Trafford intends to devote himself to writing a book entitled From Realism to Reality , which is to be "a pragmatist essay, a sustained attempt to undermine the confidence of all that scholasticism and logic chopping which still lingers like the sequelae of a disease in our University philosophy," while Marjorie intends to devote herself to being "his squaw and body-servant first of all, and then—a mother.

Jul 24, MavLit Publishing rated it it was amazing. Rax's latest work is smart, well conceived, and definitely filled with drama, drama, drama.
There are a couple of characters that should have their heads checked out. I'm sure other readers will agree. Jul 13, Sesheta rated it it was amazing. The story of Anya, Neil, and Mistress Dani continues, also introducing some new and intriguing characters on the scene.
Brothers and Wives
Many of the plots left me on the edge of my seat wondering how the situations would remedy themselves. Some of the traits of the characters are disturbingly real, and will give you chills. Overall, I felt the book was a page tuner that will definitely leave you cheering for Cydney to write yet another installment. I give this book a 5 out of 5 rating!!!

But it is the endless and constant lines of love and lust trailing through the story that forced me to not only keep reading, but will draw me into the other stories of this heated series. This is a jaw-dropping read that will keep you turning pages and shaking your head. Apr 22, Tia rated it did not like it. This book was fucked up.
Black people have way to much drama in their lives if the book is anywhere close to their real lives. Too much swearing, cheating and every other damn thing. This author must be smoking crack.

Her books sounded a bit out there, so I figured I'd give them a try but shoot, I want that hour of my life back. The book was pathetic and the author obviously has morals of an alley cat if she is putting any "personality" into her books. Also the whole marriage thing about being m This book was fucked up. Also the whole marriage thing about being miserable, that's a lie. I've had my quota of retarded authors this year, this one takes the cake. Please give up writing now. View all 3 comments. Jun 11, Kayla Foster rated it really liked it Shelves: In this book Neil gets the ultimate pay back for cheating on his wife.
His baby momma marries his brother! Of course there are plenty other twists and turns in this story and I'm glad to see that Dani is finally worried about her own man and not Anya's. I absolutly loved this book. Dec 31, Teaguem rated it liked it. This is a tale about brothers Neil and Scottie and the woman between them. Dani was Neil's mistress when Anya gave him permission to have one while she experienced a low sex drive due to health issues. Problem is, their affair results in a child being born. Scottie meats Dani at the Meadows family reunion and they are instantly attracted to one another.
Scottie previously carried on an incestuous relationship with his off kilter younger cousin LaNecia. She is obsessed with him but oddly no one s This is a tale about brothers Neil and Scottie and the woman between them. She is obsessed with him but oddly no one seems to overly concerned that they had the affair nor her obsession! Even Dani doesn't really seem fazed. Bottom line is that Dani really takes up with Scottie because she can't have Neil and almost everybody know it in their gut despite what they say or do contrary to that fact.
This is a sequel to My Husband's Girlfriend. Jun 11, Laura Perry rated it really liked it. Dani and Neil still had a little crush on each other and they was so close into having sex with one another. On thanksgiving Scottie had surprise Dani, he paid for her family to vistit on that day and he had propose to her. She hestitated and he stromed out.
