Have you ever ached for unconditional love? Do you hold your soulmate in your arms at night or in your dreams? The sizzling sequel to Soul Mates Dissipates addresses Jada's search for unconditional love and Wellington's ache for his soul mate. After twenty years, the magnetic attraction they shared in their early twenties still exists.

In `Never Again Once More', we catch up with a mature Jada and Wellington. They shed the brazen carelessness they enjoyed as young adults, embraced middle age with sophistication, and usurped parenthood with zeal. I really enjoyed witnessing the evolution Jada and Wellington experienced. Although they extended their best efforts to avoid chaos, Jada and Wellington still nurtured secrets and emotions that erupted, and caused distress for them and their extensions.

The novel occurs over a 20 year span of time. It picks up at the end of Soul Mates Dissipates, and moves forward. I was initially very frustrated and confused with time elements. We were led back and forth through time, so occasionally I was disoriented and had no idea in which decade things were taking place. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, which is thick with the tension and drama that heightens your curiosity and stimulates anxiety. So, take care when you start reading because you may not want to stop until you reach the last page.

This book was nothing like the first book.It has no storyline. It did not make any sense. This book really had me confused as to where it was going.I truly am dissapointed in the author and I hope she redeems herself in the next book.

After reading Soulmates Dissipate I couldn't wait for Ms. Morrison's next novel. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Jada and Wellington. When I saw that they were in Never Again Once More I couldn't wait to begin the book. How could I have known that I would be in for a rude awakening. I was majorly disappointed. The storyline moved too fast and I really wasn't that fond of jada by the end of the book. I don't think Ms. Morrison should have gone as far as 20 years into the future.

Mary Morrison has done a terrific job on this sequel, you have to read Soulmates Dissipate first though. Jada (bka: Diamond) and Wellington are trully meant to be together, but circumstances that they created have separated them. They have allowed their inability to trully confess their feelings to one another keep them apart. They have found temporary satisfaction in Lawrence and Simone, but after time they can't deny what is really there. Mary Morrison has creatively told this story and you will be surprised at the events that take place. She is very descriptive, so you will be able to picture the scenary as if you were watching a movie... Oh and you will not see the curves or loops in the road coming... You have to read the whole book, if you scan or stop in the middle, you will be disappointing yourself. When it is all said and done, there is one question you will have to ask yourself, Have you found your soulmate? Also ask yourself would your answer be Never again? or Once more please? Also Darryl, Darrius, Maxine, Black diamonds staff, Melanie... all characters you need to get to know.

Mary Morrison you have done it again! I have been waiting on the sequel to Soul Mates Dissipate for a very long time. I immediately order this book before it was released and was not disappointed. I was surprised that you took the story over a 20 year period; however, in truth, I could identify because when you find that soulmate no matter what type of relationship you may be in with somneone else, you're always missing a part of your heart when they are not around.

I loved the new characters, Darius, Lawrence, etc. I wanted you to dig deeper in the character of Darius/Ashlee. It seems like that could have been another opportunity for a "soulmate". This book had it all, friendship, love, suspense, betrayal.

Overrall this book was very very good. We have recommended it as one of our Books of the Month.

Keep up the good work! You are one of Bourbon Street Bookclub's favorite authors.

Okay, I liked the series (of the ones I have read). I am admitting that I started from the ending of the story and working my way back. I have currently just finish reading NEVER AGAIN ONCE MORE. Where I am confused is with the time frame for the books. Darius (Jade's son) Is just born in this book and in his twenties in the last book. So, why is she making it seem like they are all in the same time frame. In this book she mentions breath strips and current basketball players when Darius is 9. Darius is still trying to be those players in the last books. Somewhere with the writing of these books the time frame were messed up real bad. Someone should have caught that before they were published. This book and the one before should have time period should have been long before his is 20 years old. Twenty years from now the last book should have been more with that time frame instead of the current time frame that is used in this book. It reminds me of the daytime soaps. You turn off one of those with a baby being born and the next day the same child is now five, by the end of the week the same newborn is getting married. So, you can say I am a bit confused on her writing.

Never Again Once More was a satisfying read as it tale spins into the selfish, drama filled life of Ms. Jada Diamond Tanner & her offspring. Jada's corrupt motives result in raising a mannish, self centered, irresponsible nymphomaniac who learns his lesson about unprotected sex the hard way. Wellington turns out to be the knight in shining armor this go round and poor Lawrence is just something to do in the midst of Jada & Wellington sorting through their confusion. Great follow up to "Soulmates Dissipate" and I look forward to more sex, lies & drama in the trilogy.

THIS BOOK WAS NOT BAD AT ALL
IT WAS NOT GREAT BUT NOT BAD,
IT STARTS OUT JUST WHERE SOUL
MATES LEFT OFF. THE BOOK MESSAGE TO ME WAS THE SAME OLD SAYING THAT IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING LET IT GO AND IF IT RETURNS THEN IT WAS MEANT TO BE. CAUSE THAT IS
WHAT JADA HAD TO DO AND THAT IS WHAT WELLINGTON HAD TO DO. JADA MOVED ON TO A RICH LAWYER NAME LAWRENCE WHO GAVE HER THE WORLD
AND WELLINGTON MOVED ON TO A GREAT WOMAN NAME SIMONE. ONLY THING IS JADA FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT
AND SHE REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHO WAS THE DADDY WELLINGTON OR THE FLING SHE
HAD WITH DARRYL BUT LIKE ANY REAL MAN WELLINGTON WAS THE ONE WHO HELPED RAISE HER SON AS HIS OWN WITHOUT KNOWING IF HE WAS THE REAL DADDY OR NOT. THE STORY LINE WAS GREAT
JADA SON IS NOW GROWN AND RUNNING HIS MOTHER
COMPANY AFTER HE MESS UP HIS BASKETBALL CAREER BUT HE ALSO IS DOING A LOT MORE THAN JADA KNOWS ABOUT THIS BOOK HAS A LOT MORE GOING ON THEN JUST WELLINGTON CHASING JADA THERE IS A LOT MORE TO TELL BUT THIS BOOK IS A 100% MUST BUY

I loved Soul Mates Dissipate, but I wanted more. Thank you, Miss Morrison, for satisfying my need!

Mary B. Morrison returns with the handsome and unforgettable Wellington Jones and his soul mate Jada "Diamond" Tanner for another round this time in Never Again Once More. Unfortunately for readers, Wellington is married to another as is Jada, but when it comes to matters of the heart these two make us wonder; does anything else matter?

Some readers were disappointed with the break-up of Wellington and Jada towards the end of Soul Mates Dissipates, Mary B.Morrison's sister novel to Never Again Once More. I believe it is because of the readers' idea of what a soul mate is or should be. I enjoyed the book because it showed us how couples who are soul mates are not always put together at the right time.

Never Again Once More takes us twenty years into Wellington and Jada's future. Emotionally time stood still for Wellington and Jada, but they learned to go with the motions learning to love others while the passion they held simmering slowly began to heat up and burn those around them. The time might not have been the most opportune for Wellington and Jada, but love takes no prisoners.

The characters in Never Again Once More all had hidden desires that they masked by settling for less, until their hearts could hold out no longer. It's funny how the mouth verbalizes never, but the heart screams once more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; having the chance to meet with old characters from Soul Mates Dissipates and seeing their growth was a welcomed treat.

At the beginning of Never Again Once More the time warping was a little confusing and I almost lost the story,but Mary B Morrison made up for it throughout the book, with her clear messages and well developed old and new characters that will tug at your heart.
