Secrets of a Kept Woman

I really enjoyed reading Secrets of a Kept Woman 1. Once I started reading it I couldnt put it down. I cant wait to see what happens in part 2.

Book club choice. It will k3ep your attention.

First time reading anything by this author. It has a good storyline, I just needed for the characters to be a little more developed. It has an easy plot to follow, although it does need a little fine tuning. Also there are a few minor editing mistakes which interrupts the flow of the story by having to stop reading and quickly decipher what it is the author is conveying. Otherwise it is a good read. Thank you for sharing your story Ms. Dowdell.

Secrets Of A Kept Woman by Shani Greene Dowdell . A really good book on thug life and how friendship betrayed you.

This book was really long and drawn out. Is not worth the time or money I invested. Not sure where the other reviews are coming from but I was very disappointed with this book. Big waste of time.

What a read! In the end I didnt know if I should scream, cry, shout for joy or get mad. Wow! It was a heavy read. We meet three close friends: Shayla the smart one. Rhonda, the fiery of the bunch and Gladys, the Spanish salsa. They take different roads in life but their sisterhood remains. They have each others backs. Aint that the truth! Or is it? What happens when you throw a man in the mix? Can the invisible line drawn in the sand of sisterhood be crossed to a place of no return? Deep. Titus, a street thug who plays dirty while keeping his hands clean marries the love of his life; Shayla. Oh the bliss. Oh the merriment. Life for the two is perfect. They have all they wanted and more. However, as the years go by Shalay is feeling the distance between her and her husband grow wider. Shed confide in Gladis but she knows that she has enough to worry about what with her marriage barely holding on. She turns to Rhonda. The one with the ears always willing to listening. The one who constantly defends Titus like a brother. Shayla tells her everything. Every fight or disagreement to every intimate detail of their nights of romance. Rhonda never refuses to hear. She is always quick to give advice. What are sisters for? Yet she has her own evil motive. She wants Titus as well as all of what Shayla has. Forget the time Shayla took her in when her own mother kicked her out of the house. Sisterhood doesnt matter in the game of love and war. She is set on ending the marriage with each lingering kiss she plants on Titus skin and with each moment they spend in the adulterous bed filled with sweet roses and their thorns. The secrets of a kept woman is spiced with adultery, betrayal, abuse, and revenge. But in the end a beautiful thing springs forth; strength. The strength to move on and the strength to continue on. When I saw Gladis and Shayla displaying this strength I felt proud having cursed them throughout the read. What can I say, those two were my favourite characters. If anyone deserved some happiness after the smokes cleared it was those two. Dramatastic is how Ill describe Secrets Of A Kept Woman. Trust me it will not leave you bored for a minute. Happy reading! -Chantol Aspinall

This was a nice change of pace for me. I enjoyed reading about the various adult situations without the explicit content. Way to go! This was my second time reading this author’s work and I will be reading more!!!

I enjoyed this book, it had me wondering whats going to happen on every page. The chacters was touching and I thought I knew them, the title is not what I thought the story was about. Once you read you is going to want to know more about Shayla and the Hispanic guy, Rhonda her evil self and Titus a man that dont know who is want. And Gladys a woman in her own world with sexy Maverick. A must read you will not forget it.

Oh my goodness this book was too damn good. Secrets of a kept woman are something else. You just dont know whom to trust. The people that youre close to are the ones that will stab you in the back. Shayla should have put an old fashioned ass whooping on Rhonda because she thought that she was slick.
