About this listen

 On the day he is supposed to propose to Amelia, things go tragically wrong, and Bodie ends up in the slammer with a conviction for manslaughter. Amelia can't believe Bodie is guilty, but she knows she's got to move on and find herself a better man. And just when she thinks she's found that man, Amelia finds out her new lover has more in common with Bodie than smooth moves.

Essence best-seller and book-club favorite Eric Pete returns with another seductive tale of love gone wrong.

Critic reviews

"The inner lives of the main characters and most of the supporting cast are well sketched." ( Publishers Weekly)
All stars

I didn't know this book was set in Houston, but when I heard the names of familiar streets and parts of towns, I immediately perked up. This was an OUTSTANDING book that made me feel proud to call Houston home. Excellent plot, character development and visual clues. The language flowed effortlessly, making an enjoyable read. Kudos to the author.

Two thumbs up from Htown

I guess I'm not liking books where someone is sittin' in jail. I just can't get into it and am going to see about getting my coin back.

NOT MY TYPE OF BOOK

Overall, great story. However I found myself rolling my eyes when Ike’s chapters started. Ezra Knight’s performance was so annoying, it was like Captain Kirk from the old Star Trek show. Too many pauses between words. The story is still worth the credit. I just won’t purchase anymore audio books with Ezra Knight as the narrator.

Great story. Annoying Narrator!
