IN LOVE WITH LOSERS by LaToya S. Watkins tells the story of a group of women who are looking for a man to love and who will love them. Zora is recovering from a bad relationship with Bryan and she stays away from men in general. However, she meets Will, an African doctor, at a girls’ night out and finds him so attractive she can’t resist him. Will he be better than Bryan? It seems Will has his secrets too. Emery, a Black man who is very interested in helping others, moves near her and they become friends, but that wild spark isn’t there. Not yet, anyway.
Donisha has children by two men, the last man being Franco, an Italian she found very attractive. She gives the little girl up for adoption but Franco steps in and takes her. They break up and she meets Marcus, a deacon in the church. Is this the man for her? Marcus has a dark past that just might come to light.
Chelle is in love with Ty even though her friends assure her he is no good. He deals drugs and lives off Chelle’s money when he can. He has extensive baby mamma drama that threatens the relationship. The baby mamma is a rather mean person who will go to any lengths to get to Ty.
These friends have deep problems with men and the biggest thing they need to learn is forgiveness so they can move on with their lives. Emory is very good at talking about forgiveness and he definitely helps Zora out with her issues. LaToya S. Watkins has written a very stunning novel that covers many of the problems women encounter as they seek their life partner. The characters are well-developed and it’s easy to see how each woman falls for the type man she does and why she goes for the same type over and over again. Their growth calls for giving up their past and moving on. This is a novel well worth reading.
