Dubious [Paperback]

Tina Brooks McKinney (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 28, 2008

Atlanta's hotshot attorney, Felicia Clark, is bored as hell, deprived of sex, and is watching helplessly as her marriage careens toward divorce court at ninety miles per hour. Her growing feelings for her new client, Sherman Jennings, a handsome and successful software developer, is a distraction that promises to increase the momentum of her emotional free fall. Before Felicia can welcome Sherman into her life with any degree of certainty, she needs time to learn why her husband no longer desires her and is hell-bent on sitting their thirteen-year relationship out with the trash. What Felicia uncovers-cloaked beneath a dark fetish-is a secret so vicious that if it were brought to light, it might literally rip her world to pieces.

I don't even know where to start with this review. When I first started reading the book, I thought I had a feeling where this story was going and wanted to throw it out of the window, but curiosity got the best of me, so I kept it moving and I am glad that I did. Even though it covers some degrading crap, Tina told the story tastefully. I have never read anything like this before and I have read over thousands of books. It was a very daring thing to do, but I got to give props to you Tina, you did a excellent job. I too could not put the book down until I finished it. I just hope that others authors don't try to take this subject matter to another level and truly disgust us readers. I'm just glad that I finished the story before I dismissed Tina Brooks McKinney as one of my favorite authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 Stars - So Original it Deserves its Own Genre, August 26, 2009

This review is from: Dubious (Paperback)

Felicia is a sista that has her stuff together - top notch lawyer, comfy home, fine husband and the world at her finger tips. The only issue is she that her husband hasn't been home for any extended time since opening the kennel about two years ago. When he presents her with an ultimatum concerning the business, she calls his bluff and tells him to hit the road. While separating their assets in the divorce, secrets are uncovered that will not only shock you but will draw you into the story and hold you hostage. The secondary story line is just as incredible and addresses defining sexuality, friendship and finding love in the most unlikely places.

McKinney shows her storytelling talent by creating a storyline is so original that it deserves its own genre. I can honestly say that I've never read anything quite like this. Each page kept me in a state of disbelief. This reviewer will issue a warning that the subject matter is very controversial so keep a open mind while reading. If you are ready to read something totally out of the box, DUBIOUS is a MUST READ.

Let me start by saying I knew before i started reading this novel that i wouldn't be able to put it down and i was right. Felicia thought she had the perfect marriage until it crumbled before her eyes.......now divorced and moving toward something new, now she stumbles upon why her marriage end.............................don't want to give away too much, but check it out i bet you'll understand why and how the drama still continues.

I love Tina's writing, she makes you feel like you're sitting right there with the characters in her story. Keep up the good work.
