Summary: People Looking for Love.
Review: After meeting Davis McClinton, a self made multimillionaire who owns radio and television stations across the country, Zola Norwood nabs a job as the senior editor of a new hot urban magazine "Bling Bling". Davis, a married man also offered her some sexy perks on the side.
Spinning on the wheels of a failed love affair Raymond Tyler JR moves to New York and also lands a job at the magazine as CEO. Raymond is lonely and still has not gotten over his lost love, but he wants to move on with his life. He tells his therapist "I still want to believe that I can fall in love with someone who would love me only, and that love would be enough to sustain the person when temptations appear". (We all would love to believe that!) Zola is also lonely. She believes the perfect man is hard to find. So in order to shield herself from heartbreak she is seeing three men.
Join Zola and Raymond as they take separate paths to find love in the Big Apple. But their paths collied along the way when secrets and shocking events start to surface. With secondary characters causing much drama, love seems further and further away for each of them. E. Lynn Harris has given us a brilliant and engaging novel, that holds the reader's attention from the beginning to the explosive end.

Summary: I love E. Lynn Harris and his Characters
Review: I loved the way the characters were developed. I honestly did not want to put this book down. I wanted to keep reading about them and their lives. The main characters Raymond and Zola are so real that you feel as if you know them. I really loved this book and I hope others do too.

Summary: Get thePoint....... But not enough drama or revenge!!
Review: Basil basically got what he was instored for having doubts about the so called love he found, and Ms. Yancey having the spoiled girl trouble and the Gold digging mother to cause mayheim, I could have just slapped her myself..... I found the book getting good in the middle when I thought Basil was really going to do some serious PAYBACK!!! But in the end he left just waving a white flag. It could have been better..... That Ms. Ava is a serious headache..... I don't know what happen with Ms. Yancey daugher Madison or the father of the child. "What happens" plots at the end of a story sometimes blows the whole book........

Summary: I loved this book
Review: E.Lynn Harris is like a fine wine, gets better with time. His writing and story telling gets better with each novel he writes. He has re-introduced Raymond Tyler in this story and the breath taking Basil Henderson. Raymond and Trent have called it quits and Trent has moved on leaving Raymond feeling broken. Raymond has decided to move from Seattle to New York. Here in New York, Raymond rekindles feelings for Basil, gains understanding of living one day at a time. High Powered Billionaire Davis is a living legend on paper and in the eyes of the media, but you soon learn that he has some dark secrets that I look forward to reading more about in future writings. Yancy B and her mother (Ava) are back and up to their old tactics that turns critical. Zola is the brains behind "bling bling" but she learns that it is not her brains that has secured her future. E.Lynn Harris has introduced some very interesting characters and he has implemented the real life tragedies of 9-11 into this and it makes it very real and sets the perfect stage for the characters. I know that Raymond is not tilting the scales and has admitted to being "gay" and not "bi-sexual" but the chemistry in this book, made me want him and Zola to hook up and for her to turn him out, and put him back on the straight and narrow and let Basil and Trent and all those other confused brothers see that he is no longer available and let Raymond have a real love of his own. People love Raymond, and his honesty and morals and emotions are very enticing in a world of deception and confusion. I believe that you will thoroughly enjoy this story and will be waiting for more. Kudos to Mr. Harris and I think that his writing has improved one hundred fold.
