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.
