Honey doesn’t know God but has been in a church service and wonders what the excitement is all about—salvation. Honey’s mother allows her daughter to be with her male friends because they have money. (Personal note): I shook my head, wondering what mother does this to their daughter (or child at all), unless she is on drugs. However, the mother admits she is not a woman or a mother which I call a ‘monster’ and only to meet her own selfish needs—greed (money). Then, Honey feels it is a conspiracy that all her contacts are coming to Jesus—getting saved, could God be seeking her soul too? The ending of the story is the most powerful portion of the novel: Jesus is the vine, you are the branches. We also have to know our heredity and genealogy cause you to miss what He has for you—we cannot deny the blood that flows through our veins, nor the bloodline we come from, but with Jesus’ BLOOD we are healed, delivered, and sanctified (or saved).
Dream Moment(s): “We loved each other completely…revealed the internal war that was waging because of that love (page 40).” We all battle an internal war within ourselves, and some are not open to love based on our past memories of how love was administered or practiced. Moreover, we have to give ourselves away and surrender to love, and be willing to love wholeheartedly—God is love. Besides the emotional drama, spiritual roller coaster for Honey Lamb, there is also comic relief and crossing my fingers for a fulfilling ending.
Dream Disaster (Nightmare(s)): Early readings, the writer keeps you intrigued except I felt I was going in circles and waiting for the story to reveal itself; guess Honey Lamb is also going in circles with her personal and emotional issues.
Dream 4 More (Keep us Dreaming or Begging for more): Reliving the romantic reunion, or even past memories of love but Honey allowed the relationship to go numb because of her past love experiences with her mother, difficult to love her husband Mason. Therefore, Mason mentioned that he may be unable to “forgive and forget” and I truly believe if we forgive—we can forget. In other words, God forgives our sins and doesn’t remember it (gone forever); therefore, He can only forgive us if we forgive those who have trespass us. So, if we forgive, we should not prolong, hold on to it, or keep mentioning the things we have forgiven. We also need to break generational curses such as hurt, betrayal, violence, and abuse to name a few. We do not realize our actions can mess up our future generation or legacy because of your mishaps, carry the sins into our relationships (even children and their children), and need to break the cycle by the BLOOD of Jesus Christ (please see p. 168).

Review Summary:
Alexander Love is an attorney seeking to make partner at a law firm but also noted for his stellar performance in the courtroom, winning cases. He is a lover’s man besides a reserved and daring man but serious dating is not on his list until he meets Ami’s best friend and roomie, Jada Whitman. Their body language says it all—reaction, relation, romance with a magnetic attraction, connection, and chemistry that is hard to ignore. This rarely happens in early relationships or at all.
Dream Moment(s): “Her head was telling her one thing, her heart another, and her history something completely different (page 51).” For some reason, this line had captivated me into the story and wanted Jada to take me there and share exactly what was on her mind, heart, and past history of which made her feel that her relationships were not healthy and doomed for failure. Amore nibbles us in bit by bit when we read that Jada lost her family by a car accident unplanned to how she doesn’t know how to receive or give love.
Dream Disaster (Nightmare(s)): There was an editor mentioned on the copyright page; however, there were typographical errors that were hard to dismiss (e.g. page 5 Brian and a paragraph later becomes Brain) and easy proofreading errors that could have easily been corrected. There are a few grammatical issues too. Yet, I was able to continue reading and some highlights in the Amore’s writing style.
More importantly, it was hard to lock the reader in the fairytale of love at first site with numerous characters and mention of their careers (which is great to see them accomplish such studious and successful careers) immediately in the first chapter, where the reader easily gets bored or loses track of the actual plot of the story. It was unnecessary and a development editor would have omitted these passages to keep the flow of the story. It was irrelevant and forgets who the main characters are: Alex and Jada including secondary characters. There is a way that they could have been introduced and brief description but would have been best to remove them. However, I did find myself going back to the first chapter when I saw Sean or other cousins introduced to see their careers or role in the story.
Dream 4 More (Keep us Dreaming or Begging for more): To wonder if this sudden romance between Alexander and Jada is going to lead to anything promising, especially since it starts off as a goo-goo eye, premature romance and Alex does what some men do—buy flowers. Waiting for the “It” Factor. Definitely the romance comes alive midway of the novel.
Review Summary: JL Whitehead writes a story not only about brothers, but family relationships and the life journey's they choose and sometimes their choices need to change. Nate has taken the wrong path in comparison to his brothers especially Jai, who works at a law firm, in a relationship with Taylor, and has a son, Joshua. Nate's reality is to make quick cash on the streets, hustling and bustling instead of working a 9 to 5. He desires the finer things in life but not willing to work hard for it. His mother, Thandi at sixty-three wants to best for her three sons and loves the bonding of family and willing to do what it takes to keep them united. Her other son, Ryan, is doted as the gay brother/son that Nate refuses to accept his lifestyle. However, Ryan still believes in God but unable to find a male companion who shares the same interests and able to love on all levels. Tamra is Ryan's closest friend on so many levels, and wants the best for her dear co-worker and friend.
Dream Moment(s): The author emphasizes some valid lessons and points on page 102-105, where some of us don't fit the profile and love doesn't hurt (in reference to character Maya, and Trenace is trying to tell her). We may not fit the profile but something came in our way to change our current status such as background, upbringing, and self-esteem, searching for love in all the wrong places, and not knowing our worth.
Dream Disaster (Nightmare(s)): There are numerous characters to keep up with but the pace isn't slow nor rushed and written so eloquently. The author can be also mindful of the tenses used. There was another thing that caught my attention on page 87 states "2011 Lincoln Navigator" was the new car offered to Nate and on page 199 reads "SUV" and this type of car is considered a truck than a SUV. Some of the typesetting put the words closely knitted together (e.g. diningroom and p.122 are some examples). "Descent" should be "descend" on page 127. These minor errors don't deter you from the overall novel.
Dream 4 More (Keep us Dreaming): This book reads more than just Urban Fiction, also has the element of Suspense and sprinkle of Mystery. The reader is able to see who the murder/killer is but other characters are trying to figure out who it is responsible for these sporadic murders. Whitehead also takes us into the mindset, emotions or feelings of the characters, and sets up the scene nicely in most aspects of the novel. This is not just another Urban-street lit book, it captivates the reader into the dark side of the streets known as the "Block" and the horrid side of a crack head with a gory-like feel to it.

She gives great realistic standpoints in the book such as “If God hasn’t put the two of you together then your relationship is illegal, meaning it is not ordained by God nor is it in His will” (p. 4). She encourages couples to rekindle their broken, or sour relationships as well as singles to seek a godly mate, not settling for less (e.g. baby momma, sidekick, or even play wifey).
Dream Moment(s): I loved the “preface” where she not only alerts the readers in but lets us know to chill and get ready to dig in the goodies of the book. The introduction opens up with the worldwide topics: sex. We are to examine our relationships to see what type of bond we truly have with one significant other. Moreover, she has a heart and willingness to help failed relationships. She also enlightens the reader on true intimacy with 11 steps or principles. (Truly, I hope to get this author on one of my 3 Internet Talk Radio program(s) to speak on this book and issues more in depth).
The key viewpoints or quotes highlighted in borders (boxes) are worth reading and applying in your life. I starred many of mines in the book! I enjoyed the eleven principles but favorite ones were “preparation” and “production.”
Dream Disaster (Nightmare(s)): None.
Dream 4 More (Keep us Dreaming or Begging for more): Moreover, Ms. Sheppard keeps us dreaming for the best in our relationships and hope she continues to write what God imparts in her!
The three tests for a man on page 34 from a spiritual perspective: credit check; blood test check; and background check. This definitely was making a woman dream 4 more in a relationship, partner, and mate.

The author shares a story about Lydia Sterling who thinks she has to play the game first with best friends, sexy Black Brothas, while the bases are loaded to get her pickings before she gets played or strikes out. Lydia has the mentality like most women who have been hurt, bitter, or cheated on and believes most men are “dogs” lurking behind some other woman—cheaters alert to avoid getting hurt. She has the take vs. give mentality; play or get played motto early on. Therefore, why not have a man on the side for the ride? Later, her best friend, Milena Clark joins the party, and brings in another partner (Yosef Samson) to show up at Jacour’s party, the ex-fiancé. Milena lost the man she loved on her wedding day after hearing and watching a sex tape made at his bachelor’s party and heard it from her long-time girl friend—but goes off the dating scene for eight years without sex. Unbelievable for most women and men to fathom, yet I can understand and relate since I’ve been off the scene for over seven years. Can these lovebirds make it happen a second time around?
“The Hot Box” is laced with erotic senses, verbal and imaginative descriptions of sexual scenes, and what two women are willing to do for love and lost love. The book also starts off with Lydia categorizing three men as the Three Musketeers who were inseparable friends who lived by the motto “all for one, one for all”: Glenn (Portho), Phil (Athos), and Jacour (Aramis). As the reader/reviewer, I am eagerly waiting to see if this story will play out like the three duels from the historical novel from the seventeenth century (1625) and bring in another character that will learn from the leader of the pact, and took a glance of the historical novel on Wikipedia. Milena was my favorite character, the protagonist, and discovered love lessons through Yosef. (I also have a character named 'Yosef' in my future upcoming Miss the Mark Series, apocalyptic thriller, who is an African).
*Overall, I loved Zane earlier works like “Addicted,” “Afterburn,” to name a couple.

Review Summary:
Kalina Denise Harris has dreams of meeting a wealthy man who will sweep her off her feet. This seems to be the fantasy-fairytale dream for most single young women. In the opening chapter, “word is our bond” was a valuable lesson taught between father and daughter’s morning talk. Sometimes, we are willing to throw our own dreams and happiness away to please someone else to make them happy. The once happy, perfect home clashes before Kalina’s eyes, and discovers her only friend, Mandy, married and pregnant. She was hoping her only friend would also go to college too. Later, she has nowhere but to her aunt’s house in Philadelphia. This situation didn’t last very long. No longer a country girl with a drawl, has to learn the streets and runs into people who knew her mother and aunt—small world. Her naïve upbringing surely changes after two years of being under the household of Jordan living with his six grandsons by his son, Billy.
This debut novel is a splendid read, beautifully written and delicately told with such horrid incidents flash on the pages once an adulterous affair goes berserk leaving the seventeen-year-old Kalina in a hopeless state. Dreams shattered in a tickling of an eye. Moreover, this story had twists and turns and tragic events I was not looking to bump into. The author also wrote a story that wasn’t predictable and hoped for a meaningful ending. I hope this author writes more entertaining and edgy stories because she has a fan!
Lesson: Be careful what you do to others, for you will reap what you sow.

Some of the album covers mentioned in the novel, I recalled seeing those same ones as a youth.
Tai, turning the big 4-0 (40 years old) also known as the “new twenty,” the next phase of her life, and former career as a marketing representative to entrepreneurship of her own employment agency. She also wanted to spend her special day with Austin, but he was a no-show and ignored her calls, tests, and emails. Ladies, some of us have been there!
Candace loves adventure and pure freak-a-zoid until she meets a man that is far off than she could ever imagine where she ran the h-e- to the double “ll” out of there.
Nevada is a loner except for spending time with her partners in crime (Tai and Candace): no kids, never married, and focused on career as a former newspaper reporter to investigator—good at what she does! She unlocked the mystery of estranged husband while on a PI case.
Trista comes back to the fold, in Tai’s life, her long-lost sister where Tai takes her under her wing also feeling slightly guilty for living with Grandma after their parents died and Trista stayed with a close neighbor until she dies. Trista doesn’t want to discuss bad memories as Tai shares good memories, yet regretful since Tai didn’t have the same outcome as Trista during their years of separation until now in their adulthood. Waiting to see what Trista has been through that she doesn’t want to rehash on bad memories during small talk with her sister, Tai.
See what’s in store with the fashion diva (Candace) and getting-back-on-track (Trista) when they meet two debonair twins on a shopping spree that goes woe is me…
Charmaine R. Parker debut novel started off beautifully written, just enough but not an overkill to take you over the edge with fluff. Her sexual scenes were so delicately shown as a romantic, but keep you on the tip of exoticness. If you like “Sex in the City” show, you’ll enjoy reading this novel. There is a dose of suspense, mystery, laced with romance and adventure.

Dream host: Adrienna Turner cannot wait to ask a couple questions on the line in reference to writing choices, on relationships, and what encouraged her to write this book. Overall, I have learned so much from the book on love, relationships, reconcile past memories or incidents, and forgiveness. We also see things as we want to see it and not willing to open our eyes to see the real issue until we are brought in and can't help not ignore like Beverly Howard had to see! I loved the older men in the story and their love for their wives, vows, especially Doug Howard. So far, I believe this is one of the best books thus far I read by Michelle but also liked/enjoyed her past books that I've had the pleasure to read.(less)

Other valuable lessons taken from this novel:
*add God in your conversations
*long-term friendships between Tierra and Shireece
*male friendships, treated like a brother/sister relationship
*a family that prays together, stays together and unleashes the power of forgiveness and healing
The author has improved on their writing style, yet still proofreading issues such as punctuation, word inconsistency (pay roll should be payroll) to name a few. Overall, as a reviewer and author, I see how this writer has grown, filled in the blanks of the hidden pieces in this new version of the novel, and ready to read the next novel in the series. If you love romance, chick-lit, and contemporary fiction—this is a match for your book reading pleasures.

She celebrates this new freelancing gig with Aidan and later meets with her girls at Redemption hot club spot to enjoy the festivities including the intriguing man, Vlad, takes Diana full-attention. Summer is the bad-freaky girl of the group with her tell-it-like-it-is mouthpiece. Diana well-educated and scientific tactics that she lives by but has a freaky-side that unleashes that keeps her girls wondering and guessing. Besides the small-talk, I enjoyed when Summer saw something tasty in the midst, singing Ashford and Simpson classic, Solid as a Rock chorus with her own sensual twist to it.
Michelle J. Robinson unlocks a paranormal-mysterious erotic chick-lit that is beautiful, uniquely written that keeps you turning the pages, even though the chit-chatter and going through the motions with Belinda and her dear friends about careers, and men, and the astronomical murdering rate that’s taking place in New York. Moreover, the title is best suited for this kind of story—and loving it. Her writing style intertwines a sexual-slave persona to the next plateau with a creepy, eerie feel to it.
Be careful to have those lustful encounters and who you’re friends are, and listen to those who know when evil is staring you directly in the face. Yet Dante showed more affection and care with Belinda regardless of his devious mission like his mentee Rene. Is there a sequel to this book? I commend Michelle Janine Robinson to write an erotic thriller with a paranormal twist and continue to write more books like this as the erotic scenes are not only tasteful but exploration at its peak. I’m a fan of these types of stories and keep me locked in when another one hits the stands.

C Moorer also shares his calling on his life--not necessarily in a church or ministry, to become a doctor and share his testimony with the youth to those who are off track to get on track (is what spoke to my heart). "When God calls you, you will know it (it burns in your spirit and will not leave you until you set forth to do it), and you'll never forget it (p. 90, paraphrased)." We as believers, are called to 'make disciples of Jesus Christ' and he heard the call...now making it. God will tell us things, and we have to obey his command even if things look dim. He was told "it's over" and had to leave corporate America to pursue what God called him to do.
Favorite chapters are 11: Calling and 12: Envisioning your future (I'd call it Envision your Vision). I also was reminded of "the Pact" by three gentlemen who lived in crime-ridden polluted neighborhoods and all excelled and became doctors. I hoped to do this with three ladies who all want to go to law school, but seem to be going solo on this mission.
I'd highly recommend this book for junior/seniors in high school (graduates), college students, and engineering, business, and management students or graduates seeking a career in these particular majors would be beneficial for and those who are making life choices and need to hear someone's story of trials to triumphs.

The author uses cutesy verbiage, describes scandalous sexual scenes, and sets the sparks of the firecracker as I wait for it to pop. Yet, T.J. wants to see everything drop for a business-minded, entrepreneurial spirit woman like Lena and gets mouth-dropping info from her closest encounter, the secretary, Rolanda. Like to see who wins the pieces of the pie, each one wants a different piece: Rolanda with her shot at a sports mega-hero with zeros in her eyes; T.J. wants power and reign over company endeavors; as Lena just wants to hold her position and enjoy some sexual excitement with the clients' manager, Jason Johnson. Mixing business with pleasure, what's at the end of the treasure or will this leverage ever measure to pure satisfaction.
For once, pleased to read a storyline than just sex. Thank you, Elle.

Justice Lorenzo had a photographic memory and good with numbers for his line of dirty work. He’s linked to Loss Prevention for his Identity Theft crimes, but nothing can stick because no fingerprints, surveillance cameras recycle their tapes every few months and his crime happened several months back, and he’s on a roll without a trace. He’s learned the system after doing this crime for twenty-four years.
On the other hand, William Fortune points out some writing issues and choices that authors have to make because their publishers are not necessarily into a good story but one that is salable.
There are some parts of the story that are action-packed, brilliantly written and jovial, as we gather into William’s character—some parts are a tad bit slow but cleverly linking the pieces together with the fast-lane, action-thriller, identity theft criminal known as Justice (JL). We have good boy versus bad boy. We see a story weaved into a fictional story that holds some truth because his buddy feeds it to him. The creative side of the author, Rahiem Brooks, he intertwines the story within a story to see the real story of his characters as the reader waits for the mystery of the story to unleash.
