My Sisters Fruit = forbidden...

Originally reviewed December 28, 2009 In My Sister's Ex, Rachel Merrell goes into a state of shock when she finds out that her ex-fiance, Jeffrey Williams, has started dating her sister Marlene Draper. Rachel broke off her engagement with Jeff thinking that one day they would possibly reunite when she was ready, but when Jeff started seeing Marlene it was pretty clear that day would never come without far too many complications. Plus sized Marlene comes off as heartless and crude but underneath all of her false confidence is a girl dealing with some esteem issues. Why would she think it's okay to flaunt around with her sister's man? Because she's starved for attention among other things. Her issues with her sister go way back to childhood and sharing her father Blinky with Rachel. Jeff takes the cake with his antics of seemingly being in love with Rachel while going through the motions with Marlene. He is a womanizer and quite the drama king himself and the tangled web he's weaving could have a dangerous outcome. Cydney has done it again in My Sister's Ex with more drama than the pages can hold. I'm shaking my head and asking the question to women who have gone there with a friend's or relative's man, "Are you your sister's keeper?" Better yet, don't answer that question...just read the book! Recommended reading by ShaniReviews Reviewed by Shani Greene-Dowdell, Author of KKeepin' It Tightand Secrets of a Kept Woman (Volume 1)

Family - Got to Love Them

Thus far I've read all of Cydney Rax's books. My Sister's Ex doesn't disappoint. There were many "oh no she didn't" moments in the book that will have you eagerly turning the page. Rachel & Marlene have a dysfunctional sister relationship but through it all they love each other. The love for one man, Jeffrey, however threatens to destroy their relationship. I don't want to spoil the book but I can say I was satisfied with the ending.

No Man's Land

Half sisters Rachel Merrell and Marlene Draper have a lot in common. They have the same father, share the same apartment and now, they apparently share the same man. Jeffrey Williams dated Rachel and eventually asked her to marry him. But Rachel wasn't feeling the marriage thing, so she turns down the marriage proposal and ends the relationship. Not to be outdone by Rachel's decision, Jeffrey woos Marlene. Seeing the relationship blossoming right before her eyes, Rachel goes through a period of thinking maybe she needs Jeffrey back, but all her efforts are rebuffed. However, is Jeffrey playing fair? Or, is he just playing someone? In MY SISTER'S EX, Cydney Rax delves into a relationship arena which makes one say, "Aw, hell to the no." This territory is no man's land for me. I could not date a man my sister dated or vice versa. Rax made it believable and, therefore, possibly doable. She covers many issues with this dysfunctional family to include jealousy, trust, forgiveness and love. Although I didn't care for this situation, I came along for the ride screaming at Rachel and trying to choke Marlene. When it was all said it done, this was a great book.

My Sister's Ex....Review from Fabculture.com

Cydney Rax has done it again with her new book titled "My Sister's ex"! I found myself completely engulfed in this story about love, sisterhood, and family! The story involves sister's Rachel Merrell and Marlene Draper in a love triangle of sorts with a Mr. Jeffery Williams. Would you ever date your sister's ex?Well if you have never considered this situation, this book is an easy way to view all the angles. Cydney deals with the mentality of each character, their flaws,weaknesses, and strengths. She gives you each character's perspective which makes it easier to identify with each of them. I love how she gives hers characters "true to life" personalities and realistic situations. As you can imagine there is a lot of drama, comedy, and mixed emotions as the plot thickens! I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD at the sticky situations presented in this book! The quote "Oh what a tangled WEB we weave, when first we practice to deceive" comes to mind as hidden truths surface to uncover open lies. As you become entangled in the storyline, in the end you will be SHOCKED of the outcome! I found most of the subplots to be unpredictable and spontaneous! I give this book a 10!!!
