More on the Price of a Good Man

More on our novel…
Is there a high price to finding a good man? That is a very good question. Miss Queenisha Renae Sutton, a 28 year old, tall, plus-sized bomb shell is going to find out just what that price is in the pages of our latest book, The High Price of a Good Man.
Queenisha, or Queenie as she is called by her family and friends, is a young woman with an ego. She feels that she is the most beautiful, sexy woman on the planet. She really loves herself. This amazon diva lives on the words of wisdom passed down to her from her mother. Those words taught her to love herself above and beyond all else and she takes those words to heart in her everyday life as an executive buyer for Macy’s Department Store.
After getting her college degree she achieved several things in her life. She has a cozy condo in a good neighborhood, a good paying job, and the car of her dreams. Miss Queenie felt she was too good for certain circumstances and certain types of men. She refused to pay for a man, she was too good for that scene, and presently she had no man. However, that did not make her a lonely young woman. She had the camaraderie of her best friend since grade school, Poetta Chenell James. Those two had been thick as thieves for many years and always had each others back in any situation.
The only stress in Miss Queenie’s life was the most intense on Monday mornings. She drove to work anticipating what would wait for her beyond the parking lot entrance. The first thing that comes to her mind as she travels is HATE. As she parks her car she draws in a deep breath. As she moves towards her office her heart races and she gets an odd stiffness in her back. When she reaches her office door without incident she feels safe, falsely. She closes the door, places her back against the door in relief just to begin to smell the roses in the vase on her desk. She focuses on the desk at the far corner of the room and notice the single candle glowing there, the glass a orange juice (probably fresh squeezed), the sliced fruit and muffins all there for her to devour. But where did all this come from? Mr. Raymundo Carlos Morales Castillo is the one to thank for the breakfast spread and the only source of Miss Queenie’s stress. Raymo, as she calls him, is truly in love with her. He proclaims his love by these elaborate meals several times a week and she can’t stand it. She loves the food but believes Raymo is not her type. He is loosing his hair and is a very short man, compared to Miss Queenie. She believes a short man would be, let’s say, not so very well endowed where it counts and she refuses to take a chance with that assumption. She likes large men, as she is what is called a large woman. Besides that, Raymo reminds Queenie of an ex of hers, Monroe. Monroe did not leave on pleasant terms and she fears Raymo is very similar to him.
She is not one to fret over a man though. Queenie believes the right man for her will come along and she will live on happily ever after. In the meantime, she can count on her mom to be there for her along with her best friend, Poe. She and Poe do almost everything together and that was fine with Queenie.
One day while visiting with Poe, Queenie was asked to participate in the AIDS Date-a-thon Fund-raiser where Mr. Billy Dee Williams would be the host. Billy Dee is her favorite star so queenie does not hesitate to say yes to helping out at the charity event.
Both the charity event and the next few weeks surprise the diva in more ways than one. Stay tuned for more on this engaging novel from SugaMomma.

I have read "The high price of a good man" and I enjoyed it. It started off a little slow but the twister towards the middle really caught my interest. I couldn't put the book down until I was passed the part when Queen and Poe went on a road trip. That was some wild stuff!
I would recommend the book to anyone who likes a little excitement in their reading.
