Editorial Reviews

Review

THE TOP WORK OF FICTION I HAVE READ THIS YEAR. Central character Kai Edwards a woman that has it together for the most part - finds out that her boyfriend, Todd, has a long time best friend that is a beautiful woman named Alana. Kai comes up with a conniving plan to keep Todd's attention, and the rollercoaster ride begins. The author's debut deals with controversial issues including sex, drug addition, and relationships. This fictional book shows some dubious behaviors by the three main characters and the serious consequences of those behaviors. In the end, there is an underlining message of determination and recovery. This is a good read, with passion and emotion. The dialogue between Kai and the supporting cast of characters has something for everyone, including an ultimate lesson about being true to oneself. It is a hard book to put down, written with a detailed, up to date authenticity. It is the finest novel I have read this year. The twists and turns of this compelling story continue until the very last page. --Thomas Brooks Author, A Wealth of Family: An Adopted Son's International Quest for Heritage, Reunion and Enrichment

I CAN T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL! My Man's Best Friend" by K Elle Collier kept me on my toes throughout the entire read. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, Ms. Collier took the story in a new and fresh direction. I couldn't put the book down! Not only did I enjoy this book, I wanted more. Can't wait to read the sequel. --Judy Friend, Producer, Murder at 1600

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeping Your Enemy Close, September 23, 2008

By

This review is from: My Man's Best Friend (Paperback)

K. Elle Collier's debut offering, My Man's Best Friend, introduces readers to Kai Edwards. Kai is a woman who has had her share of relationships. Most of the relationships did not last long, but there is something about Kai's new love interest, Todd Daniels. From the first day, she saw Todd, she knew he was the one for her. There was just this one thing about Todd that she had a problem with and that was his best friend, Alana.

Alana is a beautiful model that was once Todd's roommate. Kai notices that Todd and Alana's relationship is very close and Kai cannot stand it. She and her best friend come up with a plan that just might not work in her favor. Kai gets in way too deep and finds herself in a love triangle.

When this drama-filled rollercoaster ride is about to end the author drops another shocker. There has to be a sequel to this one. I recommend this read to readers looking for a fast-paced read that is hard to put down.
