Mr. Long has done it again! After reading "The First Person," I knew that I had to hear from this author again. As expected, "Livin' Ain't Easy" was also a great read. I turned each page eagerly, wondering what would happen next. This well written novel is one that you definitely want to purchase.

Livin' Ain't Easy by Peron Long is the ultimate Love tale. I had to rank this book in the category with some of my favorite romance movies (Love & Basketball, Love Jones, and Brown Sugar). Livin' Ain't Easy seemed to represent a real life fairy tale of love. Although the characters were fictional, they were more relatable than the average Disney or animated princess that finds her prince, vice versa. I was Delvin and Simone and through them, I felt what it was like to experience the Agape type love towards another and have it reciprocated.

Livin' Ain't Easy was a lively book and hard to put down. There are parts in the book that everyone could relate to. Some parts made me laughed out loud and other parts made me feel overwhelmed. A must read, you will not be disappointed.

Oh and Watch out, because Livin' Ain't Easy has a very shocking ending.

This review is from: Livin Ain't Easy (Urban Renaissance) (Paperback)

Devlin was sleeping with a married woman named Leslie for 5 years. He thought it was perfect. He had someone to have sex when he needed it. He had quit his teaching job and made and sold educational products. Leslie wanted to be with Devlin after he became wealthy from selling these products. He knew that she only wanted him now because of his money. He wanted something more than her.

Simone Jackson thought she was a lesbian, but not until she was in college. She caught her roommate with another female. She became curious. She later kissed a girl and was blown away by how it felt. She began to wonder after years of being with women, if a man could make her feel the same.

Devlin was supposed to be on Simone's talk show, but they met each other in person before that and they both felt sparks. Simone is there to comfort Devlin when his best friend dies. The women in each of their lives don't like what develops

Devlin was truly a gentleman. He wanted to treat Simone right and not move to fast. I'm glad he realized that his relationship with Leslie was not going anywhere and he needed to find a woman who doesn't want him for his money and will treat him right. Simone was a great woman and really was there for Devlin, unlike Leslie.

I really liked this book and want to read more books by this author!
