Ties That Bind
It is inevitable. When in a relationship, it is natural to befriend the friends of your mate. Before you know it, the group feels more like a family. At times, it is a dysfunctional family. What happens when you are forced to choose between the sisterhood you've forged and the man who introduced you to it?
Yvonne and Marv are recently engaged and deeply in love; just not always with each other. Marv has a lot of love to go around. His infidelities set off a chain of events that threaten to break the foundation that the group of friends is built on and has Yvonne seeing red.
Octavia and Terrance have it all. They are the beautiful people. Nice house...luxury cars...and they are swimming in name brand everything. Little does everyone know, they are drowning in debt. Octavia is constantly juggling between being the peacemaker of the ladies and making peace with the fact that the man she loves cannot be trusted with their financial stability. From the outside looking in, everyone is green with envy. But they shouldn't be.
Alana and George are simple folks. They have respectable jobs and a quiet life. But heroes come in unlikely uniforms. George is so busy being a caped crusader to his entire family and often forces Alana to play his trusty sidekick. It is a gig she didn't sign up for and one she doesn't know how to quit. If he doesn't learn how to stand up to his needy mother, she's going to quit him. George was once Alana's Black knight. Now she sees him as just a yellow-bellied coward.
Kimber and Butch are the only married couple out of the group and they are the poster children for why no one else should join them. A dark secret from Butch's past haunts the two and prevents them from true happiness. When Kimber sets out to find happiness of her own, she finds it in the arms of another man. How Butch responds alters the lives of everyone involved. He is surrounded by blue.
The drama starts as the crew attends the engagement party of Yvonne and Marv, with each couple donned in the hue that matches the secrets they are trying desperately to keep. And it just heats up from there. The mercury rises and this Texas tale gets hotter than the asphalt in July. The women may need to cut heartstrings with one another to save their own relationships. They are all trying to figure out a way to set themselves free from... Ties That Bind.

Shaking My Head
This wasn't a bad story. However Yvonne made me sick. Her being naive and overlooking the obvious struck a nerve in me. Love is not enough when you are dealing with a man that is selfish, inconsiderate, with no conscience like Marv. He was all about his self. Kimber was self absorb and only thought of herself. I understood what she was going through with Butch but the thing's that happened to him in the past does not justify Kimber actions. She was crazy to think that just because she came clean that all was well. Octavia had her reservations about Terrance and it was with good reason but hopefully she realized that no one is perfect. Alana had every right to be in her feelings about the choices George was making when it came to his family. This was a pretty decent read but there was a few grammatical errors that have me rating this at three stars.

Great Story
It's sad how infidelity runs the world. I feel so bad for Butch. Yvonne should never settle with a Dog, she could have photon worse than chlamydia. Alana was a fool. Marvin is gross.
