“As young as age ten, Alexis Gibbs is caught up in the goings on of her parents' marriage. Her father is a known womanizer who can't help but cheat. He obviously loves his family, yet, he continues with his uncontrolled lust forcing his wife to act out viciously. Will this behavior encumber little Alexis in her future?

Constant turmoil, empty promises, looking over your shoulders and late night creeps are all roles a mistress must endure while playing her role as number two. Is Alexis fed up enough with her understudy role or is she willing to continue on in hopes of becoming number one?
While reading MISTRESS I have to admit that I got confused very early into it. While I did find it to be a rapid read, I also found errors and characters' names placed in the wrong places and some very unlikely drama, in my opinion. While I can't say that any of that detoured my completing the book, I am questioning if URBAN BOOKS will continue to get my money.

“Sex, Lies & Infidelity

Alexis Gibbs spent her youth watching her parents constantly fighting over her father's multiple infidelities. Alexis grows up only to find herself in a similar situation. She's found the perfect man. Problem is...he's someone else's man. Has she learned anything from the pain of her childhood? Will she settle for being a mistress?
Chocked full of drama, MISTRESS is a very quick read. At times, however, the timeline was confusing and the dialogue unrealistic. Even though, it has its moments and kept my attention. Not quite a four-star read but above three stars, MISTRESS is entertaining and worth the read. This was my first for this author so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But overall I was pleased and would like to read more of her work. ”
“This Chick Can Attract Some Losers!

Growing up over the years, Alexis witnessed her father's numerous affairs. To most she had it all, both her parents in the home and she got anything she wanted, but she couldn't keep her father from creeping and her parents from fighting constantly. Grown up and in college, Alexis meets Jarrad, a smooth, sexy TV executive. They spark a relationship only to find out that Jarrad is married with kids. Unable to break away from the hold he has on her, she has to make a strong decision...stay playing second best or move on.
In my opinion, MISTRESS moved around a lot in time and that was confusing. Sometimes I couldn't figure out how old she was. The majority of the book was spent on Alexis' childhood. The book was supposed to be about her and Jarrad but focused more on her parents. I wish the author had discussed it and moved on concentrating more on Alexis as an adult and her relationship as a mistress. I thought some parts weren't even important to the story. I feel like all in all it was just ok and had enough drama to keep my attention.
