By Nishawnda Ellis

Book Overview

Betraying vows for a night full of lust can lead to a lifetime full of pain.

Wealthy black entrepreneur Dominic Jones's livelihood rests on money, power and women. He enjoys splitting his time between married life and serial love affairs with his girlfriends. Suffering from depression, being overweight and having to be the disciplinarian for their spoiled rotten daughter, Dominic's wife Donna has enough on her plate, and is not ready to deal with the kind of man she married.

Although Dominic proclaims to love his family, he's very careless with the women in his life, and is used to them falling in line. That is until he meets Tera Larou, a woman who makes a career of dating married men. She and Dominic share a lustful and erotic affair. Against all her rules, Tera falls in love with Dominic and demands he leave his family for her. Under no circumstances is Dominic willing to leave his family for any woman.

Left with no other option, Tera plots to get rid of Donna and become Dominic's wife. But When Tera's advances threaten the safety of Dominic's family, an already suspicious Donna is finally ready to do something about her cheating husband. Dominic has to act fast before he loses everything. Tera winds up brutally murdered and Dominic is the primary suspect. With his unfaithful ways out in the open and his ex-girlfriend death's hanging over his head, Dominic soon realizes the consequences of living a double life between his wife and girlfriend.

Excellent novel!!!

Wives and Girlfriends was a fascinating read! I read the entire book in one day because it was hard to put it down. Normally, I read romance novels but I decided to give this self-published author a try after visiting her website and reading an excerpt from the story. Each of the characters were well developed and the plot was terrific all the way until the very last page. The ending will leave you stunned. If you're looking for a good read and a quick read, don't sleep on this one. This is a very talented author that I look forward to reading more from.

All I need in this life of sin, is me & my girlfriend!!!

Karma is a mutha....And in this novel by Ms. Ellis what comes around sure does go around!! This book was sooo good, I could not put it down. I was kind of skeptical about buying this book, because I'd never heard of this author, but I am glad I did!! This is the story of Dominic Jones, a successful businessman who is married, but has to have a "girlfriend". He meets Tera and thinks he's met the perfect lady, but Tera turns out to be a fatal attraction, and ends up dead, with Dominic being the suspect. You will be surprised at who really killed this "professional girlfriend" turned nut-case. Trust, you will enjoy this story! Good job, Nishawnda!!

A MUST READ

The book was hot! From page one the author captures the reader's attention by giving them a page full of what was to come in the future chapters of the book. This was my first book reading from the author and it won't be the last. Keep up the good work Ms. Ellis and continue to give your reader some-thing worth reading.
