Synopsis

New York Times best-selling authors E. Lynn Harris and Eric Jerome Dickey, and Blackboard best-selling authors Colin Channer and Marcus Major have joined forces in Got to Be Real, a compilation of fresh, funny, and honest love stories. Each one is a unique look at love in the modern, urban age. Harris' leading man faces one of his greatest fears with a Valentine's gift that could change his life forever. Dickey takes readers on a trip south of the border that leads to a steamy relationship where race and a language barrier creates no deterrent. Jamaica is the hot spot where Channer weaves his titillating tale of people in the music industry. A certified womanizer meets his match in Major's provocative story set in Philadelphia. These four popular African-American writers have put together a treasury of stories that is as sexy and entertaining as it is candid and thought-provoking.

This was a good opportunity to sample the writings of 4 different African American male authors. While I've previously read Harris and Dickey, this is the first time I've read Channer and Major. E.
