Synopsis

A woman lets herself go and finally does something wrong. Down on his luck, a man tries to do something right. For both, the consequences are as surprising as they are rewarding in two tales of lost souls by two rising stars in contemporary African-American fiction. "Nightmare in Paradise" by Mary Monroe Good-looking and as dutiful a wife as she is a devoted friend, reserved and respectful Renee Webb always does the right thing. So when she gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to let her hair down on a Caribbean vacation with her uninhibited friend Inez, Renee is more than ready to let go. But the sun-splashed isle of Paraiso is not what it seems, and Renee finds out that doing the wrong thing—a sizzling night of pleasure with a sexy stranger—might cost her more than she ever imagined … "Bad Luck Shadow" by Victor McGlothin Bad luck's been shadowing handsome Baltimore Floyd ever since he hopped a train out of New York City. On the run from some of Harlem's baddest hitmen, Baltimore's luck takes a turn for the worse after he murders a big-time white businessman and gets thrown off the train in Kansas City. Alone and on the lam, Baltimore's got only one shot to get out alive—the biggest heist in KC's history. Lucky for him, Henry Taylor's got his back, and he'll have to use every trick he knows to save Baltimore from going down for good …

Goodreads review by Tamyka on June 28, 2021

4 for Mary Monroe’s story and 3 for the other one. The other one was a struggle and I had a lot of stop and restarts. I didn’t get interested in the story or felt like it got going until chapter 10.......more

Goodreads review by Kendall on March 17, 2011

Sorrow for not giving this a higher review, I started with high expectations. The characters are just too dysfunctional--and it ways the authors don't really give us a good excuse for--for me to invest in them or to bring forth my sympathy.......more

Mary Monroe took a while to get to the point. But damn, dude really did her dirty. Another reason why I fear marriage. Victor Mcglothin cracked me up in his action packed novel. I absolutely love Baltimore Floyd !......more
