Summary: Needs Better Editing
Review: As an uprising author, I was too disappointed with the errors found in this book. MUST OF is NOT correct among other things. The book was told in first person for 95% of the chapters, why was the chapter where he has a party at his house told in 3rd person???????Plot was okay; a little unbelieveable at times. Michael Baisden and his characters are very arrogant. ....

Summary: Pleasant Read
Review: Ok, I have read all of Michael Baisden's books and they have all been "good". It seens as though in each of his books the main character is Mr. Baisden's altered ego. Which is sometimes not a good thing. Julian character was a good depiction of a man who is hard-working, responsible man who is trying to raise a daughter on his own, unfortunately, I did not like how Julian took very little interest in his daughter, he seemed more focused on his career than his daughters activities. Which ultimately lead to the **Psycho Babe** ruining their lives. There were many typos in this book, and unfortunately, it makes the reading a little rough. I will recommend this book because he did provide a storyline with suspense. -Prosperity

Summary: Mediocre....and I expected much, much more from Michael
Review: God's Gift to Women was a mediocre book with used story lines and content, much of it borrowed from Fatal Attraction starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close. ... There were too many typos, grammatical errors and misspelled names, Yolanda Adams, Hugh Hefner, Steve Francis and Dr. Seuss to name a few. Where are the proofreaders and editors? I hope you fired them. Trinice S. Moses...

Summary: Refreshing and Insightful Page Turner
Review: Although the plot of "God's Gift to Women" has been recyled more times than the cast of "ER", I found it to be completely refreshing and insightful! If you are a thorough reader you were able to pick up on the advice that was being given to women and men. This book speaks to male dogs and their female counter--parts lacking the self-esteem to pull themselves out of the trenches. I have finally learned the painful lesson--MEN CAN ONLY DO TO US THAT WHICH WE ALLOW THEM TO DO!! The part of the book that touched me the most was when Julian gave Lil' Sis the advice about marriage. I wholeheartedly believe what he said was Gospel! I only wish more of us would believe it and step out on faith. When a man is for us--we won't have to beg him to stick around because his purpose will be to add to our happiness. In closing, I leave this quote, "The man who makes you cry is not worth your tears and the one who is won't make you cry."

Summary: Good read, though transparent
Review: This was a good, fast read, quite engaging. This read like Fatal Attraction with Flava! I liked Julian's character. He knows how to love and to commit to raise his daughter. You get a feel that he and Carmen really loved each other. With the exception of Terri, the women were a little shallow, but likeable. I found Olivia's character is way over the top though. She seemed to turn into the Incredible HULK whenever she went off. That two relatively well built men could not have overpowered her seems a bit much to believe (Julian/Eddie). Mitch, on the other hand was probably no match for her. Mitch seemed right out of central casting for the MARTIN show. The tension between Julian and Mitch was just right. Janet Jackson was likeable. Not exactly "corporate," she seems to get her job done. She and Terri are closer than I would think the receptionist and the doctor would be, so that relationship seemed contrived. Sam was a perfect pseudo-bratty little 11 year old Daddy's girl. Li'l Sis's character does work as one of those sisters who try to hook you up no matter what. We all know Eddie. The sex was quite erotic. Unfortunately the author does not realize that there are some differences in the male/female climax, no matter how similar. Two hours around the pool in the rain, yeah Julian, dream on. Seems like the standard of beauty is still the white woman's model -- hazel eyes and long flowing hair. I was amazed that nobody's wig or weave acted up. There were a few sections where I just had laught out loud for a few minutes. The pink panties section and the scene under the table on all fours. I think Michael Baisden borrowed a lot from Fatal Attraction, Martin, Jamie Fox, Stephen King, the parent trap, etc. Great
entertainment. I felt about Julian the way I felt about Michael Douglas - he won't stray again ever again. There is a moral there.

Summary: Great read.....very suspenseful.....great characters
Review: Very good book. I didnt want to put it down. The characters are very well developed. And the erotic love scenes were hot. It was nice to see a strong black man doing the right thing and striving to take the high road. Michael Baisden is the king of giving black men a new more profound face in literature.

Summary: Watch out for that one night stand
Review: WOW!! Is all I could say after I finished this book. Are there really woman out there that crazy. This book starts with the end and then takes over the last year of Julian's life in Houston. He has a one night stand with a friend of a friend who turns out to be the craziest chick on the planet but I have to admit she went to all extremes to get her man. Even though the ground rules of the "relationship" are set out from the beginning Olivia has no plans on letting Julian get away and will do ANYTHING she has to to keep him. She believes in the old saying, If I can't have you, no one can. It's definetly any interesting turn of events. I love the way he drops little clues on you that make you want to go back and read the book again to see how you missed the little clues of what would come next. Once again Michael Baisden has found a way to keep my interst throughout the whole book.

Summary: "God's Gift To Women"
Review: The book is very interesting.A bit predictable by how the first couple of chapters were written but none the less still a good book.The characters were nice and were described in deep detail.
The story was deep and action packed after the first beginning of the end. I liked the way the main character Julian Payne kept straight to the point and spoke his mind with whoever he talked to no matter who it was.Julian Payne was a single father who lived in Houston but was involved with a woman that would change his life for ever.

Summary: A REAL THRILL
Review: Out of all of his books I believe that this is THE BEST ONE YET! He's like aged wine better with time. This book has a great story line, (sometimes a little predictable) but it was still heated, fast, and kept my finger on the next page. It's a lesson learned you play with fire and you may get burned! BEWARE!
