The Series ...

My Husband's Other Women (Part 1)



http://amzn.to/106q80o


Rayvon Laws swore he'd never get married. There were too many beautiful women in the world to choose from and he was too greedy to settle down with just one. The longest he'd been in a serious relationship was two weeks. But that all changed when he met Stacy who finally snatched up his heart… and all his other drama.

What he didn’t know was that Stacy, the self-proclaimed good girl, could get down and dirty when pushed to her limit. Dealing with her husband’s other women causes her to pull a few tricks from her own bag and sends everyone into a tailspin of confusion.

In a story of sex, lies and cheating who does it best Rayvon or Stacy?

My Husband's Other Women (Part 2)

In a game of love and war are there any true winners?

Rayvon has a new wife and a new baby. You would think that he would finally be satisfied but when it comes to Rayvon’s adulterous ways, you can never know for sure. Is his new family enough to help him leave his mistresses bed for good?

Janice will soon find out that all that glitters ain’t gold. Being a wife instead of the mistress slaps her in the face as the roles change and now she has to deal with what she used to dish out.

After finally being rid of her tumultuous relationship with Rayvon and starting a new family, Stacy is finally happy. Fortunately, Stacy was able to keep her daughter’s true paternity away from Rayvon. But how much longer can she keep it a secret?

As hearts are broken and secrets are revealed, nothing is off limits in this story of these husbands’ and wives’ battles to keep their families together.

My Husband's Other Women (Part 3)

Janice has put her heart and soul into making her marriage last. After realizing that her efforts will never be enough to hold onto someone who was never hers to begin with, will she be able to find peace and forgiveness in a man she once despised.

Stacy has been used to letting her sister handle anyone that wronged her. But when the tables are turned, she must find the courage needed to step into the unfamiliar role of protector.

At the end of it all who will be left scrambling to have the scales of justice tipped in their favor.

Customer Reviews

Great Debut by Lagyrl7 (My Husband's Other Women, Part 1)

"My Husband's Other Women DEFINITELY lives up to the title. Rayvon definitely shows that when it comes to mistresses and side chicks, he can't have just one.

M.H.O.W. was written as fiction, but this could easily be true life for several wives out there. The story is very relatable and believable. Rayvon showed that you can have the best wife at home, but when you're a true dog, you only care about yourself and what makes self happy. Stacy portrayed so many wives that usually ignore the signs that are often presented to them in regards to their man....but the deep love they have for them blinds them and clouds their judgment.

Overall this was a GREAT debut novel. The twists in the plot definitely kept you wanting more. I would definitely recommend this book to another reader."

Awesome by Chanell Nicole (My Husband's Other Women, Part 2)

"This book was excellent from the beginning to the end!! Definitely a page turner!! A emotional roller coaster ride of lies, deceit, drama. I love how Janice and Rayvon got exactly what they deserved. That was sad what happened to Cree. Stacy and Tracy mom wasn't no good. I'm glad Stacy was happy even with all the drama. Can't wait for part 3! !"

Excellent Story by K. Avery (My Husband's Other Women, Part 3)

"Wow!!!! I don't know how much more I can say! I enjoyed book 3 just as much as I enjoyed the first two books! The whole story was great. I'm glad there were some happy endings and I'm glad Rayvon got what was coming to him!!! That karma.....ooh wee!!!!! I'm still sad that Cree didn't make it to the end, though!!! However, it was excellent!!!!"

Wifetress Review

Melinda Graves pen game is amazingly sick! This novel will have you glued to the pages all the way to the end, making you itch for more like you’re a heroin addict! I couldn’t put this book down at all until I completed it! It’s filled with a rollercoaster of love, lies, great sex, betrayal, jealousy, envy and deception. When people you love whom you refer to as family, deceive you in numerous ways as if you’re a stranger from off the streets, there’s no limit to their actions. There’s guaranteed to be chaos! The pain, the tears shed, & the broken hearts in this story could be felt within you & relatable to many.

Lex, Trisha, Tone, Monique, Aaliyah and Carlos are all great friends but consider and treat each other like family. When life progresses everything goes from happiness to despair; lies are told, friends become enemies, family deceive one another, hearts are broken, jealousy and envy surface and death takes you home. The suspense & twist in this story will catch you off guard. When you think you know all you should, you find out it’s so much more adding to the tea.  

Trisha was driving herself crazy from the infidelity her husband put her through. It's a shame that you feel more like your husband's mistress than his wife. She could have left him, with nothing to lose, but her heart wouldn't allow her. Weak-minded, she allowed her husband to disrespect her and make her feel & look like garbage. She is set out to make him & his mysterious “wifetress” pay when it’s all said & done. A happy & content face for now, but will she pull it off? Will the monster deep within be released?

I couldn’t stand Lex, Trisha’s husband. The way he treated his maid & wife were uncalled for. This multimillion baseball player was indeed a monster, a devil in disguise. He absolutely doesn’t deserve to be happy! I hated his character although it suited him so well. You just have to read this book to see what I’m speaking of. He’s one dirty dude. I can’t wait to see what happens to the rest of his life! Hopefully, Melinda will write him off!

I felt bad for Aaliyah. A battered woman who chose to take her own life to escape the hell that she lived. I would have found another way out though, never suicide. From the descriptive detail of how Carlos character is, trust & believe, you will want to jump in the print of this book & “write in” you beating his behind! He & Lex are the worst (just the same), but yet hate each other …now isn’t that something? Carlos had his own vendetta. Even so, he had no one to blame for his pitiful life but himself. He set it all in motion. You have to be careful what you ask for …it could harm you more than it can bring you good! You’re going to have to one-click this book to find out what happens with these two!

I loved Tone’s character. For him to be so smart, it took him a long time to put the pieces of the puzzle together though. He was blinded by love and the power of the P! I was sadden by his fate. He really didn’t deserve all that was thrown at him. Good men are hard to find & his wife just threw him away. Shame on her!

Monique had the perfect life, but if you’re not happy I guess it really isn’t so perfect. She is the owner of the most successful African American sports agency in the country, has a great son & an amazing husband! So why isn’t she happy? Why would you bring so much misery to the ones you love? Sleeping with her husband’s best friend she is known as one man’s wife …another man’s mistress!

Maybe they will all meet this sista named KARMA …she tends to visit from time to time and is a force to reckoned with. I Can’t wait to find out all the juicy secrets in part 2. Make sure you all go and one-click this great read! You won’t be disappointed. Excellent job Melinda!

When A Man Loves A Woman Review

Will T’s debut novel is a great romance/story. I absolutely loved it from beginning to end. This story flows flawlessly from one page to the next …he definitely has a way with words. As for errors, there were less than five misspellings I detected, which made it very easy to read.
  

Carlos Love was the main character in this book. He is a handsome man who have had his share of women. Known as a womanizer, what happens when Cupid’s arrow hits him? Will she accept & the two be happily ever after or will Karma bite him in the ass?

Will will take you on a ride into the love life of Carlos & three women he were involved with; Jasmine, Cassandra and Danielle! When it comes to matters of the heart, decisions have to be made. But how do you know that you’ve made the right choices …to walk away, to stay, to give second chances, and to trust your instincts? Your heart? Or your gut? And if by chance you make the wrong decision could you deal with the consequences of your actions …the heartbreak?

Each relationship is totally different and each of the women helps Carlos grow into the man he is today! Love has definitely changed him.

Jasmine was madly in love with Carlos but he does something that Jasmine just can’t forgive. Their relationship ends & Carlos realizes the mistake he has made. He tries so hard to get Jasmine back into his life but she just can’t forgive him. Should she have let her pride get in her way? In all honesty, you really couldn’t blame her for rejecting Carlos. Heartbreak is a terrible thing to deal with.

Cassandra was a great catch for any man who didn’t want to get serious, or so she may have you think. Had she’d been honest with herself, her outcome with Carlos may have been different. She surprised me quite much! The choices we make, to live with them is the true challenge!

Now Danielle was the woman of any man’s dream. She had the intelligence, the wealth, prestige, beauty …everything any woman would die for. But could she be Carlos’ happily ever after? I absolutely loved their relationship. It was so honest & the love between them were genuine. Will there love stand the test of time? Until next time …

If you’re a softie for romance &/love stories, then I suggest that you 1-click this book now. You will not be disappointed! Will has done a great job!

I'm In Love With A Rap Star Review

This book was very interesting. It keeps the reader engaged, wanting more and having them not wanting to put the book down. At least, that’s how I felt. This story was very entertaining. It would piss you off, make you cry, make you want to slap or beat a character’s behind or even make you want to murder a character yourself. It seemed like I was watching a movie in print.

Robin takes you into the life of Dafon, better known as Dada. Dada was just a typical stick up kid who had the dreams of becoming a rap star. Once he made it to the status he wanted, all hell broke loose & everything began falling apart for him. He let his money, fame & of course, women destroy his marriage, career & life in general. His beautiful wife Mel stood by his side for as long as she could take. Personally, I felt like she stayed way too long. But what can you say or do when you’re that young & in love? She was a very cool person but was a bit naïve to be “in love with a rap star.”  Her family & closest friends tried their best to discourage her from getting with & staying involved with Dada, but of course, she didn’t listen. Boy, did she have a lot to learn. I’m glad they had a mutual friendship & understanding when it came to their son, DJ. Hopefully he won’t follow in his father’s footsteps.

Believe it or not, some women would settle & appreciate being the infamous side chick. That’s exactly where Jasmine came into play in this great storyline. Crazy, nah! Psychotic is the best word to describe her. She worked her way into Dada’s life & stole his heart from Mel. Willing to except being the second woman, but consider herself to be wifey she gain his trust & so much more. Doing so, she learned of all his dirty little secrets & in the end she intentional destroyed Dada! A woman scorned is a hell of a price to pay …set out for revenge over her broken heart, she’s liable to do anything. As the saying goes, “Hell has no fury on a woman scorned.”

The jealousy between Jasmine & Mel was at an all-time high & I can’t wait to find out what goes down in part 2 between the two of them. The hatred was livid!

His manager, Mike knew a little too much & ran to the feds with it after being fired. I completely agree with the firing but what happens next was much like the beginning of Dada’s nightmare. Let’s just say you have to be careful about what you do & your surroundings!

The loyalty …who’s really loyal? What is your definition of loyalty, trust and respect? Many of the characters in this book meaning are kind of far-fetched from the true meaning of those words. Dafon was so loyal to everyone but he didn’t realize how unloyal they were to him. The ones you trust the most, would ultimately be the cause of your downfall if you’re not careful. His manager, best friend/brother, side chick all betrayed him in one way or another. They each had a helping in crumbling his world, but can you really blame them? The choices an individual makes is what set your future in existence and Dada definitely made some of the wrong choices.

Was his fate destined to him by his own doing? Or was he a victim of the one’s he loved? What will happen to Dada, Jasmine, and Mel? I don’t know about y’all, but part 2 isn’t getting her fast enough!

The drama, deceit, jealousy, and hatred surrounding this story will have you upset that the book has ended …only because you will have the need to want to know what happens next! Go 1-click this banger today if you haven’t already & read it ASAP!

Robin you did an awesome job with this story! The drama that surround this book were breathtaking and I’m sure your readers are dying for part 2 to drop. There were missing and/or misspelled words but it was very minimal and it didn’t interfere with my reading. Great job.

Million Dollar Dreams and Federal Nightmares Review

Ace Gucciano's debut novel is a five star read. I loved every minute of it. The storyline was well written and flowed great from page to page. However, there were about 2 to 3 repeated sentences, a few misspelled & misplaced words in the text. I am most definitely looking forward to the next release.

Ace and Bishop were two friends who were more like brothers. They were fresh out of prison doing a 13 month bid. I hate the fact that Ace let his jealously & envy cause distance in their friendship. I felt he was very petty for acting the way he did because Bishop wanted a different environment & life for his family. Bishop definitely made the right choice moving to LA. His bittersweet mistake of taking that trip back to Atlanta caused him his life. It was sweet because he rekindled his friendship with Ace, but bitter because of their misfortunate deaths. It's always said that your past will catch up to you and Bishop & Ace's past definitely caught up with them but it also allowed their son's to walk right into their footsteps; filling their positions in the drug game.

Ricky, Ace’s son, and Junior, Bishop’s son, were young & at times clueless. They made many mistakes but learn from them all. One thing I can say, they asked questions when unsure about an issue. I'm eager to find out if they will 100% fulfill their million dollar dreams or if they will indeed have federal nightmares!

Sada & Natasha character was very well expected. I mean, I've always been told that you shouldn't put that much trust in a female, especially one you really didn't know, when you're in the drug game. That there was one of Ricky & Junior's biggest mistake & almost cost them their lives. They were out to get paid by any means necessary & paid the ultimate price for it. I guess they were truly on the wrong team!

LaTonya was very grimy. Just like a female to assume the worst & act on it before you know the story of what's going on. She was really pissing me off in this book. Her small role in the book was good but I hope to hear more about her in the next release, just to see what she's been up too after all these years. I'm also curious to know what Junior's homeboys back in LA have been up to since Junior left.

Juan & Lopez honestly thought they were going to get away with murder, seriously? Let's just say that I agree that they should have got revenge, but no one has the right to take a life & when you take a life you best believe, someone's out to take your last breathe as well, Karma!

Pedro was a very cool dude, I loved his demeanor. I was shocked that he didn't harm Ricky & Junior after that incident that took place, family or not. I'm glad that he didn't thou. He sees how loyal & trustworthy they are & you got to appreciate that.

I recommend that you all go 1-click this great read by Ace today, you won't be disappointed. This gritty street-lit drama filled of disloyalty, envy, greed, love, loyalty & respect will have you glued to the pages until the very end. Job well done Ace Gucciano!
