WET by Joylynn M. Jossel is a two story fiction volume,
Thicker Than Water and The Ghostwriter

Thicker Than Water is a story of identical twins, Wade and Tye, who are inseparable from their childhood into adulthood. Wade is considered the stable one of the twins, with a regular girlfriend, Slim, though at times it is an on-again-off-again relationship. Tye, on the other hand is the player type, with no desire to settle down with one woman. The twins enjoy the company of their friends, Cory, Mike and Dinah. This friendship was formed back in their college days, where they would hang out several times a month, playing pool and drinking beer or working out at the gym. One of the main characters of this book is Dinah. Dinah is considered just one of the guys and has been a part of Wade and Tye's life since high school.

Wade and Dinah have been best friends forever, which is a problem for Slim, Wade's jealous girlfriend. Slim's jealously causes her and Wade to have this unstable relationship. Wade loves Slim, but also has a strong love and commitment to his relationship with Dinah. Is it a love between friends or is it more?

The Ghostwriter is a story focused on one character, Rhain Garrett. Rhain is a young woman who spends her days going from work at a local insurance company to getting take-out from a neighborhood restaurant called Carlos's and then spending all her evenings at home. At the age of 25, Rhain is still a virgin, avoiding interactions with all males she encounters, even to the point of not making eye contact. Rhain is very insecure about her looks, which is the biggest reason she distances herself from any male and has never had one sexual encounter. Rhain frequently finds herself masturbating on a regular basis, with such a desire to one day experience what it would be like to be with a man. The sad thing is, Rhain is very attractive and does not even know it.

Rhain also has a sideline computer job as a ghostwriter, calling it, "Rhain's Originals." Over the years she has found that she is good with words, forming them in a way of poetry or sweet sentiments. As her co-workers come to realize her gift with words, she finds herself making greeting cards and writing letters, speeches and a variety of other writing needs for others. Then she starts her business as a ghostwriter, starting Rhain's Originals. Through her sexual frustrations, a dead end job and a desire to really branch out as a ghostwriter, Rhain creates a world of her own. How much of it is real and how much of it is imaginary?

Joylynn Jossel does a good job captivating the reader's attention from the early pages of both stories. Both stories, Thicker Than Water and The Ghostwriter have twists and turns written into the storylines to keep the readers interest, throwing in conclusions that you would not anticipate. Also, both stories have a couple of very hot erotic scenes, which could get your temperature to rise.

This review is from: Wet (Urban Soul) (Urban Soul Presents) (Paperback)

In this the final novel written by Joylynn M. Jossel before the release of her new spiritual secular, we are treated to a double dose of erotic thrillers written in "True Joylynn Style" as I like to put it.
This book showcases her talent for storytelling yet keeping it on a "real" tip.
But what I especially liked about this novel is the steamy, spicy, content, which was effortlessly sprinkled throughout both stories. Not only are these tight, well written stories, which is what I've come to expect from Ms Jossel, but the hot sexually charged scenes are exactly that...HOT! I was like, "Whoa! Girlfriend has been holding out on us."
Yes Joylynn more that kicked it up a notch with this one!

First up is the drama "Thicker Than Water" which introduces us to Tye and Wade, identical twins who are inseparable, as are most twins.
But when love comes knocking at both their hearts, jealousy rears it's ugly head leading to forbidden passion, betrayal and a very unexpected twist of fate!

"The Ghost Writer" is the second juicy tale which stars 25-year-old Rhain Garrett who lives a humdrum life with an average 9-5 job. At night Rhain escapes into her literary world, where her original flare for taking other people's thoughts and penning them into a collection of keepsakes has become profitable by word of mouth. Little did she know that her ghost writing would result in a murder investigation where she is the number one suspect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Twisted, September 14, 2008
This review is from: Wet (Urban Soul) (Urban Soul Presents) (Paperback)
"Thicker Than Water"

What would you do to be with the one you love?

Identical twins Tye and Wade are inseparable. Tye is outgoing and will make friends at the drop of a hat. Wade on the other had is soft spoken and kept to himself. Growing up they wore the same clothes, had the same friends, and now that they've grown handsomely into adulthood, unfortunately they are both in love with the same woman. In this twisted story, is blood really thicker than water?

"Ghostwriter" is a story about a twenty something woman name Rhain, who works a dead end 9-5 J.O.B. to pay the bills. The only excitement in her life is her passion for the written word which she gets paid top dollar for known as "Rhain's Original". What will happen when one of her writings become true to life with murder and mayhem and Rhain possibly a prime suspect.

Wet (Urban Soul) (Urban Soul Presents) is very juicy and erotic with a twist that will keep the reader including myself interested to the very end. The endings of both stories "Thicker Than Water" and "Ghostwriter" had me in awe.

This review is from: Wet (Urban Soul) (Urban Soul Presents) (Paperback)
The 1st story shocked me in the end. I couldn't believe what happened. I couldn't put this book down from start to finish! The 2nd story wasn't as good as the first, but it was still an alright story. I got kind of confused on that one lol.
