Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Weber considers the travails of searching for love in New York's African American community from a male perspective through the experiences of a quartet of coworkers at a high school in Queens. When Kevin, a 23-year-old teacher who blew his chance in the NBA, tells Antoine, a 36-year-old English teacher and poet, and Tyrone, a 30-year-old ex-gang member turned security guard, about a phone dating service he's joined, his friends make fun of him, but the laugh is on them when they see Kevin's gorgeous date. So Tyrone, a self-described "player" looking for a little action, gives it a try, as does Antoine, who seeks someone to share his poetry. Even the unsavory school principal gets in the act after finding the dating service phone number on the gym floor. Each man grows through his encounters with women, and Weber goes beyond the usual dating cliches in this funny, affectionate, and stirring romance aimed at convincing readers that although the road to true love is rocky, it's still worth traversing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Job!!, September 8, 2000
This book came recommended to me by two wonderful people that I know, one being the Diva of Romance herself, Rochelle Alers and second my friend of Montsho, Jackie Perkins. They both said you gotta read this book by Carl Weber. Guess what, I did and I really had fun reading this book. It was not a dull moment in this book, it sorta kept me grabbing the book even when I knew I needed to sleep. The book is full of so much DRAMA that I believe that is what kept it so interesting.

I am the true romance reader but it was very refreshing having Mr. Weber illustrate in this book the lives of four African-American men from various backgrounds with different agendas. But they had one thing in common, they all end up calling this love line (1-900-Black Luv). The book revolves around what each one encounters from the selected mates from that love line.

It's funny, it's some food for thought-type book, it is an easy read that it works like a magnet pulling you deep into the story.

I strongly recommend this book, especially to my very special set of romance readers, they know who they are because they check on my reviews all the time. Now it does not have those high initimate scenes you're accustomed to but you should definetly enjoy the break because this book does provide just what Doctor BJ orders: LAUGHTER, FUN, EASY-READING AND RELAXATION!!

One great thing about my reading this book and having my own personal copy is that Carl Weber will be here in my city this month and of course I can have it autographed.

Looking forward to the next Carl Weber novel!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dial 1-900 For Luv!, November 29, 2000
By Yasmin Coleman (PENNSYLVANIA, USA) - See all my reviews
  
Looking for a book to pick you up and make you laugh and one that presents AA males in a normal, realistic perspective...then look no further than Lookin' For Luv. This debut novel from Carl Weber is witty, entertaining, easy to read and filled with realistic characters and situations. Lookin' For Luv is the story of four AA men who work together and who are all looking for love via 1-900-BLACK LUV. The storyline is told from the AA male's perspective and combines comedy, drama, romance, dating during the '90s and contemporary issues to form a compelling and well crafted tale. Everyone who's ever been in the dating game can relate to at least one of the colorful characters in this book. These characters provide antics and situations which keep you LOL(laughing out loud), ROTF(rolling on the floor), hollering out loud and talking to the book..."no he/she didn't go there". My favorite character was Tyrone gosh was this brotha smooth with his 10 Rules to Satisfy a Woman; and my least favorite character who had absolutely no obvious redeeming qualities was Maurice. Yes I thoroughly enjoyed Lookin' For Luv and highly recommend it for a chance of pace...if you want to laugh a lot then pick up this book today...you won't be disappointed. Okay you might be disappointed with the epilogue...I didn't think it was fair to one of the characters and was oh so cold...and the cover could use some work. The couple portrayed(on the cover) makes it seem that Lookin' For Luv is only for a very young audience but the characters are relatable to anyone including those folks who are in their 20s or their 50s. BOTTOM LINE: I still really really really like Lookin' For Luv and am looking forward to future novels from newcomer Carl Weber.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOOKIN' FOR SOMETHING GOOD TO READ, BUY THIS BOOK!!, October 3, 2000
By "kendari2" (California) - See all my reviews
I purchased Lookin' for Luv after reading the very favorable reviews and I was not disppointed. This book is a page turner, full of drama.

The story of four men, looking for love by calling 1-900-Black Luv. We get to meet Kevin, Tyrone, Antoine, and Maurice. We get a glimpse into each of their lives and boy will you be surprised. This book will take you on a rollercoastr ride that will have you laughing, screaming and talking out loud to the characters.

I am looking forward to many more novels by Carl Weber. Continued success and blessings. Peace!!
