The company is deep in debt and is being threatened with a takeover—which Marvin has failed to share with his partner, the shareholders, and his wife, Rachel. Marvin has exhausted most of the company’s available cash flow, including is own, to keep the company afloat and faces the biggest decision of his life— save the business or sell his shares in the company of which he’s the majority shareholder. However, a fifty-thousand dollar extortion scheme and an incriminating photo may send Marvin over the edge long before he’s had an opportunity to redeem himself.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This tight sequel to Ex-Terminator checks in on the fortunes of the Ex-Files, a group of friends who've helped each survive life after divorce. Marvin Thomas and Kenny Richmond run Thomas and Richmond Tecktronics, a Fortune 500 company that appears to be a wild success, but Marvin knows is deeply in debt. Other worries bombard him as well after an argument with his wife, Rachel, leads him to foolishly hook up with a floozy named Peaches, who tries to blackmail him for $50,000. Perkins also follows up on the lives of other Ex-Files friends: Sylvia, Mona, a now-incarcerated Ashley Jordan-Lewis, and Claudette. Perkins delivers a saucy and solid testament to what it takes to keep the home fires burning but not raging out of control. (Mar.)

This review is from: Nothing Stays the Same (Zane Presents) (Paperback)

Marvin Thomas, CEO of Thomas and Richmond Tecktronics, Inc., is living a life most people dream of living. He's married to a beautiful woman and they're the proud parents of a sweet little daughter. Kenny Richmond is the other driving force behind the successful Atlanta Fortune 500 company. But, Marvin's deep dark secret about the company's enormous debt and a possible takeover may cause financial ruin for everyone. Marvin has depleted the company's funds, as well as his own, and a huge decision is weighing heavily on his mind. He must decide whether to sell his company's shares of which he's the majority shareholder.

Overcome with despair, Marvin ventures to a local bar to drown his sorrows. A chocolate, afro wearing, long-legged woman enters and sits next to Marvin. Sensing Marvin's troubled spirit, she moves in for the kill and lures him back to her apartment. When Marvin wakes up from his alcoholic binge, he realizes he's in deep trouble; trouble that may cause him lots of money and his marriage.

NOTHING STAYS THE SAME is the explosive sequel to Ex-Terminator: Life After Marriage. Dramatically suspenseful, NOTHING STAYS THE SAME is an entertaining novel. The characters have their emotional moments and the desperation felt by Marvin to save his company is relevant to the times of today.
