Book Description

December 29, 2009
Accustomed to living the high life in Dallas, everything Jewellen Capwell knows about the hood comes from the movies. So when she agrees to accompany her best friend Renee to a Southside ball game, her only concern is keeping her cool around the peeps. She's not there to ogle men like Renee, but the moment Jewel lays eyes on Roman Montgomery, she begins to wonder just what she's been missing. When it comes to men, Jewel's heard it all before, but suddenly it seems like Rome's working from a whole new script . . . Renee Nightingale loves to fall in love. Right now, she's got her sights set on landing a rock from her current main squeeze, Gregory. She's not getting any younger, and she sure isn't going to reach thirty still single. And to ensure no one plays her, she's always got a game going on. So when temptation comes calling in the form of a fine, young man with a chiseled physique, she can't resist-and why should she? What Gregory doesn't know, can't hurt them-or so she thinks . . .

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Grant's scorching debut follows the pursuit of love and happiness for Dallas girls Jewellen Capwell and Renee Nightingale and their possibly very significant others, Roman Montgomery and Gregory Samson. Marriage appears to be the golden goal, but, of course, the path to their respective altars is strewn with obstacles. For Jewell, a North Dallas girl of some privilege, it's her ex-boyfriend and Roman's preference to live in Big D's South Oak Cliff hood close to his clingy ex-wife and his son. Renee and Greg's Achilles heels are their roving eyes, leading to big trouble when each finds someone else to pique their amorous interest. Grant depicts their dilemmas with a pitch-perfect voice, delivering funny yet believable stories embellished with a gusto that readers who enjoy Carl Weber and Mary Monroe will relish. (Jan.)

More About the Author

So, who is Michele Grant?

Michele Grant grew up wanting to be a combination of Maya Angelou, Perry Mason, and Eartha Kitt. Deciding that law books were dusty and boas not practical for everyday wear, she's still clinging to that Maya Angelou dream.

When not laboring away on the keyboard, she can be found trying to channel her "inner B. Smith", growing roses, trying new recipes and wondering if just one more throw pillow works with that sofa?

She has Ella Fitzgerald and Kanye West on the same playlist in her iPod, she's affectionately been given the nickname "Shopping Queen", and there is not a single fall Sunday where her TV isn't tuned in to an NFL game.

Contradictory yet contemporary, Michele sees the humor in all things and shares that with her readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read from start to finish! January 25, 2010
Format:Paperback
When you're a woman of a certain age, it can be difficult to find books that speak to you on your level. I'm not really one for chick lit or urban lit and that's what several contemporary authors are trying to push onto women. At times I feel like writing to the publishing houses, "Stop assuming that we're all 20, or what to be 20, and write to my demographic." Ladies, I'm happy to tell you that newcomer Michele Grant is writing to our demographic and she gets it!

Heard It All Before is the story of the solid middle class suburbanite Jewellen Capewell and her wild child sidekick, Renee Nightingale. While Renee works relationships like a novice checker player, Jewellen works hers like a skilled chess master. But when she meets the handsome Roman Montgomery, a brother with serious game, all bets are off.

I love that the author tells the story from all sides. Unlike some women authors, when her female characters are wrong, they're wrong and Ms. Grant doesn't try to sugar coat it. I absolutely adored this book and devoured it within hours on a Sunday afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relationship 101 Straight Up No Chaser January 27, 2010
Format:Paperback
Loved it! I can't say it enough. This newly published author did it right and I am looking forward to any future books she writes. At one point in the book (during a wedding scene) I was literally brought to tears with laughter. The characters are realistic, varied, interesting and totally open for readers to appreciate. The story focuses around two couples Jewel and Roman and Renee and Gregory, but there are a host of other interesting and varied characters, including family members, ex-loves, friends and even little Chase (Roman's son) that hold the reader's attention. I couldn't put the book down and can honestly say that black folks (male and female) can appreciate this book about love, life and relationships! I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read February 26, 2010
Format:Paperback
If this is how this author debuts I can't wait to see what else she can do. This book was so good. The characters were something else. I really enjoyed this book because it was about grown ups and not a bunch of youngins pretending they know what problems are. Excellent job can't wait to read more.
