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.

WOW! I finished Home Wrecker in 1 day. I could not put this book down until I got to the last page. It was good to finally read a different angle of a story from this author. I can't wait for the next one.

From the moment I began reading the 1st chapter, I knew I was going to be hooked. The flow of the story is sharp & fast-paced & just super intriguing from start to finish. There are some unexpected plot twists which makes for an all around exciting read!
Oh, & I can totally visualize this on the big screen, it would really translate into a fabulous movie!

Lisette, thanks to daddy dearest, realized that her budding body yielded men speechless. When her unremitting control issues alter her career path, Lisette uncovers a fulfilling void that she never knew existed. Lisette's new job involves destroying powerful marriages. While Lisette is no saint, she enjoys helping these women put themselves back together again.

It's been three flourishing years. An unidentified caller is interested in Lisette's discreet services. Unfortunately, her case is unlike any of the others and she doesn't like the diagnosis. Is it an offer that Lisette can afford to refuse? Beaten and broken, she will have to fight to maintain the one with the power. Does she have the tenacity to do so?

HOME WRECKER by Dwayne S. Joseph was a powerful, entrancing read that I couldn't put down! I was a little skeptical, because I'd read some of Dwayne's work and it just wasn't the type of writing I enjoyed. However, after speaking to La Jill Hunt, who kept saying HOME WRECKER was a must-read, I added it to my shelf. Glad I listened and I hope that we'll get another peek soon.

i read the story... and honestly it was just one of those books you started and you were just going to finish it... i did not feel like she was a home-wrecker... she was getting paid to "break up" homes that were already broken... i feel like the arthur made the story very unrealistic as well... the characters were not developed enough and it wasn't a strong enough story line...

Once again Dwayne Joseph captivated me with his work. It has been awhile since I have not been able to put a book down, but Mr. Joseph had me from page one on this one! Definately a must read! If you don't have it go pick it up!

Lisette has an unusual career...working for desperate wealthy, wives who seek her help as a last resort to get out of their marriages. Her services cost a pretty penny but those who've hired her say she's worth every penny!
Due to the dangerous nature of her job clients are sworn to secrecy to protect themselves as well as Lisette from any harm.
You could call her a vigilante of sorts with a cool disposition... sexy, calm, and sophisticated. Lisette is always in control... that is until a potential client challenges her and tries to break her down.

A twisted tale with a strong lead character, who for the most part seemed on top of her game. But this author was able to bring out just enough insecurity in the character to really make you want to get deep into her head and see what really makes her tick.

I was disappointed in not meeting more of the husbands and be apart of the initial deception and take down of the clueless husbands. I can just imagine some of the original schemes Lisette would have come up with to trap her prey along with a few more sexy scenes...

Mr. Joseph has crafted an interesting story that is well worth the read!
