From Publishers Weekly

Hot times in Atlanta, Ga., keep the third installment of Morrison's erotic Honey Diaries blazing, as newly empowered Honey Thomas (formerly known as Lace) turns the tables on some seriously nasty kidnappers. Guns a-blazing, Honey manages to escape from her former pimp, Valentino James, and his dim sidekick, Benito (Honey's former flame), only to hitch a ride with a serial rapist and murderer. After learning of Honey's misadventures, her outrageous bisexual pal, tough Vegas cop Tiffany Davis (I loved arresting men more than having sex with them) rides to the rescue. Honey's girls, former escorts she's taken under her wing, also pitch in, but soon ex-stripper Red Velvet takes Honey's place as hostage. Morrison milks the overheated plot for all it's worth, dishing up one problem after another before readers can even catch their breath; unfortunately, the cascade of cliffhangers, while entertaining, makes the neatly wrapped happy ending all the more abrupt and unbelievable.

Product Description

New York Times bestselling author Mary B. Morrison thrills readers with another riveting tale featuring beloved heroine Honey Thomas. This time, Honey goes into hiding to save her life--and fights to keep past enemies from destroying the future she so desperately wants. . .

Honey Thomas once made her living as a tough-talking prostitute and madam, but those days are long gone. Now, Honey runs a counseling center she founded in Atlanta that helps women like her get off the streets. The best part is Honey's new life is being bankrolled by money stolen from her ex-pimp, Valentino James.

But no matter how fast Honey runs, she never seems to break free from her demons. Valentino knows Honey has his money--fifty million dollars to be exact--and he's willing to kill her to get it back. Honey escapes from Valentino by the skin of her teeth, but she knows the time has come to disappear for a while and figure out where her life is headed. In her heart, Honey still aches for Grant Hill, the love she lost when he learned about her dark past. How much more must she lose before she finally finds some peace?

Like a cat, Honey Thomas seems to have nine lives, and she's used up just about every last one of them. But life still has a few surprises left for Honey--and if she's willing to risk everything, she may just get that happy ending her heart and soul desire. . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Dangerous Playing Field, September 30, 2009

By	CHayes "Cheryl" (Bronx, NY) - See all my reviews

Unconditionally Single by Mary B. Morrison takes the reader on a wild ride with one of our favorite characters, Honey. Honey dropped out of the prostitution game and is trying her hand at running a legitimate business. When Honey and her team get the drop on a pimp they come off with over 110 million dollars. Valentino is back and wants his money, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

Honey tries to curb her wicked ways and is in love with Grant, a multi-millionaire who will do anything for her, but old habits die hard and she turns back to the life of crime. Trying to start a new life by helping women get off the street and away from domestic violence, Honey seems to have gotten her stuff together. That is until she is caught up once again in a gun fight; blood shed and she turns up missing.

There was a lot going on in this story with all of the characters having their fair share of storylines and plots; Ms. Morrison pulled off another great read. Can Honey keep her man even though there is someone else after him? What happens to Valentino? Will Valentino change from the vengeful man we have been a witness to, and turn over a different leaf? All I can say is hold on to your seats; this book is full of surprises. I recommend this book to readers of all genres, and especially Ms. Morrison's fans.

2.0 out of 5 stars What in the World was That!?, September 20, 2009

By	Dawn Chambray (Michigan, United States) - See all my reviews

Horrible! Can't believe this material came from Mary B. Morrison. Took me forever to finish. Never did this happen before with one of her books. This is proof it's time to end this series. Not only was bringing in Jada Diamond Tanner from the Soul mates Dissipate series horrible, it also made Jada look like a selfish bougie beyotch! Was never that fond of Jada, but she was extra awful in this book. Brought together with a man half her age that she doesn't match or appreciate. Was definitely not feeling the ending. Anything that involves the kidnapping of children just born in a hospital makes me sick anyways. The mystery of who did it pins Jada as the culprit due to her hatred for Honey and her initial threat, but seriously this book should of not been put out. Again I can't believe Morrison wrote this crap!

1.0 out of 5 stars what happened?, July 31, 2009

By	A. and Loston "bookreader" (daberry, louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book after anticipating its arrival i was deeply disappointed and I have only had the book for 1 day and can't bring myself to complete the book. I would hope that ms. morrison comes back with a book that would be so engrossing that it will only take 1 night to read. This is not her best by a long shot.
