Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Men and women test the limits of love and devotion in this sexy and suspensful first novel, which evokes the emotional honesty and moral complexity of real life.

Newcomer Shonda Cheekes makes her contemporary debut in a hip, wonderfully wise story about letting go and moving on.

When Yani Fenton married Jarrin Miller, she thought it would last forever. But five years ago, her husband of fifteen years walked out on his family without a backward glance. Since then, Yani and her two children have played a waiting game, certain that he is coming back. Now, with the help of her friends and her sister Asia, Yani is finally over her "love hangover" and ready to get on with her life. At a party, she meets Alex Chance, a prominent New York businessman who's looking for a relationship with a woman who isn't out for everything she can get. Their powerful attraction leads to a whirlwind courtship and a fairy-tale like wedding. But their happy ending is threatened by Jarrin's sudden reappearance, which forces Yani to face the truth about her marriage -- and the life-altering choice she will have to make as another man's wife.

With generous helpings of affection, humor, and romantic suspense, Shonda Cheekes has created a story that crackles with wit and the rifs and rhythms of modern life. Alternating between the first-person outlooks of Yani and Alex, Another Man's Wife captivates readers with a sassy tale of brothers and sisters on the move andsearching for love and fulfillment. Imbuded with the author's fresh, unique voice, it is a provocative and seductive look at relationships in the twenty-first century. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Waiting for the inevitable, November 1, 2003
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE tells about friendship, marriage and family. Yani, Asia, and Alex each have something in common. Yani is slowly coming to realize that her first and only love Jarrin may never return after five years of waiting for the inevitable. Asia is looking for love and can't help but wonder if it's in the right place. Alex keeps attracting the wrong type women and is ready for a change. Bryce and Carmen, who are mutual friends to them all, have what Yani, Alex and Asia want... a happy marriage.

When Bryce and Carmen decide to play "matchmaker" and skillfully plan the meeting of Alex and Yani, the results are more than they expect. Will Alex tell Yani who he really is or will he keep his true identity under wraps until he's absolutely sure? Will Yani tell Alex her secret? In the meantime, Asia is trying to see if a lost love can be rekindled when she ends up in Miami with her former fiancé, Hayden. Why was their engagement called off?

ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE takes you through the trials and tribulations of relationships and shows you how lies, untold stories and uncertainty can either make them stronger or make them diminish. Experience the whirlwind courtship of Yani and Alex and the sexually driven relationship of Asia and Hayden. Mrs. Cheekes does an excellent job of telling each story in the first person with a smooth transition from one to the other.

ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE is a highly recommended read that is guaranteed to keep you wondering what happens next. It's not predictable and the end results are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and tears in your eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!, March 30, 2004
By A Customer
I picked this book up Saturday night and was finished by noon Sunday! Wow! A really easy read. I fell in love with Ms. Asia. I hope there'll be a second part to let us know whether or not Asia gets it together and if anything new should happen between Alex and Asia. And let's not forget the other perfect couple, Carmen and Bryce. They all seemed like people I could hang with. I'm all ready to plan my trip to Miami so I can hit the hot spots in the book! I recommend this book to all who want to know how women should really be treated. The author did a good job of portraying men in a positive light. Go out and get your copy today!

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome read . . ., November 14, 2003
By "adlaloop" (Houston, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
What a wonderful story! Congratulations to Shonda Cheeks! She took a familiar storyline and gave us memorable characters and drama with a different flavor. I was completely in the story form the first chapter. It is a page turner. I will definately list this as one of my Best Books for 2003.

Can't wait for Ms Cheeks next book.
