Isaac and Cydney are a couple in trouble. Isaac is a dirty cop, and with his partner Miguel, steals money from local dealers and spends it on ghetto girls. Cydney isn't blind to her husband's adultery, but she has her own skeletons to hide - and her game turns sour when she sleeps with Miguel. Miguel wants to bring Isaac down, and when Cydney decides to give her marriage with Isaac another go, he's not about to let that happen...
Cydney Conley is ready to throw her hands in the air and her husband out on his cheating backside. Their marriage has lost all of its meaning and her husband refuses to be faithful to their once solid relationship. Yes, she has gained some extra weight and sometimes works extra hours, but doesn't that go along with being married? In any event, two can play this game and Cydney is sure that this blow will ultimately make Isaac choose between his loyalty to their marriage or his loyalty to the streets. Isaac Conley loves the ladies. With his good looks and policeman swagger, the women just cannot resist him. After years of cheating, it almost comes like second nature. He has tried and tried over and over again with Cydney, but her sarcastic remarks, lack of maternal wants and 20-pound weight gain has driven him to the arms and bodies of his ghetto fantasies. Miguel cannot believe how easy it is for Isaac to be unfaithful to his wife. Every booty that struts by grabs his attention. How could this man have a beautiful wife at home and cheat on her every time he feels a twitch? It is bad enough finding a good woman and dogs like Isaac eventually turn a good woman into an evil, fed-up pit bull. Like the saying goes, though: "Every dog has its day." Maybe with a little help, Miguel can turn the saying into a reality. Brenda Hampton has done it again. Some say it's easy to keep a series going because you have a "personal" relationship already with your characters. Hampton has put the Jaylin series (Two's Enough, Three's a Crowd) to the side along with the Kiley series (How Can I Be Down?). Now what? You can't get more talented than her. Reviewed by: LaDonna

Brenda Hampton did a GREAT job with this novel "Two Wrongs Don't make a Right". I love Brenda's work but I was a little sick of the "Jaylin" character. I was happy to read about some new folks! Issac and Cydney Conley are a married couple who's trust in each other is wearing thin, because of infedilities. Issac is a police officer who has a child across town that he thinks his wife does not know about, along with many other "jump offs". Meanwhile Cydney has been creeping with Isaac's partner Miguel. After Cydney escapes the drama and heads to Maui for a relaxing getaway,upon her return the ISH hits the fan!!! Drama all over the place! Can Cydney and Issac save there marriage and realize wrong + wrong = DEAD WRONG!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith?

Brenda once again you're come through for your fans...as always:) As readers pick up this book it appears as though Issac has no love for his wife, he's tired of her since she gained weight and 'let her self go', Cyd on the other hand loves her husband but knows he's out creeping with so many women she lost count. As readers continue to journey through the book, you'll see how their marriage got to the point of breaking. When danger comes their way they learn they only have each other to count on and have to let the pass go and move on in order to survive. This book in many ways reminded me of Mr. and Mrs. Smith...due to the action, drama, and fighting....once you pick this book up, you'll want to finish it in one night.
Wrong is Wrong is Wrong!

Isaac and Cydney Conley are living in anything but marital bliss. Isaac, a police officer, loves his wife. He does. But that doesn't stop him from "loving" all the fine women of St. Louis. After all, who can resist a sexy man in a uniform with a big stick?!?! Officer Conley protects and SERVES! Cydney loves her husband. She does. Unhappy and tired of the numerous indiscretions, Cydney decides what's good for the goose is good for the gander and has a few rendezvous of her own. And then, it happens. Jump offs no longer want to play their positions. Secrets are exposed. Lies are uncovered. Feelings are hurt. Betrayal is in the air. And revenge is sweet. Two wrongs definitely don't make a right. Brenda Hampton is a remarkable talent. With nine books under her belt, her creativity, ability to create juicy, drama filled plots and unforgettable characters has not waned. She tells stories like no other, giving readers an up close and personal look into lives filled with sex, heartache and melodrama. Don't forget these other great titles... Two's Enough Three's A Crowd My Way or No Way Change Don't Always Come Naughty by Nature Too Naughty How Can I Be Down? No Justice No Peace
