This story has five different main characters going on; but wait the three of the five characters belong to one person who’s suffering with multiple personality disorder, something the reader will not see coming.

The book "Forever Our Angels" takes a very honest look into the lives of men and women that are affected by the loss of a pregnancy. Some of the people who shared their stories have suffered multiple losses such as the author herself.
This was an incredible collection of stories of anger, hope, bravery and even despair. The message excellently conveyed was – Not to take anything for granted.
What was also amazing that in situations like miscarriage ,their weren't many outlets for parents to express how and what they are really feeling and in "Forever Our Angels" did an outstanding job of filling an obvious void that was missing for parents going through the same thing.
The book is filled with personal short stories of men and women and the author did an outstanding job of bringing each story to life that you too felt the same emotion these parents did. There was an incredible introduction by a physician who too had experienced the ache of the losing a child. I laughed and I cried. This was an on the whole a great book and a necessary read for parents who have suffered a loss of a child.
No one could even possibly know all the pain and heartache from the loss of a child more than the parents of such tragedy, this novel delivered the much needed outlet that offered that shoulder to lean on but more significantly that someone was thinking of the parents, and in this case it was author Hannah Stone.
David Lincoln is tall, dark and handsome all that and then some. He was what every woman wanted good looking, college degree, no children, no prison record, and best of all good credit!! A former cop turned writer.
Val was sexy, graceful, famous, and rich! A biracial ballet dancer from old money and strong Hollywood ties. David had no idea that he would ever choose, or be chosen, to spend the rest of his life with someone like Val. But David soon discovered that Val loved him more than he loved himself, and what more could a man possibly want?
Together David and Val shared a life that was enviable, with money, fame, parties, sex and good times. It's only until the arrival of David's ex-girlfriend from back home, the seductive Patti, that their love was put to the test. David and Val found themselves questioning their lifestyles and each other.
This book was a non stop roller coaster ride. I picked this book up and when I began reading it I thought for sure I thought I knew who Val really was. Boy, was I wrong this story was great. This story took you deep into the lives of a homosexual couple and something could have been left for the imagination it was definitely different from what society would accept as the norm.
One part that was disturbing was that Patty never picked up on the two until the end and for me that didn't seem realistic because the two main characters were too in sync with one another for anyone not to be able to pick up on the "chemistry".
I look forward to more novels from PR Hawkins.
REVIEW COMING SOON

Author Francine Craft weaves a beautiful story between characters Dosha and Christian and for female readers this book leaves you wanting to fall in love, but more importantly believing anything is possible…

Shock jock Wendy Williams lets loose with the first in a series of novels based on her alter ego, the diva radio DJ Ritz Harper. Ritz puts the s in shock and the g in gossip, and Drama is her middle name.
Ritz is a sweet girl on the outside, but inside she’s a hustler’s whose claim to fame is that you ruined the career of a anchorwoman who also happens to be her former friend from college. That is as far as it goes for plot.
This book was a quick read so quick in fact I managed through it while walking on my treadmill. I am still not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
If you purchase this novel thinking Wendy is now a story teller and is going to whisk you off into never-never land think again!
If you are a fan of Wendy's radio show then you already know what this book is about. I assume this is the closest thing to a biography we are going to get. 224 pages of blind items you as a loyal listener of her radio show already know.
I was just simply disappointed that this story was based on her life with a lot of name changes but the story still remained the same she is a gossip guru who makes a living by bringing your skeletons out of the closet. It was also below par that the book left with a cliffhanger, a smart business tactic to get you to buy the next one.
Will this book sell? Certainly because of who the author is and what she is known for.
Have I read better? Most definitely and there are so many other talented authors that wont get their time to shine because society loves what it loves and in this instance it is Wendy Williams.

This book is great!!! I got this book lastnight and finished it this morning. I could not put this book down!!! It tells a story of four friends Alexis,Sidney,Simone and Tracey and each storyline is unique and what book doesn't have drama and this book is no exception. This book was well written and I anxiously await more work from this author......Job Well Done...A definite must read!!
