Secrets of a Kept Woman

I loved this book. It was easy to pick up and put down then excitedly return to read the occurrences. Fast money = fast losses.

This book definitely reminds you to keep your business to yourself. Sad that the ones you think you can trust are the ones that secretly hate on you and want to be you. This was my first time reading anything by this author and I enjoyed it. Its pretty fast paced so it doesnt linger to the point you become bored. Granted there was one character that did somewhat bore me, but thats because the other 3 characters storyline was more interesting to me and I wanted to know how it turned out. I see its titled Volume 1. Not sure how it can be dragged out into another story, but Im willing to check it out if there is a Volume 2.

Title:Secrets Of A Kept Woman By: Shari Greene-Dowdell Publisher: Nayberry Publications Series: Book 1 Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Five Review: Secrets Of A Kept Woman by Shari Greene-Dowdell My Thoughts.... This was definitely one of those reads that once you start reading you will not want to put it down until the end because each chapter will reveal something new. This author knows how to keep your attention presenting the reader a story of three friends from childhood... Shayla, Gladys, and Rhonda were the whole package of secrets, betrayals, jealousy, mistrust, infidelity and deceit that will bring out much drama in this urban fiction read. I will have to add to this list of characters above characters ...Shayla husband, Titus and Gladys husband, James and still there will be a few others on trip. How everyone fits in you will just have to pick up the well written novel to see how well this author brings it all out to the readers. Each of these characters will have their own story[especially the women. You will be left wondering how could a friend not see what they are doing is wrong. You just dont treat a best friend like that! Then, as the story moves on you have a battered housewife and then a unhappy wife who has trouble with keeping her husbands interest at home with her. Be ready for a read of physical and emotional abuse as this story progresses along and will have you shaking your head about that one particular friendship. I liked how this author brought out to the reader maybe its not a good thing to tell all of your business even to a best friend because it may come back to bite you in the butt in the end ...definitely a message that will make you wonder. Will there be more of this journey to come from this author? YES!

This was a good read full of drama and betrayl. with friends like Rhonda who needs enemies. Shayla and Gladys ended up being strong women. I hope Rhonda scandalous ass gets whats coming to her.

This book couldve been so good but it was rushed in the beginning and dragged in the middle. It was so dragged out and long that i had to skip lots of pages. Many of us readers arent hispanic so didnt get the language written, although sometimes the author translated.

great

The was a little predictable. I will read the second one to see how things work out for the characters

Good book...took an unexpected turn. Great build up & then sudden turn.

What a read! In the end I didnt know if I should scream, cry, shout for joy or get mad. Wow! It was a heavy read. We meet three close friends: Shayla the smart one. Rhonda, the fiery of the bunch and Gladys, the Spanish salsa. They take different roads in life but their sisterhood remains. They have each others backs. Aint that the truth! Or is it? What happens when you throw a man in the mix? Can the invisible line drawn in the sand of sisterhood be crossed to a place of no return? Deep. Titus, a street thug who plays dirty while keeping his hands clean marries the love of his life; Shayla. Oh the bliss. Oh the merriment. Life for the two is perfect. They have all they wanted and more. However, as the years go by Shalay is feeling the distance between her and her husband grow wider. Shed confide in Gladis but she knows that she has enough to worry about what with her marriage barely holding on. She turns to Rhonda. The one with the ears always willing to listening. The one who constantly defends Titus like a brother. Shayla tells her everything. Every fight or disagreement to every intimate detail of their nights of romance. Rhonda never refuses to hear. She is always quick to give advice. What are sisters for? Yet she has her own evil motive. She wants Titus as well as all of what Shayla has. Forget the time Shayla took her in when her own mother kicked her out of the house. Sisterhood doesnt matter in the game of love and war. She is set on ending the marriage with each lingering kiss she plants on Titus skin and with each moment they spend in the adulterous bed filled with sweet roses and their thorns. The secrets of a kept woman is spiced with adultery, betrayal, abuse, and revenge. But in the end a beautiful thing springs forth; strength. The strength to move on and the strength to continue on. When I saw Gladis and Shayla displaying this strength I felt proud having cursed them throughout the read. What can I say, those two were my favourite characters. If anyone deserved some happiness after the smokes cleared it was those two. Dramatastic is how Ill describe Secrets Of A Kept Woman. Trust me it will not leave you bored for a minute. Happy reading! -Chantol Aspinall

Kudos to Shay cause I would have killed Titus and Rhonda! It was a great read though! Hopefully in part two Rhonda loves her child more than she loves Titus!
