Wishes

When three unlikely women get together to get revenge, they get more than they bargained for. Murder and revenge bring about a lot of twists and turns with a surprise ending. I will eagerly await the sequel!

Filled with intrigue, tension, and wonderfully tangled angles!

The potential ramifications of their pact were slowly becoming clear to the three women, once the alcohol-inducted courage had worn off. Could they really follow through with it? Could they risk the chaos that would occur if they didn't? Tess is the strong, seductive Madame X, and the subject of a search headed by none other than her own sister, a district attorney bent on protecting her constituents. Kim is a powerful businesswoman and media mogul, whose passionate affair with the wife of a respected congressman may cost her everything she has built, if her husband has his way. And then there is Nicole, a fiery and streetwise ex-convict, filled with anger towards her ex-boyfriend and accomplice, and with love and hope for her family. Their meeting was pure coincidence, but there similarities were eerie. All three are intelligent, beautiful, and strongly independent, and in need of revenge and restitution. Together they make the pact to silently and anonymously help each other solve their respective problems, knowing that their differences will protect them from suspicion. They soon discover the emotional consequences of conspiracy, and the lack of satisfaction in resolution. "Getting Hers" is a novel filled with intrigue, tension, and wonderfully tangled angles. The characters are incredible rich and colorful, and so well developed that they linger long after the book is finished. Donna Hill's writing is clear, descriptive, and above all, refreshingly mature; the characters are not watered down to be more morally acceptable to a broader spectrum of readers. Instead, they are sexual women, sometimes graphically so, with genuine thoughts and emotions. Donna Hill has many other novels to her credit that vary widely in the different genres, three of which have been adapted for television. She has won her share of awards for her work, as well as being recognized for her community service, including an organization that helps empower women and grants scholarships to deserving applicants. This is a must-read for anyone who loves written portraits of strong, independent women, or even those who simply enjoy an exciting mystery. Reviewer: Nancy Morris, Allbooks Reviews.

Donna Hill at her best...

This novel starts off at a funereal. We don't really know who died, how they died or any of the details but we know the woman whose head we are inside is not happy about being there. She meets two unlikely partners and begins a twisted plan to recoop some losses and feel better about the hand dealt to them all. A page turner.

One Common Denominator

Donna Hill returns with a thrilling novel about 3 women with one common goal, PAYBACK! Hill cleverly takes 3 very different women from 3 very different walks of life and brings them together through one common denominator. The main character, Tess, talks two strangers into committing murder in the name of retribution (now that's gangsta!) Do yourself a favor and read this novel. It's filled with suspense and several twists and turns. The story was so captivating, I read it in a couple of hours.

Donna Hill Does It Again !

Excellent. A Page Turner. If you like murder mystery and a book full of surprises, this is the book for you. Donna Hill has not normally written mysteries as she began as a romance novelist, but trying her hand in something different proved to be to the readers benefit. I read this book in 4 days and would highly recommend it. But its not just a mystery. Its about 3 women who forge an unexpected bond over an incredibly big secret. GO OUT AND BUY THIS BOOK !
