When a random man in a club slipped a gun into her pocketbook in a nightclub where girls weren't searched for weapons, all Pam could think of was how cute he was.

Sequel

Very entertaining!!! It's makes you think..... Read it and tell me what would u do?

Should of been first book

I liked the relationship that formed between them. I thought it was a good love story until he flipped out and broke her heart. I just didnt feel he had a strong enough reason to just dump her and marry another. Also this should have been the first book because once you read Let That Be The Reason you really dont want to read how they were so in love. I like the book but in the back of my mind I just kept thinking how they dont end up together and how he dogged her out.

good book

i enjoyed reading this book, got a chance to read the story from the begining.

There Is Always a Reason

Vickie M. Stringer's latest release, The Reason Why, is the prequel to Let That Be the Reason where we were introduced to Pamela and her alter ego, Carmen; a single mother who provided for her child by any means necessary. The Reason Why totally delivers on its title by showing readers how Pamela and Chino hook-up. For Pamela, it was a normal night at the club until Chino walked up to her and slipped his gun into her purse. Though Pam was hesitant, Chino dropped game on her and the rest is history. Their relationship seemed to move with lightening speed. Love came almost instantaneously and with high costs. Pamela went from a naïve college student to a ride-or-die chick. But what happens when the chips are down and the hustler folds his hand? If you read Let That Be the Reason, then you know the answer, but The Reason Why tells you how it all began. Stringer created something readers have been asking for. Though I read Let That Be the Reason years ago, I remember wondering how Pam and Chino's relationship began. This was a quick-read and definitely in the author's fashion. Since the story is based in 1988, I question some of the word usage. But overall, it was a good, urban love story. Stringer fans will enjoy The Reason Why and new readers are guaranteed to pick-up the subsequent novels. Darnetta Frazier APOOO BookClub
