Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-14 00:00:00 Dan Wales Corruption Breeds Strange Bedfellows Mr. David Joseph is taking full advantage of the American dream. Though he may not have the right background and pedigree, David's Princeton education lands him in a trainee position at Argon where he's worked his way up to Chairmanship for the Board of Directors along with the Presidency. However, lurking in the back of the boardroom is laundering, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds and fraud. Will these elements eliminate the perfect predecessor? Chase International has secured controlling interest in Sterling Enterprise. Is this a flourishing new partnership or will deceit, greed and vengeance be on the stock ticker? "Chase" by twin sisters, KeIsha and Mekeba Sharp, introduce readers to rich and powerful African Americans. I promise it was like reading an episode of Dallas with the families fighting to control the company and befriending the enemies only to find that there are still a million secrets, lies, deceit and yes, kissing cousins. My only immediate issues were the business acronyms. Reviewed by: Crystal

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-27 00:00:00 Simpson Steven Lord Vishnu's Love Handles is unexpectedly fleshy and overly brash. Its protagonist spends so much time shooting his mouth off that I think the author may have forgotten that, as readers, we're probably more apt to enjoy his work if we don't hate its main character. There's no redemption here. There's barely a coherent plot. What there is, in spades, is a lot of unnecessary bawdiness. The premise is simple, and then convoluted. Yuppie man leads charmed existence, with a side of psychic abilities and a drinking problem. His life is turned upside down and he ends up making a deal with the devil (in this case a super-secret government ESP organization). Enter the bad guy and a dozen or so plot mishaps magically healed by convenient sixth-sense-iness. Sprinkle with lots of excessive aggression and pseudo-sexy undertones and viola! Don't get me wrong. I love a good silly yet dirty romp as much as the next girl, but this one left me feeling unfulfilled. Like I'd somehow just read a big mac and then wiped the grease off my hands onto a second-hand negligee.
