I have been with my husband since high school. When I read books like Something Desirable by Sherlyn Powell, I am so happy I recognized my soul mate when I did. If I was Adrienne Baxter, I would be pulling my hair out with the decisions of who should it be.

Adrienne has all her ducks lined up in a precise row. The only thing missing is a fine, loving man for herself. When her old flame resurfaces, Adrienne is ecstatic. But when another good looking man shows interest in her, she finds herself in a love triangle. Would it be Brian, the boyfriend who got away years ago because of the long distance relationship? Or, would it be Dexter, the fun and exciting man who keeps everything interesting and spontaneous?

Powell developed real-life, down-to-earth, every day characters. As I read Something Desirable, I could see someone I know going through the same sort of conflicting emotions and stressing over them. The need to know what happened next kept me with the book at my side at all times. However, there were many errors. Some would cause me to speak aloud and shake my head. The use of an editor and or proofreader would help the story to flow better. I recommend Something Desirable to true die-hard romance readers; they will love it.

Something Desirable is a read and I and couldn't wait to turn the pages. I was so curious, I thought many times to jump to the last page to see what Adrienne did with all her conflicting feelings, but I willed myself to read it all the way through. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book.

Adrienne Baxter is the epitome of a strong, ambitious, and successful independent woman. She has a supportive group of girlfriends as well as a loving family. Living her dream as an architect Adrienne is on the fast track to success and nothing can distract Adrienne from reaching the top. When two irresistible men enter her life unexpectedly, Adrienne's life becomes an emotional rollercoaster.

Is it possible to love two men at once? How can we tell when it is real love or just infatuation? These are some of the questions Powell poses in her debut novel, "Something Desirable."

"A breath of fresh air in Urban Lit., Powell, portrays the positive side of African-American culture, family and relationships. Packed with engaging dialogue and true to life scenarios, Something Desirable is an amazing novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat."
