Customer Reviews

One of the best books that I have read

I picked up this book and I wasn't to sure if it would be very good. I was pleasantly surprised.Lyric Devaney loved only herself. She was the type of person that the entire world had to center around her and her great needs. She went to any length to get what she wanted no matter what the cost.If I was to tell you anymore I would tell you the entire plot.Do not hesitate in buying this book you will not be disappointed.

Learning Life Lessons The Hard Way

Crystal Lacy Winslow's Life, Love, & Loneliness is superb... a beautifully written and well thought out book. Her characters are addicting to the reader, one line and you will want to read more. Lyric Devaney is a top notch diva, doing whatever is necessary to make it to the top of her game in the entertainment industry. Realizing, once she made it there that she stepped on the toes of those who really loved, care for and knew her best. Joshua Tune, attorney at law, was very focused in his business life yet, very careless in his personal one until he lost the one person who loved him unconditionally. However, he would never be able to retrace his faults and move on. He finds himself so engrossed in capturing a murderer until he has lost all self respect and drugs took over. Richard Cardenale, mayor of the City of New York plays his cards tight. In one sense, he is racist and very contradicting in the other. His appetite for black woman was so overwhelming until he jeopardized his career. Fortunately, for his wife and his connections he would maintain his status and go on to being Senator. With nothing standing in his way, he cannot wait to run for presidency. Madison Michaels is a well-educated sistah that is on her way to becoming an attorney but gets side tracked by what she perceived as love. Love; a powerful emotion that would make this girl lose all sense of reality and life. She placed her friends, credit, and job on the line for a con artist that sensed her vulnerability and set out to use and kill her when there was no more using left. Fortunately, for her sake, she was just a victim of ignorance and he would lose his life before she could lose hers. I have read many books and there are many more I will read. This one has just been placed at the top of my favorites list. The plot was so well thought out that I would just love to see it on the big screen. In my opinion this is a book for every one of all races and sex, it is an educational lesson for woman and men alike. Ms. Winslow did a wonderful job portraying the characters and setting the stage. I can only say go get a copy. It is a must read!Stacy Campbell APOOO BookClub

A Definite Page Turner

Life, Love and Loneliness was a definite page turner. I received the book as a bithday gift from my friend's mom. She saw Crystal at a book signing. I am mostly into reading inspirational books. However, I am glad I gave this book a chance and that I received it as a gift! I started reading it on a Friday evening and was done by Sunday morning! I had a love/hate thang for Lyric. She was so confident, yet emotionally unstable at the same time. It was interesting moving from one chapter to the next awaiting the drama filled lives of these friends. Crystal always amazed me with the new crazy, and sometimes dangerous decisions that Lyric, Joshua, or Madison made in their lives! I could not put the book down and I have passed the word. I've recommended this book to all my friends/associates. This is one not to miss. It also exemplifies that you cannot judge a book by it's cover (meaning the characters). Excellent start Crystal. I look forward to reading more of your work!

Such a page turner

I recently went to a book signing and Crystal Winslow was one the guest authors present. I was a little hesitant about buying her book because of the title Life Love and Loneliness, however a friend of mine told me to purchase it. I took the book home and started reading it that evening. I could not put this book down! I finished reading this book in 3 days. It is such a page turner. There are so many different twists and turns in this book that it leaves the readers such as my self wanting more. I definitely can't wait for the sequel! I congratulate her on her first book victory. If you have not purchased this book yet, I recommend that you do so!
