Book excerpt: "Henrietha" A troubled Jamaican woman of many woesome years and with a history of compulsive abuse, marries into misery as wife to male chauvinist and philanderer Demian Browne who in his treachery around the right to ownership of Henrietha's flesh earnestly evinces- "If I can't have you then no other man will." 'She's white so she doesn't understand my plight as a black woman'. So thinks Henrietha Browne about Joanna White who she met at a Caribana event. "Henrietha Browne is a 'story source' that will feed me the meat of my magazine article on strong women'." "Joe, my ex husband moved in with the biggest bimbo I've ever seen. I suspect they met when I was laid up with a terrible flu." "Waiting..." "Ruby, keeps on insisting she's a sistah when she knows darn well she isn't...!" Such is the conviction of Susan Ottawa a black Canadian lawyer with a staunch belief in self: the will to self-empower without any need for the Almighty God. She draws strength instead from her 'god' Johnny Cochrane as if she 'had caught the hem of his coat as he was leaving this world. "I can see the White House burning back then.

"This is truly a work of hope and conquest. The beginning is good and it gets better. The flashbacks engaged my mind on a travel through time on what was a journey at the tip of my fingers, and at the edge of my imagination.

Download or read book Manslations written by Jeff Mac and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ULTIMATE INTERPRETER OF GUY BEHAVIOR Why doesn't my man get me flowers? Easy - because flowers don't do anything cool. Will I scare him off if I call him first? No way. Well, not unless he's actually terrified of his phone, in which case you likely have bigger problems. Why can't he just talk to me about our relationship? Yeah . . . and how come a gazelle never waits around to see if that lion is friendly? Men sometimes seem impossible to understand. But it turns out they're about as easy to read as coloring books - if you know what you're looking for. Manslations answers all these questions and more in this hilarious - and honest - guide to what men say, who they are, and why they behave the way they do. "When that guy told you - within thirty seconds of introducing himself at the bar - that he drives a hybrid because he cares about the environment, the manslation is that he was trying to work his way into your bikini areas." Manslations reveals the golden rule that helps you figure out what never to worry about (and what to lose sleep over), plus the two key questions that will help unlock the meaning behind even the most confusing male actions. Capped off by a man-to-woman phrasebook, this is the only relationship guide you'll ever need.

Book excerpt: Some blind dates are worse than others... Little did paralegal Kelly Camden know that this blind date would set in motion a course of events that would cause her to be the lead suspect in a high profile murder. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Brad Howard, her blind date, was fighting for his life and Kelly is apparently the only one who can save him.

After Brad is taken away by ambulance, Kelly's life suddenly turns upside down when a series of strange and frightening messages come her way, threatening both her life and Brad’s. On top of it all, Kelly finds herself identified as the main suspect in a murder related to one of her firm's big cases. Worse yet, the messages continue to get more menacing making it clear that Brad is in danger and only Kelly can “save the date” - save Brad. With the help of her best friend and fellow paralegal, Sam Greyson, this “pair of legals” set out to unravel the wide-ranging mystery that threatens everyone in its path. “Save the Date” is the first book in the “A Pair of Legals Mystery” Series.

But like all things in life, whatever you do in the dark eventually comes into the light, and Maiya is faced with the consequences of her actions. The only question is, will her relationship with her daughter survive. An emotional rollercoaster, Daughter by Spirit will likely move you to tears.

Because I’m about to call those sexy, loving fellas, Drew and Aithan, my husbands. When I look in the mirror, I finally see the beautiful woman my men love. We’ve survived a hellish year, and we're on track for happiness. Until greed slithers from the dark corners of Drew's past, and pride tries to drive a wedge between Aithan and me.

Because nothing will stand in our way. Nothing will ruin our happiness. Nothing.

But, if you love curvy girl, chronic illness romance with a why choose relationship and two cinnamon roll heroes who are all about her happiness, then this series is calling your name.
