The Last Good Kiss

By Janice Pinnock

Book Overview

Sex and the City meets soul in this tale of Tamara Jones, a sexy, savvy businesswoman who is blessed--and cursed--by six sometimes selfish, yet always supportive girlfriends who all take on the tribulations of friends, family, and, of course, love.

Set in New York City, Tamara Jones's latest escapade is with her new boyfriend, Tyrone. Tyrone is ambitious and handsome, and Tamara intends to fulfill her dream of marital bliss with him, down to the white picket fence, dog, and two-point-five children. But good intentions never guarantee good results, and soon questions start popping up that challenge their relationship. Does he know her well enough? Is he enough of a challenge to keep her interest? Or will Tyrone fall by the wayside in Tamara's constant search for The One?

When Tamara comes to the aid of an old flame who's gotten in legal trouble, her convoluted emotions become even more complicated. Her life quickly becomes a balancing act between her mother's sudden illness, the complex lives of her girlfriends, managing Tyrone, and keeping a dear friend out of jail. It all seems too much, but Tamara can always keep everything in satisfactory order--or can she?

Fantastic, Couldn't put it down!

I read this book in a very short period of time. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Really gets you into the characters and how you feel about the outcome. I even shed tears at one point. Enjoyed it so much! Looking forward to the next book.

A PAGE TURNER!

From the first page I was caught up in the life of Tamara Jones and her friends lives. The scare of her mother's cancer brings the two even closer, forming an even tighter bond. Then there is the relationship she has with her boyfriend who seems to be every woman's fantasy man, he is attentive, romantic, sexy and most of all he is so in love with her but she is not sure if she feels the same, she knows that there is a strong feeling and that he is a wonderful man but she has a hard time getting too close. Then there is her relationship with her next door neighbor Quincy who she grew up with from grade school all the way to college. When he goes to jail for something he swears he didn't do, Tamara does he best to help him in anyway that she can, because the bond that they share is strong considering that they grew up together like brother and sister. Although Quincy has romantic feelings for her Tamara considers him more like a brother. The brother who always seems to get into some type of trouble, doing drugs and getting into fights. Will Quincy look at his time in jail as a wake up call and get his life together finally???? This was an excellant book, I read it in a day. The story flowed smoothly and gripped me from the first to the last page. It almost seemed as if I was watching a lifetime movie. Beautifully written! I look forward to reading more from this author. My final rating would have to be 5 stars!
