I have read this story over and over again and I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that a Jury of her peers found her to be guilty and a Judge sentenced her to 20 years in Prison.  Now, this is not a matter of race nor gender on my behalf, but I'm so confused.  Being a former Paralegal and an Advocate for Prison Reform, as well as forming working with Inmates, I'm finding this disturbing. This lady did not commit murder, nor did she commit an assault, however, the Judge found it in his heart to sentence her to 20 years in Prison for the crime of assault.  And not just assault, but aggravated assault.  The only crime that I have is that she was in possession of a deadly weapon in which she only fired a warning shot to ward off her abusive husband.  She did not shot him, nor did she shot at him.  There is a difference. The crime was committed by her husband...abuse is abuse.  Whether is physical, mental, verbal, financial, emo...

I found this book to be entertaining to read.  The book also made me mad a bit.  However, I feel the title should have been "How To Lose a Black Man."  The main female character was just awful.  Had this not been a fiction novel and it was real life, she would have been left in the cold.  Her blantant disrespect for someone she states she loves and is going to marry was just deplorable. I feel she was just out to get a ring and disregard the fact that she was engaged.  When the unthinkable happens, she then realizes that she indeed has a fiancé  and goes running to him to rescue her.  When she was the one who put herself in the position she was in. The main male character was just an honest man looking for love and a hopeless romantic.  All he wanted was a woman that was going to love him just as much as he was going to love her...unconditional.  He looks for love in the one place most people wouldn't think of looking ...

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and asked yourself, "Why did I do that?"  or "Why do I do the things that I do?"  Sanaa Robinson, is a young woman that can't seem to figure that out.  She uses her body as a tool and wonders why men look at her the way they do.  She wonders why men won't take her serious and want to be in a serious relationship with her.  As a young woman, she's the mother of two small children by two different men and another one on the way by another man.  Sex is her downfall.  She puts sex and men before her children and herself.  It's a wonder she hasn't contracted an STD from having unprotected sex.  This book is supposed to be an Urban Erotica but I believe it's a book about self-esteem and self-worth, along with trying to find herself.  Sanaa gets involved with every man that tells her what she wants to hear.  Who smiles at her and acknowledges that she has a body on her.  She...

"Love knows no bounds... neither does the Wiggins Sisters. Find out just how boundary-less they are in Between Sisters. " The Wiggins Sisters have no shame whatsoever in their game.  These are nothing to reckon with.  Talk about the ties that bind.  I don't think there are any blood sisters out there as wild as these sisters. Out of the six sisters, there seemed to be only two that were sensible.  Those two were not out to do every man that came there way. Mandingo was at the helm of it all.  He had three of the sisters looking to do bodily harm to each all behind his fourteen inch body part.  Was it that serious?  To them, it was.  Two other sisters lost respect for each other behind the husband of one of them.  Reading about him, it was not that serious.  He was a dog in heat, woofing behind any female behind a skirt. I know I mentioned five of the six sisters, and stated that two of them were sensible, however of th...

When I opened this book to read it in my iPad, I really didn't know what to expect.  The title alone would have a reading saying, 'Hmmm.'  I thought the book was about the dessert Tapioca Pudding.  I was so wrong.  The main character, Tapioca is a hot little mess.

The attention because so intense that he finds himself falling in love.  Little does he know a secret that threats to ruin his love for Tapioca.  That secret is put to the test, as well as his love for sex.  Can Charles get a handle of his sex ...
