A Woman Scorned

Paperback Image

Deja: "If he wants to be with her, it's simply because she's new. He doesn't love her. He can't possibly love her. He might think that he does, but that's his body talking. His mind and heart belong to me."

Mark: "My thing is this, we have a lot of small problems that have evolved into big problems in our marriage...This was an affair; it was just an affair, a fling that I could stop at any minute."

Mercedes: "I feel bad that I have to steal another woman's man but let's face it, there aren't a lot of good black men out there which means some of us have monogamy, some of us have to share, and some us have to take what it is we want. I want Mark."

The seven-year itch came rather quickly to the marriage of Mark and Deja Gamble. Only three years into marital bliss, Mark gets an itch. The sexy siren Mercedes, Deja's co-worker and nemesis, seems to be the perfect person to help Mark with his itch. But Deja is no fool. She knows something is up with her man. As both women play tug-a-war with Mark, which woman will prevail? Who will be a woman scorned?

Erotic urban author Darrin Lowery continues to up the ante with his latest release. First, he spaces his book just right, alternating narratives between the three parties. Second, Lowery's characters come to life including a cameo by Chicago's favorite bartender, Adrienne. Third, he seems to have good insight into the female mind, particularly that of a mistress. And finally, although Lowery steers his plot toward an end that readers see coming, he does so in a way that's appealing and leaves readers glued to the pages. Darrin Lowery, one of AA fiction's most underrated yet powerful writers, is as talented as they come. You want drama? You want sex? You want fascinating characters? You want a good story? Darrin is the man for the job.
