Rating:  Summary: Wake Up Call For Women Review: I think that this book was a reality check to alot of women who get so caught up into men, and trying so hard to please them when in actuality you are not happy with yourself. The main character Leslie in this book was with a man who still lived with his wife and child, yet he claimed that they were not together. HE so called loved her but there is no way that a altermatum was the only way that he would decide to leave his wife. I am so glad that at the end she decided not to continue a relationship with someone who was not sure of themselves and what they wanted to be in a relationship. I most definitely dedicate this book to a close friend of mine who lets men decide her happiness.
Rating:  Summary: great debut Review: I thought this was a really good book with the exception of some editing errors. The book is about independant Leslie who is in school, and eager to get her career off the ground. She falls for a much older man with some major baggage is trying to figure out what she should do. Her "cuz" Rachelle is a single mother of three trying to juggle two men, and her life. The book is an easy read, and will hold your interest. Again my only complaint is the editing. In one chapter Rachelle is driving a white toyota, then in another chapter it's a blue Toyota. Then she is driving a blue Plymouth, that turns into a blue Mazda. I hope Hunter Hayes got a much better editor with the next book.

Rating:  Summary: good first one Review: Leslie is a 21 year old virgin, just tryin to find the right man. She meet's Ben a much older guy, who she think might be the one, but has a lot of extra baggage. Rachelle who is Leslie's cousin is also looking for a good man, but she can't seem to get over her ex, plus the much younger guy who's in love with her. I throught the book was funny, and a fast good read about women tryin to find the right one.
Rating:  Summary: great debut Review: Please, don't be fooled by the negative reviews. This was a great book!
Rating:  Summary: What makes for spicy-good reading...... Review: Readers are always asking me if I'm the Independent, statuesque, character named Leslie. I'm not. I fashioned her to be a physical image of me, just because I thought it would be exciting to look like a character in a book. I'm just dramatic in that way. Omar Tyree says his books are faction. Part fact/part fiction. I'd have to second that. Some events may seem very close to real events or people that I've known. But a lot is made up from imagination.. Very made up. It makes for the best kind of reading.... Spicy good reading. Shoes On The Otha' Foot invites you to get to stepping inside the lives of two African-American women entangled in the backdrop of a contemporary brown-stowned Harlem, and a maze of infidelity, Sistahood, and some church. Not just another "Sistah" Story, Shoes' offers a laugh at the practical and the unpredictable, promising a little bit of something that almost everyone can relate to.
Rating:  Summary: More Relationship Drama! Review: Shoe's On The Otha Foot(SOTOF) is yet another relationship novel filled with more of the same, typical storyline. It's the story of Leslie, an independent, spirited 21 year old, who decides against her better judgment to explore her womanhood and lose her virginity to Benjamin, her latest but much older(35 years old) beau. Benjamin seems to be a good BMW until we discover he's living with another woman and his teenage son. Rounding out the cast of central characters is Rachelle, cousin and good friend of Leslie's. Of course, Rachelle has her own drama going on as she is divorced with three kids and is juggling two men at the same time. SOTOF appears to be loosely crafted and as though someone decided to transpose their journal into a novel. The scenes/situations/characters do not offer a fresh perspective or unique storyline. On a positive note, SOTOF tries to present each character with at least some redeeming quality(I walked away liking all of the characters) and the drama did not appear far-fetched or over the top. If you're looking for a book that's an easy, quick read(I read the book in one setting) then this might be the book for you. If you're looking for a storyline with more depth and substance than you might need to search a little further.
Rating:  Summary: Expected Better Review: Sometimes with a little more thought and editing an OK novel can turn into a better novel. I expected better. Leslie, the central character was not developed enough for you to appreciate the situations she encountered, especially dealing with Benjamin, the fine & sexy Construction worker. She meets him, briefly plays strong Sista, hard to get but looses it somewhere along the line when she becomes a tad to comfortable with his reasoning of why he lives his life the way he does. Then there's Rachelle, who does the 180% of Leslie and instead of opening herself up to men decides to finally leave all of that alone and to devote time to herself and God. In turn, she winds up meeting a very Special man without even trying. I personally was more attracted to Rachelle's plight and bootstrapping rise to happiness. I only hope that the author has new insight into devolping her characters in her sophomore attempt. And that maybe she adds a little suspense or mystery to the already exhasted "girl meets boy" theme.
