All the Women I've Loved

Review: Dislikes: Who sent out the memo that in order to write an African-American fiction novel, you have to say p**sy and c**chie a million times? I can't find a book that doesn't somehow throw that in and it's annoying. This novel was predictable and flat out corny towards the end.

Likes: I LOVE Eric. I LOVE LeBaron too, when he was away from Phoenix. Barbershop humor was all through this book and there was only one scene where they actually were in a barbershop. I wish Harmon had written Barbershop 2, because it wasn't funny like the first one. I cried laughing during every conversation Eric LeBaron and the doctor had (minus the end). These characters remind me so much of Method Man and Redman to the point I'm convinced Redman is Eric and Method Man is LeBaron before Method Man got married.

Summary: A Fear of Commitment
Review: He loves me. He loves me not. Being in love is a wonderful thing. It's great sharing your life with someone and having the support and encouragement of a significant other. The butterflies in your stomach when you see the person or hear the person's voice, or the warm sensation you get when they whisper sweet nothings in your ear. Yeah, being in love is great, but how long is too long to be in a relationship without having a commitment?

In ALL THE WOMEN I'VE LOVED by Byron Harmon we meet LeBaron Brown, a young, successful, and handsome man who has been dating his girlfriend Phoenix Morgan for the past 3 years. Phoenix expects to be proposed to during their 3 year anniversary celebration, but little does she know that is not the case. LeBaron loves how his relationship is going and does contemplate popping the question, but in the end he doesn't. Phoenix is hurt and feels as if she has wasted 3 years of her life, she then dumps LeBaron like a bad habit.

Although LeBaron does want to take his relationship to the next level, he is afraid. In an effort to dig deep into his soul and find out why he is afraid of commitment, he visits a psychotherapist. Dr. Leighton Carter, a well-known relationship expert, has LeBaron recall all of the women he has loved in his past, to try to find out what happened or what's missing to cause his fear of commitment. LeBaron once thought he knew all there was to know about women, but soon finds there is a lot he doesn't know. Can Dr. Carter help LeBaron find the missing link so he can patch up things with Phoenix? Or is it too late and LeBaron realizes the best thing that ever happened to him is gone, and it's all his fault?

ALL THE WOMEN I'VE LOVED by Byron Harmon takes a look inside a man's emotional side. Some may think that men are afraid of commitment because they like being free or living the single life, but this book let's you see that it's alot deeper than that. On the surface men have a tough exterior, but if you look into their hearts and minds, you will see they have fears just like women, and just like our fears can be conquered, theirs can too.

Review: Three years together and their friends asking when, but DC TV executive LeBaron Brown is unable to pop the question to the lovely intelligent Phoenix Morgan. Disappointed since he even told their pals he will soon, Phoenix ends their relationship. Phoenix goes to Paris on business while LeBaron wonders about a French ami?

Not wanting to lose Phoenix yet feeling unready to marry her, LeBaron visits prominent psychotherapist Dr. Leighton Carter to gain wisdom as to when a man is ready to go down the aisle. Under gentle probing, LeBaron responds to Leighton's questions about his adventures on the wild side with a bunch of beautiful women. As he boasts about his notches he realizes that they lacked substance; he wonders if perhaps he is deficient in some sort of way because the beddings were fun yet seem irrelevant. When he rejects the advances of a former fling India, he knows he misses the times outside the boudoir with Phoenix. Will she give him a second chance if he overcomes his commitment phobia and tenders the ring?

This entertaining hunk lit tale provides a delightful story starring a wonderful cast. LeBaron holds the plot together as he comes across as real whether he refuses to commit to Phoenix or relates his past boudoir escapades. Though there has been a recent flood of male feelings novels, ALL THE WOMEN I LOVED is one of the best because it avoids the artificial inanity that grips many of these and their counterpart chick lit books. Instead the deep characterizations make for a fine tale especially observing the metamorphosis of LeBaron from a player to a thoughtful caring individual.

Summary: Hilarity!
Review: Tired of the regular old relationship fiction out there? Then you NEED to read All the Women I've Loved by Byron Harmon. This book is a hilarious and wild ride into the love life of the main character and a true character, LeBaron Brown. Like many men, he has bed his fare share of women but before he can settle down with one woman (his girlfriend Phoenix) he has to evaluate his issues with the opposite sex with the help of a therapist (yes, Black people do need therapy--LOL). This book has some of the funniest scenes I have ever read in a novel, and I truly hope that they make it into a movie. Kudos to Byron Harmon--I'm looking forward to the next book already!
