More About the Author

Dwayne S. Joseph began his writing career at the age of thirteen. Commandeering his parent's computer, he sat for hours on end creating dramatic stories of fiction that earned him the "best story teller in the Joseph household" moniker. He then went on to win second place in the National Scholastic Writing Competition during his senior year in high school, for a short story he wrote, titled "Playtime" (A story that he does plan to develop into a children's tale someday soon!) The novels at thirteen and the short story in his senior year all helped to propel him on the destined path to becoming a published author at the age of 27, with the release of his first novel The Choices Men Make.

With ten drama-filled novels under his belt, including The Womanizers, Never Say Never, If Your Girl Only Knew, In Too Deep, Til' It's Gone, and short story contributions to four anthology collections, most notably, the Essence best seller, Around The Way Girls, Dwayne has consistently set out to entertain his readers with scenarios and characters that they love and love to hate.

It's all about growth for Mr. Joseph. He strives to grow and improve with each novel because he feels that's what the readers deserve. And that's just what he is determined to do as he is now taking a walk down a much different literary path with the release of his latest two novels, Home Wrecker and Betrayal--darker novels filled with more suspense, more intensity, more violence, more mystery and sex.

With half of his life spent in Brooklyn, New York, the other half spent in Harrisburg, PA, Dwayne now calls Maryland his home where he lives with his wife and three children, where they never fail to wear their New York Giants jerseys every Sunday during the football season! He is currently hard at work on his next novel for 2011!

This review is from: Home Wrecker (Paperback)

Dwayne Joseph introduces readers to a different type of story in Home Wrecker. Marlene knows that her husband, Steve, is having an affair with his secretary. After all, according to Marlene, Steve has sex like he invented it and no one can resist him or his manhood. Marlene wants a divorce but there are complications. Her co-worker, Lisette, comes up with a plan. A deal is made and Lisette makes twenty-five thousand dollars. Marlene gets her divorce with some added perks and Lisette embarks on a lucrative career.

Lisette enjoys her job of helping women get rid of their husbands; until she meets Kyra. Kyra wants to get rid of her husband and out of the prenuptial agreement she signed. There is something about Kyra and the job she wants done that does not appeal to Lisette. When Lisette turns down the offer, Kyra makes threats that Lisette ignores until she is faced with losing all control.

Home Wrecker is sexy and will keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to figure out the next move of Lisette and Kyra - two women who refuse to relinquish their control over any situation. Lisette is arrogant and manipulative and is used to having it all on her terms; and Kyra simply wants what everyone has and then some. Joseph has given readers a sexy mystery that will leave them craving for more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crazy, Sexy, Cool, September 29, 2008

This review is from: Home Wrecker (Paperback)

Lisette is the baddest chick. She is a don diva that will make heads turn from both men and women. As the head buyer at LeVor Fashions making six figures, money is no object. Life was good to her, she didn't expect to make a career change.

One evening winding down after a meeting Lisette's co-worker Marlene is sick and tired of her husband Steve philandering ways. She doesn't have the means of getting the evidence that she seeks to get a divorce. Lisette offers that she has a full proof plan that will put him to shame and Marlene richer than before. A deal is made and twenty-five thousand dollars later, Lisette has new a profound career.

Years later Lisette is still going strong and have made more benjamins than she know what to do with. Her skills are paying the bills. Everything is going good her services are very much in demand, until she gets a mysterious caller who wants to hire Lisette and is not taking no as in option or bad things will start to happen. The question is will Lisette take heed to these warnings? Or will she get what she deserves.

Home Wrecker had a lot of sex appeal. I loved Lisette's character she was in control, it was either her way or no way. This book was a good read that will capture your attention right from the beginning. It was crazy, sexy, cool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Home Run with Homewrecker!!!, September 9, 2008

This review is from: Home Wrecker (Paperback)

Dwayne S Joseph took it to another level with "Home Wrecker". This novel is gritty and rough around the edges, unlike some of his previous novels.
This is the story of Lisette, she lives for power, and loves to be in control. Lisette makes money by using that power to take cheating married men down. Lisette makes 'em weak in the knees and they beg to get a taste of her honey...
Married women pay Lisette extremely well to play the role of a homewrecker. But everyone isn't impressed with Lisette's skills, someone wants to take her down when she doesn't do what they want.
I loved the book, but it was too short and it did not provide enough background info on the characters. Thats why I gave it 4/5 stars. A good read none the less.
