Marcus Major is back and at the top of his game with his latest novel, A Man Most Worthy. In A Man Most Worthy, Major introduces us to John Sebastian, Mister Extraordinaire and the envy of many. Sebastian has risen from the school of hard knocks and inner city poverty to become a tremendously successful businessman and multi-millionaire before the age of 40. He has all the trappings of success-he is good looking, has an extravagant home and Scent. Scent is the nice, sweet, intelligent, attractive, svelte, young 23 year old that he sports on his arm. She is good to look at and turns the head of many men, but Sebastian isn’t sure he really loves her. As Sebastian reflects about his life, he realizes that although everything looks good on the surface, something is amiss; primarily the woman that he allowed to get away seven years ago. Lately, Sebastian is unable to stop thinking about Josephine Flowers Prescott and decides to return to his hometown of Newark on the pretense of business, but really it is the business of Josephine that he has on his mind. Josephine hasn’t thought about Sebastian since she left him years ago; only months after her break-up from Sebastian, Josephine quickly found someone else. She had no sooner dropped the egotistical, self-absorbed, controlling Sebastian before she was engaged and married to Darrien Prescott. Sebastian isn’t used to hearing no and although Scent is still on the scene he seeks to correct the wrongs of the past and reconnect with the woman who got away. Getting rid of Scent might be the easy part, but will he be able to sway Josephine? And oh there’s also one slight dilemma that he seems to keep forgetting…Josephine is married. But is she happily married? Is he deserving of her love after all these years?
Read A Man Most Worthy and find out! Major has given us another creatively crafted novel that is worthy of consideration as it has all the ingredients of a good book…tight writing, great characterization, vivid imagery, and witty and contemporary dialogue. As expected, a Major book wouldn’t be complete without his trademark sensuous love scenes and positive male role models. A Man Most Worthy is an entertaining and insightful novel told from the male perspective that will keep you anxiously anticipating what is going to happen next as you encounter surprising and shocking plot twists and turns. Major’s latest novel is about love, friendship, deceit, secrets and redemption. I recommend this book to fans and new readers alike. Cuddle up with a warm cup of your favorite beverage and A Man Most Worthy today.
