“Because we; out of our love for these women who hold our hearts in their hands, have and still would do all manner of things to keep them safe.” Hill gave a half shrug. “I’d say we finally know what it’s like to have the tables turned.”

“It would be impossible to think it's just about sex with a woman like you. You demand more without even trying. I'm set on giving you more. Sex is only an introduction- Amon Mikende”

Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you
find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.”

“Be silent and safe — silence never betrays you;
Be true to your word and your work and your friend;
Put least trust in him who is foremost to praise you,
Nor judge of a road till it draw to the end.”

Hi Everyone!!I'd simply like to wish everyone a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving. So many times we harp on the negative or bad or things we'd like to change and we totally overlook all the fantastic things we have to be grateful for. Let's all do better to remember that as we prepare for another day to give thanks- and let's be sure we start giving thanks everyday.
Okay, okay I'm off my soapbox.
Have A Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Love
Al
Hi, Ms. Washington...just had to give a shout and tell you how much I enjoyed your audio book "Another Love"...enjoyed it so much I DID NOT want it to end...I was thoroughly CAUGHT UP in the chemistry between Kedra and Kimar...and even though Kimar came off as arrogant and quite overbearing at times...you could still see that despite those "flaws" he ONLY wanted what he thought was best for Kedra...he was definitely a smooth operator...and Kedra showed she was NO damsel and distress and stood toe-toe with this MAGNIFICENT man...I hope you plan to do a sequel because I just have to know what will happen with the rest of this VIVID and memorable cast of characters...KUDOS :-)
