Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Secret Dramas by Angela Wallace is one of the most intense novels of the year! Meet high drama rolling girlfriends like Alexis Stewart, Jaylin Saunders, Adrienne Chambers and Sheri Thomas who are flawlessly described with masterful execution by this extremely talented and gifted writer.Their characters are intense, bold, daring, off the edge, large and in charge. The ladies are all holding down big time positions, but Ms. Angela Wallace has added a beguiling and life threatening twist to each one's lives that become dangerously entangled with secrets and lies that hide drugs, prostitution, mob affiliation and perhaps, even murder.Alexis is the television producer of a popular daytime soap opera. She has major issues with Stephan, an ex-lover who thinks he can take advantage of her and block her from succeeding. Jaylin Saunders is a publisher and unfortunately is tangled in a mess with an unsavory business partner.Adrienne is an office manager, but her affiliations with the mob may lead her to self destruction. Sheri has a high profile job as an investment manager, but her secret habit of abusing drugs may get the best of her. The story keeps boiling to a dramatic ending filled with plenty of action and riveting dialogue that may be the first novel to place women in control of their destiny and all for the love of money. However, are they willing to risk it all to have it all? Secret Drama is a fast turning novel and biggest surprise of the year that will claim the author's reign to fame as the "Goddess of Upscale Chic-Lit Drama." The novel is a winner, and ready made for the movie screen. There is no doubt that the fast paced drama will land itself into the hands of a big time producer. A new drama queen is born. The author's passion for writing is evident in this masterful and seasoned work from beginning to end and as if she has been writing her whole life. Reviewed by Heather Covington/(...)
Some Secrets NEED to be Told!!!

Alexis, Jaylin, Adrienne and Sheri have been friends for years. Alexis Stewart is an Executive Producer for the hottest daytime soap opera. Jaylin Saunders is the Publisher of a prominent, black publication. Adrienne Chambers is a sexy office manager by day, high priced call girl at night. Sheri Thomas is an investment manager for one of Wall Street's largest firms. First of all - Congrats to Ms. Wallace, "do it yourselfer independent author"!!! When I first heard about the book, I was eager to read it. I promised I would be objective. Once I started reading it, I was hooked. The author ingeniously interweaves the lives of not only the main characters, but the other characters in the story as well. Descriptive, yet classy love scenes. Scandal. Great dialogue between the characters and plenty of DRAMA!!! You name it - it's in there: Struggle of independent women. Importance of friendship. Relationship issues. Money issues. Drug addiction (I ain't squealin' on which one is the addict, read it for yourself!!) Money laundering. Murder. All the makings of a great made-for-tv mini-series! Reminded me a lot of the Jackie Collins type novels that had me hooked back in the day. It's a real page turner. As I got toward the middle of the book, I couldn't get to the next chapter quick enough. When I realized I was almost finished, I tried to pace myself to drag it out. A intriguing story with a well thought out plot and great characters. What I really and truly enjoyed about this book was: The men were not all dogs!!! Realistic, well-developed male characters with positive traits. (Does Malcolm have a brother?!?) Support this writer!! I already sent her my suggestions for the sequel... PEACE

I must say this was a remix of The Saprano's and All My Children. I really enjoyed this book. It was hard to put it down. It is really sort of a mystery/suspense in a way. I love the way you surrounded it around the Mob, that made it even more interesting. I like how you brought the relationship between Sheri and Adrienne together. These two sistas were really going through their own separate situations but overall could relate to each others separate problem. It just would have been more predictable for any of the other ladies to come to her aid and be the way to instill the positive message that Adrienne presented. I believe that the male figures in the book are realistic, some women may beg to differ but I like how you made them out to be positive and not so bad, now I can't say the same for Mike Brown but his character just made the story HOTTER! I like how in the ending all the characters were pulled together even though in the beginning you would have never imagined their connection. Now Antonia was truly a fatal attraction honey. You can surely see her family traits from head to toe. She really tried to use that family status at her advantage and I love the way you worked it out where it all worked against her. Overall, this was a fabulous novel it could definitely be turned in a mini series so put that out there and claim it. I would be a number one fan.
