Black Love Matters By: QuardeayJulien

Jump into a world of Urban Romance full of what is the essence of who we are as Kings and Queens. A reminder of a thing that has almost become myth. In these pages a something long forgotten has been reborn. Welcome once again to the world of Black Love.

Character Breakdown

Philly: Some would call her a hoe while some will call her misguided. Honestly she is neither. She is an awesome mind wrapped in self assurance. Her crown graces the head of a true powerhouse who rules in life as well as the bedroom. Philly is a women who is in tune with her sexuality while having a system that is in place to protect her heart. Her behavior is not raunchy but more so full of sensuality and the power it wields her in intimacy. She is complex as all women are and ever evolving in her thoughts, wants and needs. She also has secrets hidden behind a fortress that appears to be promiscuity. What she needs is a proverbial light to lead her to what she really desires.

Avant: Black man on a rise to excellence. He finally finds the opportunity to show the world just what his creative mind can do. Landing his dream job has him relocating to a new city and closer to his best friend. New area, new playground and this leopard can't change his spots or can he? He is a connoisseur of women and he is not ashamed to admit it. His move to a new city brings him face to face with one of the biggest challenges he has ever met. This journey just may be what he needs to find his sense of self.

Parker: In a world where black women are objectified and defiled. This Queen has found a way to still remain virtuous. She has a proven methodoloy.  that helps her weed out those unworthy. Her ideals may seem archaic but she only intends to give her all to a King who is deserving. She uses her trust in fate to guide her steps through life. As we all know fate has a funny way of bringing people together. The question to be asked is will she use more than her physical eyes when trying to decipher fates plan.

Khali: Verily chilvary is not dead and morals do exist. In a time where all men want is to catch a nut and play house. You meet a unique Man who would rather know you mind and soul. Than to enjoy the sacredness of your body. He has taken a vow to save himself for the one he will build a life with. His decision has caused many of women to question not just his sanity but his manhood as well. No matter what he remains solid and does not waiver in his quest to find his better half.

Story From my Perspective

Best friends is the dynamic and the vehicle in which this story thrives. Each group of friends are as different as night and day. Philly a vivacious, outspoken, self-assured and sensual writer who is best friends with Parker who is an artist, innocent, morally sound and naive to life. Then you have Avant who is a bold, risk taking, playful editor while Khali is a poetic, woke, romantic and uplifting artist. But in the opposing friendships they each find their perfection in the one designed for them.

Inside of this story you will find reminders for the soul. You will see how each person has a foundation that will only be built upon once they meet their match. In these pages love is not just one dimensional it is fluent.

Philly and Avant are used to a certain type of liaison. Arrangements that are both carnal and pleasurable. Thinking with their bodies. Forgetting that intimacy opens pathways to the heart. What was once casual makes an unexpected metamorphosis into a situation that exceeds comfortability. Will they follow the new path placed before them or allow fear of the unknown to rob them of greatness.

Khali and Parker have met and missed each other so much. You have no choice but to believe that destiny is calling. Have you ever met someone on a pure vibe? Its like the moment your minds connect, your heart gets a new rhythm, your soul feels replenished and your whole being is content. In a world where we do everything expeditiously with singular focus and pressure to compete. Two separate souls who are trying to find completion. For some reason they just can't seem to fit in place. Whether due to time or circumstance. Will they be able to trust the process or will they keep tempting fate until it changes course.

The title in itself is unique. As I stated amongst our people Black Love is almost obsolete. Reading these characters and what they experienced on their quest to love. Reminded me why our men are top of the food chain. Take for example Khali whose mother is a recent widower and how as the oldest. He took it upon himself to feel the gap in with his younger siblings who need him now more than ever. You see the love that he has for her shows the love he will have for his future Queen.

Inside this book you find yourself able to identify with people who are on our everyday struggle. Sometimes you feel uncertainty, the struggle to survive in a one minded world, the ability to have your soul moved and mind opened with art. You are given lessons in our true history which the author makes relevant to our present story.

You really don't know what to expect upon first glance. Then you are introduced to your first character and become hooked page after page. I love the fact that there was poetry interspersed into the story.  Also how the women and men in this book were supportive and not being called out their name especially in a time where people wear any derogatory name as a badge of honor while balking at being called Kings and Queens"

This story was fun, entertaining as well as soothing for our souls and you can check it out by clicking the link below:

Book review for Solomon By: Mopain Taylor

This title is categorized as Christian fiction but I catergorize it as Urban Fiction with christian undertones. At first glance you expect it to be full of religion. I mean the title implies it. But I promise you where this author takes you will be unexpected but have you totally transfixed and hanging on to your seat. It is action packed and drama filled. You can guess all you want but the Author will throw curveball after curveball and that kept me reading

Character Breakdown

Solomon- He is a preacher of a mega church, that is also just a man that struggles with human things. He has problems in his home, wayward children and his flesh calls. The war he faces is relatable but when his past comes to confront him. You will find that the war has come to reconcile itself. To know that your journey to self and all that you strive to become. Takes no precedence over the man you need to become once again. Especially for the sake of family.

Naomi- She is his first lady but she is not perfect. Her demons have taken hold of her soul. As much as she tries to drown them out with drugs. These things consume her life, mind and heart. If only she could lay her burdens down. She may be able to overcome her demons.

Joseph- Life as a PK(preacher's kid) is definitely filled with it's own obstacles. The streets know him as cutthroat. This 19 year-old menace is a king in these streets. His father doesn't understand how he came out this way after being raised in a god-fearing home. You see while the ministry was calling his father, the streets had already started raising him. He can't see himself slowimg down and that may just be his downfall

Imani- She is 21 and living what she feels is her best life. She has no time to concern herself with her Mega Church father or her troubled mother. She makes her own rules and that is just how it goes. Especially when she knows she doesn't belong. She is the best kept secret with secrets of her own.

Story From My Perspective

Initially when I began reading I felt as thought it would be you modern day church tell. You know one rife with scandal, affairs, stealing and etc. Well chile, let me tell you firsthand, that ain't how none of this goes.

You meet Solomon and you relate to the heaviness on his mind and heart. He has a drug addicted wife, a daughter who exposes her flesh to strangers and a son who sells more drugs than Mc Donald's sells burgers. How can he lead his flock when his sheep seem to all have gone astray?

Until one day he is confronted with his past. A past that he left to find his better self. One that he chose to leave but, has now come calling him to return. But how will he explain these secrets or the façade he portrays to a family that only knows him in this light? How does he tell them its about to get dark? Or that he is the storm that will blot out the sun.

Naomi a beautiful woman not only in body but in spirit. You judge her initially because she is a first lady and she is doing drugs. Until you see that the pressure finally burst her pipes. See she has been keeping a secret from her whole family. One that could possibly upset her families whole foundation. That is why she chooses to take the pain away, the only way she knows how.

Joseph makes his own rules and although he is the youngest. His street credibility makes him super grown. He has been putting in work and no one can tell him nothing. His father being a preacher makes him soft in his eyes. While he was out there spreading the gospel the streets was raising him into an unstoppable savage. The only thing is he may not know everything there is to this life. Because his enemies are closer than he thinks.

Imani is a young beauty who knows she is the shit. She is a headline stripper and model. Everyone treats her like a baby but on that stage she is all grown. Not even having a nationally known preacher for a father stops the rush that she gets from being the center of attention. Her family thinks her naive but she knows what they think she is ignorant to. That is why she keeps secrets of her own. Her secrets will ensure that she gets the last laugh and puts herself on top.

This family I tell you is full of more than dysfunction. It's as if everyone lives their separate truths and creates this unreal reality that doesn't help the family as a whole. What they fail to realize is that honesty is the best policy. It's the one thing that could actually save them from the twisted web of deceit that will come to wrap this family in mayhem, mistrust and disloyalty. You can check out this amazing author on this journey that is sure not to disappoint. Be sure to #Download #Review and then come back to discuss this story with me

Review for Blasphemy: No Religion by: Brookelynn Crenshaw

This uban novella packed a mean punch in very few words. The scenes take you on a whirlwind of emotions and it will have you like damn "She cold as ice".

Character Breakdown

Blasphemy- He is a hustler with a well put together team. He is making it shake in Baltimore. His team sees no weakness in him. But his weakness is not known until it is to late.

Kamali- She is seductive, exotic and erotic. She knows exactly who she is but prides herself on being a chameleon. Everyone underestimates her. That is until she shows them that she is a boss.

Story From My Perspective

This story starts off reading like your typical boy meets girl, falls in love and the end. That is what you think until the sinister and devious plans begin to take form. You start out sympathizing with Kamali thinking she is a damsel in distress. Then when Blasphemy comes in to rescue her you see how she is a wolfs in sheeps clothing.

Blasphemy falls in love and feels like she is the greatest thing to ever happen to him. She seems to be upgrading his life and he is enamored. He would never think that the very thing he holds dear to him would be the one thing that costs him everything.

I was so shocked by how this story took all these twists and turns. For me it was unfolding so fast. When the plot was revealed it was like damn that was crazy. How did nobody see that coming? I wanted this to be a full novel and hopes she considers it *hint, hint*. Take this ride by downloading this action packed novella below. And be sure to come back here so we can discuss your thoughts

Review for Married To The Community D by: Mz. Biggs

The title of this urban fiction definitely implies that somebody ain't right. What you would assume would be a simple story of a man just spreading it thin is far from what this joy ride actually becomes. You jump head first into a drama that will have your jaw on the floor and you clutching your pearls.

Character Breakdown

Nova- He fine and he knows it, with the swag to match. He has all the ladies thinking he is God's gift to women when he is just a f*ck boi with good D. He thinks himself important but his secrets are going to be what knocks him down a few notches

Patience- Self-Aware, successful, no non-sense and beautiful. Her only flaw is realizing she married a f*ck boi to late. She tried to be patient with her husband but when she sees he is for everybody she just finally breaks.

Story From My Perspective

Nova is a modern day Cassanova. His days are full of busting down weak women and forgetting that he actually took vows with someone. You can tell that he has control issues. Typically control is used for a purpose but he is just someone who loves the power trip. From his interactions with his slides you will see, that he has no respect, fears no backlash and is comfortable taking his pleasure even it it causes them displeasure. Its sick to see, how he breaks them down mentally to keep them in-line. The only thing is his wife ain't with the shits. He knows what goes on for the women on the side don't fly with his wife and that leaves him not knowing how to get her in line.

Patience gave her husband the benefit of the doubt. She knows by his actions that he has to be into somethings she won't like. She never went looking for his indescretions but when they walk up on her in the grocery store. She can no longer ignore that her husband is really "The Community D". This sets her on a path to show him better than she can tell him. When a woman's fed up nothing you do or say will move her heart

When shit hits the fan and Parience decides Nova is no longer welcome in her world. Nova can't accept that she would just walk away. When he tries to strong arm his wife into staying with him he finds out that she is six types of crazy and he got her twelve ways to fucked up.

My reaction to this awesome read was "Lawd Today". I mean from the beginning I was shocked at how disgusting Nova was as a husband and all I could think was throw the whole dude away. He earned my instant hate and that has only ever happened a few times before in my life as a reader. The thing that struck me was the deeper issue of how some men just can't help themselves because sex is over sensationalized it has really become an addiction. Patience for me gets my highest honor because she just was not here for it. She didn't allow her face to be played in and there was no extreme she didn't go through to make sure He understood she would not take or accept anything he was giving her laying down. Watching their drama left me with the questions Will he break her down? Will she continue to stand her ground? What secrets will come out next?

Review of Married To the Streets And You by: KB Cole

You walk into a world where nothing is as it seems. Its funny how life intersects and you have no idea what will come once all paths cross. What you think you knew, has no place when these truths start getting revealed.

Character Breakdown

Terray- He has always been known as the dedicated church boy. He is a husband "Allegedly" to Anais and he was always known for routine. His life was bland until he was introduced to a life of crime during his tenure as prison warden. To go from in the shadows to now being the man on top. Has caused a power trip that makes him feel invincible. When he starts trying to step on toes of men who really do this. The question remains will he be able to stand once that pressure hits his chest.

Anais- She is a wife, Loving Daughter, Doctor and dedicated to the life placed before her. Afraid to face that her marriage is in trouble because she was raised to believe that marriage was forever. She is docile with a immer strength she didn't know was in her until she has to face some hard truths about the reality she calls life.

Cyren- You can just call him "Daddy". His swag is befittitting a young, self-made rich savage. He is Loyal to those closest to his heart. He is a husband who doesn't allow himself to get caught up in the hoes who fall in love with the fame. He has a high set of principals that he adheres to. But with his life, comes many problems. After almost losing his life he will come to know just who is rocking and who is against him.

Laniece- She is the wife to Cyren a man who owns these streets. Loving him should be easy but the saying "if you want a man to provide for you, expect to have a busy man" is a reality that has become hard to accept. It is in that point she finds herself unfulfilled in a life that is glamorous on the outside but leaves her empty and looking for whats missing.

Story from my perspective

Terray no matter how you slice him is a bastard seed devil spawn. He is a selfish man who is good at hiding his evil. You feel for a beautiful flower like Anais because you know that such poison can only wilt her petals. You can see how he manipulates those around him. He has everyone believing he is the big man on campus. One thing about a fraud, their hands will eventually be shown.

Anais can feel the change in her husband but she does not see what he is, until it literally slaps her in the face. Once she knows she can't unknow. When she takes a stand for her rights she actually ends up losing more than she bargained for. She is then left to ask was it all really worth it in the end.

Cyren is good at eliminating threats. When he has a chance meeting with the beautiful Anais that results in his life being saved. He is grateful for the angelic stranger. That is until he realizes that she is the wife of his newest threat(one he doesn't take seriously nut a threat is a threat none the less) and he has to figure out if this is coincidence or just an unfortunate play by fate.

Laniece has more than any girl could ask for and it is still not enough. She doesn't know how to make her husband see that this life is nothing without a man to truly share it with. It is that thinking that takes her from standing ten toes down to becoming the type of problem she never thought she would be.

The emotions in this book were raw and uncut. The same breath I laughed with, in the next moment had me boohooing like a baby. This author wrote a story that really hit home on a lot of issues like sleeping with the enemy or being ungrateful for the small blessings until it is to late. I related with these characters and actually took a moment after the book ended to contemplate my life and my journey to myself and that to me is what a good book does. It makes you look deeper at the message and relate it to yourself.

Review of The Real Mistress of Atlanta By Yatta Rose

This Urban Fiction is right out the gate shenanigans. The name implies messiness and chile it gets filthy. All in a days work of Lyric Township as she causes heads to roll and wives to gag.

Character Breakdown

Lyric- She is more than your husbands best kept secret. She is a complex woman whose love is fluent. She is a hustler and her assets are her best selling point. She is daring and unashamed and does not cower when folks are whispering behind her back. Holding her head high she owns who she is and offers no apologies.

Story from my perspective

You enter the world of Lyric Township and on the surface you see a whore who has made a comfortable living by becoming the willing side chick to married men. It was so easy intially to be judgemental because no one can ever sympathize with a homewrecker. I won't lie I was judging the main character before I even delved deeper between the lines. When I read along a little more I was shocked by the emotions I truly felt.

What I saw was a young girl lost. A women who had been objectified for her beauty but judged for capitalizing off of it. I saw someone just wanting to be loved and not trusting that someone will look over her past.

She had a lot of deep seated issues. Issues that caused her to be estranged from her family, befriend a secret hater but even more than that when she finally gives love a try it causes her more pain than anything she ever experienced before. The way she used her body as a means to feel close to that elusive thing called love. Was indicative of a cry out for help, that will have you trying to just hug her through the pages.

This author gave a perfect story centered around this one character. It was the first time I read a book where only one person was involved in every aspect of the book. It made me relate to Lyric on an intimate level. Made me feel like every high and low was personal. You can find out what happens to a woman who sought love in all the wrong places, until it finds her and turns her world upside down when you click the link below:

Review of Key To The Streets: Kallie & Kahli Hustle Affair By: Alicia Howard

Meet a young man thrown into a life that he only glimpsed growing up. But, When his uncle is murdered it left him with giant shoes to fill and streets to supply.

Charcter Breakdown

Kahli (Pronounced Kah-lil it's a St.Louis thing)- Young and intelligent and is the new "Key to the streets". He was prepped for this life but never thought the day would come so soon he would have to step into the role. He is business minded with a lotta bit of savage. He has a legacy to continue and with a team like his he can't fail because the streets are depending on him.

Kallie- She is fiesty and unapologetic blame it on her Afro-Boriqua roots. Born to parents who rode hard in the streets but also lost their lives to them. She was sheltered because he Mema didn't want the streets to take her too. She is all grown up now and trying to find her way in a life that could swallow her whole.

Story from my perspective

My first thought when I started reading was, damn we gone come right out the gate with the goofy ish. But it was the appropriate set up for the title. Kahli had to grow up in a moment after watching his only support syatem draw his last breath. Not before giving him something that would undoubtedly change his life.

He was once a spectator but now he is the prime time special. He doesn't know what to do anymore. His Uncle was his everything and now that he is gone what will become of his broken heart? He feels a bit lost and he has his doubts but with a right hand man like J-Wild backing him no questions asked he feels ready to take on the world. In order to get things shaking he must head to New York to prepare for an epic takeover.

In New York Kallie is not here for anybody's BS. Overworked, underpaid and missing her Mema. Kallie has to make some real life decisions. When the opportunity arises for her take on the life that her parents once lived. She finds out her inner savage was just underneath the surface and she finds it an "honor" to be in this position.

What happens when two young savages meet one another and love comes into play? The better question is will they be able to navigate a world full of snakes, a past comeback to present and secrets, secrets and more secrets. Find out by clicking the link below and grabbing your copy.


Sidebar: I felt that this Author wrote from such a gutter standpoint. I can honestly tell you I got mad at points because I never knew what angle she was gonna come from. That is so not common now and days where most literature have the same scenarios. I can honestly say I was shocked and she should still #ReviveMyBae lol.
