Dwight and Tracy Wilson are happily married with two children and living the good life. They just purchased Tracy’s dream home in Jacksonville, Florida. The good life is destroyed when Dwight is offered a promotion, but has to move to Maryland. Tracy selfishly decides that she wants no part of it and will not be moving. She sends Dwight on his way. Alone in a new city, Dwight takes comfort with his coworker, Alicia Dixon. The attraction is mutual but they both respect that he is a married man. As time goes on and Dwight realizes his marriage with Tracy is crumbling, he leans more and more towards a relationship with Alicia.

Alicia finds out that she is pregnant and the whole game changes. For years, she has declared never to get married or have children. In the blink of an eye, life changes. Dwight ends his marriage to Tracey to start a new life with Alicia. Life could not get any better. That is because it got a whole lot worse.

Candice Dow and Daaimah S. Poole come together for a great collaboration with We Take This Man. The story is told from the point-of -view of both women. The back and forth between the women is hilarious. The drama is never ending. The solution they come up with is unbelievable. Another book that I read in one night. You will not want to put this down. You will be on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I have never read anything by Dow but I read Poole’s, Yo Yo Love. I highly recommend We Take This Man for fans of both authors.

    Hmmm…ok I would leave Jacksonville in a heart beat, but maybe that is because Maryland gets me closer to NJ…LOL.. I am going to have to check this book out. Love the review.

    I am so sorry to put salt in the punch, but I was utterly dissapointed with this novel. I am a HUGE fan of Candice Dow! Based on the plot of the book, it sounded great.
    And although she explains that this is just a work of fiction, it is still very whimsical and unbelieveable. I don’t know if it was the callaboration, the idea to add depth to such a strange plot or just not a well written book. Anyway, just my 2 cents….

    Hey Candyce…I know and like both authors…however I heard the same thing about this book…sometimes colloborations just don’t work out very well…and sometimes every book isn’t for every reader…but there’s a book for every reader. I realize that while I personally like many authors…I don’t necessarily enjoy all of their works…so when the book description doesn’t interest me…I keep it moving…lol.
