Filthy and Very Disappointing Ending!!

I'll be fair and say this book kept me wanting to hurry and get to the end so I could find out whose husband was the cheater! I couldn't wait for it all to come together and make sense at the end. Needless to say, I never found out. After having to listen to an overwhelming amount of very graphic "love" scenes that seemed to take up the majority of the book (and yes, I like a "love" scene EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE but this was ridiculous), the author leaves us hanging in the end. I got to the point where I'd roll my eyes when ANOTHER love scene started up. I would speed through it just so I could hear more of the actual story. When the narrator said "The End" at the end of the book I wanted to throw my phone out the window b/c I was so mad I'd sat through the entire book waiting to find out who did it in the end. This would have been a much better book if it would have had some closure. But you are left wondering with no real clues even to help you guess. Ughhh...very mad. And I feel like I need a shower to wash away all the filth.

Good until the end

The narrator of this book is awesome, I enjoyed the storyline until it left me hanging at the end.

Not a very creative writer

How many times do you use the word "huskily"? I found it incredibly annoying.

And I'm starting to get annoyed with black writers playing emphasis on the same things: skin complexion, long hair, and the constant mention of brands.

The story idea is interesting but the ending is a let down.

It was good.

What did you like best about Message from a Mistress? What did you like least?

This story got better as it went on. At first...I was kinda into it but kept listening cause I wanted to know who's husband it was. Then as it slowly got better the end left me hanging cause I had to find out what was next...so I quickly purchased the second book.

Any additional comments?

This story goes up and down, up and down. Meaning it slow for a minute....then it's good....then slow again...then you like OMG, this is good. Overall good story...but don't be surprise it you start like..."ok, not sure if I'm gonna like this."

I would definitely take Jackson to dinner. He sounds sexy as hell!

Perfect!

The author keeps you on your feet wondering who? I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

Whoa

Suspenseful Uncut Jesa your day is coming girl, this was a great listen kept me on edge

Mildly entertaining.

The premise of the story had potential, but the author didn't develop the characters and their stories well. Even though it's a series, the ending could have been better crafted-- it was a let down instead of a cliffhanger, it doesn't leave you anticipating the sequel.
