Product Description

Katrina Easely has stood by the side of her ruthless boyfriend Snipes for so long that she can barely see her way out of his sticky web. She's dropped out of college in the middle of her freshman year, and has even become estranged from her family and close friends because of him.

But when Snipes shoots a cop, Katrina finds herself playing Bonnie to his Clyde as they run from the Feds. When things escalate, Katrina finds herself under intense pressure. Will she remain loyal to her man or will she break?

4.0 out of 5 stars What You Don't Know Can Hurt You, March 4, 2008

By	D. Frazier "Urban Fiction Queen" (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

How could an 18 year-old, aspiring veterinarian turn into a fleeing fugitive? Mark Anthony not only tells you, but shows you how in his latest release, Reasonable Doubt. Katrina Easley, of North Carolina, attended NYU to pursue her dreams. She was a na�ve introvert who lacked self-confidence and never felt she fit in anywhere. When she met Dwight `Snipes' Abrams, he became the missing link she needed to become `that' girl. Gradually sacrificing her educational goals to spend time with drug-dealing Snipes, Katrina ignored her voice of reason; her loyalty to him had too strong of a hold. Even when he became abusive, Katrina's na�vet� made her rationalize and dismiss his actions. When love caused her to cross state lines with a package for him, the game changed and she was not aware that any such game even existed. It was not until her brief stint behind bars that she understood the gravity of her situation yet was still confused about what she had done wrong. Would Katrina's relentless loyalty to Snipes cause her to ride-or-die for him? Or would that same spirit drive her over the brink of insanity?

Reasonable Doubt was a good, yet familiar, read. It captured the essence of what young, na�ve women go through when they truly do not know better. The storyline is familiar if you know anything about Kemba Smith's real life situation. This is the type of novel that will literally place you in another person's shoes and widen your perceptions of the other side of situations. Mark Anthony fans who have enjoyed his way with words will appreciate another well-written novel if they pick up Reasonable Doubt. I loved it and would rate it a five had the author acknowledged this story was based on Kemba Smith's life-story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lessons Learned, March 5, 2008

By	Urban-Reviews.com (Urban-Reviews.com) - See all my reviews

Katrina Easely is from a small town in North Carolina. She is just starting her freshman year at New York University and is trying to adjust to life in the big city with her roommate Candace. Katrina soon has a chance meeting with a mysterious man named Snipes. Katrina is instantly smitten by Snipes and rushes into a relationship with him despite her roommate Candace's warning about his questionable lifestyle. Blinded by the fast money, cars, and designer clothes, Katrina becomes Snipes' ride-or-die chick causing her to drop out of school in the middle of her freshman year. Things really spin dangerously out of control when Snipes shoots a cop causing him and Katrina to be on the run. Will Katrina be able to get out of this mess and have a normal life again?

Reasonable Doubt is a thought-provoking tale by Mark Anthony. Anthony eloquently told a story of how a naive young woman with a promising future can be lead down the wrong path by a devious man. The character development in this story was simply wonderful. You can clearly see how Katrina blindly trusted Snipes in the beginning of their relationship because she simply didn't know any better. You also see how Katrina had to learn some tough life lessons in being in this toxic situation. One of the biggest lessons in this story is that there is a definite price to pay when women decide to be in relationships with men like Snipes. The temporary money and designer clothes may seem nice but at cost are you willing to pay for this lifestyle? Another main focus of this story is how unfair the minimum sentencing law is in this country. Readers should take note of the valuable lessons in this novel. This story grabs you from the first page and doesn't let you go until the very end. Reasonable Doubt is emotionally charged and insightful. Mark Anthony has a definite winner on his hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark Anthony does it again......, January 2, 2009

By	Tiffany Y. Brutus "Book Lover" (MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mark Anthony is the man!! He has not disappointed me yet with his books. They are so good that I can not put them down until I reach the last page. It's amazing how much Katrina was clueless to a lot of thing. But, she learned in the end.
