Fletcher Mitchell stared out the window and was unable to accept that his wife, the woman he loved and married was getting out of a car with another man. Unable to move or react, he watched the guy walk around and open the door for her. Offering his hand, she took it and got out. He opened the gate for her but wasn't stupid enough to walk inside. He held his breath, praying she wouldn't be dumb enough to allow him to kiss her in front of their home, but he wasn't sure because if she were bold enough to allow him to bring her home when her husband and children were inside, she might. It took everything in him not to go outside and confront them but his sons were inside. Thankfully, she simply flicked her fingers and strode up the sidewalk with the guy watching her until she got inside.Denisha jumped out of her skin when Fletcher stood up, turning on the light. The shock on her face quickly changed to a mocking look. The one she always got when she knew she was wrong and no longer cared. He knew she had not cared for a long time and tonight was the final proof. There was so much he wanted to say but he refused to utter a word. Making his way to the room where his twin sons slept, he sat in the recliner next to their beds. The words his mother had uttered two years earlier pounded in his head, "Son, be careful who you tie your soul to, everything that is good to you is not good for you and ripe fruit soon spoils."Pain rocked through him because that is exactly what had occurred. He had tied his soul to her, allowing her to mother his children and his life was filled with rotten fruit.

He was a tall handsome man with dark Arabic skin, short curly hair and a soft low-cut beard. Dressed in jeans and a white shirt it was also clear he was in great shape. His eyes zoomed in on Sadia who was working with the crowd, getting them in and out of line as smoothly as possible. His eyes roamed over her thinking, "Her photo and video did her no justice. She is stunning." Feeling someone looking at her, she turned to look directly into Mahad's face and felt something jolt through her. Damn, that is one gorgeous man. She thought before turning back to her customers. Mahad walked around, browsing her shelves, filling his arms with books he wanted to read. He loved reading books on architecture; he also loved history and biographies. He became lost in the wonderful collection "Would you like a bag?" A throaty voice asked behind him. Turning, he saw Sadia standing close to him, offering him a huge cloth bag with the store's logo of a huge book and a cup. "I suppose, I need one. Your place is wonderful. Cyrus is my friend." His eyes pierced hers and she was unable to look away. "Great, great. I don't see his book among those." He grinned at her words. His smile and lips made her heart flutter. "Right, I will get that once the line goes down, I am not done shopping." "Then don't let me be a distraction to you..." "It is too late, you have already distracted me. My name is Mahad Basari. I am originally from Saudi Arabia but this is now my home." Taking her hand, he held it and she felt sweat gather at the nape of her neck and trickle down. Slowly removing her hand, she smiled at him. "I am Sadia Lemont." She hurried away feeling his eyes on her.

The attraction is instant, sexually intense and honest between Sadia and Mahad. While family and friends' expectations, betrayal and cultural traditions throw up seemingly insurmountable roadblocks, the difficulties make the romantic journey that much sweeter.Menchan does a fine job with shifting the lens to capture the characters' unique perspective and motivations. She creates a melting pot of diverse goodness to be served up for a fulfilling read. Well done

She was thirty-seven, and more than half her life had been spent since then. Standing in the mirror, she took her own measure and knew it was only God who kept her. The fact she looked halfway decent was a miracle and as her grandma used to say, "Proof that Jesus was real."Anise was going to church...

More Womanish: She Survives is more stories of women, real women with real ish that they are always in the struggle to survive. Review for Womanish: WomanIsh. Yes...it's all that the title enamored and more. Angelia Vernon Menchan once again has stepped outside of the usual and fully embraces real life stigmas many won't address. Menchan takes the reader on a situation-based ride varying from love, self-esteem, lack of respect, pitfalls and even further questions the security of one's stability while married. Not only does she utilize the muse smartly, she shows counsel and guidance, post story. For an author of Menchan's realistic writing style and candor, she has touched me on more than one occasion in her past works. One thing is for certain, "WomanIsh" is a must read for 2016 Highly recommended for women of all walks of life, book clubs and the like. Loretta R. Walls CEO, Nu Cherte Publishing
