What My Sister Didn’t Know 2 by Janie DeCoster

Love is a word that is thrown around but not taken seriously by some.  Many claim to be in love but at the moment of temptation, everything is out the window.    Relationships are hard enough without one of the parties involved to have their dedication questioned.  How do you deal with current relationships or even new ones when there are trust issues?  Do you build a wall stronger than The Great Wall of China or do you step out on faith, the choice is up to whom?

Lamonte Singletary and his ex-wife Gade are doing the best that they can to raise their son, Brice.  Lamonte is still having pains about the dissolution of his marriage but he is trying to move on with his life.  Gade on the other hand is hanging in limbo trying to figure out what she can do to restore her marriage.   Is there life possible after betrayal or will Gade just live out her days with regret and sadness?

Joe Burrels is trying to be a better person.  Joe recognizes that he has been hurt and is hurting people in the process so that he doesn’t have to feel for anyone.  What is it that can make Joe turn his evil ways around?  Will he finally achieved that relationship that he desires in his subconscious or will Joe continue to have a love ‘em and leave ‘em type of relationship with everyone?

What My Sister Didn’t Know 2 is the continuation of the turmoil that we experienced between Lamonte, Gade, Clay, Saphire and Joe in the first installment.   The drama and intensity continues  while we experience what life is like after breakups.  The characters have a flow that is enjoyable for the reading community but doesn’t make you wait for the connection.  There were small editing  errors but nothing that would take  away from the story.   Once again I have enjoyed DeCosters’ writing and I will continue to look forward to her work.

What My Sister Didn’t Know by Janie DeCoster

Family and love are two words that are supposed to go hand in hand.  Your family is there for you no matter what and the love is always going to be there.  What happens when those two words are fighting against each other?  Should you just give up and walk away or will you do what is right and forgive and forget?  Family and love are the two best thing that could ever happen to you and two of the worse things that could happen.

Saphire and Gade Michaels are sisters who couldn’t be more different. Saphire is older and more everything.  Saphire is what is called a BBW ~ Big Beautiful Woman and she uses her curves to get whatever she wants.  Some would even add Bold to the mix because she goes for anything and everything that she feels she deserves without even batting an eye.  Gade on the other hand is a beautiful petite woman who is shy and has always lived in the shadow of Saphire.  Gade has never felt good enough and that has always been what helped to keep their sisterly relationship strained.  When Gade finally has the upper hand over Saphire (or so she belives), Saphire decides to help her little sister along.  Little does Gade know Saphire is still using her special charm to disrupt anyone’s life that may get in her way.

What My Sister Didn’t Know is very intense.  Anything that has to deal with any type of family issues is going to be intense but DeCoster took it to another level.  This novel is very well written and the characters have you sitting with your mouth open while reading because of their antics.  You will go through a range of emotions but you will absolutely love this read.   This book is an re-release.  If you didn’t read it the first time around, don’t slip on it a second time!   I wholeheartedly recommend this book and this author to anyone that is looking for a new read in their collection.  Kudos!

What My Sister Didn’t Know is available on Amazon.com (Both Kindle and paperback) and BN.com (Paperback only).

This Game Called Life by Marie A. Norfleet

Family is supposed to love you, protect you and keep you safe from harm.  What do you do when you your family is the ones that are torturing you, who do you run to then?

Tonya Arlington is a beautiful girl both inside and out.  She never gives her parents any problems but trouble and problems seem to always find her.  Tonya has nothing but love for her father, after all what girl doesn’t love her father at 7 years old?  When her father tells her that he needs her to help him because of her love for him she agrees, but little did she know that this was the beginning of a life of disappointment and hurt at the hands of her father.  As Tonya grows older the abuse continues and becomes ten fold when she is now also being abused by her uncle.  Determined to live a normal life as a teenager Tonya does the only thing that she could do, she reaches out to her best friend Alex.  Alex being the consummate friend she helps Tonya escape from her reality, but is that enough?  Through a series of life changing events, Tonya rebuilds faith in people and relationships only to be disappointed time and time again.  Will life ever get any better for Tonya or is she destined to be a victim forever?

This Game Called Life is a book about the worst form of child abuse, which is sexual assault.  It is a reality for so many children and is not talked about enough, but it also shows that you can recover and continue with your life in a positive manner.  Norfleet has taken us on a journey that some might not want to go on, the book is detailed with the abuse but it is well written and gives a strong story that will have you talking to the characters and ready to fight alongside them.  I appreciate that she was able to write this story in such a way that would not have us putting the book down because we couldn’t handle the content.  Great story, great writing, I look forward to reading more and more from Norfleet in the future.

This Game Called Life is available for purchase through Amazon.com (paperback and Kindle), BN.com (paperback and Nook) and the publisher’s website:  http://www.gstreetchronicles.com/.
