Love's Game
Harold L. Turley II opens a revealing window into the male African American psyche in this captivating first novel about sex, relationships, marriage, and monogamy.
Terry, Jeff, and Tyrelle manage a nightclub together, where the three cousins have their pick of any woman they desire. Terry is a former college basketball star married to Tracy—and cheating on her with Angie. But meaningless affairs are starting to leave Terry feeling hollow inside. He decides it's time to clean up his act...only to discover that it's too late.
A lifetime player, Jeff has finally realized that he's ready to settle down with his current girlfriend. The problem is, he's feeling guilty about all the times he was unfaithful to her. Clearing his conscience would give him a clean slate, but will it cost him the most important relationship in his life?
As for Ty, he's caught between a rock and a hard he loves his freedom but at the same time doesn't want to lose his girlfriend. And his lover is about to drop a bombshell that will reverberate across every area of his life.
Funny, sensuous, and dead-on target when it comes to the games lovers play, Love's Game tells what happens when the tables are turned and the stakes are raised.

Playa 101
LOVE'S GAME written by Harold L. Turley II tells the story of three male cousins, Terry, Jeff and Tyrelle, playas in the game, unwilling to pass off their playa cards. With so much on the line, is there ever a time to stop playing?
Terry, the older of the cousins, who is married with a son, has allowed many women to put his marriage asunder. Can it finally be, after years of cheating on his wife, Terry feels a twinge of guilt?
Jeff appears to be drowning in a rut with his live in girl, Chelle. Should he or shouldn't he take it to the next step? Does the next step include Jeff coming clean with Chelle about his part-time activities?
Tyrelle's the worst of the worst. While he has Jodi, a doctor, who loves him, commitment and him don't get along too well. Karma appears to be knocking on the door. Is Tyrelle ready to face the error of his ways?
I'd purchased LOVE'S GAME after reading CONFESSIONS OF A LONELY SOUL. I truly enjoyed the personalities of each character, as well as the growth. LOVE'S GAME is like the gentler side to playas. Recommend it and would read other books written by this author.
