Widely hailed for her best-selling fiction, no one combines sizzle and sass like Lutishia Lovely. With their soul-food business firing on all cylinders, brothers Malcolm and Toussaint Livingston seem to have the world at their feet. But playboy Toussaint's penchant for risk-taking is often more than not-quite-happily married Malcolm can stomach, and a particularly spicy blend of circumstances is about to turn up the heat to record-setting levels. "A great new taste in the literary world."-Carl Weber

"Lutishia Lovely always has juicy gossip in her books and this one is no different. Ms. Lovely is starting with a new family who owns several Soul Food restaurants in the Atlanta area. There is plenty of drama and I am looking forward to how the Livingston clan plays out in future volumens. "
— Janice (5 out of 5 stars)
" Ms. Lovely, I like that the book flows and is a quick read. However, you know you wrong for having the mama creeping like that. The character Bobby, I was coming to like until he started... well you all who haven't read it will have to because its a "Say What" moment. The sequel so far is good too. "
— Angela, 12/25/2013" Great story! I really like the way she introduced the people who will take center stage (presumably) in the next installment at the end, or else it would be too many people. "
— Bettye, 12/24/2013" I loved this book. The characters were engaging and believable, and the storylines kept me intrigued throughout. I was disappointed when it was over, and that's always a good sign. I can't wait for the sequel 'cause I will definitely be getting it. "
— Jessica, 12/23/2013" I enjoyed this well written urban book. It was refreshing to say the least. I love the detail the author put into the characters. "
— Siobhon, 12/21/2013" The plot, the characters, the settings..... I was in "Bookworm Heaven". Awesome book!!!! The ending was perfect. I did not expect the final twist. Lutishia Lovely has definitely earned her way onto my bookshelf. "
— Christina, 12/19/2013" Easy read with relationship issues throughout. I wanted more character development and for the storyline to focus on a few rather than an entire clan. Lovely has definitely set up another series that many will get into as I'm ready for the next one... "
— Monique, 12/11/2013" The beginning was confusing, the middle was a little boring, but the ending brought it all home. Wanted to give it 3.5 "
— T.M., 12/9/2013" Quick, drama-filled read. I'm looking forward to picking up the next in the series, Mind Your Own Business. "
— Hope, 12/1/2013" It was a story full of family drama with the works: sex, money, scandal. It is a book in a series, and while it made me want to read the other two books, it was not urgent enough for me to want to read them right away. "
— Risha1983, 9/30/2013" Pretty good read. It is the first book I've read by Lovely in an attempt to branch out from the same African-American authors I tend to read on a regular basis. "
— Ivy, 8/18/2013" This is really a good book. There are great twists. This book would make a good mini series. "

— Revae, 3/23/2011Lutishia Lovely burst onto the literary scene with Sex in the Sanctuary and now, more than a dozen books later, hasn’t even thought about slowing down. When not writing contemporary fiction, she lends her muse to her alter-ego, Zuri Day, and writes steamy romances. But all work and no play makes Tish a dull girl, so she knows how to put down the pen and pick up a good time. She loves to hear from readers, so visit her online at LutishiaLovely.com or on Facebook and Twitter @lutishialovely.
