Desperate Times = Desperate Measures

DESPERATE HOODWIVES is the tale of four women who will do anything to escape the hood. Aisha has a loving husband who provides her with everything money can buy, but when he lands in jail, Aisha may have to compromise her values to keep her street credibility intact. Devani thought she hit the jackpot when she lands pro athlete Tyrik. When Tyrik becomes distant, Devani devises a scheme to force him to stay in her life forever. Molly's love for Junior led to her family disowning her. When Junior crosses the line for the last time will love be enough to keep them together? Lexi has found Mr. Right. Even though he provides for her and her five children, she still isn't satisfied. Will she allow lust for her ex destroy the family she and Luther have created? DESPERATE HOODWIVES is the first in the Hoodwives series. Meesha Mink and De'Nesha Diamond have written a drama-entrenched novel that leaves no stone unturned. Erotic and explosive, DESPERATE HOODWIVES is a well-written and I could not put down. I am anxiously awaiting the sequel, Shameless Hoodwives because DESPERATE HOODWIVES is a classic. Part erotica, part urban fiction, part horror, DESPERATE HOODWIVES has a little something for every reader. Reviewed by Katrina of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

The Women of Bentley Manor

DESPERATE HOODWVIES is the story of four women living in a low income housing complex called Bentley Manor. Each women has a different life situation, yet all of their lives end up as one giant circle of tragedy. Lexi has five children fathered by four different men. Each "love" story in her past has ended in loneliness, except for the current one that includes her husband, Luther. Lexi thinks her life is headed in the right direction, until one day when her life flashes before her. Aisha and her drug-dealing husband, Maleek, were a happy couple until he goes to prison. Left to fend for herself, Aisha finds a way to make some fast cash to keep her expensive lifestyle afloat. Aisha's life takes a tragic turn for the worst, and her life is forever altered. Devani is a young lady who desperately wants to leave her surroundings behind. NFL star Tyrik could be Devani's ticket out of the projects, or her fate. Molly comes from a wealthy family, but gives up everything to make a life with Junior. Molly loves her husband Junior more than life itself and makes every sacrifice for him, only to experience a life of poverty, abuse, and shame. All four of these women experience the shame of their surroundings and the consequences of their relationship choices. Although strangers for the most part, they all share the same fate in the end--pain and tragedy. Once you start reading DESPERATE HOODWIVES, you can't put it down. It will make you laugh and cry, but most of all it will make you think about your choices in life and how they will impact your future.

Great book

I loved, loved this book!! I could not put this book down at all. This book was a definite page turner and at the end it left me wanting more. I have to say that Junior was something else and I was a little surprised by the ending. The book just draws you in and make you feel like you know these characters. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone and I cannot wait for Shameless Hoodwives to hit the shelves. Great job ladies!! You did your thing!!
