Secrets of a Kept Woman

Great reading and cant wait to read the second part!!!

This drama series will have you holding your breath while asking yourself what the what? I actually saw Shani Greene-Dowdell stage play first hand so I knew this book was going to be all of that and more. I cant wait to see what this talented author comes up with next! I gave this book 5 stars easily and would have given it more if possible...

oh my god this book was so well worth it the way she did what she did and how it proof that women are mens backbone and u dont realize it untill that backbone is gone simply amazing

Such an easy read. Once I started, I couldnt put it down! I cant wait to read the next book!

after drying my eyes, i can now write a review...i understood this book on a more personal level b/c i am also a kept woman...its sad that people can always claim what theyll do when in certain situations...but the truth of the matter is you never know until youre in those shoes...i know its just a book but these are real life issues that some women go through...instead of judging, lend an ear or send up a prayer for that persons strength... and no i am not family nor friend of the author but i enjoyed this book...i really appreciate the fact that shayla took the high road...sometimes we have to pick and choose our battles wisely...definitely looking forward to this authors next book

Seies ended to soon. It made crave more. Very good read I highly recommend it if you havent already done so.

This is a awesome book I had quick reading books until I read this one Im going to get her next book its a must-read

I really enjoyed reading Secrets of a Kept Woman 1. Once I started reading it I couldnt put it down. I cant wait to see what happens in part 2.

A three star rating due to typos. An all in all enjoyable read. Unexpected ending but everyone gets what is coming to them!

Well you have three ladies that known each other as teens. They hung out together and even one of the three moved in with anothers family. Fast forward to adults. Now you have the unhappy wife who cant figure out why her husband doesnt spend more time with her. Doing whatever she can to try and gain back what she thought they had in the beginning. Then you have the battered housewife. So beaten down that it takes an encounter with a past lover to give her the strength to deal with her current situation as opposed to accepting it. Finally the betrayer. She is the main attraction to this book in my opinion. She grows up in her best friends home as a teen just to betray her in one of the worst ways as an adult. The best part is that she doesnt see what is wrong with what she does and to her so-called bestfriend. She makes you feel that enemies can be anyone. Dont trust your friends and dont tell them everything because in the end, they may covet what you have. Jealousy runs deep and the author demonstrated that with the betrayer. Love the play on words with the title of the book. As I kept reading it, made me wonder who really was the kept woman. I would recommend this to a friend because I found it a good read. It held my attention. One of the characters I am not sure what she really brought to the story. She felt a little out of place to me. The storyline with the pool guy was considered unbelievable to some reviewers but I think the author just chose not to elaborate on his part in the unhappy wifes life. Maybe the author felt the other characters were enough for this story. It was explained away later in the end that she kept in touch with him even though the author kept that from readers. Being that this is fiction, I can accept that some things are not explained. Otherwise, I will read a biography and to me those are boring. Take a chance and read it. You may have a different opinion.
