ok at first I would give this story 4 stars, but after a while it was drawn out, felt too long! After a while, it got boring band repetitive to me. I couldn't tell you how many times Dre said “you are something else girl", or how many times Bree “rolled her eyes to the ceiling“.

Some women do not want to be a drama magnet but somehow it seems to whisper their names, despite the consequences that are sure to follow. With all honesty, the main character really wants to stay clear of any trouble.
A single mother of two, with family support for her children; a job that pays the bills -though not glamorous, Breana "Bree" Michaels does the exact opposite of tossing her mantra "Drama Free Bree" under the mattress. It is with whom she lies down with on that mattress that shows though people are human and make mistakes, we often times choose our own paths to destruction.
Temptation is very thick throughout the novel and so are suspicions. What I really enjoyed about this novel is that I was able to feel the suspense page after page. I found myself talking to Bree to let her know that she did not need someone else's man in her life, because in the end, that person would never be completely hers. There were tremendous lessons to be learned and Bree had some serious soul searching and growing
up to do. The romance scenes were very passionate and laced with lust between Bree and Dré, with whom she sneaks around. The people who were close to her were extremely tired of Bree placing the most important things in her life on the line over a man, but Bree simply could not see past their advice. All she sees is a man who told her he loved her
and who had his own demons to fight.
I recommend this novel for all the women, particularly in the African-American community, for two reasons. One, women need to understand that when we go into a relationship with our eyes closed, the other person has some undisclosed issues as well.
Two, loving and forgiving yourself first, despite your past, is a must to have someone love you back with all good intentions. Thanks to the author for this excellent read.

I have been trying to get to the end. I am glad that is over. The storyline is real in that there are many men and women who live their lives this way. I was shouting the whole time. I was shaking head. I was hoping for a different ending in that Bree would snap out of it and come to her senses. I was hoping for Dre to come correct but he blew it for me real fast. And Neecy, she really ticked me off. This was a hard one for me to finish but glad I did. I have book 2, not sure when or if I will dive back in.

Before I read this book, I read the reviews. I thought I was about to read a good, juicy book but that really was not the case. my review may be biased because I am a married woman. Here it goes.

Bree Michaels has experienced heartbreak many times in her life. After her latest episode, she decides she will move to Tuckett, Florida to be around family and friends. She is determined to become "Drama Free Bree". All is well until she starts secretly seeing her neighbors husband Dre.

Dre tells Bree that he is unhappily married to his wife Neecy. If it wasn't for the kids he would've divorced Neecy a long time ago. Isn't this what all married men tell to women who they want as a mistress? He also tells Bree that she is the kind of woman he wants to "sport" on his arm, not have as a part of his life, but someone who he can use as a trophy and show off to everyone. Neecy finds out about this budding romance and causes hell. After going through numerous drama-filled situations with Neecy and Dre, Bree and Dre are finally together, but it will not be for long if Neecy has anything to do about it.

Bree truly believes that Dre is her soul mate. She is determined not to let Neecy win back Dre. Because of this, she does some very questionable things that makes me shake my head at her stupidity. After this yo-yo drama (Dre with Bree, Dre with Neecy, Dre lying to Bree, Dree lying to Neecy, fights, drug abuse, domestic violence, etc.) Bree finally gets some sense and wise up and leaves! Best decision she made throughout the whole book.

The author wrote two weak ass female characters. I was ashamed of both of their actions throughout the book. This book shouldn't have been as long as it was. The dialogue was repeated page after page, Bree wants to know what did Neecy say to Dre. Why? Play your role Bree as a mistress.

Would I recommend the book, I don't know. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good. It was a reminder that there really are stupid women like Bree and Neecy in this world.

"Keep your husband at home I don't want him" "Look your married I don't do those types of things" Just from these words spoken from the book "Another Woman's Husband" you would think this man would step off, but no, no, no not in this drama filled book. This book has so much drama in it, it would make you despise men forever. There are two main reasons why I love this book. One is that it's a page turner filled with endless drama, and the second is that it gives women as well as men a reality check.

Anybody with at least a high school dipolma would understand that a married man is OFF-LIMITS. I mean come on why mess up a happy home? But let Breana tell it (a single mother raising two spoiled kids) she's in desperate need of a compainion, and what a better one than married neighbor Andre. This is offically the start of never ending drama. During the book she faces many hardships about sleeping with her married neighbor by no other than his WIFE. Yup! I said it his WIFE! She is soon forced to move away from her home and move on without her married boyfriend. Did the drama end there? NO!! She soon feels like she can't be without Andre and he soon comes crawling back to her front door with more drama than ever. Breana deals with fights, heart-aches, all the while dealing with two children who are instantly threaten to be taken away from her. WOW!! Isn't this a mess!

This book gives women and men a deep reality check to stay away from a happy home and stay away

We all know women like this...a mother a sister a cousin or maybe it's you. In Another Woman's husband, we me Bree the woman who starts an affair with her married man and that is not even the stupid part.

This was a very frustrating book but an all to frequent occurrence. Every time it seemed that Bree saw the light and was willing to move on, she would allow Dre to pull her back. She was by his side and listened to every lie that he told his wife in order to be with her but still thought that he as telling her the 100% truth. All of the typical things that happen when a man is cheating- sugar in the tank, broken windows and yes even *67 and call forwarding happened. But in all this, you could not fault the man-- the women were stupid.

I was very disappointed when Bree met with Denise to apologize and bed forgiveness and then still kept her relationship with Dre. And what really for me upset was that after 99% of the Dre/Bree/Denise/Chante mess we only got 1% of Bree finally moving on with her life and being happily engaged to her own man.

I don't know if I would recommend this book other than to talk about the craziness of this with my friends.

When Bree Michaels a single mother of two meets Dre, her married next door neighbor things for her seem to turn around dramatically. Not only does she fall in love with this married man but she also believes that he'll leave his wife and kids for her. Bree pissed me off through out this entire book. The choices that she made were just KraZy. For one she's scary as hell, and she believes everything Dre tells her. I truly believed that he loved her but he just comes with too much baggage and HE'S MARRIED. Just when I thought that she was moving on and over him she would back track and do it all over again. No drama Bree was full of drama, but she asked for it. This is definitely a must read. The only thing that i didn't like was that some parts were very repetitive, but overall a good read.

I really hate giving bad reviews on someones work but I'm going to be totally honest.This is someone's work and I hope I don't hurt their feeling but I call it the way I read them.

This book was the longest boring book that I ever read in my life. I had to put the book down so many times that I got mad because I love to read and this book pissed me off all across the board. The chick Bree was so stupid from all sense of being stupid. I couldn't stand her. Bree didn't know what she wanted and why she wanted them. You are never suppose to mess with someone's husband no matter what he tells you. He just wants what he can get and this dumb chick fell for it. I'm so sorry to have to say this. This book was a waste of my time and energy. I'm giving this book 2 stars. I will not be reading part 2 at all.

This was a great read from Angel Mechelle. Bree moved to Florida to be 'drama free Bree', however that was not the case. Once Dre enters Bree's life it is a non stop rollercoaster ride that seems to never stop. In this story lines are being crossed and it's filled with drama. This is also a relatable story whether it can be directly related you or someone you know. Look forward to reading the sequel.

I thought the concept of the book was a good one, but the execution was lacking a little bit. I thought it was way too long. I agree with the others about the editing. At one point in the book Bree yelled "Why am I Angel Mechelle never good enough?" I was like huh? That really caught me off guard.
Even with these things I would read more from Angel Mechelle.

Pretty good book

How far will Bree go to prove her love for Dre?
She sure enough was addicted to his loving.
She must have had some really serious self esteem , to put up with getting her butt whipped by Dre's wife time after time!
Poor Neecy just kept on taking Dre back time after time!
Even when he stepped out on her and got a crackhead pregnant not once but twice!
Neecy just kept taking Dre's trifling dump back!

Your wife..........

I lost count of how many times Bree said your wife before she realized he is actually married. Damn! I had to do labored breathing techniques reading this book. I kept wishing this was one of those authors that doesn't mind killing off main characters😂😂😂. Married men willing to keep leaving his family is such a turn off.

Oh no not my husband

Meet Breana Nicole Micheals she is a sexy single mother of two doing what she has to, to hold her family down. She has gotten herself into some messy relationships and has decided to move Tuckett, Fl to get her mind right and get the support of her family. After being in Fl for a yr she gets some unwanted attention from her sexy neighbor Andre Edwards bka Dre who is tall like Kobe, thick like Labron James and a look alike for the rapper The Game right down to the tattoos The Game has. Sounds sexy doesn’t he, so you ask what is the problem? The problem is he is very married to Neecy for almost 8 yrs and the couple has two children together. Now when I say unwanted I mean she is not into married guys, hell she wants to get married herself. She is lonely and misses the male companionship. Bree wants to feel beautiful, wants to feel like a woman. Dre taking advantage of the situation woos her into a relationship with him. In a New York minute Bree’s life goes from drama free to way too much drama. Bree goes from the cool person with morals to every woman’s worst nightmare.

Dre and Neecy have the perfect marriage to outsiders. Dre works and takes care of home like a man should. Then Neecy gets a whiff that things aint what they seem between her husband and the neighbor she has been friendly to. Neecy puts her detective skills to work. Neecy is not going out without a fight. She stands firm on the notion - you will not get my husband without a fight. Man the drama is unbelievable and intense! Dre is so slick I think he showered daily in oil. The way these two women both refused to let him go had me cheering and calling them stupid idiots in the next breath lol. You are going to have to read the book to get all your questions answered like who wins Dre, and how much drama can these people withstand.

Author Angel Mechelle pens a hood novel that women can identify with at one time or another whether the wife or the other woman. The emotions she reveals in the novel are classic. Makes me wonder who was she in the book? Another Woman’s Husband was really a change of pace, as I have never read a book from the other woman’s viewpoint, well one who never wanted to be the other woman anyway. Angel painted a vivid picture; I felt like I was a fly on the wall. The only draw back I had with the book was the ending seems rushed. While she closed the story and didn’t leave the reader hanging, she didn’t spend a lot of time explaining like she did in the early part of the book. I am looking forward to reading more of her work in the near future.

Bree Michaels moved to Tuckett, Florida to get a fresh start. Drained from failed relationships, Bree just wants to leave the drama behind. But she does exactly the opposite when she begins an illicit affair with her married next door neighbor, Dre. Andre Edwards is a doting father, an excellent provider for his stay-at-home wife and sexy as hell. He immediately caught Bree's eye on sight but she backed off upon learning that he was married. Dre, however, had no intentions of backing off.

Although Bree was determined not to become Dre's jump off, she eventually morphs into something much worse; Dre's mistress. A very naïve mistress at that; believing every one of Dre's tired lines about never loving his wife, filing for divorce or even them having a future together. But Bree's future begins to look very bleak once Dre's wife Neecy starts suspecting that she's creeping with her husband. Especially when Dre moves out and into Bree's waiting arms. Neecy is unwilling to give Dre up without a fight and unfortunately Bree is a lover and definitely not a fighter, while Neecy proves to be a heavy weight champion!

The lengths that both women go through to hold on to Dre and the drama that ensues will keep readers quickly flipping the pages. Readers will find plenty of "Oh Hell to the No" moments throughout the book. Author Angel Mechelle does an excellent job sucking readers into Bree and Neecy's battle to lay claim to Dre's heart. That is if you really believe after reading the book that Dre actually has a heart.

What did you like best about this book?
The drama! Neecy and Bree's pursuit of Dre bordered on obsession but yet it still made for an excellent read. Neecy had way more invested in Dre but Bree risked so much just being with Dre that she couldn't bear for their relationship to fail either.

What did you dislike about the book?
There were some editing issues, a character that was initially introduced as a niece turns into just a friend by the end of the book.

How can the author improve thee book?
Aside from the editing issue, Dre should have had more of a voice in the book. Initially it felt as if Dre was really torn between Bree and his family but by the end of the book he spiraled into just another male character that couldn't control his libido.

Inconceivable

`Another Woman's Husband' details the life of Bree Michaels, a young woman who has recently moved to Florida looking for a fresh start with her two young children. A magnet to drama, Bree is determined to remain drama free. Neecy, her neighbor, is trying to befriend her, but Bree is not at all interested in hanging out. But it becomes a real issue when Dre, Neecy's husband, starts shooting Bree the sexy looks. What happens when loneliness, secrecy and an answered phone become a pattern? Smells like a fresh batch of drama in the mix. Will Bree be able to avoid the obvious?

Bree's life takes a noticeable plunge as her status changes from single to mistress. While friends and family try to guide Bree away from the imminent nonsense, she appears comfortable as she rolls full steam ahead into the recklessness with `Another Woman's Husband.'

Angel Mechelle pens a tale that is overdosed with stupidity. Apparently that's the chord the author is looking to strike as the consistent tug of war between wife and mistress becomes tiring as they are both hell bent with the obsession that they share for Dre. It's easy to understand Neecy's stake as Dre is her husband and the father of her children. But Bree's heart appears to be entangled as they've made an unconventional family themselves. If you thought this was messy, sprinkle in the probability of another baby mama and the drama really starts to sizzle when Dre's hankering for weed goes to the next extreme. Has Bree maxed out on her drama meter yet?

The editing was atrocious. In a few cases I was forced to backtrack because what was being said made absolutely no sense whatsoever! Chante's character starts off as Neecy's niece but ends up as just a friend. The restraining order becomes an issue after he's lived with her and moved out again. And some sentences literally gave me a headache as I reread them in an attempt to understand what the author was saying. While I know other readers will easily disregard this, however, I couldn't.

Angel Mechelle, you truly have a notion for the D-R-A-M-A! I am looking forward to future releases.

Ok first of all I'd like to say that I'm raising my standards as to what I rate a Kindle book from this day forward. Call it a possible New Years Resolution, I guess, but there are just too many great authors, and even more average authors yet thankfully I have not read that many terrible authors, at least from my Kindle purchases.
The book is about a woman(Bree) w/ 2 kids who lives in a building complex.Her neighbor (Dre) begins an affair with her and as the is often the case, his wife (Neecy) finds out. What happens after that is the wife wants him back but of course he wants to have his cake and eat it too and even wants a glass of milk on the side because once a cheater always a cheater.
Before long the story increases with drama and Dre's real motivations are obvious and his true colors begin begin to show as everyone involved is affected in one way or another such as often the case where there is infidelity and children involved. Not gonna reveal any more but this is a must read.You won't be disappointed
That being said I thought this book was really,really good. I noticed the mixed reviews but in my opinion it was really a page turner. In fact this is an author I will be keeping my sights on. Angel Michelle you did a wonderful job. Keep up the good work. I will be looking out for your next release.

Author and Recommend:

Angel Mechelle did a good job. She takes her time to writing this book. Even though, Another Woman's Husband is a difficult book to read for everyone and myself because it is dealing with a lot of drama. If you haven't read this book, Another Woman's Husband is a good book. I learned a lot from this book.

If you're single, please don't mess with a married man because you don't want to ended up like Bree. Bree is a young and single mother but she is a dumb person. She is a difficult person because she can't get enough with a married man. Bree should focus on herself and her children. I will continue to pray for her dumb ass. I understand what Neecy reaction about Bree and Dre. Dre is a liar and cheated bastard. Both of them are wrong and selfish motherfucka. If I was Neecy's situation, I will cut him off and filed divorce. I will not be friend with Bree and I don't trust because she is sneaky shit.

So far, I enjoyed reading this book. I like the concept and vibe. Another Woman's Husband is a page turner. Each of characters are mess but there are lot of drama. Dre & Bree, Dre & Neecy and Dre and Chantel. This is too much drama. Each of them need a help and get their act together.

I am looking forward to part 2 of Another Woman's Husband by Angel Mechelle. I give this book and author a five stars.

Good Job!

Another Woman's Husband: All I can say is DRAMA, DRAMA, and much more DRAMA!!! It started off as a good, interesting read. Bree seemed like she had it together as a single mother. She just didn't make wise decisions when she decided to get involved with Dre. I'm still asking myself what did she have to gain by getting involved with Dre, especially since he was married to her so called friend. I knew from the start that Dre wasn't going to be good news.

The story held my attention, easily. I was waiting for the end though. It seems that the story started to drag on and on. One thing that I didn't get at all was towards the end of the book, Bree said something like, "why am I not enough?, Why am I, Angel Mechelle never enough?" I was thinking that's the first time in the entire book that I've seen the name Angel Mechelle. I thought Angel was the author's name, not the main character, Bree's name. I was wondering where that came from, maybe I missed something. Other than that, it was a decent enough read. It was certainly entertaining. There was never, ever a dull moment in this book.

She should have known better

This review is a combination. When I first started reading this book I have to say I was a bit bored until I got further into it.

So trying not to give the meat if t the book away. Bree should have known better than to get involved with Dre from jump. I don't care what he says how good the d*ck is or was there is no reason that I as a woman will sacrifice my happiness by dealing with someone else's man.

Not being able to be seen in public, sneaking around to be with him. That's just too much for me.

Them in book 2 she has a great mean who live we her and willing to give her the world. She put this through hell just to get left again. It took her to experience a severe tragedy to make her open her eyes to her reality.

5 Stars

The author did an amazing job at wrong this book. She keeps you glued to your seat not wanting to put the book down. Both parts were a absolutely amazing.

" Another Woman's Husband" by Angel Mechelle was a good read! It is the story of Bree Micheals who has vowed to be " drama free' after having her heart broke a few times in her past. Drama finds her though, when she begins an adulterous affair with her neighbor's husband , Dre.This sizzling page turner was filled with drama from page one. Bree's life quickly downspirals as she fights to gain Dre's love even thoough he is married with kids.
This book was very good. I gave it 4 stars because of a few editing issues as well as indiscrepancies.The biggest being: Chantel was Neecy's niece at one point but then turned into her friend. I really enjoyed this read and hope to read more from Ms. Mechelle in the future.

This book was ok. I think it would have been better if it weren't so unnecessarily long. The story was good, but I found it to drag on with repetitious wording. I found myself wishing the book was over in the middle because of the same story over and over again, but then became a page turner rushing to find out what decision Bree would make. Over all it was an ok book and I would recommend if you like drama and don't mind reading long winded pages with good action in between.

Even though this was not a great book, I would give another try another one of the authors books.

I've been waiting a long time to read this book because i have met the author "via" myspace when i was going there. The wait was not worth it. It a good book, but two things. one, the story was predictable. You knew that she was being played from the get-go. She knew she was the other woman from the beginning and she was surprised that she wasn't number one. Two, the story was like a long string where you just waiting and keep waiting until it was over.

Another Woman's Husband will have you wanting to smack the main character Bree, and at the same time hoping all will be well with her. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next in the life of Ms.Bree. The ending was a wonderful surprise and I know there is more to come.

This story took me on a ride of emotions. Bree was smart, talented and educated but unfortunately it is something about a man and his ability to pull a woman's nature that made it painful for me to see her continue in such a dysfunctional relationship.

Even with sound advice, I guess, she had to come to the realization that she had to be the one to make the decision - once and for all.
