“What can I say about Slick by Brenda Hampton but GOOD LAWD!!!!!
Carmen B wrote this review Thursday, March 3, 2011. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No
Jonathan is a big time lawyer in St. Louis who is fine as all get out and can have any woman that he chooses but he is married to Dana, a beautiful woman who he loves with all of his heart. Sylvia is Dana's best friend and she works for Jonathan as his secretary and Dana's confidant. When Dana starts having an affair, Sylvia keeps her secret but tells her she needs to stop before she gets caught, but being who she is, Dana will do anything that she wants and chooses not to listen to Sylvia. When Jonathan starts to feel uneasy about what he thinks is going on with Dana and he confides in Sylvia, she is a good friend to both of them and listens and tries to reassure him that nothing is going on. But how can she keep Dana's secret when Sylvia secretly has feelings for Jonathan and would love to tell him all about Dana.
I guess you could say that this book is the beginning of the Naughty series starring Jaylin Jerome Rogers because Jaylin and Jonathan are good friends and he calls on him when he needs some help.
I would highly recommend you read this book, it is typical Brenda Hampton which means that is it hot and spicy! Fast paced and a great read!

What we do
When we do
And where we do
Should be between me and you....
BEST FRIENDS share everything! HOWEVER, is there an unwritten law as to what is and isn't on that sharing list?
Jonathan Tyrese Taylor is smart, rich and boy he knows how to wear some clothes! Yet, he feels like he's going down, as he pictures his wife, Dana with someone else. Is it all in his head? He can't shake how she's no longer that comforting and loyal wife. Over and over again he's reminded of her smelling like cologne. She also can't seem to be reached by phone and those groceries she's claiming to buy never seem to make it home!
There has to be an answer. Now the question becomes who does the loyalty lie with?
Sylvia, Jonathan's secretary, just so happens to be Dana's BEST FRIEND. Sylvia's a hoody girl who is not afraid to get loutish with whomever, wherever! The friction is rising as Dana appears to be forsaking her good man! Doesn't she know about all of the women who would love to have him? What can Sylvia do? They're BEST FRIENDS! True Jonathan is more that the boss man, actually she value's their friendship. A friendship that is at times more substantial than hers and Dana's.
Sounds to me like there is a conflict of interest!
I can't get off my high horse, and I can't let you go...you are the one who makes me feel so real, OH what am I suppose to do when I'm hook'd so on to you...And I realize you're my BEST FRIEND'S GUY!
Dana's mind is so twisted up that she can't see straight. Maybe it's all the "mail runs!" Idiotic woman, she's too involved in her own external affairs, that she can't see that her friendship with Sylvia is diminishing and rapidly. Her marriage is also at a crossroads, and that secret isn't so safe! She's grossly underestimated her obligations with a costly recourse.
SUGAR, all it takes is just one taste...
Now with all this drama slowly brewing between Jonathan, Dana, and Sylvia those consecrated lines of marriage, and friendships seem to be severely damaged. Can they be salvaged?
While evading conspiracies, lies, and suspicion things appear to become repetitious. Makes you wonder... can a replacement ever be as good?
Tee has been saying that Brenda keeps it explosive! Can you believe that I doubted her talent? Brenda is SLICK with the way she mixes HOODY plots, schemes, and drama into the corporate and elite worlds.”

You are an attractive thirty something year old female. You have your own home and a good job. But like most single females, you want the love of a good man. A man you can call your own. A man like your boss Jonathan Taylor. Jonathan is a successful attorney. He's smart. He's caring. He's funny. And did I mention fine with a capital F? He's everything you want in a man. But oops! Wait a minute. He's married. Married to your best friend Dana. Now you and Dana go way back. I'm talking elementary school way back. But Dana does not appreciate what she has in Jonathan. She's got a good man who loves her dearly and would do anything for her. Kind of like what you want. Instead of reciprocating, she's cheating on him with a loser ten years her junior. You repeatedly try to convince your girl to stop cheating. She just tells you to mind your own business and continue to cover for her. You're getting more and more irritated with your best friend. You think Jonathan deserves better. And he is becoming suspicious. So what do you do when he comes to you for answers? What do you do when your best friend's man comes to you for comfort? What do you do? You . . .
As with her other novels, Brenda has done it again! It's not often that you come across an author that is consistently putting it down the way she does. And she just keeps getting better. I was immediately drawn into this web of deceit and couldn't put it down. One day. I finished the book in one day. While I in no way condone hooking up with your friend's man (a definite no no and rule #1 amongst friends) or cheating on your spouse ~ the story was told in a way that you understood (not agreed) with the reasons for their actions. Great book!. If you haven't read any of Brenda's books - you better ask somebody!!
