Book Reviews of Afterburn: A Novel
Book Review: Why all the hype? A lot of people are lying....
Summary: 2 Stars
I heard all about how great this book was. I love black urban fiction and one of my girls kept saying don't read other urban erotic writers read Zane. Well I am too damn disappointed because there is absolutely nothing urban about this book. These people could be white for all I know because there is nothing street or even black-sounding about the story. I should have known that with a man named Yardley. I say the ending is stupid too because it comes out of nowhere and doesn't make sense. This is not urban erotica street fiction. It is just a regular book with somebody trying to write about sex.Book Review: Yet another great read from Zane :->
Summary: 5 Stars
I always enjoy getting started in a new Zane book. I know I'm always going to love it and this didn't disappoint. She is such a good writer and has used a good mix of love, drama, sex and humour here. The story lines are never totally deep, but they always get you hooked and you can't put them down. I loved Rayne (hated her mother) and really totally loved Yardley. He seems to be every girls dream and her characters are most of the reason I enjoy her books. This is an easy read - I did it in under 2 days. You'll enjoy it if you have loved her other books, and don't blush easy. Go get this now.Book Review: i loved it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rayne Waters is a African American woman who's looking for a man that she can keep because the men that she had relationships with are mostly treating her like she's a play toy.
Yardley Brown is a man trying to find true love in everyway possible because he had been through a lot with women because they think they can use him for what he got.
I felt that the book Afterburn by Zane is powerful. It made me feel like I was a part of it somehow. It made me really think about how good God is to me for giving me another day to breath to live on his earth and it made me realize that life is too short and if you have a change to make everything right you should go for it because life is too short.
I think Zane wrote the book so that you can understand the good and bad about relationships and love everything about the book is very interesting because it relates to stuff that happens in real life. The words he uses in the book is very powerful. The characters are so interesting at playing their parts because because they're real they state facts about everything you go through when you're in love, the ups and downs that we as people go through in life.
Book Review: All I can say is...
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I truly did not expect the ending of this book. I was so mad, and upset, and angry at what happened at the end to cause such devastation to the otherwise love-filled story. However, at the very very end, I started to like the book again because it ended with mystery. When the next one comes out, I'm definitely going to get it.
Great book. Just don't get mad at the end, and stop reading it... finish the book! Its well worth the read.
Book Review: Afterburn Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Rayne, a perfect size sixteen, has been unlucky in love. Instead of being overly concerned about her weight, she feels that God blessed her "with the extra weight and it was meant to be." Her self confidence still can't save her from one dating disaster after another. Rayne doesn't think she'll ever find someone to settle down with.
Yardley is looking for more than just meaningless sex. He wants a relationship, but so far real love has eluded him. That is until he steps into his local bank and sees personal banker Rayne with her "healthy physique and legs for days." Both find themselves physically attracted to the other but assume each must already be involved with someone else. Circumstances finally bring these two together and a relationship begins. But can the relationship stand the test of time, resurfacing exes, family, and personal baggage?
Zane has taken it back to the basics with her latest release. Afterburn focuses more on substance than the jaw dropping sex we've become accustomed to. But no need to be alarmed Zane fans, there is still plenty of her signature erotica. Afterburn offers more than simply an entertaining read. It clearly has a message that is effectively delivered through an unexpected turn of events. Job well done.
