So Much Drama

This book was full of some serious drama but was very entertaining all the same. Dwayne made his characters pop. There's Mike - detested by most woman, admired by many men. He so did not deserve Mya. Speaking of which, how could such a well-educated & established woman be so clueless? Max - can you say yuck! Lessons learned the hard way. Trina was definitely a better woman than most. And finally Ahmad - can't blame a brother for being a man. Shay truly needed to get over it. Great read - would recommend to anyone!

DRAMA WITH A CAPITAL "D!"

If you want a fun read that's a serious pageturner, you've found it. This novel centers around the friendships of three men--Ahmad, Max and Mike. Of the three, all of whom are married, Ahmad is the consummate "good guy;" the rest are truly womanizers. Mike, despite being married to the gorgeous Mya, just cannot keep from chasing other women...and eventually, it catches up with him and his worse nightmare comes to fruition. Max is the "bad" boy. Rocking cornrows and dreams of managing the next hot rapper, he is married to Trina. Trina and her sister Nikita have escaped the ghetto and the projects in which they grew up..but Trina still has a penchant for soldiers--hence her love and marriage to Max. But Trina and Nikita have left their mother and their brother still immersed in the old life...and what is a woman to do when finds out that her man is screwing her mother? Ahmad, though the good guy who loves his wife Shay, has always had a soft spot for Mike's wife Mya. And Shay's reluctance to be a wife to Ahmad in the physical sense soon places him in a compromising position with the beautiful Mya...and perhaps Ahmad isn't quite as good a guy as we all think..... Chock full of drama, this book is one no reader will want to put down.... DYB

Once again it's on!!!!

Dwayne S. Joseph's latest release is once again a hit!!! I love the way he makes you feel as if you know each and every character in the book. Max was straight up trifling but there were times I actually began to empathize with him. I loved Ahmad, he was my favorite!!! This book had me laughing out loud at times and was a total enjoyment from beginning to end. Dwayne, you have and always will be one of my favorite authors and I can't wait to read Never Say Never!!!

The Womanizers

I loved the book!! It is a book that will truly keep your attention. I was unable to put the book down; infact, I completed the book in one day. The characters are all people that I could relate to. The realness of the drama that took place in the individual character's lives displayed vivid pictures in my mind/imagination as I read each line. I almost forgot that I was reading a book because the situations were those of everyday life. I could put faces on the characters because of the detail that the author so greatly illustrated in his writings. I would definitely recommend this book to others. And even more so,I would love to see this drama re-enacted on screen. Two thumbs up to the author!!!!

The Couples Next Door

When I started reading Womanizers, I said to myself "I know this couple." Mike and Mya, the cutest of them all in my mind, had issues from the door. Why Mya thought she could change the filandering ways of a playboy like Mike was beyond md and only set her up for extreme heartache. She put her all into him, KNOWING full well that he wasn't committed to her. Material things only lasted a hot minute and couldn't go up against the many women who occupied his "member" on a regular basis. Max was having sex with Who?????, and Trina being her WHAT???? should've cut her, for sure. Shay, had a baby and depressed because of her new body, held out on what every relationship needs, sex, leaving her man horny and wide open for sexual advances not only by other women, but other women who weren't being treated right by their man....and who were also looking to scratch their itch. Womanizers was a great interpretation of what happens when you cheat and or hold out on your spouse. I was able to get into each character and feel their pain, as well as their joys. Excellent job, Dwayne!
