Customer Reviews

Can you say Drama???

This book held my attention from the beginning to the end. The only problem I had is that I kept getting confused with which character was speaking. At times, it was not really clear. Other than that, this book was good and I hope there will be a sequel.

I Listened

In the beginning, this book was a bit difficult for me to follow. The author switched between both main characters so often and came up with such creative names for the chapters that it was hard to tell at times who was speaking. We'd love to think that school teachers wouldn't involve themselves with the likes of Jacob's and Diego's womanizing ways, but the sad reality is I'm sure that there are many teachers out there that can identify with these men from one extent or another--whether it be a high school teacher lusting over one of his students or an elementary school teacher ushering the kids off so he can get "busy" in the classroom. I felt sorry for Jacob at times and really had no respect for him. Diego, on the other hand, well, let's just say the twist in the ending brought a smirk to my face. I would love to read a follow-up and "listen" some more to these brothas.

Amazing

Darren Coleman has done it again. This novel is nothing short of amazing. It capitavated me from the very first page until the last page. This is an absolute must read.

Nobody does it like Darren Coleman

Everytime I read one of Darren Coleman's books I am left with my mouth wide open. From start to finish, Coleman has a unique ability to take you roller coaster ride. This book was even sexier than his previous titles (and they were all hottt!). I won't even lie, this one got me so riled up, at times I had to check the cover to make sure I wasn't reading a Zane title, then at other times I was reminded of a young Eric Jerome Dickey because of the writer's ability to weave fantastic storylines, non-stop action and true to life characters that jumped off the pages. I love his books because they give us insight as to how men operate, though I hope and pray ALL men aren't represented here. The characters, Diego, Jacob and all the women they loved in between made for an interesting mix, especially Diego's sister-in-law. I literally had this book in my hands for six hours straight and was depressed when the ride was over, wondering what I was going to read next. If you don't read anything else this year, do yourself a favor and read Ladies Listen Up! I laughed out loud, cringed at times and definitely was shocked and amazed as I read this one. No question, I'm a fan for life and will be waiting on his next one!!!

Ladies Listen Up...5 Stars!! Hit's the spot!

Darren Coleman has done it again, I have read all his novels and he keeps getting better each time. "Ladies Listen Up" does not dissapoint. Meet Diego Christian, he is very much a ladies man. He is smart, sexy and he knows it. 2nd grade school teacher by day and playboy D-O-G by night. Diego seems to keep getting with married women, and it brings him a lot of trouble. He can not seem to commit to one woman, Diego has DRAMA and a lot of it. Things start looking up for him when he gets an advice colum in a popular women's magazine,Diego can help women with their man problems, he knows all about it b/c he's caused much heartache and pain himself! Jacob Marsh is Diego's best friend, he is also a school teacher and also a talented vocalist who rivals John Legend and R Kelly. Jacob can't seem to get away from drama either. Jacob is a high school band teacher, and his female students are really starting to catch his eye, with their tight jeans and mature bodies, Jacob can't help but sneek a peek. Two students in particular take an interest in Jacob, Anna and Elise, ya'll know that ain't good! This book was HOTTER than July, and ya'll know that's hot. It is a real page turner. It has steamy sex scenes, drama for your mama, and grandmomma, baby mommas, weddings interrupted, violence, lies and secrets. Whoo! Turn up your AC and snuggle up with this book!
