Her eight novel in Nappily About Us continues with the spirited character, Venus Johnston, who will be portrayed on the big screen by Oscar winner, Halle Berry.

Publisher's Weekly offers praise for her series, "...it's her wry humor that keeps this delightful series blooming."
This is a really good follow up in the Nappily series. Venus and Jake are seemingly content and enjoying a more quiet life in Atlanta raising Mya when Jake's past legal troubles resurface. So with the help of his old friend Legend, Jake tries to put the past to rest once and for all. Venus is moving past the pain of her miscarriage and has recently opened "In Bloom" a flower shop. She signs on as wedding coordinator for Televangelist Trevelle Doval's daughter Keisha's wedding. Can she mediate peace between drama queen Trevelle and adoptive mom Judge Hawkins? All while trying to stay safe and sane? Doubtful! Lots of twists and turns and surprises. I really enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next installment.

This is my first book by this author. It started off a little confusing for me with so many characters until I got a littler farther. I'm looking for a part two especially what will happen to Gray Hillman and Legend Hill. Not to mention Nikki, it's always sad to be one in her shoes. I must say I enjoyed it and will recommend it to others.
