 Drama-Free Bree…I think NOT!!!, July 23, 2008
Newcomer Angel Mechelle brings readers a sizzling page-turner with her debut novel “Another Woman’s Husband”. Main character Breanna Michaels (Bree) is a single mother of two young children who is no stranger to drama. Although she has been through the wringer and back with her children’s fathers and has moved to Florida for a fresh start, nothing can prepare her for the antics of her latest love interest. Not too long after her move, things get interesting when Bree responds positively to propositions posed by her neighbor’s husband, Dre. Though she knows it is wrong, Bree embarks on this relationship that was pretty much doomed from the start. Not only is Dre married with children, but Breanna is cordial with his wife Neecy – and the couple lives right across the hall!!! Once the affair is in full swing it doesn’t take long for Bree to see that Dre will NEVER be hers. Despite revelations involving domestic abuse, illegitimate children, and drug-abuse, Bree is “standing by Neecy’s man”, lol. Her life has taken on drastic changes, but Bree is certain that Dre is her soul mate and will not back down. Neecy is putting up one hell of a fight and so the saga goes. I love the cover of this novel and find that there would be no other title more fitting than the one Angel designated. At times I wanted to strangle Bree for the poor choices she made, but that’s the whole idea – creating characters readers love to hate! I wish some of the situations would have been omitted in order to provide a more solid closure, though I am aware of a sequel in the works. Still, I feel with the tremendous information provided in this fabulous debut, it should be a single book. Angel demonstrates great story telling skills and I without a doubt look forward to a new story from her. English |

Oh No Not My Husband, August 7, 2008
Meet Breana Nicole Micheals she is a sexy single mother of two doing what she has to, to hold her family down. She has gotten herself into some messy relationships and has decided to move Tuckett, Fl to get her mind right and get the support of her family. After being in Fl for a yr she gets some unwanted attention from her sexy neighbor Andre Edwards bka Dre who is tall like Kobe, thick like Labron James and a look alike for the rapper The Game right down to the tattoos The Game has. Sounds sexy doesn’t he, so you ask what is the problem? The problem is he is very married to Neecy for almost 8 yrs and the couple has two children together. Now when I say unwanted I mean she is not into married guys, hell she wants to get married herself. She is lonely and misses the male companionship. Bree wants to feel beautiful, wants to feel like a woman. Dre taking advantage of the situation woos her into a relationship with him. In a New York minute Bree’s life goes from drama free to way too much drama. Bree goes from the cool person with morals to every woman’s worst nightmare. Dre and Neecy have the perfect marriage to outsiders. Dre works and takes care of home like a man should. Then Neecy gets a whiff that things aint what they seem between her husband and the neighbor she has been friendly to. Neecy puts her detective skills to work. Neecy is not going out without a fight. She stands firm on the notion – you will not get my husband without a fight. Man the drama is unbelievable and intense! Dre is so slick I think he showered daily in oil. The way these two women both refused to let him go had me cheering and calling them stupid idiots in the next breath lol. You are going to have to read the book to get all your questions answered like who wins Dre, and how much drama can these people withstand. Author Angel Mechelle pens a hood novel that women can identify with at one time or another whether the wife or the other woman. The emotions she reveals in the novel are classic. Makes me wonder who was she in the book? Another Woman’s Husband was really a change of pace, as I have never read a book from the other woman’s viewpoint, well one who never wanted to be the other woman anyway. Angel painted a vivid picture; I felt like I was a fly on the wall. The only draw back I had with the book was the ending seems rushed. While she closed the story and didn’t leave the reader hanging, she didn’t spend a lot of time explaining like she did in the early part of the book. I am looking forward to reading more of her work in the near future. SiStar Tea |
