Love and Happiness,
By OOSA Online Book Club "O.O.S.A. Gets It Read!" (World Wide Web, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Slow Burn (Paperback)
Tired of the cheating and the lies, Serafina finally mustered up the strength and the courage to follow the words of Keyshia Cole and "Let It Go." Moving on with her life, finding another man was not at the top of her to do list. It's when you aren't looking that you find and HE has found her; the one. Happily ever after comes to a screeching halt when tragedy strikes. Will the new Serafina resort to what's comfortable and settle for less than she deserves?You never miss your water until your well runs dry. Jeremy has come to know the truth of that statement since his relationship with Serafina ended. Reality and hard truths make him realize that she may have been the one for him. At what lengths is he willing to go to get her back? Ayzha is happily married. Correction: Ayzha is married but happiness is nowhere to be found. Emotionally alienated, she just wants some love, for a man to want her and to desire her like her husband used to. When someone else enters the picture, will Ayzha confuse lust for love? Khalil has left his player days behind him. Settled and more mature, he's looking for his queen that was made just for him. Life crosses their paths and it's a beautiful thing. Circumstances beyond Khalil's control threaten his future and happiness. Is he strong enough to fight for what's his? "Slow Burn" is a book for anyone that likes drama or who just enjoys a good story. Seasoned with poetry, it serves to emphasize and improve the storyline without overshadowing or holding back plot development. Readers will come away with satisfaction at a tale well-told. I look forward the sequel, "Orchid's Nectar." Reviewed by: Toni 4.5

Is It Real?...Taste And See...,
By
This review is from: Slow Burn (Paperback)
Slow Burn: n. Slang; A gradually increasing sense or show of passion or emotion.Ayzha is trapped in a loveless marriage, barren of children (due to numerous miscarried pregnancies), and resentful of a husband who has no concern for her personal needs. In search of her own happiness, she succumbs to the lure of infidelity, only to finally get pregnant - by her lover - and lose both him and her husband in the process... Jeremy is the Player your mama always warned you about, but he's only doing what his father taught him to do; when it costs him the love of a very special woman, though, he begins to wonder about the logic of his actions - and when she suffers a sudden tragedy, he doesn't miss a beat for the chance to get back in her good graces... Serafina never knew about love at first sight - until she meets Khalil; suddenly, things in her life couldn't be better - until things just as suddenly change for the worst, and she's torn between a re-emerging past and an uncertain future, stuck in an emotional vacuum from which she may never escape... If you've ever wondered about the effects that love really has on the heart, let Slow Burn be your guide. Through page-turning drama and suspense, Ebony Farashuu takes you on an emotional roller coaster of joy, dejection, heartache, redemption - and even some feelings that you can't quite put into words. Her narrative bravely broaches such subjects as domestic abuse, the tenuous bonds of family, and infidelity in the name of love - and she interweaves the themes with the grace and ease of a poetic soliloquy. For its engaging appeal and true heart, Slow Burn is a pleasurable reading experience. The storyline is compelling, and the characters breathe new life to the age-old quandary of love's true nature: it may sound real, it may smell real, and it may even feel real - but you just never really know for sure until you taste and see...

Poetic!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Slow Burn (Kindle Edition)
What a wonderful story of love, loss, redemption and spirituality! Written with wonderful poetry throughout, this full length novel delves into the love and heartbreak that is Khalil and Serafina. The author wonderfully writes about what happens when soul mates love and lose one another. The book is told from the perspectives of the main characters - Jeremy, Serafina, Khalil and Ayzha and is wonderfully put together. I don't want to spoil this story for anyone, but I will say that the author describes all of the main characters with their quirks and emotions in vivid detail. She descirbes the growth and conflicting emotions that we all can relate to. Absolutely spectacular writing and I recommend without reservation.
