RIM's Review of
Caught Up By Jacob “JB” Burrage
It was interesting how one moment changed everything for successful author Jeremiah Blackwood; and how sitting at the bus stop would put his world into super orbit. That day he meet a woman named Shirley, and while taking her from her man wasn't the plan, neither was all the hell that opened up from her existence in his life. As their crazy alignment becomes a relationship; lies, secrets, and other people, have Jeremiah wishing he had driven the day he meet her.
They exchanged numbers, chatted for a few days, and then Shirley made her move. After all the complaining about her man, she just needed someone to love her. How could he deny her when she possessed one of the best bodies he had ever seen? They had sex until the morning, yet Jeremiah awakes to an empty bed. This would happen a lot after their late night rendezvous. Finally as any man would, he forces her to decide choose him or her man. What he gets in response shakes his core and she chooses neither instead make moves with a woman.
As Shirley leads Jeremiah through a on again, off again, relationship he sexes down a few willing females: including Shirley's new girlfriend. The repercussions of her unwillingness to make a man or woman her main attraction leads this cast through some life or death situations.
The hypocrisy of the double standard is displayed frequently. While socially acceptable for a man to sleep around, a woman does it she is called everything but a woman when displays the exact same behavior. The author does however slightly redeem themselves and makes mention for men to take heed that the game they have so longed played is now being perfected by women.
Love has no shape, color, race, and nowadays gender, yet can be disguised by lust. Lust is the physical need to have someone where love is the desire of another's affection. Lust drives the hearts of men to kill for a one night stand, when love knows there are no more one nights there is only every night.
My Rating: 4 ****stars
