Summary: Sex on a whole 'nother level
Review:
Rashaun Jones and Andria Jackson are at the epicenter of a major sex "shake down" in Michael Presley's "Black Funk II: No Regrets, No Apologies." They must fight to save their love as the cold hard streets of New York City provide a backdrop to their struggle over black love. Rashaun, a high powered defense attorney, is fighting one of the biggest cases of his career. He's also in the fight of his love life because his ex-girlfriend, Yvonne, is the prosecuting attorney in the major case and determined to win him back at all costs. Andria is trying her best to fight off a shady old lover, Paul, who is using every conceivable venue to gain back the love of the beautiful social worker. The whole idea and definition of "black funk" is something crucial to the storyline that the reader must discover for his or herself. Without giving away the plot, Rashaun is trying desperately to save his best friend from a long prison sentence for taking part in "black funk."

Presley does a good job of differentiating between the numerous characters that make up "Black Funk." The grammar errors were annoying at times, but Presley's socially conscious message at various points in the novel often overshadowed those glitches in the story, hence my rating. I would recommend this book to readers who love a good, dramatic story that will leave you wanting more.

Summary: Blackfunk II: No Regrets / No Apologiesby Michael Presley
Review: The book I am reviewing is Michael Presley's "Black Funk II: No Regrets, No Apologies." This book tells how people must fight to save their loved ones in the streets of New York City and how they have to struggle over their feelings of love. One of the main characters named Rashaun is a defense attorney, and he is fighting one of the biggest cases of his life. He is trying to keep his friend Tyrone from doing life in prison. I liked the book because it reminds me of something that happened in my life and other people as well. This book kept me reading and wanting more. I really enjoyed part two just as much as part one. I can't wait until I buy BlackFunk III. I recommend this book to people ages 15 and older. It is a really interesting and remarkable book. Thank you for reading my review.

Summary: It ain't no joke!
Review: Black Funk: void of light and containing the smell of fear, perpetuated by a peculiar fascination and is said to have been manifested out of the oppressive African American history. So sets the stage to Michael Presley's Blackfunk series.

In Blackfunk I, we were introduced to a social worker named Andria Jackson who has been cheated on and lied to and who had just about given up on men and herself. She meets lawyer Rashaun Jones, who himself has issues with women and finds difficulty in trusting. As they maneuver their way through their relationship a tragedy appropriately named Blackfunk occurs changing the course of their lives and their love.

Enter in Blackfunk II, where we find that their road, though still being travels together, gets no easier for this couple. Rashaun is in the court case of his life defending one of his best friends. His client's sister is in active pursuit ignoring the fact that he is with Andria and with that not being enough, he is forced to face his ex-girlfriend, the one woman that changed his life forever, in the courtroom. Andria, also having her cross to bear, faces serious health issues that could have an effect on their relationship, she struggles to deal with her friends' indiscretions, infidelities, and ultimate death, and her ex- boyfriend seeming will do anything to get her back. This is the perfect stage for all the drama to unfold.

Michael Presley has an amazing way of telling a story that is in your face and wild. This sequel picked up where he left off in Blackfunk I and kept it coming. The language is raw and the situations are over the top but not unrealistic. However unlike the first one, he seemingly tried to incorporate a number of themes in this and in some places there was an obvious change of focus that interrupted the flow. However, although I like Blackfunk better, I have no problem recommending this book to those who are strong in mind and disposition because make no mistake, Blackfunk II ain't no joke.
