Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2006

After leaving a cheating husband, Rhea thinks she'll be alone forever. Then in walks Davis Hickman, an attractive, sophisticated black businessman. After months of online chatting and steamy phone sex, they meet and their passion is consummated. Davis seems perfect for Rhea . . . but it's not long before there's trouble in paradise. Now she finds herself in a relationship with another loser whose lies know no end. Rhea discovers that Davis "forgot" to tell her about his two baby mommas--Terri, the psychotic medical student, and the pathetic Noel, who believes that Davis loves her because he added her as an approved user on his Blockbuster Video card!

Rhea must decide to stay with a man, who continues to do her wrong every time she turns around, or leave him and get over the fact that she was twice fooled. In the end, who's really wrong? Should Rhea compromise all that she is to try and maintain a relationship with another cheating man?

5.0 out of 5 stars Does anybody in America have a straight-jacket for Toschia!, February 7, 2004

By 

Brenda Hall (Fredericksburg, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: You Wrong For That (Paperback)

Well, I never and I probably never will! This book really was not what I expected, in a good way. I expected baby daddy drama from the title but the extra's were the bomb! I had to leave my desk at work at a prestigious plastic surgeon's office a total of 5 times I was laughing so hard. This is a must-read for lover's of fiction, family and relationship reader's and who would have thought that this plot would be so "tight" and crisp for an unknown first time author. I am leaving out specifics about the book on purpose because this is a true must-read, must-have and Toschia will have you on the floor crying! There is a scene where the male-character sings jingles dressed as Dora the Explorer! Bravo Toschia, I can't wait for the sequel and you know you are "Wrong For That"
A happy reader,

2.0 out of 5 stars Rhea, YOU'RE wrong for that., June 19, 2005

By

This review is from: You Wrong for That (Paperback)

Toschia would like us to believe that Rhea, our protagonist, is this strong yet sassy sista who's got it going on making a life for herself in Hotlanta. She comes from a wealthy family with a strong and proud Haitian/Cuban heritage. With close friends and family and organizational involvements, one would think that Rhea is complete, but is she?

The books' opening pulls you in. Rhea tells of her divorce from Marcus. Amidst doubts and fears, she thought she was destined to live the "perfect life" of a Doctor's wife. But unbeknownst to Rhea, a "friend" has wormed her way into Marcus's life and puts a knife in the coffin of an already doomed marriage. She swears off men until Davis enters. Afraid of being hurt again, she tries not to be enticed into starting another relationship but is quickly swept off her feet and lured into more drama than she'd ever imagine. Should she stay or should she go is the question? Why the answer is ostensibly so hard is beyond me.

Rhea's reasoning for her actions were too far fetched for words. Like most of us, sometimes Rhea has mood swings, raging hormones and family issues to content with. And yes, sometimes the heart and the mind are not always on the same page. This still wasn't enough to justify being so blinded by such a non-deserving, immature and uncaring man.

I won this book and therefore had to write a review. Besides, the author's a Soror so I really wanted to like it. True, the lack of editing was a distraction but can almost be overlooked with hot-tempered dialog and explicit sex scenes. However, the underdeveloped relationships made it hard for you to empathize with Rhea. You Wrong For That fell short of being a well thought-out fun read. I'm confident though that the sequel (there has to be a sequel) will surely be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this!, June 13, 2004

By 

Ann Williams (Round Rock, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: You Wrong For That (Paperback)

I think it's terrible that people can now voice their personal hatred about an author instead of rating the work fairly. It's terrible that reader's are allowed to repost negative reviews under different names and accuse the author of faking reviews. I like most readers look at reviews when looking to purchase books. Once I saw a review by best-selling author Sheila Goss (www.sheilagoss.com)of "Roses are Thorns" of the Talented Tenth Reviewers and saw that it was favorable I purchased it. This was a very good book, it had some typo's but most self-published books do. The editing issues were not so that you wanted to not read the book, the drama was so intense that whatever few typos there were was not a big deal. If it was so terrible it wouldn't be re-released from a major publisher. This book was full of drama, suspense and is a very good book. Other's think so too.

I guess these nationwide reviewers are all made up to? They all have many reviews and all have given this novel positive reviews. Toschia did a fantastic job with her debut novel and I'm looking forward to the rereleased version.
