"Naughty or Nice" is off the chain. I read it in one day! Just to let you know though, "The Other Woman" has to be one of the best books on relationships dealing with adultery that I have ever read. Or maybe even relationships period!”

Frankie is the eldest sister and has all of the material things that she could possibly want; it's her love life that's lacking. Having no success meeting men in any of the conventional ways, she resorts to seeking love over the Internet. What follows is a series of disappointing dates, leaving Frankie to wonder if she will ever find her soul mate.
Livvy, the middle sister, is dealing with the infidelity of her husband--and the possible lifelong ramifications from the affair. Angry, she turns to the Internet looking for answers, and finds a man whose wife has also betrayed him. The result is a hot, torrid affair with someone who appears to be wonderful. But things are never as they seem.
Tommie is the youngest sister, who continues to recover from an abusive relationship--and she has the physical scars to prove it. Celibate for two years, she cannot deny the attraction she feels for her neighbor, Blue--who is also 16 years her senior, with a young child and plenty of baby momma drama. Not to mention the fact that he is one of sister’s Frankie's tenants.
The holiday season just seemed to heighten the emotional roller coaster of each sister as they reflect on their lives, the loss of their parents and their current set of challenges that faces them individually as well as collectively. We are taken into the hearts of these young women as they struggle to make sense of their lives, their shattered loves and the loss of their loved ones.
The sisters draw strength from past memories of their beloved mother and father and even though they might not want to admit it, they learn how much they need each other, and how deep the bond of sisterhood goes.
I enjoyed this book. I've read other books by this author and they're all worth reading. The characters were lively and real, the story moves along and keeps one interested, the holiday theme is present but not overwhelming and it has a good message of love and family.

Frankie, Livvy and Tommie. Frankie is a self made woman who likes the finer things in life including her men. But she's had trouble finding the right match and she has turned to internet dating. It's quite hilarious that she continually gets matched up with fugly men trying to impress her in all the wrong ways. Livvy is the middle sister. She's married and happy until the day she's served with papers from her husband's mistress during a dinner party including all their friends and family about her child's paternity. Livvy is baffled, hurt and angry. She decides to seek comfort from a friend she met on the internet and begins a whirlwind affair of her own. Tommie is the baby girl who's hopelessly in love with her neighbor Blue, single dad who sees her as just a friend and welcomes the help and attention she showers over his preschool daughter. Three very different personalities and three very different situations. All searching for the end result of LOVE. ”

The book focuses on three sisters, and each chapter is filled with their first person account of their lives, and their encounters with the Internet, and life in general.
If you want action, and passion and intrigue, then you will love the Livvy chapters!!!, She is the dominate character, so there are many chapters filled with her day -to -day drama. One particular love scene is nearly 4 pages LONG... I was very impressed with Eric Jerome Dickey's passionate details of her Internet love affair.
If you want Humor, then you will be laughing until you cry with the Frankie chapters!!! Her internet encounters are so hilariously funny! There is one chapter where she meets a man she thinks is Mr. Right Now, until his former lover interrupts their date. In another chapter she meets a man that has sent her a false photo. Believe me you will certainly laugh your head off!!!
The Tommie chapters are more serine, and not nearly as exciting, but important to the story. I agree with one of the "reviewers" when he/she said that there should be a sequel to this book. I want to know how the relationship between Tommie and Blue works out. I want to know how things end for Livvy. And, I want to know what the heck's going on with Frankie!
If you want to read a Christmas tale, without all the Christmas this is the one for you, but if you think this book has a lot of hot steamy sex that everyone else is talking about, well it leaves a lot to be desired. This book is just a good fast read. Happy reading.
