In My Father's House

De: E. Lynn Harris

Narrado por: Phil John

For his final series, New York Times best-selling author E. Lynn Harris introduced Bentley L. Dean, owner of the hottest modeling agency in Miami's sexy South Beach.

Only the world's most beautiful models make the roster of Picture Perfect Modeling agency, and they only do shoots for the most elite photographers and magazines. They are fashionista royalty - and the owners, Bentley L. Dean and his beautiful partner Alexandra, know it. But even Picture Perfect isn't immune from hard times; so when Sterling Sneed, a rich, celebrity party planner promises to pay a ridiculously high fee for some models, Bentley finds he can't refuse. Even though the job is not exactly a photo shoot, Bentley agrees to supply 15 gorgeous models as eye candy for an "A" list party - to look good, be charming and, well, entertain the guests. They don't have to do anything they don't want to, but....

His models are pros, and he figures they can handle the pressure - until one drops out and Bentley asks his protégé Jah, a beautiful kid who Bentley treats as if he were his own son, to substitute. Suddenly, the stakes are much higher, particularly when Jah falls in love with the hottest African American movie star in America. Seth Sinclair is very handsome, very famous, and very married - and his closeted gay life makes him very dangerous as well. Can Bentley's fatherly guidance save Jah from making a fatal mistake?

There has to be a Part 2

I love E. Lynn Harris books and this was no different. I liked that Bentley grew up learning to help those less fortunate and to treat people equally no matter their status. Bentley's modeling business is struggling until he takes a job suppling models to a well known millionaire that runs a secret society. Things get crazy from here, dragging his friend Jah along the way. Will Bentley be able to save Jah from the clutches of these dangerous men? The book left so many unanswered questions that makes me wonder was there a second book?

Definitely a page turner

I enjoyed the story. It kept me guessing. The narration was bad but if you speed it up to 1.2 it’s tolerable. The end seemed so abrupt. I thought something was wrong or that I’d find a part 2. Just like all of Harris’ books, it’s worth a read/listen.

Just ok

This book could have went so many different ways. I was disappointed in the ending. The title really doesn’t reflect anything about the book. Too many irrelevant characters.

Fore The Narrator!

Couldn’t get past first 3 mins. Narrator did nothing and too much at the same time. I listen to my books while driving. I had to have my radio on max just to hear him whispering and dragging all is “s” more than a Queer As Folk season.

Horrible Narration

When I tell you that thing narrator made this listen not good AT all. He sounded so unsure about what he was reading and it kept throwing my listen off.
Not a E. Lynn Harris fan, but I wanted to support this black author.

Pretty good

I usually love W. Lynn's work but the narration really affected my experience. There were too many breaks and pauses in the narration. Also, everything felt like a question. The book felt unfinished.

Well i have to say this was a very serious book

This book taught alot about how today's world really is, and how important it is to know your worth. It was very on point...

Something is missing

I have enjoyed E.Lynn Harris's work forbyears..however there is something missing.and Shared the deal with the unanswered questions,like Who was Bentley"s mothers boyfriend..we're these people ever caught??

E. LYNN ALWAYS DELIVERED

I accidentally came across this novel and was so excited for “new” E. Lynn. I have read everything he released and it was a pleasure witnessing him grow in his craft. His books opened up an entirely new world for me, even when I was too young to be reading them. This one did NOT disappoint. If it’s your first time reading his novels you’re in the best position. Go find the rest of his work and enjoy!

In My Father House

Very interesting storyline that the title caught me but this book was nothing what I thought the title meant! Normally I don’t read these types of books but it had a good message of thing we black peoples has a hard time accepting if it not the way we feel God’s instructions of a male and female! Just because u are different doesn’t means u are bad because u love the same sex! Judgement is no for any of us to become! IJS RealtalkHelene!
