Summary: A PLOT TO CALL HOME ABOUT
Review: RM Johnson's latest novel, Dating Games is an exciting plot driven urban novel that is sure to keep readers turning the pages. Johnson successfully manages to intertwine love, family relationships, guns and drugs into an action love thriller.

Dating Games brings you into the world of the Rodgers family. Mother Livvy wants more out of her life than her current job as a nurse's assistant and has a hard time finding and developing meaningful relationships with men. Her twin daughters, Hennessey and Alize are total opposites of each other and each has her own issues with men and relationships that are reflective of her personality. RM brings these characters together with the loves of their lives and creates a story full of suspenseful drama. Livvy battles to rid her life of a toxic sore of a man while trying to preach about good relationships to her daughters. While Hennessey and Alize do find her advice amusing, considering the source, they do come to understand her words of wisdom better after tragedy strikes. Livvy is also forced to take a look at herself in respect to the advice she is dishing out as well as the fragile relationship between her and her daughters.

RM Johnson has drawn well rounded characters that readers can see from the beginning to the end of their dilemmas. Younger readers may be able to identify with the choices of the teenaged daughters and mature readers will be able to sympathize with the journey of Livvy. Even though his straight forward tell-tell style may not give the reader the feeling of being there, his mastery of controlling and driving the plot to a dramatic end will definitely make up for any possible losses.

In Dating Games, RM Johnson shows a highly skilled talent of piecing together a strong plot to create energy and suspense. I highly recommend this novel for readers who enjoy urban love stories with a thriller of a twist.

Summary: RM HAS DONE IT AGAIN
Review: This was an excellent book. The characters were very realistic and the differences between the twins were unique and interesting.

The book kept my attention and needless to say, after Love Frustration, I didn't know it could get better but it has.

Very good read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GHETTO FABOLOUS
Review: This was my first R M Johnson read. And boy was it a heck of a read. I will buy all of his books. The book had me at "twin girls named Hennesey and Alize". R M Johnson really ties all of these characters together. If you want DRAMA this book has lots of it. And a great read for teenage girls. If your looking for fast women, drugs, murder, higher learning, & love, I highly recommend DATING GAMES!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ACTION PACKED, PAGE-TURNING, BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!
Review: Whew, where should I start? I just finished reading the book that has had me going all day. I could NOT put it down no matter how hard I tried. Hennessy and Alize, named afer the liquors that got their mother pregnant, are as different as night and day. Hennessy is intelligent, persevering, hard-working, and goal oriented, so goal oriented that she was granted a scholarship to a medical school. Alize is caught up in her own looks and can think nothing past the fineness of her body and the behind that all men salivate over. She think that life is about ballers and getting paid. Their mother gives Alize an ultimatum to be more responsible or get otu of her house. This made Alize make a decision about what kind of money she would make. The job that she does will not only affect her but everyone around her, and teach us all a moral. To tell anymore about this book woudl give away the storyline, but I have not said HALD of what could be said about this book, because it is worth every cent and you will not be disappointed with this purchase. IT is packed with twists and turns, action, and eveything else that made this the BEST BOOK I've read this year!!!!!!!!
