Anyone Wanna Buy A Heart?
Alicia, Kimberlee, and Tomeka are three very close friends who all reside on different ends of the spectrum of love. However, they all have one thing in their bruised hearts.
Alicia, a successful real estate agent, has recently vowed to a life without men. Then she meets Jared, a young, attractive department store worker who sweeps her off her feet. Alicia knows that Jared could be her last chance at finding a love that can make her forget about her past, which includes a baby she gave away out of desperation. The only problem is that Alicia’s heart still belongs to her married, ex-boyfriend, Omar. Will Alicia’s past define her future?
As the wife of a prominent doctor, Kimberlee is a self-proclaimed diva. By her own admission she cherishes money, shopping sprees, and her two poodles. She has it all. She’s beautiful, charming, and filthy rich. The only thing missing in her marriage is love. Her husband, Eddie Lee believes that becoming parents will strengthen their bond. Kimberlee refuses to have children for fear of ruining her body… that is until her husband’s mistress waltzes into their lives pregnant. Will money continue to buy Kimberlee happiness?
Tomeka is a minister’s daughter and the mother of twin boys, Khalil and Khalik. She’s also a hustler’s girlfriend and lives the fast live that is afforded to her by Malik, her drug-dealing boyfriend. No matter how hard she tries, being the girlfriend of a hustler makes it impossible to live a Christian lifestyle. A tragedy in their lives brings her back to her faith and gives her a new best friend, Tina. Now Tina has her eyes on Malik. When Tomeka decides to turn her life around, will Malik follow or will he allow Tina to ruin his family?

A Hard Pill to Swallow
I enjoyed this novel. It was different. This was more of a story about looking for love in all the wrong places. It was well written and flowed well. This was a good first novel for this author. I look forward to reading more her.
Happy Reading,

This was a Very good book filled with Drama and suspense a good page turner
The author took you on a roller coaster ride through the relationship of three friends, Alicia, Kimberlee & Tomeka I felt like the author made the three women very gullible when it came to their men. How far will you go for the price of love?
