National best-selling author Keith Lee Johnson enjoyed breakout success for his novel Little Black Girl Lost. Now Johnson introduces Nelson Kennard, a former number-one NBA draft pick who blew his chance at the big time - and is about to lose the best thing that's ever happened to him, sexy school teacher Parris Stalls. Soon-to-be-dissed Nelson may have been a playa back in the day, but there's always another baller waiting in the wings.

This is one of the best listens I've heard in months. Keith Lee Johnson really lets you get into the story from a man's point of view. I couldn't stop listening; the characters are crazy and there's DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA!!! Loved it.

What made the experience of listening to Red Hot the most enjoyable?

I loved the characters and the fact that it had factual events i.e. the passing of Whitney, which made the store seem more real.

What other book might you compare Red Hot to and why?

The other Strong Family books....they're all RED HOT!!! LOL

What about Shari Peele’s performance did you like?

She always does a great job!

Desdimona Green has been the name on everyone’s lips in Blink, Texas. Twenty-five years ago, at the age of 18, she shot and killed one of Blink’s wealthiest men, a pillar of the community, oil baron Julian Gatewood. The Gatewood family was considered untouchable, so the whole state of Texas was rocked to its core over Julian’s murder. But people were even more shocked to discover that Desi was Julian’s daughter and that her mother had been his lover for years.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It was a serious page turner that had more twists & turns, dips & flips than the newest rollercoaster at Six Flags Great Adventure....

What did you like best about this story?

That it tells the truth on what lies & secrets can do to relationships.

What does Soozi Cheyenne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She makes the characters come to life...Great job Soozi!

Nationally best-selling author Niobia Bryant lays down smooth and sexy fiction for her adoring fans. Here, four friends must deal with a shocking betrayal from within their group. Jaime, Renee, Aria, and Jessa have stuck together through it all. But the group is stunned when Jessa texts the other three a confession regarding an affair with someone’s husband—and she won’t reveal whose man she’s been sleeping with.

What does Soozi Cheyenne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If you could rename Message from a Mistress, what would you call it?

It took me awhile to get thru this reading. I'm not sure if it was the storyline or the narrator which was surprising since I usually love Ezra Knight's voice. So, we'll just go with the storyline...it kind of just dragged out. However, the twist at the end was refreshing.

Winner of the African American Literary Award for Fiction, Essence® best-selling author Victoria Christopher Murray delivers a cautionary tale about debt and the dangers of an overly tempting offer. Married at 17, Adam and Evia Langston have worked their way up from rags to riches. But as they are enjoying all the trappings of their success, a financial downturn leaves them teetering on the brink of disaster. And that’s when Evia’s boss makes the Langstons a fivemillion dollar offer they can’t refuse.

I loved the story about Adam & Evia which I found out their names had a symbolic meaning. Although Evia's actions really started grating my nerves after a while...the old saying "be careful what you wish for" definitely applies. I also enjoyed the way the author "snuck in" a moral to the story - very clever. It would be nice if there was a continuation or part 2.

New York Times best-selling author Carl Weber and award-winning novelist Eric Pete team up to deliver the first in a much-anticipated new trilogy. The Family Business features two times the heat, two times the fun, and two times the drama as the members of an unforgettable family (not to mention their lovers and hangers-on) find their way in and out of trouble. As their many fans will attest, Weber and Pete share a talent for penning juicy fiction that their audience can’t get enough of.

Essence best-selling authors of Love Don’t Live Here Anymore, the husband/wife team of Chiles and Millner use a dramatic “he said, she said” approach in a novel that carries listeners right into the hearts of two lifelong friends. Aaron and Nina grew up on the same street and have been best buddies for 25 years. Now they wonder if they might ruin their relationship if they make room in it for passion and romance.

The story started out great giving you an insider's look into the beginnings of a long time relationship between two friends who eventually became a couple...However, the craziness between the two of them, although comical, seemed very dysfunctional. Although it wasn't the worse story, it certainly could've used some help with the ending...It just kind of left you hanging.
