It’s All About Control
Dwayne Joseph introduces readers to a different type of story in Home Wrecker. Marlene knows that her husband, Steve, is having an affair with his secretary. After all, according to Marlene, Steve has sex like he invented it and no one can resist him or his manhood. Marlene wants a divorce but there are complications. Her co-worker, Lisette, comes up with a plan. A deal is made and Lisette makes twenty-five thousand dollars. Marlene gets her divorce with some added perks and Lisette embarks on a lucrative career.
Lisette enjoys her job of helping women get rid of their husbands; until she meets Kyra. Kyra wants to get rid of her husband and out of the prenuptial agreement she signed. There is something about Kyra and the job she wants done that does not appeal to Lisette. When Lisette turns down the offer, Kyra makes threats that Lisette ignores until she is faced with losing all control.
Home Wrecker is sexy and will keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to figure out the next move of Lisette and Kyra – two women who refuse to relinquish their control over any situation. Lisette is arrogant and manipulative and is used to having it all on her terms; and Kyra simply wants what everyone has and then some. Joseph has given readers a sexy mystery that will leave them craving for more.

Priscilla’s review makes me want to read this book.
Dera’s last blog post..I’ve Been Tagged
Thanks Dera… It really kept me on the edge of my seat.
I ordered this one too. Could not resist after reading the review from Cilla.
Priscilla… thank you for the great review!! I am very glad you enjoyed the novel and very glad that you were feeling Lisette! I appreciate the review and the post on amazon.com as well!! Looking forward to you guys reading the next one!
Hey Dwayne…I’ve got to talk about Lisette…I’m going to write a new post hopefully later today…so if you get a chance swing back by to hear my thoughts.
Dwayne .. we gotta talk about Lisette!! Sistah on a mission… Glad you liked the review. This was a book I truely could not put down.
I will definitely swing through again!! I tried to make her as memorable as I could. I do miss her and if I do a sequal, it will be because I think she really has to make a comeback.
After listening to the blog talk radio interview last night, I will purchase Home Wrecker. I’ve never read any of Dwayne’s books, but I will give this one a try.
