Player Haters (Thorndike Press Large Print African American Series)

Summary: For the player and the haters...
Review: Carl Weber has done it again! Carl did a great job of picking characters out of his Married Men novel to write this book. While I was hoping to see more characters pop up from Married Men, I was not dissatisfied with the novel at all. One minute I was laughing and other times I was shocked and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The ending will definitely shock you and make you want more. I was really feeling these characters. Carl did a wonderful job with keeping you on a rollercoaster ride with what would happen next. He also did a wonderful job writing three character's stories simultaneously and holding your attention to each story. While I think Married Men was better, I would still HIGHLY recommend this book. You won't be disappointed. This is definitely a one day read.

Summary: More Stars Please!
Review: Carl Weber showed out! He really knows how to dramatize a story. I read this book in 2 days. I don't want to give the book away because this is the kind of book you don't want to know about so you can enjoy all of the surprises. Everything about the story was good. It is kind of about trouble in the lives of Wil, Trent, and Melanie who are all related. Its just drama, like in Baby Momma Drama. Carl has a hell of a mind. I love his writing style. Read it for yourself. You definitely won't be disappointed.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: I finished this book in Two Days! I loved it. Carl did his thang! My favorite person of the book was Trent. I knew that he was a bad guy, but he was smooth as hell. And the end threw me for a loop, but I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it. Wil, was wrong to tell his new co-worker anything about his home front. That is how mess gets started in the first place. Mel, she was cool, but a little slow. You never tell all your business to your best friend about a man that you are so head over hills for until you know you have a solid relationship with. Cause Dez wasn't Sh*t!. I loved the drama and Can't wait til the next. Thank you for doing You!

Summary: Player Haters
Review: I LOVE Carl Weber's books. I love his style, and the way he puts some much needed drama in everything he writes.
The only thing I didn't like about this book was the title. It's a little too played out and cliche, but that's neither here nor there.

PLAYER HATERS is the story of the Duncan family. Wil, Trent and Melanie Duncan are close as siblings should be, standing by each other and helping to resolve each one's issues.

Wil loves his wife Diane, but she has been keeping a secret and turning away from him, leaving Wil to suspect only the worst from his wife. When his new temp secretary, Mimi comes in, Wil may turn to her for what he feels he is missing from Diane.
Trent, Melanie and Wil's playboy brother, is a scheming, and low down dirty ladies man. And boy do the ladies LOVE him. He has the charm, and swagger of a man who can talk the panties off a nun. But that charm won't get him out of the predicament of having someone's life on his shoulders. He needs to grow up fast, and take care of the son he has been denying before he loses everything he has.
Melanie has met the man of her dreams in Prince. He is attentive, romantic, and not to mention HANDSOME. She sees Prince in her future, and thinks he is the one for her. The problem is, someone very close to her thinks the same thing. If this person can't have Prince to herself, then she will make sure Melanie can't either.

Summary: hmmm sounds familiar
Review: It seems weird. As I read this book I thought do I know these guys. The book had so many twists and turns I couldn't sleep afterwards.

Summary: 2 1/2 stars for this below-average story
Review: Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find this book memorable or well-written. My biggest issue is that there were too many "main" characters and not enough depth on any of them. The ending was ridiculous and did not match with the lighthearted and comical tone of the rest of the novel. Had it not been for the strange ending, I may have given this book a better rating.

I'm glad to see authors like Carl Weber writing books targeted for African American readers and addressing issues that we deal with in romantic relationships, but his writing is a bit too sensational to me. It's a little "Ricki Lake" when I'm looking for something more "Oprah Winfrey".

Summary: Trent----What A Man, What a Man
Review: So you think you know the definition of a player, well I think you will change your mind once you read this novel written by Carl Weber. He takes us further into the lives of the Duncans, the family we grew to love from his previous novel, Married Men.
The Duncans are a unique family complete with sibling rivalry, heartbreaks, and family secrets. The siblings are Will, Melanie, and the biggest playa of them all, Trent Duncan.

Trent finds out that one of his exes claims that he is the father of the child. But the child didn't look like him when he was born, plus his ex had been getting her a little sumptin sumptin on the side.

Watch how this smooth operator lures the women in and makes them feel real special. But the biggest thrill is to watch this player in action. Remember the movie, How to be A Player starring Bill Bellamy, well, Bill would be a trainee under Trent.

Go ahead read the book, I guarantee you will finish it in one day. I know this reader did. If you ain't scared, I dare you to pick it up, playa'.

Review: The ending was not what I expected so much so that I was hurting myself laughing. I had to email Carl Weber and tell him about himself. Smile. Read this book. I was not disappointed.
