Summary: Tom, Sybil, Jay better watch out...............
Review: To begin I have a hard time rating this book I give it more like 3 1/2 stars... I will explain the rating at the end of the review. Atlanta Live is a radio talk show. Dr Jasmine, Evelyn and Malone are the commentators. They are not just co-workers, they are friends from way back. Dr. Jasmine is the hard rock, pushed you to the limit and reel you back in personality, gives advice for troubles, but off the show she is falling into darkness because of her extravagant, don't want to go back to where I come from lifestyle. Evelyn is sweet, concerned, caring wish my family could just love me, I am here for you, Christian personality, problem is she is in love with the holier than thou preacher man. Evelyn needs to learn to love herself and stand up and be a WOMAN! Malone is the buff ex jock who is dreaming of a comeback, with the crazy ex wife. Their lives all come to a dramatic jolt when they receive a call from a young woman and Dr J pushes the limits on this call. Jasmine finds her world spinning out of control and she has put herself in a very destructive lifestyle. Malone finds that troubles don't last always, but deceit and heartaches and thinning pockets, he must endure first. Evelyn is betrayed and her secret from her past comes out, and it sets her into a world of despair, but a jolt of reality that you cannot hide, removes the blinders from her eyes and she finds that Love was right in front of her all along. This trio endures more havoac and jealousy, outrage, and the pages turn on their own. I thought this book was glued to my hands. At the same time I couldn't put it down but I also feel like something was missing and that is why I have rated it 3 1/2 stars... Carmen Green is my home girl and a great writer, but I wanted more with Jasmine, not enough background and explanation behind her behavior or the events in her life. I can see a sequel to this book, because Jasmine is a story all alone and her character did not prevail from the obstacles. Also, Carvel I understood he was a preacher, but what is up with this brother? Did he only want Evelyn because of her parents wealth and respect, because I kept thinking that maybe he was tipping out with a church member. How are you going to be a man of God, and still carry judgement on someone you claim to love? Just wanted more. Carmen bring us Jasmines story "Pu.....leeeeeeeezee!!!!

Summary: Too hot to handle
Review: Too hot to handle would describe Dr. Jasmine and the crew of Atlanta Live on 104.9 FM. Atlanta Live is a lively talk show featuring Dr. Jasmine-great dispenser of timely advice, Malone- the straight man who keeps the women in line, and Evelyn- the sweetheart, oh so compassionate one. They are on top of their game, Atlanta loves them, until a phone call comes in that turns their world upside down. Dispensing advice in such humorous quips causes a young pregnant girl to attempt suicide and things begin to spiral out of control. During the course of the novel, we find that Dr. Jasmine really doesn't have all the answers. She is not as well put together as one would believe. Her radio persona and he life don't match up. She causes undo agony for her co hosts who have problems of their own. Their worlds could easily shatter as glass hitting the pavement if they succumb to it. There were many plot twists that kept the pages turning quickly for me. I was engaged in Evelyn's life. Her childhood deeply effected her and made her compassionate. Malone's career and personal problems intrigued me, you never knew where he would turn up and oh Miss Jasmine...take a moment out of your day to pray for her she needs it.
