Product Description

Rachel Merrell goes into shock when her ex-boyfriend, Jeffery Williams, begins dating her half sister Marlene Draper. At first, Rachel swears Jeff is feigning interest in Marlene just to get back at her for breaking up with him. Rachel pretends Jeff’s interest in Marlene doesn't bother her, but when they unexpectedly hit it off and love begins to blossom, Rachel can't bear to watch the happy couple. Suddenly, Rachel wants Jeff back and she is determined to get him no matter what the cost—including Marlene's happiness.

But when her attempts to regain Jeff's affections fail, Rachel decides to join an online dating service, creating a profile under an assumed name, just to test the waters. Surprisingly, Rachel's profile matches someone who sounds like he'd be the perfect replacement for Jeff, but when she sees a picture of the man of her dreams, she's dumbfounded and pissed: it IS Jeff! Despite Rachel's jealousy over her sister's relationship, she has to tell Marlene the truth about the two-timing Casanova. Now the women will work together to devise a way to make him pay for what he's done...and discover a thing or two about sisterhood in the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Sister's Ex....Review from Fabculture.com, August 4, 2009

By	A. Gordon "Natural vixen" (Miami, Fl. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cydney Rax has done it again with her new book titled "My Sister's ex"! I found myself completely engulfed in this story about love, sisterhood, and family! The story involves sister's Rachel Merrell and Marlene Draper in a love triangle of sorts with a Mr. Jeffery Williams. Would you ever date your sister's ex?Well if you have never considered this situation, this book is an easy way to view all the angles. Cydney deals with the mentality of each character, their flaws,weaknesses, and strengths. She gives you each character's perspective which makes it easier to identify with each of them. I love how she gives hers characters "true to life" personalities and realistic situations. As you can imagine there is a lot of drama, comedy, and mixed emotions as the plot thickens! I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD at the sticky situations presented in this book! The quote "Oh what a tangled WEB we weave, when first we practice to deceive" comes to mind as hidden truths surface to uncover open lies. As you become entangled in the storyline, in the end you will be SHOCKED of the outcome! I found most of the subplots to be unpredictable and spontaneous! I give this book a 10!!!

By	CHayes "Cheryl" (Bronx, NY) - See all my reviews

What is a girl to do when she feels that Mr. Right has turned into Mr. Right Now? Meet Rachel, she is a hard-working woman who wants love, companionship and stability. That is until she meets Jeffery Williams, an entrepreneur and smooth talker and fine as wine. Jeff offers stability, financial security and good loving, but something just does not seem right about him. Could he be too good to be true? When a marriage proposal pops up out the blue, Rachel has to come to grips if this is what she is ready for or is it too soon? Is he the one?

With so many questions running around in her head Rachel turns to her live-in-sister, Marlene, for guidance, but when Marlene falls head-over-heels for Jeff all bets are off. Will Marlene continue to see her sister's ex even though she knows she still has feelings for him? Will Rachel be able to handle the fact that she might have let a good one get away? Is Jeff hurting and trying to use Marlene as a cover-up for Rachel breaking up with him? Where will this love triangle leave us?

This book is filled with family drama that will have you laughing, crying, sympathizing and calling on the Lord to come help someone. With a feel good quality and recognizable characters, this book is a must read and will have you begging for more. Cydney Rax I cannot wait for your next release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Family - Got to Love Them, September 18, 2009

By	Shelia M Goss (Entertainment Writer & Author of Young Adult Books & Women's Fiction) - See all my reviews

Thus far I've read all of Cydney Rax's books. My Sister's Ex doesn't disappoint. There were many "oh no she didn't" moments in the book that will have you eagerly turning the page. Rachel & Marlene have a dysfunctional sister relationship but through it all they love each other. The love for one man, Jeffrey, however threatens to destroy their relationship. I don't want to spoil the book but I can say I was satisfied with the ending.
