If this isn't a page turner I don't know what is !!!!!!!! I couldn't put the book down. Jade's Dilemma is not only a wonderful love story but it is a wonderful motivational book. This book reminds you that if you don't put GOD first before you do anything, things will not work out for you.

In "Jade's Dilemma" Jade learn about GOD's forgiveness. When you think you have done everything wrong and don't deserve another chance, remember that GOD is a forgiving GOD and everyone deserves a second chance.

Reign will teach you through Jade's story that even the biggest sinner deserves a second chance. You as a person should never be so hard on yourself. We are all human and we make mistakes but the key is to learn from them and not repeat them and do the same mistake over and over.

In this book, Jade feels that everything she has done in her life has come back to haunt her. There were secrets that she was too ashamed to say. And to prevent from hurting anyone she thought the past is better left forgotten. Until someone forces her to remember.

Title:A Life to Remember
Author:Azarel
C&B; Price: $12.00

5 stars
This is an interesting book. 'A Life to Remember' is a page turner. As I was reading this book, all I kept wondering is what was going to happen. This book shows you that a criminal lifestyle is not beyond anyone's reach. Even a straight and narrow brother can get mixed up in some shady business. Azarel tells the story of what will happen when a well-educated man with a good paying job gets mixed up with an illegal occupation.

Divine Jones and friend Niko have relocated to their new home at Dundridge State Facility. They are sentenced to serve some time due to his 'get rich quick' scheme. During his first five years at Dundridge, Divine professed to be an innocent man and was convinced his lawyer had a way to set him free. When Divine's plan is found out, he becomes the most wanted on Block C.

During his time at Dundridge, he realizes he should have just done his time like a man. Instead, Divine tries to do everything he can to get away with the crime he has committed, even if it means he loses friends in the process.

'A Life to Remember' is a novel that tells you about the corruption which goes on in prisons. This can be used as an eye opener and instill fear in those who have considered straying from the straight and narrow path of life. I recommend this book to everyone, especially our young people, in hope that they can learn from others misfortunes.

Title:Diary of a Crack Addict's Wife
Author:Dr. Cynthia Hunter
C&B; Price: $10.00

5 stars
This is an awesome book. Cynthia D. Hunter has blessed me with the gift of understanding. There have been stories told where woman will stay with their mate regardless of the abuse she endures while in the relationship. I always wondered why. I would be one of the first to say that could never happen to me. However, after reading this book, I now understand why a woman might feel she has to stay and can only pray to GOD I?m not subjected to going through something like that.

When Cynthia, a.k.a Cee, met Mark, the last thing she imagined was that he could be a violent man. Taking the time to get to know him, she found herself falling in love with him. He was caring and respectful toward her, and she really loved the way he treated her son Terry. Mark seemed to be the perfect family man, or so Cee thought.

In a diary form, Ms. Hunter tells us of her everyday struggle living with a man whom is addicted to crack cocaine. She shares the horrifying stories of the day by day abuse that she received from the man she loved and even got pregnant for. When things got really bad, Cee had to decide if staying with Mark was really worth the possibility of him harming her son or even worse, her losing her life.

In the same story, Ms. Hunter shares her feelings about her relationship with Mark. Now that she is no longer dealing with this problem and can see things clearly, Ms. Hunter is using her story to try and help others who may be going through the same thing.

I respect Ms. Hunter for being brave and telling the world her story. I recommend this book to everyone. This may be just the encouragement an individual needs to get out of a similar relationship or prevent them from entering into one. Ms. Hunter, I want to thank you for helping others by sharing your story.

Title:Small Packages
Author: Sydney Molare
C&B; Price: $10.00

Wow, Zhane look out! Sydney Molare�s 'Small Packages' is an excellent book. I love the fact that it�s a story within a story. I think this is an excellent way to have a book club. Having a book club like this you will get to learn a lot about the people you surround yourself with. You will also learn from other member�s experiences.

Trina, Zariah, Travesteen and Cherise are the members of Somebody Holla book club. These women get together once a month to read a book and discuss how parts of the book relate to their own lives. Each one learns something new about the other and in the same time they learn something new about themselves.

This is definitely a book club must read! If you think your close friends now, wait till you read this book. You guys will be even closer by the time you finish the book. For those of you, who are not part of a book club, get ready to call a friend to discuss this book.

Ms. Sydney Molare thanks, I really enjoyed this book. What�s next?

ENJOY!

Title:In The Name Of Love
Author:Ms. Sammie Ward
C&B; Price: $15.00

Dr. Shari Thomas can do it all. She runs a successful medical practice, raises a young son, and has captured the eye of a Cardiologist named Kevin Mason. Everything seems to be going well........until the return of her ex-college sweetheart, Derrick Rawlings.

Since Derrick's return, the relationship between Shari and Kevin begin to go through twist and turns. Kevin tries to do everything in his power to keep Shari interested in him. When it seems to be useless, Kevin gets help that can be deadly to Shari.

This is a love story that I really liked. There are not too many stories that have to deal with single mothers. Especially being a single educated black mother with a great career.

Ms. Sammie Ward story shows that True Love can be so strong that nothing can break through it. No matter how many years it's been apart. True Love will always win.

Title:Nothing Like Friends
Author:Shannon Davis
C&B; Price: $14.00

This book is nothing but action! "Nothing Like Friends" starts with drama, continues with drama and ends with drama. This is the kind of book I like to call an All Nighter. It will keep you up wanting to find out what else is going to happen.

In life there are going to be experience that will put any relationship to the test. Through all the drama that goes on these women learn that no one's friendship should be taken for granted.

I recommend this book to everyone but I highly recommend it for a bookclub. This is one of those kinds of books that you feel you have to discuss with your friends. Shannon Davis' story tells us all that you have to be very careful to who you can call a friend.

Enjoy!
