seemed a bit abrupt. I wanted to see more development between Asha and Sherikas husband. Not So Great I was bored and waiting for something interesting to happen when half way through I gave up. It was quite shallow. I Can't Relate What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Not having so many women that sounded terrible. Would you ever listen to anything by Anita Diggs again? I'll certainly try not to. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Denzel's Lips? The entire book needs to be cut. Any additional comments? Don't listen to any of it. Crazy Story! This was one crazy story (esp the chick in love with Denzel, lol) but it kept me listening, which makes a great read. If you're looking for something that you can't put down, this is the one to listen to...although I didn't particularly like the ending...needs a sequel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Satin-Nights-Audiobook/B002V8H9HQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Unabridged shouldn't be an excuse for needless details. And what's up with most of the characters' history with drugs? Is that what the author means about "keeping it real?" And if I EVER hear the phrases "get the f*ck outta here" or "sucking her teeth" again, it will be too soon for me! It was hard to care about what happened to any of the characters. In summary, heavy on drama, light on substance. Another complete story Karen delivers a complete store for her readers! As much as I hate to admit it, people who use drugs and curse like sailors are the majority. Karen gave me a peak into their minds..real people with jacked up lives. I would have liked to know more about why "Pudding" is the way she is. Unlike "Using What You Got" by Karen, this one has nice and steamy love scenes although few in number. WARNING: No virgin ears should hear this book. Very ripe. It is ok This is an ok story, but on some of the characters you would have liked to no more about them. Regina is the main character, but she leaves something to be desired. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Bound-to-Passion-Audiobook/B01LW1RC0K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If the book had some periods here and there. It was like she never took a breath. The story was all over the place. What do you think your next listen will be? ?? How could the performance have been better? If she would have read the book with some emotion and at least gave some notice that the chapter had changed or the conversations had moved on. I got so lost. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? I was disappointed Whirlwind of Activity Would you listen to Exclusive: A Tisha Ariel Nikkole Novel, Book 1 again? Why? I might listen to it again to refresh my memory before listening to the second book. What other book might you compare Exclusive: A Tisha Ariel Nikkole Novel, Book 1 to and why? This book was pretty unique with the rappers so I don't know who I would compare it to. Have you listened to any of Yasmin Shirazs other performances before? How does this one compare? No, this was the first time listening to her. Kudos to the author for not only writing the book but also narrating the book. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I listened to it all in one day just so I knew how it ended. Any additional comments? Thank you for allowing me to review your audiobook. TERRIBLE Not worth it. Dry. Worst book on Audible .

After reading the first of Ms. Bishop's books, I could not wait for the release of South Beach. I wanted to know what would become of Malcolm and La La during her trip to Florida. I must say the book was well worth the wait!!! Ms. Bishop has done it again! Ms. Bishop has created a whole new writing genre that takes the romance novel, infuses adventure and raw sexuality, then combines it with a writing style that is real, fresh and imaginative. It's kind of like a Advemance (if La La could name it!). The depth that Ms. Bishop gave to her characters, her attention to detail and her way to paiting an image in the mind of the reader makes reading the book like sitting at the table of a 5 star restaurant and savoring each and every bite of a sumptuous meal. I loved the additonal characters and the character development Ms. Bishop gave each. I loved the premise and plot. I loved how Ms. Bishop kept you on the edge of your seat wondering whether there would be a reconciliation in all the romances. Ms. Bishop is an amazingly talented writer and storyteller. Once I started reading, I could not put the book down. She has a real winner with the Sheridan series and has hit another home run with her second installment!!! Nice touch weaving in the oldest and best fratenity into the story. I also really apprecaited how socially conscious Ms. Bishop is in the way she brought light to another serious human issue in this second installment. Ms. Bishop never ceases to amaze me!!! After reading the first installment I was hooked and now I am ABSOLUTELY hooked. As one who does not like or read romance novels or any books similar to it, that says a whole lot! Ms. Bishop has sold me on her new genre of Advemance Novels! Can't wait for Installment 3!!! Lailas Story Is Worth the Wait - A Must Read for Sheridan fans I really enjoyed SOUTH BEACH. I've been waiting for Laila's story since I finished NORTH STAR and I'm so glad it's finally here. The love struggle between Laila and Malcolm reminded me of how women can get caught up in the drama surrounding their choice to rejuvenate a past love relationship. It was nice to see the depths of Laila's character as she tried not to let past influence her time with her best friends, Sofia and Marina. I loved the subplots between the girlfriends and enjoyed it when Laila found ways to make the women party on her terms. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Good-Peoples-Audiobook/B003S7Z67Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I am not sure, the story was just Blah What do you think your next listen will be? I am listening to Keshia and Clyde by Treasure Blue What character would you cut from Drama 99 FM? I dont really understand where the character came from in the last scene, and none of the characters were all that developed Any additional comments? Just really not a good story at all Full of Drama The underlying content of this book took me by surprise. As I was "rooting for" a love match for Madison and Politic and Serita and Corey, I was taken back by the "true content" of this story. Drama 99FM was drama packed and very interesting. My only regret is not finding out happened with Michael and Renna? I mean they just disappeared...Hmmmmmmm... Didn't want it to end! Would you consider the audio edition of Drama 99 FM to be better than the print version? Yes What was one of the most memorable moments of Drama 99 FM? The ending was great! Which character as performed by Shari Peele was your favorite? Shareeta's character Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? To be honest, listening to this book was much much better than reading it. Getting past chapters 1-8 was okay, but chapters 9 + was where all the real drama came. Any additional comments? I would like for Janine to get past the Good book, constant swallowing It is actually an OK listen but, at times very annoying because of the readers constant swallowing. If this production had been properly edited it would have been 5 stars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/This-Just-In-Audiobook/B0046HG930 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Yolanda Joe is one of the premier African American novel writers. Her books are full of universal truths, and unique AA experiences. She's a gem! QuandaRobinson I Didn't think I would enjoy it but it was great.My only problem was that it was too short. I read the entire book in one day(my day off). It was great entering into the world of broadcasting.Ms.Joe keep up the great work.looking forward to the next book. A Good Read 'This Just In' is a thoroughly satisfying read. Yolanda Joe aptly describes her characters and the world of broadcast journalism. Before reading this novel, I knew nothing about the field. I now feel like I know the inner workings and the cut-throat enviornment of broadcast journalism. The characters were shown in realistic settings, with real life experiences. Their methods of problem solving were interesting. I like this novel because I could relate to the characters and I could feel what they were feeling and for the same reasons. This Just in is cetainly worth the money that I spent on it. Stand up, Applaud, and Scream AMEN! As a young african american producer at in a large news market... I want to say that this book is as real as it gets. Many people may not understand the "news" jargon that Ms. Joe expertly sprinkles within the novel, but she breaks it down so that most anyone can understand it! Racism is a very real part of the newsroom scene, whether people want to believe it or not. As I struggle to make my on air debut, I felt that I could relate to every single person in that book. I was the writer, now the producer, soon to be reporter/anchor. I have a renewed respect for my photographers, news directors, and general managers, as well as all african american's struggling to make it in the cutthroat world of news. The book is fantastic.... real language, developed characters, real situations, and not always happy endings. If you want to know what it's like to try and find your niche in the world of news... then this is your book. I couldn't put it down... I read the entire thing in less than 4 hours!! Buy it TODAY! This Just In ï¿ This is a GREAT Book! Yolanda Joe has done it again! This is a great book. Although I have no interest or previous knowledge whatsoever in broadcast journalism or broadcast news, I was able to follow this book without problem. I am a great fan of Joe's style of writing since "He Say, She Say" and was not disappointed by "This Just In." I loved the storyline between the five women! More specifically, I liked the interaction between the four African-American women and the one lone Caucasian woman. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/BWWM-Lorde-and-Master-Series-Shy-Girl-Confident-Man-Audiobook/B01AIJ6Q96 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If left unchecked, she may discover she isn't that different from her adversary. The Archangel Michael has long sought God's permission to rescue his missing brothers from the Fallen's domain.

Members Reviews: Unique Characters, Gripping Story, Excellent A* If you could sum up Sin of Wrath in three words, what would they be? Unique, Creative, Entertaining What did you like best about this story? The overall series isn't something I've encountered before which I really enjoy! There is so much of the same out there it's nice to come across something totally new, to me at least. While this is just the second instalment of an overall story I am hooked and will be eagerly be waiting for further additions. I loved how each character has their own story and they're all a part of a large goal which they all fight for, even though they all come from different walks of life. Adalia is just excellent, theres no two ways about it, shes fierce, totally kick ass. Her character development just makes me more interesting. I look forward to seeing how she progresses. Any additional comments? I like how the author has taken her faith and brought it into the 21st Century. The whole idea is creative, and is sure to appeal to a wide audience. Even better than the first book! Would you consider the audio edition of Sin of Wrath to be better than the print version? I read this book shortly after reading the first book in the series Order of Saint Michael which was also very good. I was very engaged in the story and found myself attached to the characters. Who was your favorite character and why? Adalia Moore, I was very attached to her. I loved her strength, and enjoyed watching her character change throughout the story. Another great Audiobook by Kobie J. Newton Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Sin of Wrath is the sequel to Order of Saint Michael in the God's Army series. One of the most original and intriguing stories out there from the mind of a genius. The story with engulf your imagination and its perfect for Teens and adults alike.

This book has some adventure, humor, mystery, action, and love along with a good bit of butchering. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Young-and-the-Ruthless-Audiobook/B00ECZUCVG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent book about the soap workd I read the first installment some time ago and looked forward to reading this. I could recognize a few of the fictional characters as real live actors or staff of previous soaps. Hope the next installment is just as roof Waiting for next installment This book reads like a soap opera. It's really fast paced and exciting. I'm not crazy about the soap opera dialogue parts, but I understand why they're needed especially because of the way the book ended. Overall a very good read for light hearted fun. Five Stars great What the heck is this? I didn't even make it to the third chapter. None of this book made any sense to me. I had no idea who any of the characters were or what nonsense they were saying. What a mess. looking forward to a great read I enjoyed reading Victoria Rowell's first novel and I thought it was a riotous escape. Having met her in person a few years, her sense of humor rings true!

The poems were well written but there may have been better flow between then if they were in a slightly different order. They were intriguing and held my interest. They were very adult though and I would only recommend this for adults. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ceremonies-in-Dark-Old-Men-Audiobook/B003NGVNKO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Ceremonies in Dark Old Men Author: Lonne Elder III Narrator: Rocky Carroll, Brandon Dirden, Jason Dirden, Julia Pace Mitchell, Charlie Robinson, Glynn Turman, Michole Briana White Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs Language: English Release date: 05-24-10 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: First produced by the Negro Ensemble Company in 1969, this classic masterpiece by Academy Award nominee Lonne Elder III gives us the portrait of a Harlem family that dreams of a better life, but pursues it in tragic ways. Ceremonies opened the door for new generation of African American playwrights, August Wilson among them. NBC-TV called Elders dramatization of rituals "exciting drama, filled with meaningful insight and original comedy." Editorial Reviews: In this landmark tragedy of 1969, a struggling black family in Harlem is rudely awakened to the cost of their materialistic aspirations and value system. Fed up with laboring to support her father and two grown brothers, Adele shames them into action - stealing from neighborhood shops and bootlegging homemade hooch out of the father's barbershop. L.A. Theatre Works' audio production is not altogether successful. The stage business is gracelessly translated to sound, at times the cast plays too broadly for the intimacy of audio drama, and the script itself creaks now and then with conceits that the African-American theater has since outgrown. Even so, the cast's commitment and fervor seduce the listener and shrink the faults to flyspecks. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Lonne Elder III) Mon, 24 May 2010 06:21:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Ceremonies-in-Dark-Old-Men-Audiobook/B003NGVNKO thebookvoice.com 00:02:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I found this on Audible for free in honor of Black History Month. It was a touching family drama and I enjoyed listening to it. It's odd for me to hear a play and not see it, but the effect was amazing. It really felt like I was sitting in the theater watching the show! The actors were so good. They really made the words come to life, even though I couldn't see them.

What did you love best about A Family Sin? It reminding of a lot of families that may be self destructing themselves from the past. The past was destroying his (Kareem) life. So glad he had a strong family support in his corner to remain him of the meaning of letting go and grasp the future. Don't sleep on Travis Hunter all his books are good, I've have read majority of them and my next 2 books will be Momma's a Virgin and Something to die for, those are the only reads I have not read. Great author What did you like best about this story? His honesty and faithfulness to his family Did the narration match the pace of the story? Somewhat, It would have been better (to me) if certain characters could play it out, and what I mean by that is; it's funny to hear a man trying to talk like a lady and a child, would have been better to have them in character. I understand that cost money, but it would have been cool. Who was the most memorable character of A Family Sin and why? Momma Mae, the wisdom that came from her (his) mouth reminded me of the big mommas some of these children will probably never have the privileged of knowing. Any additional comments? The ending was cool, but whatever happen to Senior? Did he get help or did they leave him on the back porch in his tighties whities? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Efosa-Audiobook/B06Y2J8HVJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Linda St. John has crafted a delightful and moving book. The characters of Efosa are easy to relate to and empathize with. The story pulled out emotions; I laughed, got mad, and almost cried. The plot is well crafted and easy to follow. I look forward to reading more of Linda St. John's works. EFOSA WAS AMAZING!!! This book was hands down a page turner and an easy read. I love the fact that the characters and their experiences were definitely relatable. The different twists and turns of the plot kept you in suspense. By the end of the book, you fall in love with all the characters and expect a Happy Ever After, until the author interjects with a hair raising end.

Members Reviews: The Bargain Part 3 The Bargain Episode Part 3 Episode 3 explains why the Xhosa brutally attacked Lord Wellingâs ship when they docked in Port Elizabeth. Mr. Narvel, the man left in charge when Lord Welling left Port Elizabeth allowed a heinous act by his men to go unpunished. An interesting new character is introduced in this episode---Mzwamadoda. Mzwamadoda is tall, talks and laughs loudly and is the typical charming âbad boyâ character. He also desires Precious. Precious now has two men competing for her. Who will she choose? I look forward to Episode 4. I also want to know if Lord Welling will be able to prevent a second massacre and bring peace to Port Elizabeth. Keeps getting better! I'm hooked. I'm addicted. This author makes me lose myself into Precious and Gaereth's world!! The writing is descriptive, captivating and moving and I feel like I'm right there in this story. I cannot wait for the conclusion. I love that sex was not rushed between them but instead a slow burn has turned to a low boil. That is so sexy to me!!!! Keep up the good work Vanessa Riley!!!!! I wish I could give one million stars!! Hooked on this Series I wouldn't mind a book on the men they call Xhosa men... Lol This was another great read. Fitting that the author has split the books into "episodes" because that truly how it reads. Episode III answers a lot of questions I had from episode II, thank goodness but their are still unsolved questions that need to be answered and of course the biggest one would be the outcome of Jonas, Precious, and Gareth. Start with Episode I you will not regret it .... Enjoy! Five Stars Loved it...Five stars Good book Good storyline. I had to force myself to put it down. I kept want to find out more. The only criticism I have for this book is there are a good number of typos. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Prettyboy-Thugs-Audiobook/B017TG1D5S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After serving time for a crime he did not commit, Don Juan Jackson is finally a free man. He wants to become a real father to his daughter Trinity but he needs to make some real money first. Don plans to return to the drug game until his friend Lex turns him on something less dangerous and more lucrative. Don and Lex soon make plenty of money in the world of white collar crime. But there is someone that's standing on the sidelines that's trying to take them out. Will Don and Lex be able to continue their criminal enterprise unscathed or will it all blow up in their faces? White collar crime, murder, and dishonor is what you'll find in Pretty Boy Thugs by Rahiem Brooks. When you first start reading this book, you think that this will be another street thug getting out of prison to reclaim the streets type of story. But when you continue to read, you'll find out that this is not the case. Brooks does an excellent job of bringing us a crime thriller with a dash of street drama thrown in. The character development of Lex and Don makes readers want to almost root for them. There are a few minor editing issues but none that takes away from the story itself. This story runs at a pace so fast that you need to pay attention to who's doing what. There is a cliffhanger ending that just stops the story too abruptly. But the ending does create anticipation for what's next for Don and Lex. It makes you wonder if there is a sequel in the works. Pretty Boy Thugs is an entertaining, fast-paced read by Rahiem Brooks. Reviewed by Radiah Prettyboy Thugs by Rahiem Brooks Don Juan is finally free from spending another night in a correctional facility after spending six long years because of a woman named Sherry who happens to be his daughter Trinityâs mother. Sherryâs reasoning for this vengeful deed is Don Juanâs unfaithfulness with another woman while supposedly in a committed relationship with her. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Gospel-According-to-Cane-Audiobook/B00DQRBO8G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Beverley's marriage soon dissolves and her husband immigrates from England to the U.S. with a new wife. Beverley gives up her job,, sells the house, and moves from the leafy suburbs to the inner city to reside in a west London housing project.

I would recommend this book to anyone over the age age of 20. Also, being from New York and of many different descents and understanding that the world taste good in chocolate and vanilla. Whatever flavor is your favorite, the world we live in should be able to accept it no matter what the past dictated. Not your typical love story............... But exiting every step of the way....Gritty ,Real,a Sistah Souljah kinda thing . I read it in one sitting !! L Evans I loved all these items!!!I would recommend these to all my family and friends THANKS Amazon for making shopping easy "A So-So Novel" This novel left me disappointed. Ms. Price-Thompson is an excellent storyteller, but I didn't like the dialect of "Aunt Hattie". Not all black people talk like that. "Juanita" and all the other characters were just plain boring. Suspenseful and Unpredictable Juanita Lucas is a young woman living in a housing project in Brooklyn. Although she has a very light complexion, she is proud of her blackness, even as she takes a beating from the very sistahs she tries so hard to emulate. Her only friend, Scooter Morrison, is an upwardly mobile brother who also happens to be young, gifted, and . . . gay. While Juanita spends her time finding ways to fit in with the girls in the 'hood, Scooter's frustration over his sexuality makes him an easy target, and in his tough inner-city neighborhood he finds himself catching hell coming and going. A chance encounter with two fine Puerto Rican men changes Juanita's and Scooter's lives in ways they could never have imagined. There is Conan, a hard-working man who wrestles with both his love for Juanita and his guilt over his brother's death, and Jorge, an unscrupulous bad-boy thug who has no problem using what he's got to get what he wants, until he comes dangerously close to getting scorched by his own flames. Chocolate Sangria was a fast-paced novel. It was a real page turner. I found myself reading this book rather quickly because I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Admittedly, the explicit sexual content was a bit much. It was more of a hinderance to the storyline. Had I not committed to reading the book as part of a book club selection, the graphic scenes would've been enough to stop me from reading any further. Some of the things Scooter did were degrading for both black men and homosexuals. At times it made me angry. However, the story itself was good, and overall it was an enjoyable read. I wasn't crazy about the ending because it didn't give me a real sense of closure or "happily ever after." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dead-Above-Ground-Audiobook/B002V1BNU2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The Philadelphia Inquirer) Members Reviews: Interesting story with unforgettable characters This book grabbed my attention from the first few minutes of listening. I was hooked and enjoyed hearing the story unfold. The characters were strongly written and I was interested in their inter-relationships and back-stories. The author skillfully wove all of this information about the characters in without affecting the pacing of the plot in a negative away.There were many suspenseful moments throughout the book that kept me guessing. The end was satisfying and made me want to read the sequel without making me feel cheated by a cliff-hanger. Very well done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/He-Made-My-Mama-Laugh-Audiobook/B01LX77LRY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She was the type of spouse who would put up with most anything to keep her marriage together. During her 16-year marriage, Tanya often turned a blind eye to her husband's drunkenness and infidelities. Tanya was most happy being a housewife and a mother to her three children. The only thing that Tanya felt would make her life complete was another child, maybe a baby boy. The problem was that her husband didn't want another child. He would brush the idea away. When Tanya would ask her husband for another child, his usual response was "now is not a good time or honey, we can't afford the three we have". Tanya later found out the true reason her husband didn't want another child. He already had two children with another woman across town. Their ages were seven and nine, two years younger than their youngest daughter. Her husband was living a double life. Her husband had a dual-personality. Tanya was devastated and felt like such a fool. How could he have another family across town and she not know? She soon divorced her husband. Nicola Kim Norwell is Tanya's outspoken and overprotective middle child. Kim as she likes to be called is never one to pull punches or hold her tongue. It broke Kim's heart to see her mother sad and crying. Kim let it be known that she hated her father and she swore that she would never speak to him again. She often told people that her father was dead. During the five years following the divorce, Tanya was often sad and unhappy. Kim and her best friend Rodney Price decided it was time they found someone who would love her mother, treat her right and make her smile again. They took it as their personal responsibility to find such a man for mom. They were on a mission to find someone who could make her mama laugh. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Lawrence Stripling) Mon, 19 Sep 2016 05:01:43 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/He-Made-My-Mama-Laugh-Audiobook/B01LX77LRY thebookvoice.com 05:06:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I Really Disliked the Main Character Would you try another book from Peaches The Writer and/or Matilda Greenwood? No. I found the style of writing crude and disliked the constant use of profanity and ethnic slurs. Would you ever listen to anything by Peaches The Writer again? It is Unlikely What does Matilda Greenwood bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The voices were pleasant to listen to. However this did not save the story. Do you think Layover needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Absolutely not. Any additional comments? This is clearly directed at female readers/listeners. I can't imagine any male being interested. The main character flip flopped in her opinion and attitudes so often that I came to dislike her. I did not realize when I selected it that it was focused on African American characters using profanity, slang and the "N" word throughout. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Chance-She-Took-Audiobook/B00CMRHV3I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Story Line Horrible Performance and Audio Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The book had a good storyline however the performance was not very good and the audio accoustics at times was horrible. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I probably would have selected a performer without the southern twang for a girl from Chicago. How could the performance have been better? Multiple performers would have been better. What would have made this romance irresistible? Nothing really The story is GREAT. Need to work on narration Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Because I read the Chance Series, I could not wait to hear the book being read. I was disappointed in the narration of this book. However, the storyline is worth listening. I believe this is his first audiobook, so I know it can only get better. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Chance She Took? The GIFT that Rayquelle gave Chance. What didnt you like about Maria Daviess performance? I am not sure if it was actually the reader, or the acoustics. Could you see The Chance She Took being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? I would love to see this as a movie. Chance=Lamman Rucker Any additional comments? I enjoyed reading the Chance Series. It is an excellent storyline. I look forward to the next audiobook in the series.

The author kept me wanting to see what was going to happen next. I am so very disappointed I waited all month to get my new credits in order to get this book. It was so boring I cried twice, because I wasted a valuable credit. I am so very disappointed, because I also read another book by the same author, so I thought this book might be just as good but it was not. I wish I could get my credit back. In one word this book was very BORING! Must read Well written, vivid characters, great content that is meaningful. Recommended read. Narration sucked. It was so hard to listen to this book. Ms. Peele sounded like she swallowing and moistening her lips at the end of each sentence. It was so aggravating that after an hour I couldn't stand it anymore and just erased it. I will never buy another audiobook that she narrates.

And I just couldn't care less about boxing, so I only listened to a part of that story; it bored me to tears. The third one wasn't much more engaging, and I gave up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/7-Days-Seven-Nights-Audiobook/B01LWS3WZQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good, but contains some negative Christian stereotypes. Over all the story is well-written and has plenty of realistic tension to keep the reader turning pages. It doesn't shy away from controversial subjects like race, religion, and sexual sin. I wish I could give it 5 stars, since I do believe the author is a 5-star writer. The reason I can't is because this book seems to portray people like me (Bible-believing Christians) as violent and bigoted, or ignorant at best, just because we acknowledge that some behavior choices are wrong. I disagree with the message that we should be happy with sin as long as others are happy with it. No one who loves God with all their heart can ever do that. I feel like the author was probably trying to be fair to all sides of every issue presented in this story, but just missed the mark a little when it came to my faith. I still give 4 stars because the writing is good and the author clearly knows how to tell an engaging story. I just wish I had known about the agenda before I picked up this book. we must face these issues and decide how best to represent the love of Christ when faced with ... This book is well-written as far as keeping the tension going and dealing with more than one moral issue. It isn't preachy but does give the impression that if we go to church we are okay with God. It brings out some issues that can be difficult for born-again Christians to deal with, yet in our modern society, we must face these issues and decide how best to represent the love of Christ when faced with them. My only criticism that is that Mr. Sullivan needs a good beta reader or proof-reader. A great Family story... I really enjoyed reading this book. As it is a well interpretation of a novel about family.This book is a work of friction .The story was all about Bell family that had been through a lot . We can find many interesting characters in this story . Crystal ,Jazelle , Jaycee, Rayford, Uncle Sammy are few of them .It mirrors about certain issue and things that families' been faced. Well, all I can say is wow. The story is quite enjoyable . Sullivan creates some great characters and has created a scene for a wonderful ...

Members Reviews: Wonderful story I have always loved christian fiction that deals with real life issues, and this book does. You meet Spade and Bria, who are engaged to be married. A medical diagnosis changes all of that and takes this young couple through a lot of challenges. It was a very well written story and I enjoyed it. Powerful Love Story Spade and Bria had a love story for the ages! Beyond the love story came beautiful life lessons. It showed the importance of learning to weather the storms in life as an individual and as a couple. With Spades news, it truly tested both of their wills and showed how resilient they could be and taught them both life long lessons. Then entered Kerryngton! Talk about lavish and sweeping. Bria's character really came alive while with Kerryngton and Kerryngton's bold personality and zest for life was one that sucked me into the story. I also loved the friendship between Nya, Bria, Chance and Spade as well as the relationship between Bria and her parents. These relationships were represented the true essences of healthy and loving relationships and what we all should strive for. I was glad to see Bria's character grow and open up as the story continued because she definitely needed it and I would've wished the ending was more incorporated in the story because it made for an awesome twist. Despite the twists and turns, the story truly proved that real love conquers all. All in the name of love Spade was madly in love with his fiancée, Bria. When Spade gets some bad news from his doctor he decides to call off the engagement. He loved Bria so much he did not want her to go through the ups and downs of his illness. There are times when we receive bad news, but we must wait on the Lord!!!! Excellent book.. A Shameka Powers Original Review! This book has something for everyone! You will not be disappointed. This book reminded me that love conquers all. I don't want to give too much away but I definitely recommend this novel. Five Stars Love this book!!!

Especially at the end. However it doesn't say what the next book is or when its coming out. Does anyone know? Great I love all Miranda books. Angel is a great recovery agent (bounty hunter). Story was entertaining and kept me interested. I really liked the ending. Can't wait til the next one. It is not very interesting!!!! I have to read this book for a book club, but it just does not hold my interest. I keep hoping it will get better; I almost look for excuses not to read it. A Thrilling Ride To The End I loved the first two books in Miranda Parker's Angel Crawford Bounty Hunter series - so I was excited to learn the publisher was releasing the third book. Each book in this series so far is standalone so I a reader can begin with anyone of the titles, but, I recommend you start with the first book, A Good Excuse To Be Bad - it introduces you to Angel's world. Then follow that up with Someone Bad and Something Blue because you are not going to want to miss a moment with Angel & the good Reverend "Too Hot To Be Holy" Justus. Ms. Parker's reputation for depth of characterization shines brilliantly in this well executed romantic suspense. Angel is a strong heroine and Justus, a sensitive and endearing closet alpha male. I also loved the description. The author places you in the story with intricate, but never over done descriptions of places and people. She has a gift for not only story telling but execution. I won't giveway the plot, but I can tell you, Angel and all her men, wanted, somewhat wanted and unwanted make for a very heart thumping read. I eagerly awaited this book and boy was it worth the wait! Rollercoaster Ride with a Bounty Hunter Angel Crawford is at it again in this new installment, Can't Keep A Bad Bride Down by Miranda Parker. Angel has said yes to Pastor Julius Morgan's wedding proposal. It is time to plan their wedding but before the festivities can get started, Angel is off to another adventure. Maxim West cannot get over the kiss he shared with Angel but she just wants to clear the air between them. When they team up to go after Angel's ex-fiancée's killer, both find themselves in a lot of dangerous situations. Will Maxim and Angel solve the mystery behind Gabriel's death? And will it interfere with Angel's wedding? Can't Keep A Bad Bride Down was a romantic suspense novel that readers will find exciting. It had a hint of drama but the main character was consistent with the previous books in the series. I appreciate this author's talent and am sad that there will be no more Angel Crawford books. This book was just as entertaining as the first books in the series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Land-of-Promiscuity-Audiobook/B00CRJKFCA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: slow Great story once it gets started. Like how it touch on families having secrets. Ending points to a possible sequel. A great book Sherryle Kiser Jackson newest novel Land of Promiscuity is a tale of love, indiscretions, secrets and regrets. It is full of twist and turns that will make you angry and gives you hope that things can get better. Rebecca (Rebi) Lucas returns home after a fifteen year absence to bury her mother. She returns bringing her own inner demons and reliving those she thought she left behind. While home, Rebecca encounters old friends and foes making her feel as if she is back in high school. Feelings of insecurity and uncertainty about where she belongs begin to resurface and she starts to fall back into her old pattern of promiscuity. Rebecca is seeking love and acceptance but goes about it in all the wrong ways. During her stay, Rebecca reconnects with her long time best friend Will Donavon. Will is her only true friend that has been with her all through school. He was the one person that saw Rebecca for who is really was and loved her as a true friend. As she and Will reconnect they discover a huge secret and learn the importance of forgiveness. But are some things too big to let go? Can they forgive the biggest indiscretion of them all and move forward? Galatians 6:9 states, "Be not weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap and not faint." This is a great scripture and it works for both the book and the reader. Like the character there is so much that we tend to become weary about and we change courses in the middle because we aren't able to see the final results. Rebecca becomes weary in her walk and struggles to press on until the end. We, just like Rebecca need to stay the course, follow the plan so that we shall reap the rewards that God has planned for us. You will enjoy this book and the paths that Ms. Jackson takes the characters. As you are reading, take the time to learn the lessons, of forgiveness, the issues with keeping secrets and the freedom of moving forward that Sherryle Kiser Jackson writes and teaches about in this book.

(The New York Times Book Review) Members Reviews: Outstanding writing and performance At some point, writing becomes literature. It becomes art. At some point, narration becomes performance art. John Ridley is a brilliant writer, and Dion Graham does more than read; he performs this work, giving voice to the characters and bringing them to life. For those of us old enough to have lived through this era, and young enough to remember it, this is a story that sounds as real as the time. And if the characters and coolness of that era seem dated and even ridiculous, the sad fact is that this was an era in which cultural, collective delusion made it seem far better than it was. Reality happened in grainy black and white, except to those who saw it up close. Most of us didn?t. Mr. Ridley weaves a story of human error, weakness, loyalty, and strength through the events, and with the people, that made the time. A great Adventure This is simply a brilliant novel. I couldn't stop listening to it. It evokes so many different emotions, from anger, to laughter, from sadness, to deep introspection. It will cause you to think about life, and what's really important. Keeps You Entertained This was my first audiobook and I absolutely loved it! The narrator easily got me involved with all the characters and the storyline was very unique, creative and entertaining. Jackie is a helluva Mann Sometimes a novel comes along that seems so real, so full of life, that the reader is certain it must be a biography, the hero must have lived. This is the case with A Conversation With The Mann. In a world alien to most of us, John Ridley has created a story that speaks to each of us, no matter our station in life. Jackie Mann is as real as I am. No greater compliment can be paid an author. Enjoyable I had a hard time putting this one down. I laughed, wanted to yell and cheered. Highly recommend this "A Conversation with the Mann" you'll never be alone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Promises-to-Keep-Audiobook/B002V8HBB0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Today's Black Woman) Members Reviews: Great Book This was a very good book. It was predictable, but it definitely captured my attention. Maybe it was the definition of the narrorators reading but needless to say it was a great book. I loved the characters in the book. So typical of any American family. It could have been your family or my family. Drug addiction and violence is not discrimatory to any race or gender. But it is typical in the human face when feeling are involved. It made you think" I know someone just like that. The ending was great. It was the twist in the story. A little unreal when the entire investigation of the muder took part. But it told the story of what a real loving parent would go through for the love of their child(ren) Promises to Keep This was a great book I enjoyed it alot. Loved it This book was great. About family and perseverance. I recommended this book to a co-worker and she told me that "you did't tell me that I would be crying while reading this book." Very Good!! Very good story plot, the narrator was pretty good! Great story and plot and I also liked the ending!! dissapointing I found the characters shallow and the style of writing immature. It is at the bottom of the list of books I've ordered the last 3 years. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Deadly-Charm-Audiobook/B002V0QUZ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nice Story The story began in an interesting way, but I quickly realized that without knowing it, I had selected a Christian Fiction book. I was afraid that it would be trite, shallow and heavy handed with an overly religious tone, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was not that way at all. The characters were nicely varied and the plot was as interesting as any other in the amateur sleuthing genre. I tired of the main character's complaints, at times, but overall, I would recommend this book to others as a good, entertaining suspenseful mystery. Really Bad What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I could not even get through the beginning of part 1. The story line, the characters, everything was unbelievable. Maybe it got better later, but I'll never know. I just couldn't listen to it. What could Claudia Mair Burney have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Write a story with more believable characters Would you be willing to try another one of Sharon Washingtons performances? No If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Deadly Charm?

I got lost in this story and characters. I felt so deeply for Precious and was moved to tears for her throughout this book. The writing and how Vanessa Riley got her characters emotions across is phenomenal. This is a beautifully written and sweet story about love, family, the human spirit, faith in God, and doing the right thing no matter what. Family isn't just blood relatives, and love comes in all colors, but God is needed in all aspects of our lives. Thank you Vanessa Riley for blessing us with this story. I cannot wait to read more from you. The Bargain Pt 4 This last episode of The Bargain proves again that Precious is indeed a precious jewel. Precious and Captain, Gareth worked through personal issues in all four episodes. Precious' issues were related to her life as a slave. Captain Gareth was plagued by thoughts that his deceased wife was unfaithful. Mzwamadoda, the South African is an interesting character and added an extra oomph to the story. Both Gareth and Mzwamadoda competed for Precious' love. I could not decide who I wanted to win her. This is a lovely story about the healing power of love for people who are deeply wounded. Five Stars Loved it...Five stars The Bargain was a bargain Amazing plot, and great descriptions of settings/wardrobe/transportation/etc. that helped me visualize and understand the Regency time period. The major and minor characters were well-developed and memorable, and the action was suspenseful and held my attention. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Amanis-River-Audiobook/B00YW8R8UG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Amani's River Author: David Hartness Narrator: Clay Lomakayu Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 06-05-15 Publisher: David Hartness Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Ten-year-old Aderito has been brought from the United States to the banks of a beautiful river in Homoine, Mozambique. There he befriends a young girl named Victoria, and for a brief time their childhood is promising. Soon the violence that is raging across the country makes its way to Aderito's doorstep, and both children are abducted by rebels and forced to learn the ways of trained killers in a war they barely understand. With only each other for support, Victoria and Aderito struggle to remain unnoticed among their peers. But the more Aderito kills, the more he needs killing, channeling all his rage into war and becoming a valuable weapon. Victoria, growing older and prettier by the day, begins to attract unwanted attention from their captors. Caught in a battle that ravages villages and tears families apart, Aderito knows he cannot expect a happy ending. And yet he and Victoria make brave plans to escape - only to find themselves facing torments that no adult, let alone child, should ever have to face. As Mozambique struggles through its defining crisis, Aderito, too, must find a way to survive the childhood that will come to define him as a man. Members Reviews: Heartwrenchingly Engaging Would you listen to Amani's River again? Why? No, it was to emotional for me What did you like best about this story? Aderito's love for Victoria Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Clay Lomakayu? Someone without such an over pronunciation of their "s" sounds. If you could rename Amani's River, what would you call it? Childhood Thieves of War Any additional comments? This was a good read but hard on the emotions. Some accounts were described very vividly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Father-for-Her-Triplets-Audiobook/B00JMP9Z3M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Awesome! As always, I am never disappointed with the ending. I can never put your books down. Can't wait for the next book! Great Read I enjoyed the second book as much as I did the first book. In a few months I will probably read it again. RUNNING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION Rebi was faced with serious decisions that would determine the course of the rest of her life. As she sifts through her unresolved feelings for Will and a disgruntled co-worker in Salisbury, her relationship with God begins to flourish. She starts to realize that running is not always bad - if it is into the arms of the Lord. After sacrificing his engagement for Rebi, Will is left to navigate through the passion that drove him to that point all alone. Continuing to scuffle with the unsettling loss of respect for his father, the unveiling of the past threatens to affect everyoneâs future. As a result, Will must singlehandedly contend with the prospect of an outsider taking over the legacy that his father built with his own hands. Will their individual struggles with their emotions and spiritual status ever lead them back to each other? Path to Promise by Sherryle Kiser Jackson was an awesome follow up to Land of Promiscuity. Even if read as a standalone title, the author included enough information about the characters & plot to get a good grip on the events that have led up until this point. I love how the charactersâ flaws are so authentic. This is not your run of the mill church book. Everyone has their own quirks, and the story teaches us how to love others for who they are and not who we want them to be. It highlights the struggle many people have, which is whether or not to conform to the status quo or stand on your own two feet. At the end of the day, Rebi and Will had to come to a point where they dealt with their own personal issues in order to come determine if it was even feasible to have a future together. I am hopeful that Ms. Jackson will take us further on this Weary & Will journey in the future. I'm On the Path! Wow! In the sequel to Land of Promiscuity, Sherryle Kiser Jackson offers a beautiful and inspirational love story, resolving readers' lingering questions from Book 1. Path to Promise picks up shortly after Land of Promiscuity leaves off, addressing the issues that were introduced in the first novel-Rebecca's work woes, Will's reluctance to leadership, and the couple's hot-cold relationship. Rebecca finds herself drowning in harassment on the job by a lawyer who seems to stay one step ahead of her. With her legal career at risk, will she finally believe in herself enough to fight for her own justice? Will's biggest fear has become reality-he is being pushed into the senior pastor role too soon. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/When-Love-Comes-Around-Audiobook/B00N18FL5C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Exceptional! This book opened my eyes as to how the African government strictly controls the biblical education of it's people and the struggles they endure just to have enough to eat. I am thankful for the enlightenment and pray for those who risk their lives to bring God's message to all people. I highly recommend this book. Touched my heart Love this story. Touched my heart. Great Debut I initially dismissed this novel because I knew that it would have its painful moments. But when I started to read it, I really fell in love with the book. You have this African American in the 1930s, who against the better judgment of many, goes to South Africa. He tries to do what the mission board tells him by preaching in English only, advocate the reading of the English Bible as opposed to the marula Bible which is written in the Xhosa language,and discourage from taking a more professional ciricullum, but when he sees that the numbers dwindle during his services,the student's reaction to him initially, and his inaction proves to be an act of defiance towards his students and parishoners that he changes his tune, learns the language and preaches in it, help get a set of older ladies out of jail,encourage the students,participate in marches and protest against the pass laws and relocations, and even falls in love and marry a lovely African woman. One more thing I enjoyed about this is the way they described the landscape of South Africa. It was beautiful. Made you think that you were there as well. This book was great and highly recommended. God's Instrument God called Joshua Clay to preach at an early age. And as a student at Wilberforce University in Ohio, he is working towards his goal of becoming a minister and eventually pastoring his own church. As graduation looms on the horizon, Joshua is given the opportunity of a lifetime, he is offered a position as a missionary in South Africa. This is a very unique opportunity since the story takes place in the 1930's, and Joshua is a Black male experiencing South Africa's system of apartheid. Joshua looks to God for guidance and God leads him to South Africa, on a journey that will change his life. He discovers that the people of Africa are nothing like he imagined; they don't live in the jungle or swing from trees. What he does find is that Blacks are very oppressed in their own land as well, and are considered savages and heathens by the white minority. Even though this seems like a dismal situation, Joshua is determined to make his imprint on the people to whom he will minister. Unfortunately, due to pressures and restrictions from his bosses, conforming to the rules by which he is governed will not be easy for him. As a result, Joshua compromises himself and is blind to the injustices committed against his congregation each day. God should be who Joshua listens to, but his superiors at the mission see things differently, and because of this, life for Joshua is hard. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/My-Brothers-Journey-Audiobook/B01L2MYRHQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Hood Love Booshie Style Subtitle: Book 1 Author: Mickey Dee Narrator: Verline Clingman Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-15 Publisher: Frazier Publishing and Services Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: Rhonda's life took a major turn at 13 when her doctor diagnosed her with bipolar disease. Her periods of high energy and moodiness fraught with drama drove most of her boyfriends from her during her high school years in California. Rhonda had a gorgeous face, reminiscent of Los Angeles models, and a desirable body with curves in all the right places. She appealed to most men. Rhonda's dating life consisted of kissing a lot of frogs and struggles with relationships, at least until she attended her community homeowners' association meeting, where she first laid eyes on Alonzo. He had just inherited his late uncle's condominium in her building, where his hope was to start fresh, escaping his past. Alonzo's past was a hard one. He'd been a ruthless and scandalous thug whose life was quickly spinning out of control and eventually landed him in prison. He'd been skilled in the art of deception and lying to attempt to sleep with as many women as he could. It helped that his physique appealed to most women. He was handsome and well proportioned; his smile could light up a room, and his shoulders and six-pack had women stunned. The ladies just knew he was blessed. Could a rejuvenated yet troubled Rhonda find the sensational love she deserved? Could she tame the desire-laden cravings of Alonzo? Would the former football star/inmate revert to his old habits and have his manly way with Rhonda? bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Mickey Dee) Thu, 17 Dec 2015 21:56:38 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Hood-Love-Booshie-Style-Audiobook/B019CVVVN2 thebookvoice.com 01:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Letters to My Daughters Subtitle: Poetic Affirmations of Love from a Father Author: Avery Washington Narrator: Ronald Clarkson Format: Unabridged Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-20-15 Publisher: Happie Publishing Genres: Fiction, African-American Publisher's Summary: The author created this book to inspire, empower and encourage daughters of all ages around the world. This book is a great tool to catapult daughters into success throughout their present and future endeavors. In Letters to My Daughters: Poetic Affirmations of Love From A Father, Avery Washington affirms his adoration and appreciation for his daughters in an incredibly endearing and empowering way. His poems flow from the heart of a protective father to the soul of a young girl who is learning herself and finding her way in the world. His poem, "God's Creation," reminds the listener of who she is and lets her know that she can use her intelligence and beauty to become all God created her to be. "Self Love" is a poignant reminder to all women that the power of love emanates from within and is a gift from God. In "You Are Never Alone," Avery applauds single mothers and charges them to press on; he encourages them keep their heads up in order to be the foundation their children need while recognizing the gift of motherhood. His ability to transcend and go deep inside the heart of the listener is astonishing. The world is full of broken women and Avery Washington's desire to minister healing and wholeness through the word is evidenced throughout this book. Letters to My Daughters comes at a time where it seems obsolete that fathers are instrumental in their daughters' lives. It is so refreshing to hear a collection of poetry dedicated to celebrating our young girls who will one day appreciate that love of their father. The author profoundly reminds us that the first love a girl has is that of her father. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Avery Washington) Thu, 20 Aug 2015 06:20:21 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Letters-to-My-Daughters-Audiobook/B0145L22C8 thebookvoice.com 00:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

My three daughters. The fact that a man would unleash to his three daughters, a roadmap, with explicit directions leading to self-esteem, compassion and the purpose of God in their lives is rare in any age, but in THIS acquisitive one, it is truly unfounded. No instructions as to how to become rich, powerful and conceited? Surely, Mr Washington has lost a few marbles on his way to the playground! Lol What a treasure trove of love in the first degree Mr. Washington has bequeathed to his three daughters by writing this book. A book that has sealed the purpose of his family tree; a work that will surely be passed down for generations to come. If you are a father/mother who has daughters; do yourself a favor and pay it forward by seeding this book to them. You won't regret it. Thanks Avery! For what you have said to all of us, and your three daughters, by writing this book. Inspiring and informative! 'What a Delightful Book' What a wonderful book. I have known Avery for several years now, and I never knew he had it in him to do this. I suppose I should have realized by how family oriented this man is. Believe me when I say, this author is extremely family oriented...and actually lives what he says in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone!!! Bravo Avery! Powerful!!!! Mr. Washington you have really painted pictures through the love you possess for your daughters and wife, but most of all, for God as a platform for single and married couples. I can witness and attest to this love because my brother shared it with me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/The-Attorney-Audiobook/B00OVB7AB6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Where does The Attorney rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book was one of the better audiobooks I've listened to. I bought the whole series, and I wasn't disappointed. Funny scenes, interesting characters, and a unique story that kept me intrigued and wanting to know what would happen next. I enjoyed the romance between the characters, plus all the interactions between Simone and her friends. For anyone who's been in the dating world, you'll relate to Simone's misadventures that happen on her search for love. Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Powerss other performances before? How does this one compare? This narrator knows her stuff. No errors, very clean recording. She did the voices well, and she also did a good job bringing out the humor in the book. She also did a good job with the sex scenes. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This book made me laugh AND cry. The humor in these Simone books made for quite an enjoyable listening experience. There were also some touching scenes that got me choked up. I wanted so badly for the relationship between these two to work. There was a scene at the end that was so well written that I found myself holding my breath as the characters interacted. It was as if I was in the story with them, feeling all the same emotions. Talented writing by the author. There's a reason she made the New York Times list. The narrator is supremely talented as well. Any additional comments? There was so much to like about this book and the ones that preceded it, too many things to list here. I got completely caught up in the story and didn't want this series to end. Very unique story. I'm a big fan of this author and plan on purchasing all her books the minute they're released on audio. I hope she keeps 'em coming! Loved the romance & the humor What made the experience of listening to The Attorney the most enjoyable? The romance between the main character and the attorney was sizzling hot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Loyalty-Is-Dead-Audiobook/B00IXWNKP4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The story was just ok. What character would you cut from Loyalty Is Dead? The main character, Low Down, has no redeeming qualities. He treats women like they are trash. I absolutely hated his character. Any additional comments? The audio isn't of good quality. The performer would have words or phrases repeated. This happened from the beginning to the end of the audio. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Asylum-Audiobook/B00EAPMPHW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After reading the description, you might wonder just exactly how someone could become trapped in an asylum. Well, apparently it can happen. Just ask Alma Sellars. She just found herself trapped in Pine Haven Sanitarium and being chased by an orderly. That's not the worst of it: she hides in a patient's room only to decide she might have been better off had the orderly caught her. However, it's too late to be worrying about that: she needs to get OUT of this place! NOW! Good luck, Alma. Maybe you should have just stayed home today. Read this short story (a matter of minutes) and find out if Alma ever makes it out of the asylum. You may be surprised at some of the turns in this little tale. (Even if you decide to read it alone at night contrary to the warning in the description.) Good One of the first stories I read by the author and he has gotten better with age/practice. I've read almost all of the Cooper stories and several of Mr. Bernico's short stories and none have disappointed me. They're great for a coffee break or a few minutes to relax. Five Stars bill bernico couldn't write a bad story Quick and to the point This was a great short fast read and I loved it. Too bad amazon makes me go on and on about it. Good it's very compelling, a lot of twists and turns, would become to the thriller type reader. would read more from this author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Killer-Warrior-Audiobook/B00AKGQR1K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Even the finest samurai occasionally needs to hone his skill. Robert Sand is in Japan, pushing his body to the limit under an aged senseis guidance, when he gets the message that practice is over. A French arms dealer named Valbonne has gotten ambitious, and is about to start selling something rather more deadly than a bootlegged Kalashnikov. He is building an atomic bomb. Valbonnes prospective buyer is a Japanese man who has never forgiven the United States for killing his family at Nagasaki.

Members Reviews: Martial Arts Nostalgia II This was the third book in the series written by Marc Olden about an adventurer known to friend and foe alike as the Black Samurai.In this one martial arts expert Robert Sand saves Manhattan from atomic destruction.Along the way he does battle with,among others,a giant axe-weilding Apache warrior.Like the other books in this series this was published in the early 70s during the twin eras of blaxploitation and kung fu-mania.However this is not some cheap, exploitive potboiler.It's a good book.And I recommend it to both martial arts and adventure fans.Good pulp fiction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Counting-Raindrops-Through-a-Stained-Glass-Window-Audiobook/B002V8LBR0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This was a good book that takes you through the twists and turns of a woman's misconception about relationships between men and women. The only draw back to listening to this book is the narrartor swallowing at every pause in the reading the book. You can audibly hear her swallowing and it can get very distracting while listening. Unexpected Ending This was a great book but starts off slow. The ending is something that you might not be expecting. I think the writer did a great job and I can't wait to read some more of her books. I didn't care to much for the reader who read the book for you heard her swallowing everytime she started a new sentence. Over all a great read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/A-Person-of-Interest-Audiobook/B002V1NJ1S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Updated review 06/23/15. The author left a comment regarding errors and problems with book being corrected. So I decided to give the book another try. It was just ok but didn't keep my focus. There were still some errors that drove me crazy. I usually don't focus on errors or grammar mistakes unless they just take away from the book. The book held a lot of promise but it didn't reach out and pull me in. The subcharacters were a delight and I was able to enjoy them more. Deon my girl was priceless . Again, the fighter and beauty was a terrific story line. It's as if there love story was missing that little extra push or punch though. The author mixed love, suspense, murder, & a little thug. Which, will have one thinking wth just happened and then start laughing. I still think Brashaun is excellent and very caring. Aww Mack I wish he could have got the help he needed. I think he could have drew in more laughter for the book. With most errors corrected I would tell other readers to try it and judge for themselves. Sometimes what's mediocre to some may not be for others. I would recommend this book based on concept. I also give thanks to the author for heading my earlier review and making changes Review May 29, 2015 I try not to give bad reviews but I couldn't get 1/2 way through this book. I kept reading in hopes it would get better. Don't like to give 1 star, so I gave 2. I will say the concept was ok but trying to read this book was like getting a tooth pulled! It badly needed an editor. I don't know if it was even edited. There were so many errors and words jumbled together that I didn't know who was talking. Didn't even know what the thoughts were. I truly do not try to be offensive but if the author really take a look at his work, he will find it's not up to par. Edit the book again and make needed changes. Then it may be readable. I wasn't able to enjoy the characters. Terri and Brashaun's story was hard to understand. Again mistakes took away from the concept. They could have had a beautiful story with great subcharacters. A fighter and a lady with beauty/brains. How they met was priceless and unique. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Beauty-and-the-Barber-Audiobook/B01LY3SIN0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A fun and light-hearted romance In spite of the cute book cover that shows angry people, this was a very fun read overall. Author Emmanuel Sullivan has done a wonderful job of combining conflict and romance in his "Beauty and the Barber" and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey with this group. The story of Butterfly (that's her name), who inherited a troubled barber shop from her uncle. She gets it fixed up much to the consternation of the good looking salon owner from across the street name Kelwyn. There are some nice light-hearted moments and a few intense ones here but I really enjoyed the ending to this one. Recommended. Never Give Up! I enjoyed this short story very much. I can understand Butterfly's headaches and wanting to give up. Especially when everything seems to be crumbling down all around you and you don't know whom to trust. Emmanuel Sullivan pens this great story about Butterfly. But we also learn from her tale that we must persevere and there is a good reward for those who work hard. The characters were relatable and believable. The story was well written. If you are looking for a good short story, pick this one! Good romantic read A good romantic story where a small town girl sets aside her insecurities and takes on the challenge of running a barbershop, finding her feet and falling in love during her travails with setting up and running the shop. The book is well written, well paced and reads like a chamring little romantic movie. Recommended reading. Funny and engaging With a main character named âButterflyâ, the story can only be quirky. Butterfly has to use her wits to keep her late uncleâs shop operating while fighting off first the devious tricks from her neighbor across the road, and then her growing love for him. Her survival depends on the interference from all quarters. Barber beauty A short story of a girl who inherited her uncle's barber shop. It was in sad shape, but her friends and relatives pitched in to make it ready for business. The salon across the street did some sabotage to her plans. But it all turned out happily in the end. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Murran-Audiobook/B0187ZD04C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: African, vs. African American culture clashes in this gripping coming of age tale This was a very, very interesting story. It was very well researched and all the characters feel flushed out and you are able to care about them very quickly. Having grown up in a different country coming to the US; I fully understand the conflicts of self identification Trey as well as Mr. Jackson went through. The different cultures and settings: Africa vs New York were very gripping, detailed and interesting to read. You almost felt as if you stood right there in the story with them. I really truly enjoyed the story and I couldn't wait to find out how what Trey would ultimately do with his life: would he stay in Africa with the Maasai or would he return to New York to face the consequences of his decisions in life? Early in the story as we follow his decisions in life we could almost noticeably root for him and yell at him for being an idiot and to not throw his life away and that of his sister and for him to be a man and stand up to the gangs. I do understand that those are hard things to do and it's easier to just tell somebody to do something when you're not the one standing there having to live with the consequences of standing up to the gangs. Ultimately this is a really good read and I think this might be a very good one for young teenagers as well as adults to get a sense of the definition of what is a warrior; what are the Warriors weapons and how are the cultures different in Kenya vs the USA... raw, real & painful Murran by Frank Fiore is a startlingly accurate portrayal of the slim options offered urban African-American youths in the 1980s and even today. It is often politically incorrect and in-your-face real, yet it is so compelling and well written than a reader will continue to eat and digest page after page of this indictment of America's failure to nurture our own young. Trey, 15, has lost his stable home because of drugs and crime. Forced to live with his grandmother in an even worse part of town, he is pressured into a gang and the gang lifestyle. Losing both parents, his only thought is to protect his younger sister. Without real guidance, his decision change his life from horrible to horrific to deadly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Lil-Mz-Understood-Audiobook/B00U7MNNG4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Understood. Members Reviews: Lil Mz Understanding I must say Ms Harmony took my feelings that I felt as a young adult and put them on paper. I'm 34 yo and can certainly relate to competing with your father's girlfriend and not truly having my father's attention that I desperately craved. Lil Mz Understood should be read by everyone, because this book was written for teens in mind; however, everyone can relate to something in this book. I'm truly excited to see what Ms Harmony has for us in the future. Missy is a young lady that is trying to find her way in the world with the help of her friends. She experience heartache from her first relationship and betrayal from her best friend at the same time. Moreover, after being thrown into an adult situation, she decides things must change. While doing so, she meets Mitchell whom she falls for quickly. However, Mitchell has a secret. Will Missy accept the secret? You must read Lil Mz Understanding to see what happens to Missy and those close to her.. Bravo Ms Harmony cause you did your thang! Great job!!! I loved this book! This young lady has a great future ahead of her. I am so proud of her, like I know her. I thought this book was well written, & very honest. I think she took her time, and thought about every sentence that was written carefully. I will definitely read another book by her. This is the type of books young adults should read and learn from. I don't have any teenagers but if I did, this would be the type of material to read. Tryna follow in your dad footsteps couldn't have been easy. But you have done well. Well done. 1 click asap and See what our youth is thinking and doing from their point of view. Your dad can only be proud. Looking for the next instalment, I see you Harmony. Bravo Harmony Miller I read the book in one and half days and I enjoyed every minute of my reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Dreams-of-Marriage-Audiobook/B00NFQOX04 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The plot was fun to read. I really enjoyed seeing Leah and Andrew's relationship progress. My only problem with the story is that the book felt a little rushed. It would have been perfect if it was a little bit longer and had a bit more detail in it. It seemed like only a few days had passed from the time Andrew had walked into Leah's office for the first time to when he proposed to her. Although, from some things that happened in the book, you can tell it must have been more than a few days. The reader just isn't sure when everything happened. I liked all of the characters. They made the book entertaining to read. My favorite character was Cheryl, Leah's aunt. She seemed like she was a woman wise beyond her years. I liked her spunky personality. Perfect Wedding was a good story. It's a perfect read for a short ride or a wait at a doctors office. Short and Sweet... Dreams of Marriage was a good short story. I purchased the audio book version and listened to it in the car. The narrator's voice was smooth and even. I enjoyed how he made each character's voice different and come to life. I would have to agree with other reviews that the story did seem a little rushed, especially towards the end. I would have really like to see Leah and Andrew's relationship develop more before she fell in love and committed to marriage. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and will look for other books written by this author and narrated by Ronald Ray Strickland. QUICK READ OF NICE STORY MY REVIEW: I won a copy of this book from the author on a blog giveaway and was really excited as my youngest daughter is engaged and I thought it would make a great gift for her. I enjoyed reading this book. It is short, at less than 50 pages printed, and so it is a quickly-read book. I appreciated the various conflicts in the book and did find myself wrapped up in the issues with the characters. I wanted Leah to find a future husband and I definitely was rooting for her to find her father and develop a relationship with him. I found myself anxious to get back to my reading of this first publication by Debra Benson. She definitely weaves her beliefs on faith into the storyline of the book. I will be looking forward to more good books from this author in the future. Praying for Answers Leah is a weight-loss consultant. When Andrew, an over weight caring person comes to her clinic, there is chemistry between them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Fiction/Love-Is-in-the-Air-Audiobook/B00DTTBNIW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/707/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointing I had trouble with the story line as well as the characters. I fast forward a few times. It was dragging big time. Holly was a sap! Anderson was a jerk and a few other things too. How are you going to blame the ex-fiance for your insecurities? You left her at the alter without an explanation for two years. Then dogged her out. Madison was too reserved,really???? In the end Holly & Anderson deserved each other .....I think. Love conquerors I loved the book about holly and Anderson meeting in the airport and soon dating and falling in love and spending the rest of their lives together . I can't wait to read Madison and sturats love story say it with a rose. Don't waste your time This book was awful. The characters were dull and the sex scenes were even more dull. The booked jumped all over the place. I should've taken a nap instead of wasting my time with this book. The story line was descent but had no excitement. I do plan to give this author another chance though. Looongest short read Ever I have never read anything by this author and I don't think I'll go back for another helping. I was sooo bored. The goody goody girl was just too much for me. Everything was a misunderstanding and it was so easy to say the wrong thing to her. She got on my nerves quickly. Good Read... This book W's a really God read I got after reading a sample and couldn't put it down.. I just brought another book by Devon and I hope its just as good....

I ordered this book on my Kindle on 4/10/2010, immediately after I finished part 1(The Chance She Took). And as I expected, it was a great read. The way this book opened up was HOT!!! I had to know the whole story. There were a lot of unexpected events...totally unpredictable! The new story line and the new characters just added to the drama and excitement of the first novel. Angell Epps, the daughter of a well known minister, is completely green and nave, a complete contrast to Rayqelle. But there is one thing they both have in common and that is the handsome, muscular, bald, and dark chocolate, Evan Chance. He's just as irresistible as ever!:-) In the end, he gets the shock of his life(I did too). You gotta read it to find out. Great sequal Kole Black! The Risk of Chance book 2 I read this book in 5 hours, it is the sequel to The Chance She Took. This book was a good read with a few grammatical errors. The book kept me on the edge and was entertaining. I am going to read The Game of Chance Series book 3, I can't wait to see what happens when Rayquelle shows up at Chance house to give him some news. Good Book Good Book. Glad that I read this book. I enjoyed reading this as well Fabulous read! I enjoyed reading this as well! Suspense I just wanted to keep reading!
