Should Be a Movie...It's That Good!!!!!

In a Request for Closure, Wanda Y. Thomas tells the story of three friends, Paige Michaels, Jazmin Reed, and Arianna Jackson. Jazmin, a former model from New York who landed in Colorado Springs after a freak accident ended her budding career. Here she meets Vincent "Brick" Marks, a professional basketball player who has been in love with Jazmin since the age of seventeen. He proposes to her upon meeting again but Jazmin must decide if she can give up her dream to be the wife of a NBA star when she receives an offer to resume her modeling career. In her quest to find another husband, Paige sleeps around hoping that a man will put a ring on her finger. In her wanderings, she meets two men: Jermaine Lewis, an army soldier and Raymond Steward, an architect. One is the perfect father figure for her daughter, Jessie; the other the perfect romantic partner for her. Rather than chose one over the other, Paige keeps them both. Arianna Jackson lives her life in the moment and though many men want her, she pays them no attention until she meets Alvin "Jace" Barnes. Jace sets out to make Arianna fall in love with him and once she does, they appear to be the perfect couple until Jace's secrets comes to light. I found A Request for Closure to be a great read, the characters interesting and realistic, the sex scenes hot, and the overall storyline one that will hold your attention until the very end. Laced with drama and some interesting twists, A Request for Closure is not just another girlfriend novel. I have been a fan of Wanda Y. Thomas since her first romance novel, Truly Inseparable, was published and consider her first mainstream effort a worthy addition to my reading collection.

Sensational

This book is about three best friends from Colorado Springs, Paige, Jazmin and Ariana and their relationship drama. Paige is looking for love and envy's her two best friends because they get involved with two guys who absolutely adores them and worships the ground they walk on. Jazmin, moves to NYC and becomes a supermodel but must move back home because of an injury on the runway. When Paige moves back home she meets a gentleman name Brick who is a professional basketball player. Ariana is a sweet caring person who goes out one night and meets Jace. Jace is loving, attentive and he spoils Ariana in everyway but he has a secret that he is keeping from her. One of the things that I like most about this book is how Wanda Thomas brings these characters to life. At times it was almost like I was watching a movie instead of reading a book. The story line is so believable and it's refreshing to read about true love. This is a must read.

If You Love It, Let It Go

In A Request for Closure by Wanda Y. Thomas, we meet friends Paige, Jazmin, and Ariana. Each of these women have deep-seated issues with men and love. Paige sleeps around, searching for someone to love and care for her and her daughter, Jessie. She ends up with two men who each give her something she needs, so she refuses to choose between the two. Jazmin is a former supermodel who meets Brick, a professional basketball player. Deeply in love, he proposes to her shortly after they meet. As they move forward, wedding plans are placed on the back burner when Jazmin is given another chance at her dream of modeling. She has to decide if she wants to live for Brick or for herself. Ariana is the more innocent of the three. She does not give much thought to all of the attention she gets from men until she meets Jace Barnes. Jace has a pull on her she cannot comprehend. He is confident in the fact that she is his and there is no other way. That is until Jace's skeletons come out of the closet. A Request for Closure was a quick and pleasing read. I was curious to see how the lives of these three women developed and I was not disappointed. Thomas has taken the common tale of women with issues and the men who love them, and laced it with interesting characters, drama, steamy sex scenes, and a little unpredictability. There were a few occurrences where scenes, which should have been separated, were mixed together. I had to sometimes re-read lines to figure out who was speaking. The story's focus was mostly on past events that led up to the present. I think a little more enlightenment on the present would have fleshed the story out more and brought it full circle. Overall, A Request for Closure is an enjoyable read and I could not wait to see how it turned out. Reviewed by Donielle Ruff APOOO BookClub
