AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME WITH THIS ONE........

DJ may have completely outdone himself with his latest novel, which centers around one man and the two women in his life. For David, life is going well; he is a successful author and he is engaged to be married to the beautiful, adoring Janelle. David is happy....or so he thinks. Fate is determined to throw a monkey wrench into his future plans, in the form of first love Jocelyn, who he runs into while in Philadelphia for a booksigning. Sparks fly, the feelings are still there, and both find themselves wondering...what if? The two exchange email addresses, and part ways. But David cannot get Jocelyn out of his mind...and sends her an email confessing his feelings. Unhappily married, Jocelyn finds herself yearning for David also...and confesses the same. Soon, the two arrange to meet in Baltimore over a weekend, to spend some time together, and talk.....and thus a love affair is born. But what of Janelle, and the unconditional love that David has with her? And what about Eric, seemingly the perfect husband? It doesn't take long for deception and betrayal to catch up to the secret lovers....and the drama that unfolds is nothing short of gut-wrenching. When it is all said and done, readers are left to ponder...can we ever recapture what was lost? Certainly, David and Jocelyn face some difficult choices in this tale..... DJ has recaptured the magic that I found while reading The Womanizers in this novel...it is filled with drama, heartache, and lessons to be learned. Very enjoyable read. DYB

Thrill-a-licious!!!!

First let me say if you havn't read ANY of Dwayne Joseph's novels you are truly missing out. There are few author who can turn out one good book after another, DSJ you have truly have a "writing mojo". This is a fast paced extremely well written book that will only leave you wanting for more. E. Lynn, Eric Pete, Travis Hunter better watch out because this brotha has proven to competion for the big boys!...

You gotta get this book!!

As an avid reader, it is a refreshing change to read a book that is not just a street novel, filled with hookers and whores, pimps and ho's, drug dealers and drug addicts. Sometimes too much drama can be predictable!! But D. Joseph provides a different approach to good reading--an actual story line, with real characters, real situations and real consequences. His previous novels provided a basis for his eloquent and detailed writing style - which made me grab this book from the shelf in the store. I absolutely loved this book, and his previous ones - 'Never Say Never' and 'The Womanizers' will have you saying 'Oh, no he didn't!!! and 'That's what that heifer gets!!' in response to the sometimes silly actions of the characters. You know, that girlfriend of yours that messes up a good thing at home trying to relive the past with an old flame or that guy who just can't get enough--until he finds the one who puts it on him!!! Keep in mind, these are just fictional books based with fictional characters-that have real issues and situations that could happen to the average Joe/Joe-Anna in any part of the world. I related to many characters in each book, and you will too. Pick it up, read it, tell a friend, and have that friend tell another friend just how good Joseph's books are. Trust me..you will not be disappointed..........
