Great Read

I really enjoyed this book it was something different from the regualar street lit. It shows what today's grandmothers go through with kids today. Not only do they raise there own kids but they have to raise there grandchildren as well. Hattie was one strong grandmother to stand up to that monster Topps the kids father. This was a good book don't pass this one up.

page turner and more

Action Packed Thriller

D.Y. Phillips has penned a fast-paced thriller that had me caught up and cheering for Hattie Sims from the start of the novel. Hattie is a grandmother who refuses to back down from a ruthless drug dealer, Topps Jackson, who happens to be the father of her grandchildren. This is not your typical street fiction. Love Trumps Game is extremely well written and has a very unique story line. With all the grandmothers having to raise children these days, I'm surprised that I haven't read anything written from a world-weary grandmother's perspective until now. D,Y. Phillips' portrayal of Topps is chillingly descriptive. Mean to the bone, Topps gets pleasure from intimidating others. From his crude behavior to his abberant parenting, Topps is one of the most vicious characters I've come across in a long time. The cremation scene had my heart thumping and my mouth wide open. Kudos to Ms. Phillips. I highly recommend Love Trumps Game.

MONSTER

Hattie Sims is looking forward to enjoying her early retirement. Little does she realize that this is not going to happen anytime soon. With her youngest daughter, Neema, constantly leaving her two children behind and disappearing for days on end, leaves Hattie little time to herself. Not only is she taking care of her bad ass little grandchildren, but she has to deal with their crazed father, Topps Jackson, whom is a ruthless drug dealer. When Neema, mysteriously disappears, Hattie has a feeling that Topps has something to do with her disappearance. When Topps comes to the door demanding his children and Hattie refuses to relinquish them, he is determined to get them back...one way or another. Issuing threats that Hattie does not take lightly, forces her and the children on the run, staying with friends, family and strangers. Will Neema resurface? Dead or alive? Who or what is behind Neema's disappearance? What will become of Hattie and the children? These are immediate questions you will be asking yourself, while you are constantly turning the pages to find out what happens next. LOVE TRUMPS GAME by D.Y. Phillips will have you engrossed from the very first page. It is rare that you will find that perfect book, mixed with all the elements of a 5 star read, that you just want to tell everyone to run out and get. LOVE TRUMPS GAME was one of those books. It had me on an emotional rollercoaster with all the drama and suspense. LOVE TRUMPS GAME is an on the edge of your seat page-turner. This is one of the best books I have read so far in 2009.
