Book Description

July 1, 2004
For best friends Mike, Max, and Ahmad, the bonds of friendship, love and respect, are put to the ultimate test as each one of them is forced to take a long, hard look at themselves, and the women they love. They all said their 'I do's', but did they really understand what it meant?

Mike's a bonafide ladies man. He's smooth, sexy, and he's got all the right moves. There's just one problem-his wife, Mya. She knew what she was getting into when she slipped his ring on her finger, but she'd always hoped that her love would be enough to quench his desire. But now that she's finally admitted that Mike can never be tamed, who will she turn to for comfort? And how will Mike handle it?

Max is a music mogul in the making, and with his wife, Trina's support, he's bound to succeed. Of course that all depends on what happens with Sharon, who could write a book and give seminars on what it is to be a true ghetto queen. Ahmad is a born-again virgin only he can't figure out why. No matter what he does or says, his wife, Shay, refuses to be intimate with him. But what happens when her decision to confide in him is too late?

More About the Author

Dwayne S. Joseph began his writing career at the age of thirteen. Commandeering his parent's computer, he sat for hours on end creating dramatic stories of fiction that earned him the "best story teller in the Joseph household" moniker. He then went on to win second place in the National Scholastic Writing Competition during his senior year in high school, for a short story he wrote, titled "Playtime" (A story that he does plan to develop into a children's tale someday soon!) The novels at thirteen and the short story in his senior year all helped to propel him on the destined path to becoming a published author at the age of 27, with the release of his first novel The Choices Men Make.

With ten drama-filled novels under his belt, including The Womanizers, Never Say Never, If Your Girl Only Knew, In Too Deep, Til' It's Gone, and short story contributions to four anthology collections, most notably, the Essence best seller, Around The Way Girls, Dwayne has consistently set out to entertain his readers with scenarios and characters that they love and love to hate.

It's all about growth for Mr. Joseph. He strives to grow and improve with each novel because he feels that's what the readers deserve. And that's just what he is determined to do as he is now taking a walk down a much different literary path with the release of his latest two novels, Home Wrecker and Betrayal--darker novels filled with more suspense, more intensity, more violence, more mystery and sex.

With half of his life spent in Brooklyn, New York, the other half spent in Harrisburg, PA, Dwayne now calls Maryland his home where he lives with his wife and three children, where they never fail to wear their New York Giants jerseys every Sunday during the football season! He is currently hard at work on his next novel for 2011!

5.0 out of 5 stars DRAMA WITH A CAPITAL "D!", October 3, 2005
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Womanizers (Paperback)
If you want a fun read that's a serious pageturner, you've found it. This novel centers around the friendships of three men--Ahmad, Max and Mike. Of the three, all of whom are married, Ahmad is the consummate "good guy;" the rest are truly womanizers.
Mike, despite being married to the gorgeous Mya, just cannot keep from chasing other women...and eventually, it catches up with him and his worse nightmare comes to fruition.
Max is the "bad" boy. Rocking cornrows and dreams of managing the next hot rapper, he is married to Trina. Trina and her sister Nikita have escaped the ghetto and the projects in which they grew up..but Trina still has a penchant for soldiers--hence her love and marriage to Max. But Trina and Nikita have left their mother and their brother still immersed in the old life...and what is a woman to do when finds out that her man is screwing her mother?
Ahmad, though the good guy who loves his wife Shay, has always had a soft spot for Mike's wife Mya. And Shay's reluctance to be a wife to Ahmad in the physical sense soon places him in a compromising position with the beautiful Mya...and perhaps Ahmad isn't quite as good a guy as we all think.....

Chock full of drama, this book is one no reader will want to put down....

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Drama, March 30, 2006
By 
N. Silvas (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Womanizers (Paperback)
This book was full of some serious drama but was very entertaining all the same. Dwayne made his characters pop. There's Mike - detested by most woman, admired by many men. He so did not deserve Mya. Speaking of which, how could such a well-educated & established woman be so clueless? Max - can you say yuck! Lessons learned the hard way. Trina was definitely a better woman than most. And finally Ahmad - can't blame a brother for being a man. Shay truly needed to get over it. Great read - would recommend to anyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars Their Just Due, February 5, 2005
By 
The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Womanizers (Paperback)
Mike, Max and Ahmad are best buddies and are, by all accounts, womanizers. In Dwayne S. Joseph's THE WOMANIZERS, their escapades demonstrate why they have received this title.

Mike, a police officer, is married to the beautiful and loyal Mya but he is a player to the tenth degree. Mike's reasoning, there are too many women available to be loyal to one. Mike figures if he gives Mya everything her heart desires then his actions are justified. Max, who is married to Trina, is an up and coming record producer, or so he thinks, becomes involved with someone who is definitely taboo. Finally there is Ahmad who is married to Shay. Since the birth of their daughter six months ago, Ahmad and Shay have not had sex. Ahmad is a stand up type of guy and he cannot figure out why his wife will not have sex with him. Shay has her reasons, which she fails to share with her husband. Shay's dismissal of her husband sends him into the arms of another forbidden lover. Of the three, Ahmad is the one who preaches to the others about the errors of their ways, however Mike and Max are not into lectures and as long as Ahmad keeps his mouth shut no one will get hurt.

Take this ride with these characters as their friendship is tested over and over again by accusations, deceit and betrayal. Are their relationships and friendships broken beyond repair? In the end will each man and woman, for that matter, heed the lessons to be learned or will they continue with their wicked and selfish ways? The chapters are separated by the characters telling their side of the story, which allows us to hear directly from the individual and not from a narrator. Dwayne Joseph writes with candor, humor and straight up ruthlessness. He leaves no stone unturned as he tests the bonds of friendship between Mike, Max and Ahmad and ultimately their wives.
