Sinful Desires by Ty Goode
|
|
Sinful or Forbidden? While reading "Sinful Desires" I was reminded of wanting that forbidden fruit. It look so good felt so good you now it
just had to be good. "Sinful Desires" was hot to the touch put you just could not put down. As you read the tale of the three woman, Tricia,
Simone, and Melissa, you will be drawn into their lives. What" Sinful Desire" will come between childhood friends. I was so drawn into this
wonderfully created tale of lust,love,betrayl. From the first page to the last you will be hooked on is Tricia & Tarik's love really all that?
And what about Simone and Kareem, you know what they say a man will do what you allow him to do. I must not forget Melissa & her older Dr. Phil
husband. If you want a book that is like a cup of Mawell House coffee "good to the last drop" you must read "Sinful Desires"
I will be recommending my book club Sugar & Spice to read it.

What's Done In The Dark by Gloria Mallette
|
|
Sisters ha!!!!! Could not put this book down. Katrina puts a new meaning to the word hate. I did not think sisters could hate each other so.
You would want to keep reading just to find out if Katrina could get any worse. Celeste is a better woman than myself I could not help Katrina
after the way she treated her from the begining. Thumbs up for Robert for finally taking a stand against Katrina I thought they would forever me
blinded. Run don't walk just get this book.

What A Way To Step Out. Way to go Ms. Winslow. For this to be your first you would never think, "Life.Love & Loneliness" was written so well
and the characters were blened so well together. I know there is a sequel in the making. Keep up the good work!
