Hollywood Deception by Shelia Goss

HOLLYWOOD DECEPTION by Shelia Goss played out like a movie in my head and there was never a dull moment.  Goss displayed a mixture of mystery, drama, romance, suspense and unpredictable situations.  There were times I was on the edge of my seat, anxiously waiting for the next incident to occur. 

Two The Hard Way by Travis Hunter

After Kwame and Romeo’s mother abandoned them, they went to live with their grandmother who is affectionately called Nana.  Romeo, the youngest of the two, idolized his older brother and when he went to prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Romeo’s world went to pieces.  It was easy to get caught up in the streets, but Romeo focused on being the star quarterback at his high school, hanging out with his militant midget, best friend Amir, and Kwame’s pending release. 

The Secrets of Paradise Bay by Devon Vaughn Archer

It’s strange how siblings can be raised in the same home, taught the same morals and values, but choose different paths in life.  Take for instance brothers, Trey and Clyde Lancaster.  Trey wants the best things life has to offer and worked very hard to become the most successful man in Paradise Bay.  On the other hand, Clyde becomes overshadowed by Trey’s accomplishments and chooses a life of crime, which lands him in prison.

Cougars by Earl Sewell

If your perception of players is philandering men, COUGARS by Earl Sewell may put a sizable dent in that perception.  Forty-three year old Jasmine Sallie is beautiful, confident and in touch with who she is.  She works hard, but she plays harder.  This Renaissance woman has charted a non-typical road to, dare I say, romance?  She and her three running partners have a sweet tooth for younger men, and they take no prisoners.  

All About Eva by Deidre Berry

Eva Cantrell exchanged the life of a beauty magazine editor for that of a socialite when she started dating investment banker Donovan Dorsey.  Her days were filled with shopping and lunches at high-end restaurants and her nights were filled with parties all over the globe.  She was quickly brought down to reality when she was abandoned in Switzerland while on vacation with Donovan.  When she arrived back in the States, she discovered Donovan was missing, she had no place to live, all her possessions were gone and her friends had turned their backs on her. With nowhere else to go, she rooms with Donovan’s attorney until she can get on her feet and they discover Donovan’s whereabouts.  These are only the beginning of the troubles Eva faces in ALL ABOUT EVA.  

Inside Rain by Monique D. Mensah

Rain, a neo-soul spoken word artist, resides in a two-level flat with her siblings, Carmen and Danny.  Her relationship with her sister, who is a drug addict, and her brother, who has anger management issues, is strained because they feel she has always been the favorite of their mother and grandmother. Rain suffers from bad dreams and a suppressed memory of the events of her mother’s murder of which she was a witness.  As each dream becomes more real, she starts to remember the details of the horrific crime.  Her grandmother feels this is therapeutic for her and it will be the key to unlocking the mental trauma Rain has experienced since the murder.  However, the painful memory may be too much for Rain to bear.
