The Enchantress by Allison Hobbs


Synopsis
Eris is a fallen goddess who has been demoted to roam the earth in the guise of a slave. Intending to become the mistress of the plantation, she uses her dark powers to bewitch and sexually enslave her owner, Arthur Stovall. Her plan, however, goes awry and Eris is banished to the dark realm -- the dwelling place for corrupt and depraved souls.

With an uncontrollable desire for vengeance upon the Stovall family, Eris uses trickery to escape this lower dimension. However, two hundred years have passed and settling the score with the plantation master is no longer an option. Undeterred, Eris turns her merciless intentions toward the last descendant of the Stovall line, who happens to be an African-American male, making her road to revenge much more complicated.

Climax by Allison Hobbs


Synopsis
A seductive tale of lust and revenge, The Climax charts the entangled lives of two women -- Terelle and Kai -- who have both suffered irrecoverable losses in their pursuit of Marquise, who is believed to be dead. Kai is in prison, and Terelle suffered from a mental breakdown after losing her fiancé. After two years of catatonia, Terelle is awakened by a sweet and mysterious kiss, and the voice of her lost love.

As Terelle recovers, she clings to the idea that Marquise (who is the father of her child) is still alive and out there, waiting to reunite with her. She goes into grueling rehabilitation in order to find a way back to him, all the while enduring the concern of loved ones, who think she is delusional. At the same time, Kai is jailed for a murder she didn't commit, but that doesn't stop her wanton behavior. Not a day goes by that Kai doesn't plot a wicked revenge on Terelle. Throughout steamy prison encounters, and despite a lifetime sentence, Kai vows that Terelle will never know a moment of peace, so long as she lives.

My Opinion

Body of Evidence The Review....


Synopsis
Panthea Daniels is stunned and devastated when she learns her husband of seven years is having an affair. She visits attorney Marcus Douglas to begin divorce proceedings, but sparks immediately begin to fly between the two. Things take a dramatic and unexpected turn as the two engage in an illicit affair. After receiving pictures of the woman--"It's not everyday that you see your husband's mistress."-- Panthea is arrested and charged with her rival's murder.
The victim, Abril Arrington was involved with several men, and was conning them all out of money- including Panthea's husband Scott. Soon, Marcus is convinced that each man, and not his client turned lover Panthea, have a compelling reason for killing Abril.
But as the investigation continues, Marcus is faced with undeniable facts that leave him questioning everything he know he knew, including whether she's capable of murder!

My Opinion
Now thiz book waz pretty much a who dun it...kinda like a mystery but with a twist....it waz average & definitely a fast read....it did help 2 kno that the characterz were black 2...thatz alwayz a +...lol....Roy Glenn haz written a fleet of bookz, & thiz iz 1 of many n my possession...2 bad i pretty much figured out the plot b4 the end of the book tho...
