Readers In Motion's Review of 

My Woman His Wife 3 by Anna J 

In the third installment of the My Woman, His Wife series, we revisit the lives of Monica, James, and Jazz; A family that has been turn upside down because of the threesome several years ago. An awful car accident has now placed a dent in a family that was finally getting about on its feet after a threesome gone bad. The repercussions of this threesome will be brought to light as the accident reveals more than just physical wounds. 

While Jazz is in a coma, one of the twins needs a blood transfusion to save his life. But something is terribly wrong. Can James assist with the saving of his son’s life or will something or someone stand in the way?

Monica is back and very concerned about the son that she left behind. The checks are not being cashed, the mail is being forwarded, and now the phone calls are not being answered. She travels back home to figure out what is happening; in the process she must deal with the threat of someone trying to kill her. Will Monica get her questions answered about her son’s whereabouts? Who wants Monica dead and why?

Anna J has done it again. The rollercoaster ride starts from page one. The greatest plus with this novel is that you don’t not actually have to read the first two installments to understand this one. Enough background information is given so the reader can process the book. I can’t wait until the next novel is ready.

Rated 5 stars

RIM's Review of Let Joy Arise by Ashea Goldson

Let Joy Arise by Ashea Goldson

Never let anything in your past affect what God has for your future.

Taylor Carter has not always been a Christian all her life. Before Taylor found God she was in a very serious car accident that killed the married man that she was involved with and also took away her ability to walk. After all that was said and done with this life altering event, Taylor still was able to see her way through.

Fast forward to the present; Taylor is now the owner of Push It Fitness center and married to Keith Bryant.  Of course like many say, you cannot be a child of God and not have trials. The wife of the man that was killed in the accident that she was involved in is back to get Taylor. She has a serious case of a woman scorned syndrome. Added to the chaos, Taylor has to deal with the house guest from hell named Paul who is the good friend of Keith, and may hold the key to a painful past that he has hidden from his wife.

Will Taylor and Keith’s marriage survive all trails and tribulations? Will Taylor continue to support her husband once his secret past comes to light?

For a reviewer that is not a fan of Christian fiction I will say that I thoroughly enjoy this book. It was just enough religion to know that is Christian fiction but enough that it is not thrown in the reader’s face. The characters in this novel are those that the reader can relate to, from the wild roommate to the holy sister-in-law. For this to be a debut novel she knocks this one out the ballpark. Yes, I do see the best is yet to come.

 

Rating 5 stars.

RIM's Review of A Marriage of Convenience by Jewel Amethyst

RIM's Review of

A Marriage of Convenience by Jewel Amethyst  

When one door closes a window opens, or so the cliché says.

Tamara is jilted at the altar and financially taken for everything she has by a con artist. When the bills are due and she is unemployed; Tamara is looking for the window. Her best friend, Jordan, presents her with a request that will help her financially; yet the requirement is she marry a perfect stranger. When, to marry or lose everything, become her choices, Tamara takes the man and his money.  Yet what if the sham that they portray became real?

Tamara is a full figured beauty that doesn’t know she is beautiful. She is always comparing herself to her society approved thinner cousins as the standard of true beauty. Adding in straight hair or hair weaves and color contacts she again errantly thinks are necessary to prove one’s beauty. In accepting the attention and compliments of her husband, Tamara learns that her natural, confident self is all the beauty she needs.

Kwabena is a handsome accomplished scientist. He has many degrees and awards to back his intelligence up; however, he conveys himself to Tamara as just another man from Ghana. He never lets on about his company, his accomplishments, or even his ability to speak several other languages. Kwabena like Tamara has his own hidden issues; including running from an arranged marriage and an evil ex fiancé that wants him back.

Through all the twists and turns of this relationship, one is taken for a multicultural experience. The reader will learn about Jamaican, Ghanaian, and African foods, clothing, history and even a few words. The interaction between the American family and Ghanaian family shows that no matter the language, love and respect is universal.  As this couple faces their pasts collectively, they must also look to there future to see if once their arrangement is fulfilled will they remain a couple? Can what was supposed to be a temporary fix be something permanent?

My Rating: 5*****

RIM's Reviews Dangerous Pleasures by Fiona Zedde

Dangerous Pleasures by Fiona Zedde

  

Two friends who are brought together by schoolyard drama are forever inseparable. Mayson met Renee when her family moved from Jamaica to Dana Point, when the other kids picked on her for her accent Renee defended her; and for the rest of their lives they would defend each other. Renee would need defending for her choice to end her marriage of too many changes. Her ex-husband Linc always trying to change her to what he wants versus who she really is and with Mayson being a lesbian she needs to be defended from her ex flings that sometimes want more than a fling.

Renee is tired of being sweet, innocent, a damsel in distress Renee. After the divorce, she no longer sees the benefits of a traditional relationship other than the sex. Since there is nothing else she feels like she can control other than her sex partner she decides to do something for herself. So after much deliberation and some ill advice from Mayson, Renee signs up for an online dating site and finds someone to her liking and begins to get her groove back.

Mayson is never in a rut as far as sex goes; anytime she needs a fix she thumbs through her black book and finds someone to scratch the itch. However she has one rule; she does not have any desire to be a straight woman’s experiment into the art of lesbian sex.  As Mayson avoids relationships for booty calls, she finds herself in a ticklish position; she is now the center of a straight woman’s fantasies, which of course goes against her rule. Mayson soon realizes that fantasies can turn deadly.

Here we see love has no gender, has no hurt and sometimes has no sense of time. As each woman is forced to take off the blindfold, no matter the material it is made of, and see each other and herself for what they are. Decisions that can not be made by society’s standards or even the ones that can be dictated by corporate America, but from a loving heart. The heart wants what the heart wants and sometimes the easiest decision is the one that’s right in front of you.

My Rating 5*****
