Summary: WHOA!
Review:
MICHAEL BAISDEN IS THE TRUTH!!

This is the third book that I have read of his, and all three of them was FIRE!! His books just keep me turning the page, and I can never put his books down. This one just threw me off guard, because the title wasn't what I expected from the book. But I loved the book regardless. Makes you just hate some females, and feel bad for some dudes. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Baisden Does It Again!!
Review: Author extraordinaire has done it again. His new book "God's Gift To Women" takes one night of passion and pushes the envelope OFF the table...beyond "Fatal Attraction". This suspenseful tale introduces the reader to Julian Payne - an up and coming Radio Host who gets his big break at a Houston radio station. His ratings are through the roof due to his profound advice on relationships. He is also a reformed womanizer and single parent. You will never forget Olivia - a sexy, hazel eyed woman with a dark side. If you have ever met a Player...you will relate to Eddie - a bold womanizer with a live-in girlfriend. Terri - A Good Woman. Most people can relate to Denise - A Good Woman dating a No Good Man. There are some other characters that help to propel this drama along.

This page turner will have you in suspense as one night of passion turns into Julian's worst nightmare. You think you know...but you have to read this because you are in for a bigger thrill than you know. The nightmare includes murder, poetry, kidnapping and a lot of relationship wisdom. Who is willing to pay the price for their sins? Which woman will realize that time is the most valuable thing and should not be wasted on players? Will the men who think they are God's Gift To Women take heed from this book?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thin Line Revisited
Review: God's Gift To Women explores the familiar theme of a scorned woman's wrath. Trouble is, Olivia Brown, bearer of a serious fatal attraction, hasn't been scorned, she's just plain crazy. Baisden cleverly juxtaposes two situations: nice guy/dog and good girl/lunatic witch. The main character, Julian Payne is honorable, but like most men, if you hand it to him on a silver platter, he's going to have the feast of a lifetime. Olivia claims that she's a big girl who wants and can handle a steamy one night stand. Right.

Dog and good girl traits are put on display by Julian's best friend, Eddie and Dr. Terri Ross. Eddie's problem is he's not a harmless lovable dog, say a cocker spaniel; he's good looking, but he'll hurt you before you know what's happened, sort of like a chow. The way that he breaks his engagement is too cruel. Eddie's character cries out for someone to stop him before he hurts again. Terri is everywoman after a love affair gone bad, she's afraid to give herself again. Her character is cool, but she's a bit too ghettofied in the workplace. (See page 77).

This book ought to be recommended reading for single men. It's an entertaining, creepy reminder that if you dance, you've got to pay.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suspenseful, Sexual & Shocking
Review: God's Gift to Women is the tale of what happens when a man thinks with the wrong head & pays a serious price for it. I've read all of Mr. Baisden's books and seen his video seminars and I kept asking myself "now how much of this is based on him"? Like the character, he is well-known in the world of radio & like the character, he proclaims to know ALL about women and relationships. You can tell in certain statements "Julian" makes that he is breaking down what men want in women. Not hatin' on the brotha at all. He's writing about what he has experienced or seen, I'm sure.

GGTW is a true page-turner and will have you on the edge of your seat (especially the final confrontation) This woman Oliva was truly sick & just goes to show you that looks can cover up so much. There were some parts of the story that I couldn't quite understand though. Like how his daughter could so willingly trust Ms. Randall, or like another reviewer pointed out, how Denise could stay with Eddie for THREE YEARS. Ok. Its only fiction, but still...

There were ALOT of typos in this novel & that can be very distracting for readers. I hope the next book is edited closer. GGTW would be a huge blockbuster if put on the big screen and Mr. Baisden should consider putting it out there. I can see Ving Raimes or Vivica Fox in the lead roles with lets see...Robin Givens as the "psycho b---" Olivia. lol. Or how about Vanessa Williams? Ok. Let me close. Overall, GGTW is an engaging story filled with high drama and an incredible climax.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DID NOT LIKE
Review: I did not like this book. It started off slow and gets even slower in the middle. It was a good story line though. Just was not written well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another terrific page-turner
Review: I read this book in a lil over a day. It is unbelievable. This man here has a gift. Just like his other books, I was hooked from start to finish. It's similar to A Thin Line Between Love and Hate in some ways. It's definitely worth checking out.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WoW!!!
Review: I really liked this book, I could not put it down. The author did a great job of focusing on the main parts causing there to be no down time. My first by this author and it wont be my last. A++

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael Baisden is the man!!!
Review: I'm not going to give a synopsis of the book, because other people have done that already. What I will say is that this brother has done it again, and I must say that every book he writes I go buy. That's saying enough. Go purchase it and enjoy!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: God's Gift Needs an Editor!
Review: I've read plenty of books in my 48 years, and maybe that is why I'm attuned to fine writing that flows evenly. I did not find this one to be so smooth. Toward the end, I found the writing to be quite...well, choppy and juvenile. Doesn't Simon and Schuster employ editors anymore to review a book before it goes to print? If so, why were so many punctuation and sentence errors allowed to pass muster? I am not a Language Arts teacher, but for heaven's sake, any student could spot the many careless mistakes someone allowed to slip by, starting with the prologue on page 5 in the second to last paragraph. The entire book is written in the 'first person' except for chapter 33. What's up with that? As I was reading, I had to pause and consider who 'Julian' WAS, because up to that point, JULIAN WAS TELLING THE STORY and was referred to as 'I'. I can't believe many other intelligent readers didn't catch that! Shame on you publishers for not seeing that the final product was proofread and properly critiqued. This book was lent to me and I doubt that I would ever purchase a novel by Michael Baisden. I might read another one, but my money won't leave my hands.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Bad Boy Does It Again...
Review: Michael Baisden has done it again with this page-turning novel. God's Gift to women is about a man named Julian who makes the wrong move when he has a one night stand with a women who is not at all what she seems. She is craaaazy, deraaanged.
Julian learns a hard lesson from that one night of passion, as well as suffering some serious consequences. This is a book that you will NOT want to end. It's full of suspense and will keep you up all night.
