This is the image for kindle, nook and paperback, order today!

Regina Holiday is looking for love. She thought the logical place to look was within her church with heartthrob, Derrick Brooks. That is until he announces his own nuptials at their church hours after they were last intimate. To make matters worse her unemployment has run out and she has yet to find a new job after a year of searching.

Reggie Howard returns to his hometown of Chicago from Hawaii to help the Chicago office stay afloat in a failing economy. Although he has no time for love, he falls head over heels with a certain Chicago Police officer who has a smile that makes a man warm all over.

Officer Alicia Goorskey meets Reggie at a neo-soul club and for the first time, she’s met a man with all the qualities she’s looking for in a man. Reggie it seems has more redeeming qualities than Officer Goorskeys husband who’s white.

Thomas Anthony Young can’t seem to shake thoughts of his ex, Tiffany out of his head. Although she’s married, he wants her back at all costs. In order to get back on his feet, his frat brother Reggie offers him a job as his replacement in the Chicago office.

In a twist of fate, Regina, Thomas, Reggie and Alicia’s lives intertwine. Both women want the same man. Both men want someone else’s wife. In the end someone will be offered condolences while the other will be offered Congratulations.

What Reviewers had to say...

CONGRATULATIONS II was a SUPERB READ. Just as good as pt.1, if not BETTER. With returning CHARACTERS, as well as new ones. Read it in 1 sitting, could'nt put my KINDLE DOWN. REGINA had SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES, so GLAD she realized her SELF-WORTH. I'm DEFINITELY CHEERING for REGGIE and REGINA'S RELATIONSHIP, but an INCIDENT, REGGIE might call it an ACCIDENT, with ALICIA may comeback and bite him in the butt. ALICIA realized she had a GOOD MAN in MATT, but is it TOO LATE? THOMAS is now DIVORCED and wants TIFFANY back, the one he PLAYED and HURT REAL BAD in pt.1. TIFFANY'S married, and her husband is being very DECEITFUL. Will THOMAS Get his TRUE LOVE BACK? Can't wait for CONGRATULATIONS III RELEASE DATE. I KNOW EVERYTHING will UNFOLD, come FULL CIRCLE, and all our QUESTIONS will be ANSWERED with more DRAMA than the previous 2. I'm HOOKED on this SERIES. DARRIN LOWERY YOU DID YOUR THING. I LOVED this BOOK & DEFINITELY RECOMMEND..............................................


This might be his best work yet! I'm not an avid reader and for me to read a novel from cover to cover, it as to grab me at page one. Well this storyline sucked me in immediately and didnt let me go. Some parts were so shocking, I read them more than once. This story only solidifies the talent of this author. Good job Darrin.


Okay now I am really hooked on this author wow! This sequel to Congratulations is too much! If you read no other author this winter get these books and read them. When I say you will literally be on the edge of your seat you will end this book saying please hurry and finish #3! I am so impressed with this author I am just blown away by his writing style and I read a lot! He is by far one of my new favorite authors. I am a fan for life and as he writes I will be reading. Excellent job Darrin Lowery keep it up and hurry with the next book I must know what happens to the characters in this series.


Why isn't it me?

Call up ring once; hang up the phone to let me know you made it home. Don't want anything to be wrong with my part time lover.
Regina Holiday, beautiful, thick sistah in lust with Derrick Brooks, smooth as silk and sexy as hell. But he belongs to someone else. Regina wants so bad to have a man of her own, one that loves her for more than what their eyes see, and he must be Christian. Well, at least trying to be.
But when Regina is fed up with this sneaking and hiding their doing, she wants to call it quits but she can't stay away from this chocolate dream. One Sunday as she attends service to somewhat atone for her lustful ways; she's hit in the face with a reality that rocks her to her core!
Will Regina be able to recover and accept her defeat and move on, or is there someone else just for her waiting around the corner?
As new and old characters emerge and take us on a journey. Will they find chaos or love? Will secrets be their downfall? Will Regina continue her lustful actions or will situations push her to the edge?
Find out as Congratulations II takes us on a ride that will blow you away!
Nice work Darrin, your characters stories took on a life of their own. Their struggles, triumphs and fears, could be anyone we know. It kept me involved and immersed until the end. Now, I need CIII to hurry up and be finished.
