Love Frustration

I just finished Love Frustrations and I thought it was excellent! This is the first novel by RM Johnson that I have had the pleasure of reading, but I am definitely going to back track and read his other works! From the well developed characters to the well written dialogue, this book is absolutely EXCELLENT. I have read some of the reviews here and just like my review there isn't enough we can say to give this book justice! I think some of the reviewers give up too much of the story, but the book is so unpredictable you won't want to put it down! I couldn't!

Where do I start with this book? First of all, this book read like a movie. R.M. Johnson's writing puts you right there on the front seat of the movie. You can visualize everything.I like how he broke this novel up into characters. First, you have Jayson. He's what you consider a good man. Jayson is in love with a woman name Faith. At the beginning I liked Faith. I thought she was a nice woman that deserved a good man like Jayson until her best friend Karen shed some light on her. Karen had a small part in this book, but it was well worth it. I slowly began to hate Faith for the things she did to Jayson. Your mouth will literally drop once you find out her dirty secrets she has been keeping from Jayson. Faith is scandalous with a capital S!Then you have Asha, Jayson's best friend that Faith despies. Asha and Jayson use to be in a relationship. Things didn't work out so they became friends.....best friends. But little Miss Asha isn't too innocent herself. She has been keeping something from Jayson that will change the way he looks at her and what he thinks of her forever. This secret will have a major impact on Asha's life. Jayson was so upset about Asha's secret that he threw her out of of her apartment which happens to be the building he owns.Love Frustration is full of SECRETS, LIES, LOVE, BETRAYAL and MORE SECRETS! I enjoyed this book from the firts page to the last. Boy, was it GOOD! I recommned this book to all book lovers and to those who have an addiction for good books. This one is it. Ummmm....R.M. Johnson when is the next one coming out???! In the meantime while you are writing another bestseller I'll go and purchase the other two books that you wrote....The Harris Men & The Harris Family. You get five stars for this book no doubt. On my way to add you to my favorite author's list. You are up there with the best!!!P.S. You had me on the edge of my seat in the last three chapters! WHEW! (I can finally exhale now!)

In this latest novel by RM Johnson, frustration is just one of the many problems these characters face. The story centers around Jayson and his fiancé and soon-to-be wife, Faith and his best friend and former lover, Asha. When Jayson's friendship with Asha threatens his relationship with Faith, he is forced to make a decision. Will it be the right one? What are the consequences? I was so wrapped up in these characters that I felt as if I were in the room witnessing their emotions firsthand. The aspect I found most refreshing was the inner turmoil of Asha. I could feel her angst as she struggled with her sexuality. This was my first time reading about a woman in this situation and it was expertly done. The relationship between the characters was flawed as were the people. This did not make them bad, just human. This novel shows us that love does not always start off on solid ground. Sometimes it may make you cry. However, it can still prevail in the end. Like The Harris Men and The Harris Family, I felt like I was on an amusement park ride while reading Love Frustration. Nervous at the beginning, thrilled during the ride and sad when it was over. So, when Johnson's next novel hits the stores, you can bet I will be first in line to buy a ticket.
