Nate, Monica, Freddy and Lewis are all back in this third
installment of the Million Dollar series. Nate and Monica are
left in serious condition after Freddy shoots them and leaves
them for dead. Freddy adds more danger to the mix by
kidnapping little Nate and fleeing the state with him.
Meanwhile, Lewis is still waiting on his day in court and is
trying to get his daughter Layla back. In a bizarre twist,
Nate tries to get Lewis to help him get his son back. Will
Lewis be willing to help him? Nate's fiancé Daphanie has her
own issues to deal with when she finds out that she is
pregnant with Nate's child. But a nasty little secret may ruin
the perfect future that Daphanie has planned for herself and
Nate. Will everyone get what they want in the end?
The Million Dollar Demise is the perfect final
installment to The Million Dollar trilogy. RM Johnson once
again brought back the characters that we all love and hate.
This story picks up right where The Million Dollar
Deception leaves off with Freddy shooting Nate and Monica.
The non-stop drama continues throughout the whole book and
will keep you glued to the pages. Once again Nate is as
ruthless as ever in his various schemes to get what he wants.
Johnson did a good job with adding a plethora of shocking
twists to this story. Although this is supposed to be the
final installment of this series, you can clearly tell by the
end of this book that there could be possibly another
installment in the future. The Million Dollar Demise is
a true page-turner that doesn't disappoint.
Why Men Fear
Marriage is RM Johnson's first non-fiction book that
addresses the reluctance of why some men don't want to jump
the broom. At first glance, you may think that this book is
just another dry self-help book, but it's a lot more than
that. There is a lot of worthwhile information that women need
to take heed. Johnson addresses such topics as finding a man
that's ready for marriage, the different types of men, and
what to do once you find your soul mate.
Johnson pulls no punches in Why Men Fear Marriage, and
this material is presented in way that's not preachy or
demeaning to women. Johnson even shares his own experiences
and feelings about marriage. Why Men Fear Marriage is
an interesting take on a very timely subject.
Jana Collins has the
ideal life. She married Lawrence Collins, a well known and
very wealthy Hollywood lawyer. She lives in a beautiful home
in Hollywood Hills. She had everything going for her, except
for one thing...her husband didn't want anything to do with
her faith in God. Before marrying Lawrence, Jana was
completely focused on her religion. She was also going to
bible school. Lawrence knew his wife was the ultra
conservative and very spiritual. He was determined to mold her
into the ideal mate, and he would stop at nothing to get what
he wants.
In the beginning, Jana was eager to please her husband.
Over time, she soon realized that her and Lawrence were in
different places and one of the biggest issues is the church
he belonged to. His church would read the bible, but then
would twist things around a little. Some of the things they
would do were just too unspeakable, and Jana was not having
it. She soon realized they were not as compatible as she
thought.
When things were not working the way she thought, she tried
to do things his way. Friends and family were starting to see
a different Jana, and they were getting a little concerned.
Her sister Robyn and best friend Graciela were determined to
make Jana see what was really going on in her marriage and in
her life. Will she be too far gone for them to reach her, or
will her faith in God rescue her?
I have loved every book that I've read by Jacquelin Thomas.
After reading a couple of chapters, you kind of see where
The Ideal Wife was going.
It was becoming a little too predictable. Even though
you could tell what was going to happen next, I don't think
the reader would be disappointed. I always enjoy the detail
that Ms. Thomas puts in her books and how you know that God is
always in control. The Ideal Wife
is a quick read, and overall a very good book.

Deceased Jah's sidekick, Tech lives with the memories

than the life-threatening activity that he participates in.
While struggling with his allegiance to the streets, Animal

magnetic and has him questioning the only life he's ever
known.
K'wan has the hood tales and gangsta moves down to a

Section 8 encompasses the lifestyles and camaraderie of
the hood rats, past and present. The original scene with the

Media Mogul Abraham Martin was a very successful man. He had
money, a beautiful wife, and a son that he adored. But there
was something that was always tugging at his conscience...his
family that no one knew he had. He had fathered two other
children, Deborah and Michael, with Leah. When Abraham read a
letter from his mother, who had passed away, he knew it was
time to make things right. Abraham's son Isaac was a little
concerned about his new siblings. He was afraid that all he
had worked for to build with his father would be taken away
since there was other family members to consider. When Abraham
told his wife Saralyn, she was accepting of what had happened
in the past, but was not ready to accept his out-of-wedlock
children.
His daughter, Deborah, was ready and willing to accept the
past and try to build a relationship with her father. Michael
on the other hand was not. He was so angry with his dad that
his father had all this money, and they lived almost on the
poverty line. He was not as forgiving as his sister. He was
out for revenge. Nothing Abraham could say or do could change
Michael's mind about his intentions. When Isaac is hit with a
life-threatening illness, Michael thought he would capitalize
from it and gives his father an ultimatum. What will Abraham
sacrifice for the life of his son?
In the book, Sins of the Father, author Angela
Benson brought to life the biblical story of Abraham and put a
modern twist on it. The way she writes each character makes
them so realistic. In certain parts of the book, you can
envision the pain and suffering that the siblings went through
with not knowing each other and how upset they were with their
father. This book covers it all, jealousy, anger, forgiveness,
redemption, and joy. This book is a good read, and I
definitely recommend Sins of the Father.

you'll wonder who is stalking Edmund and why. All of the
elements of a good mystery were present in this story but
the execution of it was lacking. While it is revealed who is
stalking Edmund and why, there's no explanation for his past

Don't Say You Do If You Don't by Charles Burgess

Daniel Manders has an incredible love for God. He has

One." Friends, family, and members of his church have
known that God has something special in store for
Daniel. He was the one that everyone would go to
because they knew that he was going to do the right
thing. Because of this, his brothers sometimes
resented him.
At one point, Daniel gets into a situation that
only God can get him out of. When Daniel meets Melina,
his family starts to get a little concerned that she
is not good for him, and that his focus is only on her
and not his faith. Because of her presence, this
causes a lot of stress in the family. Will Daniel's
family come around and accept the man that God has
made him to be, or will they drift further apart?
The Son is a book that points out how
sometimes in families, one person carries the burden
for all. In this book, author M. Ann Ricks points out
how everyone thought Daniel was the one who was going
to follow Christ and be someone they could depend on.
But when he got into a situation of his own, who was
he to turn to? Yes, he turned to God, but no one in
his family could help him. When he meets someone that
he knows was sent by God, the family suddenly has a
problem with it. I enjoyed how the author put into
detail how his family was not sure if Melina was right
for him. From time to time, you know someone in your
immediate family or even distant relatives that has a
problem with someone's mate. The Son was a good
read, but it started to slow down in some parts of the
book and lose my interest. I continued with it because
I wanted to know if the main character Daniel would
follow the advice of his family or follow God.

Only Time Will Tell

Drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, promiscuity, jealousy,
