Madison Tyler thought a man like Granville Washington could fulfill her sexual desires and her need for occasional male companionship. And as the owner of a multimillion-dollar multimedia firm, that’s as much as Madison wants or needs right now. Granville is desperate to hold on to Madison. The harder she tries to end contact with him, the harder he fights to stay connected to her. He knows she doesn’t love him the way he loves her - she’s repeatedly said so - but if she takes time to get to know the man behind the muscles, he’s convinced she’ll agree that they’re perfect for each other.

The queen of the street lit genre, De’nesha Diamond pens tales about the toughest ride-or-die chicks ever to roam the streets of the Dirty South. In Street Divas, four powerful women vie for total control of the Memphis hood, and they aren’t about to let past loyalties get in their way. While Lucifer is hitting the streets to get her revenge for a deadly shooting, Essence is hitting the sheets - with her best friend’s man. And Yolanda knows her path to power lies with her baby’s hustler father, but Queen G Leshelle is dead set on keeping this game all to herself.

Would you consider the audio edition of Street Divas to be better than the print version?

I like the audio edition of Street Divas. It moved fast and was well paced. If reading the print, it is possible to sit the book down and not read in between intervals.

What did you like best about this story?

I like how realistic Tashara's response was portrayed after her victimization.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

There were so many well spoken narrators!

If you could rename Street Divas, what would you call it?

I think Street Divas is the appropriate name for this book.......

Any additional comments?

The author does a great job with these street fiction books, and it is nice to see her write so well as a romance noveistl under her real name. Google this author!!

Gangsta Divas puts listeners on the streets of Memphis, where gang wars are heating up thanks to the arrival of dangerous new players - the Cripettes. Ta’shara is planning to knock her sister off her perch and climbing to the top of the game. Qiana’s deal with the devil places her directly in the crosshairs of forces ready to take her out. And Queen G LeShelle’s list of enemies keeps on growing. But for these gangsta divas, it’s all part of the game - one they’re determined to win.

If you could sum up Gangsta Divas in three words, what would they be?

Women with vengeance!

What other book might you compare Gangsta Divas to and why?

Hustlin Divas, Street Divas - both by the same author. All three books was sequenced.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

There were many narrators, and each performed well and realistically.

If you could take any character from Gangsta Divas out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I would take Lucifer out to dinner. While she has angst, she is honest with herself about her feelings. Lucifer has heart; she is ready to defend herself and against the wrongs in life, even when she knows better about what is right and wrong.

Any additional comments?

Great trilogy! I am looking forward to the 4th book!!

Twelve people have been shot at point-blank range and left to rot in the desert sun. It’s Sophia St. Claire’s job to do something about it. She’s Bordertown, Arizona’s new chief of police - and she’s out of her depth. Help arrives in the form of Department 6 hired gun Roderick Guerrero. As far as Sophia’s concerned, his involvement only makes things worse. Maybe he’s managed to turn his life around. And maybe he’s a good investigator.

In Crush, three of today’s hottest romance authors offer tempting tales about crushes that compel women to risk it all for love. In Wanted: You by Lutishia Lovely features a man receiving erotic letters at his place of employment that shock his assistant. In White Mocha by Michele Grant, a woman who’s normally conservative about romance gets all fired up after enjoying an eyeful of a handsome coffee shop owner. And Cydney Rax’s From One Lover to Another stars a woman who shows her badgirl side when her ex refuses to take no for an answer.

All three stories kept the listener interested and all three stories had good endings. Michele Grant's White Mocha pulls to your imagination> Cydney Rax's From One Lover to Another is fun with unexpected twists. Lutishia Lovely's Wanted: You has an unexpected ending.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I am familiar with narrator Corey Allen. All of the narrators did a great job.

The last story was really good. It made me want to listen to it in one setting.
