Book – Another Woman’s Husband

 

Author – Angel Mechelle

 

Reviewer – Sidne, The Book Club Reviewer

 

Have you ever had a girlfriend that would NOT listen to the advice of her girls? 

Have you had a girlfriend that was a man’s fool not once but twice? 

Have you ever had a girlfriend who said one thing and did another?

Have you ever had a girlfriend that ‘been there, done that’ and went back there again?

Was this girlfriend all one friend?

 

Meet Bree Micheals, a young divorced mother of two children and that girlfriend mentioned above.  After one failed marriage and a turbulent relationship, Bree decides to move back to Tuckett, Florida for a fresh start.  She has her own apartment, a car and a nice job. She is feeling good about herself again.

 

Dre, described as a caramel complexion, tall but thick like Lebron James with huge cut arms décor with tattoos and a beautiful set of teeth that displays an infectious smile. He has all the physical ‘pluses’ a woman wants in a man. However he does have a MINUS. He’s married, married with children.

 

It all started when Bree’s car was mysteriously receiving car washes, then one or two roses left by her door and small notes stuck between the car doors.  Very intriguing don’t you think? 

 

Although Bree never intended to start a relationship with Dre, she does.  Feeling guilty for the perverted lust she had for another woman’s husband didn’t consume her guilt; even as she reminisced about her own devastated emotions when she was ‘that woman’s husband.’  Bree realized this was another woman’s husband, the husband that lived in the same apartment complex as she; another woman’s husband whom she knew both his wife and children!  What’s the word for this?

 

The wife had her suspicious and yes she finds out and the pages really start turning.  Dre, well, he has nothing but love for his Boo (Bree) and demonstrates this LOVE to Bree. You’ve heard it before; ‘You’ll looking for Love in all the wrong places,’ breaking it down; Looking for Love within the wrong person. 

 

The storyline is full of family support, girlfriends, an ignored conscious, sex, anger, lust, jealousy, rage, forgiveness and happiness. This was an enjoyable read. You know you got a good read when the story has you talking out loud to the characters.  The drama within the storyline is a well-written realization of why you should listen to that little voice you hear that is called a conscious.

 

A good read. Make Another Woman’s Husband your book club selection.

When it’s cold outside…curl up with “Another Woman’s Husband”…(RWA review)

What You Won’t Do For Love, November 2, 2008 By  Readers With Attitude Bookclub “www.myspace.c… (Richmond, VA) – See all my reviews Bree Michaels has just gotten rid of some serious poisonous relationships in her life. From the first page she makes a promise to herself to remain drama free. But Bree’s life has never allowed her to be drama free and drama seems to gravitate towards her like she’s a drama magnet. When she meets Dre from across the hall and he starts to peak her interest she is caught in a catch 22. He’s married, she knows the wife, and she’s been down that road before as the one being cheated on by a no good husband. But on the other side of the spectrum, Dre is sexy as hell! How will this wild relationship turn out? You have to pick up this page turner to see. Comments from our book club: “This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster spiritually, physically and mentally. It’s real, it’s powerful, it was a non-stop episode of the life & love of Bree.” “The book was very exciting and I love the way the book had me very interested. I really enjoyed reading about Bree & Dre’s love interest.” “Thanks for the read! It really opened my mind to new teaching for followers of the lord.” “I felt that this book brought out a lot of different emotions that would make you take a deeper look in life.” “The book captured my attention from the beginning to the end. It gave me insight into the psyche of Bree, a woman searching for love. I wanted her to finally find her place in this world. The author paid careful attention to the development of the characters. Excellent!” “The book was excellent! It kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end. There was never a dull moment. I can’t waive for 2!” “I feel the book was excellent. It was very intense and it kept my attention. I couldn’t put it down, can’t wait for the sequel.” “Another Woman’s Husband was an excellent book. I felt as if I knew Bree personally because I was Bree. This book gave me hope that like Bree, I can also move on.” “Angel Mechelle paints a vivid portrait of how love can take you on a fast ride. All Bree ever wanted was love, but while her head was telling her no, her body was screaming YES! Who hasn’t been there before? The characters in this book will have laughing, crying, screaming, kicking, even staying up until the middle of the night to see what happens next. If you are looking for a good read, this is the book for you!”

Never judge a book by its title: Another Woman’s Husband. I had my own preconceived notion about what Another Woman’s Husband would be about prior to reading it. In my mind the mistress was going to want to tell her story and want sympathy from me, the reader. She was going to be the victim and tell her ‘Woe is me’ story. Not so. Although, I didn’t agree with all of Bree Michaels’s methods, I couldn’t help develop a certain fondness for Bree. She tugs at the strings of your heart.

Bree Michaels is the main character who is young, sexy, single and raising her two children. She has great ambition and wants the love of a man. When she finds out her secret admirer is her neighbor’s husband she swears she doesn’t want any drama but can’t contain her curiousity.
Dre, her sexy and charismatic neighbor has all of the answers. He’s so smooth he can melt butter. Bree knows right from wrong but Dre justifies their affair by bad-mouthing his wife, Neecy to Bree.
Initially, church-going Neecy is unsuspecting of the affair. After all she has befriended Bree, had conversations at length with Bree, and even invited Bree over to her home. You’ll have to read Another Woman’s Husband to find out how Neecy handles her lying, cheating husband and what happens for her to lay hands on Bree.
How does Bree handle being the “Other Woman”? Neecy and Bree are they Dre’s only victims?

Jahzara: Angel, what was your motivation for writing Another Woman’s
Husband?

Angel Mechelle: Another Woman’s Husband was inspired by actual events in my life. The characters are based off of actual people, but a reader can easily associate them with people in their own lives. Bree Michaels’s story isn’t unique. There are many women who are living this story every day, some with even worse consequences than Bree. I wanted to share this particular story with women everywhere to give them a chance to look inside of another situation and look deeper into their own. I’m finding that many women can relate to Bree and Neecy.

Jahzara: What authors have inspired you?

Angel Mechelle: I have always been an avid reader. I read books from all genres. To point out an author who inspired me would be hard. There are truly too many to name.
I do however, appreciate Shannon Holmes, not only for his work, but for what he has done as far as reaching back and giving new authors such as myself the opportunity to make their way into the literary world. E. Lynn Harris was a big inspiration to me, when I received an email and a book of fiction lessons from his foundation a few years ago. His message was to just start somewhere, and don’t give up on writing. Four years ago that’s what I did and here I am today.

Jahzara: Upon reading Another Woman’s Husband, what do you hope your readers will take away from the story?
Angel Mechelle: I hope readers will be entertained as well as educated on how devastating infidelity can be for all involved…including the children. I would like for readers to take a deep look into the worlds of Dre, Bree, and Neecy and reconsider their own actions. The only person who wins… is the cheater. They get the best of both worlds.

I give Another Woman’s Husband 5 bookmarks. The storyline is believable. It keeps the reader engaged. At times enraged to the point where you want to reach out and smack one of the characters. The ending is a pleasant and unsuspecting one. I’m sure Angel Mechelle has many great books to come and a follow-up to this novel.
