Summary: Drama Time
Review: Are you ready to read a page turning literary soap opera? Do you enjoy reading drama, suspense, and romance that don't always have a happy ending? Then I invite you to read DIVORCE HIM, MARRY ME by Darrin Lowery-Smith.The story centers on Derrick, a 35 year old social worker enrolled in college pursuing his master's degree and who has a crush on his classmate Rose. He fantasizes about her all the time. Rose is a 47 year old married school teacher who admires Derrick from a distance. Rose's husband, Michael, a police officer, is intimidated by her decision to go back to college which causes tension between them. Derrick and Rose become friends and although there is a mutual attraction, age difference notwithstanding, Rose has no intention of being unfaithful to her husband of 27 years. Realizing the latter, Derrick develops a romantic relationship with Stephanie who is a single mother with a teenage son. Fate intervenes and Rose learns that her husband has been having an affair with her white classmate, Karen. Unfortunately, Karen has several skeletons that are soon revealed in a very cunning way. Stephanie's son's father suddenly appears on the scene and decides he wants things the way they use to be, not mentioning the fact that he has been married to another woman for 14 years. The primary and secondary characters come face to face with their individual dramas and realize that it's not easy severing ties. What happens next can be compared to a piñata filled with suspense, lies, manipulation, violence, murder, eroticism and psychotic behaviors. The aftermath brings out intense actions and decisions that will affect people's lives forever. The storyline was original and much effort was put into giving the reader a unique fast paced novel. I think it was even too fast paced for the author because there were character mix-ups in a couple of areas. However, it did not negatively impact the storyline because the layout of the events allowed you to realize whom the author was referencing. Mr. Darrin Lowery-Smith developed a great plot and the story inscribes his ability to incorporate explanations of his characters' behavioral patterns and the reasons for their choices. DIVORCE HIM, MARRY ME is a good novel for readers who enjoy drama, romance, and surprise endings with a twist. Reviewed by Kalaani

Summary: An Erotic Thriller for real!
Review: I picked up Forbidden. That was my first read by the author and I was blown away by it. I then picked up his other book called Down Low, Double Life and was blown away by that book also. The sex scenes were off the chain! After that, I had to pick this joint up. This was his first character novel and it turns out that this one had more erotica in it than the last two. THEN, after reading the books I was surprised that they are connected. They are not sequels to one another, but the characters overlap. That was cool. The bartender is the same in all three books, she gives the lead character in each book updates on other lead characters. I messed up by reading the books in the wrong order. The only reason I don't give this book five stars is because of the typos. The storyline is off the hook. There is something for the women as well as the men as far as being an entertaining read. The author promises a sequel in each one. I'm waiting for them.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This book is an erotic thriller that reads like a suspense novel. The story is based in Chicago and reminds me of another great African American Writer from Chicago. There is divorce, betrayal, murder, love, lust...you name it. It is almost like the
black version of fatal attraction. If you like Zane, EJD or Michael Baisden, you will love this book. It's a quick and easy read

Summary: Drama, Drama, Drama
Review: This book was a never ending soap opera read with a lot of twists and turns. Just when you think you have it figured out who is going to be with whom, another turn is added to the story. It was suspenseful and the love scenes were artfully written. It was very insighftful and captivating to the very end. Great start and a greater ending. I am now a DLS fan.

Summary: Black Fatal Attraction!
Review: This book will make men think about fooling around with another woman. This book reminds me of the movie, "Fatal Attraction." The second edition is better than the first addition, and the characters are off the hook. The erotic scenes remind me of Zane and the story line is like an action packed drama. I read that Darrin Lowery Smith is shopping this story as a play. I can't wait to see it. The book takes off within the first ten pages and keeps the reader hooked. I am waiting for the sequel. Looks like Chicago has another great African American Writer.

Review: This is a fabulous publication filled with exciting twists and turns in the lives of its characters. When we get caught up in the ugliness of betrayal and deceit, we lose our minds. What about those electrifying attractions and those magical sexual encounters, can we really walk away from them? When is the price too high? Find out! This is a must read!
