Review

My Kinda Girl is the story of Bobbi Williams and his quest to make it to the top at any cost. Mr. McGrew does a good job defining the characters and their relationships. The book moved pretty fast, and there were some parts that caught me completely off guard. He had a really great ending that had me totally surprised. As a fan of urban fiction, I enjoyed the book, and would recommend it to anyone who also enjoys the genre. On the other hand, there were numerous grammatical errors that should have been caught during editing. However, the errors did not really take away from the book, and did not impede my reading. I would recommend My Kinda Girl to anyone who is in search of a quick read. --Sistahfriend Book Club

Bobbi Williams serves a six-year bid for a string of robberies he didn't commit. He serves this bid after he gets the ultimate revenge on his twin sister's killer. While doing his bid, he quickly becomes friends with his sister's boyfriend. After her brutal death, the two establish an unbreakable brotherly bond. When James meets someone new, Bobbi realizes she also is his kinda girl too. MY KINDA GIRL by Michael McGrew is a prime example of how karma always comes back to haunt you. This book took me a on a real life roller coaster ride. It was filled with graphic scenes of passion, betrayal and larceny...of the heart that is. I would recommend this book to others, it's a definite must read! --Latifah Sanchez, RAWSISTAZ Book Reviwer

Bobbi Williams is a con man who temporary loses his mind when his twin sister is murdered. Revenge becomes the name of the game. Lucky for Bobbi he gets a string of robbery cases and not a murder charge, which lands him a six-year bid. While he is revenge driven, Bobbi is befriended by his sister's boyfriend James. James holds Bobbi down while he does his bid and even has a job for him when he comes home. James runs a successful music company and owns some property which Bobbi helps him run. Together they have success, money and good looks. James has recovered from the loss of his girlfriend and has found love again with Jennifer who becomes his fiancé. Against the code, Bobbi begins a secret love affair with her. Nothing done in dark can stay hidden forever. The things that are done to keep this affair private make for an interesting plot. The unexpected happens, secrets are revealed that affect more then just Bobbi and James. Life will never be the same for these two men's families. Mr. McGrew deals with some tough topics cheating, un-protected sex, trust, revenge, and karma. The ending will make you say wow karma really is a b***h. I am happy to read a book that has some tough lessons kudos to you Mr. McGrew for including them in your book. I look forward to seeing where your pen will lead to next. --Sister Tea, ARC Book Club

Keep Your Enemies Close February 14, 2011
Format:Paperback
In My Kinda Girl by Michael McGrew readers are introduced to Bobbi Williams, a dreamer who takes a wrong turn while defending his sister's honor. Once Bobbi is released from prison his new friend, James, comes to his rescue with business opportunities and the ability to live the high life.

James has taken on the responsibility of running the entertainment business while his partner, Bobbi, is away. James meets and falls in love with Jennifer, the woman of his dreams. It is apparent that James did not think about the demands of being a business owner. The demands take their toll on him and he is court ordered to commit himself to a drug rehab program.

Bobbi is released and starts taking over the operation. James is not worried because he knows Bobbi will hold things down. He has taught Bobbi, everything he needs to know about their businesses. While James is away, Bobbi starts communicating more and more with Jennifer, his best friend's girlfriend, and things seem to get out of hand. Now they say keep your enemies close and Bobbi learns this the hard way. Bobbi's past discretions catch up to him and he is betrayed by the only person he has ever really trusted. Will Bobbi come out on top?

My Kinda Girl is a story about people coming into your life for a reason. This author has orchestrated a believable story that happens to many people in the entertainment industry. The author also introduced a new twist to street literature that will keep readers intrigued. The characters are well-developed allowing readers to relate to their plights. My Kinda Girl is also a page-turning book of unsuspected surprises that had me rushing to finish. I cannot wait to read more from this author and I definitely recommend this book to others.

Things Done In The Dark!!!! September 27, 2009
Format:Paperback
After the death of his twin sister Bobbi Williams vowed to kill the person responsible for his family's pain and suffering. After doing the crime and the time, a six year bid, Bobbi comes home to help James, his sister's ex, run the business that was started while Bobbi was incarcerated. Their brotherly bond only strengthens as they manage several investments including a record company, which Bobbi helps to put on the map.

All relationships are tested but Bobbi's and James' had to withstand several temptations along with the enemies that resulted with their attainment of so much fame and wealth. But the brotherly bond is permanently severed when Bobbi began an affair with James' fiancée Jennifer. Once the affair is finally revealed its results are far more dangerous that what Bobbi could have ever imagined.

Author Michael McGrew effectively spins a story that continually picks up steam until it reaches its shocking conclusion. My Kinda Girl also offers a very valuable lesson about coveting other people's mates. The subplot with Detective Biggs adds yet another twist and an antagonist that readers can't help but to root for.
