First Time Reader

This was the first time I've read Brenda Jackson book, and I can say, I will be reading more... I loved this book and have passed it on to my co-worker to read...

Brenda Jackson is one of the best!

I am hooked on Brenda Jackson's novels. She is a great writer. She knows how to mix, romance, passion, desire, and sensuality all in one. She even adds some mystery in this one. If you are a die-hard romantic you will enjoy her novels. This one centers on 3 women who are very successful and overcome past experiences that could taken them in other directions. The story evolves finding each character encountering a man that steals their hearts. Jackson walks you through how each character's relationship develops, with all leading to a fairy tale ending. It may or may not be realistic but it is nice to believe that fairy tale relationships can and do exist. I enjoyed reading this book and found myself laughing out loud.

A Book About Real People

I really enjoyed reading this book. The women in the story had real issues. They weren't complaining about stupid stuff. They were women willing to move on and start over. That not only took courage, it also took time. But in the end, all the heartbreak and drama they experienced was worth it. An excellent read.

Brandy hires former FBI Agent Grey Masters when someone begins to stalk her. Carla fights off a hostile takeover of her business led by Jesse Deveraux, the only man she ever loved literally and emotionally. The three relationship failures have found love, but will any one of them realize what they have if they go for it?Brenda Jackson displays she is a savvy sistah when it comes to successfully providing an enjoyable contemporary romance starring three delightful single women. THE SAVVY SISTAHS contains three prime intermingling story lines as each of the female trio stars in their own respective tale, but overlap just enough so that the audience feels like participants in a cleverly designed plot. Ms. Jackson provides a wonderful novel that gifts fans of strong female protagonists with an integrated charming triad.Harriet Klausner

Liked It!!

I really enjoyed the book! You need some sisters in your corner like Carla,Amber and Brandy. One thing about them is that they took the time out for each other and didn't dog the other when they went celibate.It was moreso a team effort. So I enjoyed it and recommend it!! Get one for your favorite girl!
