Sticky Situation

Nina finds herself stripping for a living after her boyfriend is murdered. At the moment, this is the best way for her to make a living to provide for her and her daughter, Precious. Larry is a sports agent. He lost his wife to cancer and now it's just him and Chrissy, his Autistic daughter. While frequenting the strip club he finds himself drawn to Nina. After Nina is involved in an altercation, Larry comes to the rescue. `Nina's Got A Secret' opens with the wedding of Larry and Nina. While he knows she's not right now in love with him, he's certain that introducing her to the finer things in life will definitely make the transition a lot smoother. Barbara, Larry's sister, and Terry, his best friend, are totally against him marrying Nina; but his mind is set. Val, Nina's best friend, is envious of her best friend's extravagant life. Val is aware that Nina doesn't love her husband. She's also witnessed the impatience that she shows Chrissy. A tragic car accident leads to Nina's greatest challenge ever. On the brink of losing it all, her husband and the bountiful lifestyle he's provided for her and her daughter, Nina may have to follow the lead of others. Can you make a hooker a housewife? `Nina's Got A Secret' written by Brain Smith is powerful. As I was reading I couldn't help thinking, `I wish I could find someone that loved me half as much as Larry loved Nina.' Very good book that I highly recommend it!!! OOSA Book Of The Month

Quagmire

Larry Dennison and Nina Arcenaux have substantial things in common. Both lost the loves of their lives on the exact same date and they both have 8-year-old daughters in need of additional parents. More importantly, Larry is very successful with finances that can offer Nina the plush lifestyle she's always wanted to live. Admittedly, Larry knows that Nina doesn't love him, but it's his hope that she would learn to love him. At least she's appreciative for all that he's offered her. However, is that enough on which to build a foundation? Too many games and people will seriously get hurt. Greed, envy, manipulation, and selfishness seep in infecting the hearts and souls. A contemptuous struggle, then black mail, murderous plots, jail and could there be a chance for forgiveness? NINA'S GOT A SECRET is a nippy, suspenseful read that offers plenty of laughter, compassion and love. Brian W. Smith has delivered a tragic, heart wrenching tale that is sure to hold your attention from start to finish. Reviewed by: Crystal 4.5 stars

Through a series of intertwining events, Nina's life becomes a living hell as she finds herself continuously trying to cover up her past actions. Brian W.

From the very first page, Smith captures the reader and does not let go until the end. The secret and the twists in the story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I would absolutely recommend this book.
