Summary: love story with real people working on real problems
Review: It is good to read a book that so honestly deals with love between men (who make love, rather than have sex). It feels 'real', deals with blood and sweat people. Written with passion and kindness. Highly recommended.

Summary: Left Me Wantin More
Review: James Earl Hardy has done it once again. He left us with another tasty drop of Pooquie and Little Bit's love. I truly love this book. It gave me a chance to understand Raheim's thoughts, parallel to Mitchell's laid back demeanor. Mr. Hardy has definitely blessed us with these two positive characters, and I hope he gives us many more.

Summary: "THE 2nd TIME AROUND" was not as good as the 1st.
Review: Maybe I wasn't as gripped as I was with B-BOY BLUES, but THE 2nd TIME AROUND did have it's good points. Rahiem's love for his son and his devotion to his true love kept the story in place. I was glad to be on the inside track as Rahiem began to go upscale with his modeling career, but to tell the truth, even with all the juicy secrets and backstory, his character didn't have the same appeal without his other half. Still, one truly enjoyable ride.

Summary: THANKS, BRUTHA, 4 TELLIN MY STORY
Review: My friend gave me this book to read and said, "You will love it and hate it at the same time." And he was right. I LOVE this book because it is about me. I am just like this Brutha in the story, Raheim: boy from da hood, grew up with a single mother, has a son (mine is three). We both chocolate drops, six feet, but I'm more muscular, maxin out at 240 pounds. The writer, Hardy, really gives you the low down on Bruthaz on the down low like me, who don't be livin life as punks but kick it with other Bruthaz. It's like Hardy been followin me around all my life -- he got the story, the events, the people, the language we use down. I was laughin a lot and I even was tearin up a little.But I hate this book cuz its makin me face some things about myself I don't wanna face and deal with how I'm feelin for my friend. He and I been tight for like eight months and I guess I love him. But I ain't never been in this spot before, so it's kinda hard to handle, to tuff out. But I guess I gotta thank Hardy for makin me come to this pointsee what I gotta do. I ain't never thought somebody would write a book about a Brutha like me but they did. I'm gonna pick up the first one now but ain't no way its gonna top this. If you wanna know how Bruthaz who ain't into that lifestyle really live, this is the book to read

Summary: My least favorite of the 5
Review: Really, this book ain't all that bad, but it appealed to me the least of all of the series so far. I honestly couldn't put my finger on what disappointed me so much. I did enjoy the look into his past, but after reading it twice, I am still left with no desire to read it again. At first, I thought it was Pooquie's narration that annoyed me, but after reading the 4th novel in the series, I ruled that out. My suggestion would be that all fans of the first novel definitely read this one, but only so they can better understand the 3rd novel. Don't get your hopes up over liking this one, but definitely don't avoid it.

Summary: Raheim just irks me but I'm lovin that man.
Review: This and Bboy blues are my favorite books.. I also have to admit that this is the first Gay book I read and i was quite taken by it. there's a lot of conflict which interests the reader, and it beautilly entices the reader to want to know what's gonna happen next.Raheim and Little Bit make a good couple, vry mature.. very REALISTIC! and I think this is great, I love it.. the front cover is beautiful, great job!

Summary: 2nd Time Around
Review: This book was very well written. James Hardy shows a passion that I have not seen in writers in a long time. JEH writes of a love story that is so familiar to any sexual preference. Pooquie really comes alive in this book. He is an intelligent, loving, and profound man. Little Bit is just the man that Pooquie needs to encourage him, love him, and make everything jood. My hat's off to Mr. Hardy for a book of magnificent love!
