ARC'S REVIEWERS STAGE
Ballerina Booty

Brittany Townsend is an gifted dancer from the south
side of Richmond Va. She is destined for great things.
Though Brittany is the star of TV Show Dance Nation,
her dream is to become a star on Broadway. Brittany is
part of a group of dancers and Ralph is her dance
partner. They work well together and are such good
friends that Ralph kind of takes on the roll of her
protector. Other dancers include Vivienne, Dan,
Dominique, and Rodney. Dominique and Brittany have
been arch enemies since their days at Julliard. The
dance group gets a visit from the hottest choreographer
to hit the scene, Mitchell Londano for auditions to join
his dance group. When the results come in Brittany and
Ralph are the lead with Vivienne and Dan in the 1st
position and Dominique and her partner in 2nd
position. This is not to Dominique's liking as she is a
spoiled brat, who is used to getting her way. Dominique
will do anything to sabotage Brittany. Will she be
successful in her plot to ruin Brittany?

Just when things are starting to look up for Brittany
and her dreams seem within reach, Brittany's married
boss Byron starts wreaking havoc on her life, unable to
take rejection as she has ended their once sexually
relationship. To make matters worse her abusive ex
Brian is released from prison and he wants what once
belonged to him (Brittany). Brittany has fought hard to
overcome the damage Brian has done to her soul and is
trying to keep moving on with the new love of her life
her new dance teacher Mitchell. Brittany also has her
older half sister Cleodeena in her corner to support her
100%. Cleo is the owner of an up and coming hot spot
restaurant `Cleo Class'. We learn quite a bit about Cleo
in the book and she has a story to tell. Tragedy hits the
night of the group's big performance and Brittany ends
up in the hospital with her dream ripped from under
her. Will Brittany persevere thru this tragedy? Will the
culprit be found out? Will Brittany ex Brian cause a
ruckus in her relationship with Mitchell? How does the
gang come out with their leading lady down and out?
Will Cleo and Mitchell be able to help Brittany as her
dream is taken away in a heartbeat or will she push
them away and wallow in misery? Readers receive the
answers to these and many more question as no stone is
left uncovered.

Kudos to Author Loretta Walls for penning a great story
that deals with educated people. It was a pleasure to
read about successful black characters that had good
morals. While I love a great hood story this was a
pleasant surprise. Loretta expresses herself very well. I
tended to get mental picture reading her vivid
descriptions. I love that the fact this book has minimal
cursing in it. The editing is great and the cover is simple
but eye catching; I love the pretty black woman with the
look of determination on her face. Loretta, keep up the
great work and I look forward to reading more of your
work in the future.

Drama- Free Bree...I think not!!!

Newcomer Angel Mechelle brings readers a
sizzling page-turner with her debut novel
"Another Woman's Husband". Main character
Breanna Michaels (Bree) is a single mother of
two young children who is no stranger to
drama. Although she has been through the
wringer and back with her children's fathers and
has moved to Florida for a fresh start, nothing
can prepare her for the antics of her latest love
interest. Not too long after her move, things get
interesting when Bree responds positively to
propositions posed by her neighbor's husband,
Dre. Though she knows it is wrong, Bree
embarks on this relationship that was pretty
much doomed from the start. Not only is Dre
married with children, but Breanna is cordial
with his wife Neecy - and the couple lives right
across the hall!!!

Once the affair is in full swing it doesn't take
long for Bree to see that Dre will NEVER be hers.
Despite revelations involving domestic abuse,
illegitimate children, and drug-abuse, Bree is
"standing by Neecy's man", lol. Her life has
taken on drastic changes, but Bree is certain
that Dre is her soul mate and will not back
down. Neecy is putting up one hell of a fight
and so the saga goes.

I love the cover of this novel and find that there
would be no other title more fitting than the one
Angel designated. At times I wanted to strangle
Bree for the poor choices she made, but that's
the whole idea - creating characters readers
love to hate! I wish some of the situations would
have been omitted in order to provide a more
solid closure, though I am aware of a sequel in
the works. Still, I feel with the tremendous
information provided in this fabulous debut, it
should be a single book. Angel demonstrates
great story telling skills and I without a doubt
look forward to a new story from her.
