Secrets of a Kept Woman

I have never wrote a review before but I felt the need to write one for this book. If I could put no stars then I would, because thats how dissatisfied I was with this book. This book actually had the makings to be a wonderful book if the author would stop rambling on and on and on before she gets to the point. It takes so long for the action to begin because the characters are talking to themselves for as much as three pages. I love long books but dont ramble to make the book longer. Get to the point

I enjoyed this book and read it in less than 3 days. There were plenty of twist and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out - something went of track. A few stories were combined and I wasnt sure if it was a love story, a tale of friends or chronicles of a hustler but in the end... It was a good read.

I wish this story was longer. This was a good book. I hope the sequel is good as well.. Cant Wait.....

Title:Secrets Of A Kept Woman By: Shari Greene-Dowdell Publisher: Nayberry Publications Series: Book 1 Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Five Review: Secrets Of A Kept Woman by Shari Greene-Dowdell My Thoughts.... This was definitely one of those reads that once you start reading you will not want to put it down until the end because each chapter will reveal something new. This author knows how to keep your attention presenting the reader a story of three friends from childhood... Shayla, Gladys, and Rhonda were the whole package of secrets, betrayals, jealousy, mistrust, infidelity and deceit that will bring out much drama in this urban fiction read. I will have to add to this list of characters above characters ...Shayla husband, Titus and Gladys husband, James and still there will be a few others on trip. How everyone fits in you will just have to pick up the well written novel to see how well this author brings it all out to the readers. Each of these characters will have their own story[especially the women. You will be left wondering how could a friend not see what they are doing is wrong. You just dont treat a best friend like that! Then, as the story moves on you have a battered housewife and then a unhappy wife who has trouble with keeping her husbands interest at home with her. Be ready for a read of physical and emotional abuse as this story progresses along and will have you shaking your head about that one particular friendship. I liked how this author brought out to the reader maybe its not a good thing to tell all of your business even to a best friend because it may come back to bite you in the butt in the end ...definitely a message that will make you wonder. Will there be more of this journey to come from this author? YES!

I couldnt put this book down. I just kept thinking ooh if that was me it would be going down, my best friend and husband would be toast!

I must admit, Shayla was getting on my freaking nerves at times! She ended up getting her act together though which made me happy. Titus had some nerve!! This was a great read with a good ending. Definitely not your typical hood story either! Ill be reading more from this author. :)

Seies ended to soon. It made crave more. Very good read I highly recommend it if you havent already done so.

Title: Secrets of A Kept woman Author: Shani Greene-Dowdell Publisher: Imperial Publishing House; 2 edition Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating; Four Review: Secrets Of A Kept Woman by Shani Greene-Dowdell My Speculation: My, my, my when it comes to what a best friend will do to you was what this story was all about! Poor Shayla had a real mess on her hands, and she finally figures it all out. How could Titus treat Shayla like this with her best friend, Rhonda? Thank goodness Shayla had someone that was there for her when she needed it. It will be useful to see how this story will all end because I am sure there will be more to come from these three people, Shayla, Titus, and Rhonda, in part 2 of this read.

Shani Greene-Dowdell has another hit on her hands. An excellent page-turner with absorbing plots and surprise endings. Filled with shocking behavior, lust, romance, deceit and betrayal, all the trimmings that make for a great novel. The author reminds us that no one really knows what goes on behind locked doors in an upscale community, and not all that glitters is necessarily gold.

awesome read! Read it in two hours!
