After reading the "rave" reviews from others about this book...I picked this up and I have had it for quite some time because after reading Ms. Octavia's book His First Wife, I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this one and needless to say that I DID NOT like this book at all. I found the whole "TAKE HER MAN" Plan stupid and frankly quite childish.... The fact that Troy who described herself as a "Fine, Black, Intelligent Woman" played herself in such a desperate way. The fact that Julian dumped her in the first place should have gave her a clue that he wasn't the one...I couldn't even finish this one and I know I will NOT try this author again.....
