You Make Me Wanna...Read More,

This review is from: You Make Me Wanna... (Paperback)
Kyla, Kyla, Kyla.The naïve heroine from Nikki Rashan's Double Pleasure Double Pain is back in YOU MAKE ME WANNA..., this time armed with the truth about who she is. This sequel picks up where Kyla left off, trying to decide between the man she is to marry and the woman who stole her heart. When she finally does choose, Kyla has lost them both, and instead heads to Atlanta with out-cousin David to begin her newly-minted lesbian life. In "the gay Mecca of the South," Kyla throws herself in numerous sexual affairs with women, avoiding at all costs a deeper connection. She's still holding on to the hurt she felt from her two previous relationships that went sour. It prevents her from giving herself completely to another women, afraid to feel any type of pain again. Until she meets Asia, the exotic beauty Kyla spies one afternoon. Enraptured by her luxurious locks and ebony complexion, Kyla wants to meet this woman and does after a set up by David's boyfriend, Marlon. And just one meeting with Asia tells Kyla that she's the one They begin a courtship, and Kyla has to deal with letting go of her past to commit to her future. Their relationship is built slowly, as Asia's been hurt, as well, but their love for each other heals the wounds. You Make Me Wanna... definitely keeps your attention. Kyla is an engaging character who has an honest voice. You will journey with her through love at first sight and on her way to happily ever after. The secondary characters -- David, Marlon, and friend Nakia -- added something extra to the tale, as the three characters deal with their own issues. Rashan wraps up the Kyla saga very well, settling all unanswered questions from the first book, and manages to make Kyla a character to remember. She feels like an old friend who's coming back to catch you up on her life...and you're hanging on to every word.

Love this author!!,

This review is from: You Make Me Wanna (Paperback)
There is one thing that I am trying to figure out before I write this review. I pre-ordered this book in the summer of 2009. Though I see reviews for this book written in 2006 and 2007. What year did this book really come out? Have to find that out. Anyway,back to the purpose at hand....I ABSOLUTELY loved this book. Like I said, I pre-ordered it. Especially after reading "Double Pleasure" which I read twice! This is a very easy read. The characters also had me laughing! Nikki Rashans' writing just flows. The characters and story, great! This was a great follow up to "Double Pleasure" which left you wondering what happend to Kyla. Would recommend this book hands down. There is only one thing that I would have loved to have seen. For those who haven't read the book yet, don't read any further because I am about to give a big part of the story away. For those who have read it...I would have loved to have seen Kyla run into Stephanie when she went back home. To somehow have Kyla bump into Stephanie. I think that would have given the story a second icing on the cake! Still love this book! Nikki Rashan definitely has a fan here!

This review is from: You Make Me Wanna... (Paperback)
The characters were engaging. This was a nice read and a wonderful follow-up. The story wasn't too long and it never missed a beat. It was humbling that Kyla finally found comfort in her own skin after all of her trials.With so many new or unheard of African-American authors on the scene with books of all genres and subject matters---the proof is out there that almost anyone can write a book. However, it takes true talent to tell a story. Nikki Rashan's got what it takes.
