Mahogany Book Club Review- Diva Diaries

5 stars
Diva Diaries is a remarkable story about three strong divas helping each other over the humps of love, life, career and family.

Dakota is a smart sexy publicist that lives life in the fast lane. Dakota finds it necessary to keep a few men on the roster. When one acts out call the next one. Love never crossed her mind until she finds herself sitting around waiting on Tony, her on again and off again man with his own roster of women he tries to hide. When a tragic loss hits Kota hard she re-evaluates her lifestyle, her relationships finding what is really important.

Chrasey is a little over weight and stuck in a dead end marriage to Keith who she loves. Married with children Chrasey suddenly finds life exciting again when she meets a younger handsome Trevor that reminds her she is a diva and a worthy woman. Riddled with guilt Chrasey finds out that her husband Keith has more problems than she thought and those problems will change her family and marriage forever. Jordan, a hard working entertainment lawyer struggles to balance a high demand career and a husband who doesn’t like the spotlight that comes with his wife. When her husband Omar decides to teach Jordan a lesson about her responsibilities as wife and mother his approach backfires and Jordan turns to her long time friend and colleague Jayon. Life for Jordan and Omar will never be the same.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this story. Once you start reading, you can’t put the book down.

A story so real- you know these divas. One might be you. I found I was a little bit of all three of them.

This sexy, heart felt novel was all that! A top pick for 2006.
A Sex in the City meets Girlfriends with a twist. Check it out July.

Black Expressions.com- Diva Diaries Review

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Best friends since college, Chrasey, Dakota and Jordan are all in their early 30s, with real careers, real families—and real issues. Overweight and pretty, Chrasey is married and has two young sons. Her husband Keith barely knows she exists—but sexy young Trevor does…and he’s more than willing to pick up the slack. Jordan is a high-powered entertainment lawyer with not enough hours in the day. Her husband Omar is tired of her late nights at the office and wants her to choose between career and home—but at what cost? Dakota is the only single woman of the three, but she’d love nothing more than to be a Mrs. to the former NFL star she’s seeing-but he’s “engaged” to his baby’s mama. Will she finally wise up-or settle for being his “jump off?”

Absolutely Sizzling!
‘Diva Diaries is a dynamic tale of three women that are true to life sisterfriends. This intuitive novel is witty, told with that charismatic flair that women will appreciate…Janine A. Morris orchestrates a brutally honest book that revolves around Jordan, Chrasey and Dakota. All of which is enthralled in their own personal drama. From husbands who lack in the area of support, or emotionally and physically unavailable to their spouses, to the frequently disappearing boyfriend that is engaged to another woman…All three women are successful in their own right, they all live in New York and have been best friends since college. The only thing that appears to be missing is healthy loving relationships with the men in their lives. Diva Diaries is fashioned with relationship issues that will resonate with readers. Touching on infidelity, jealousy and self-esteem issues…Each woman will come to terms with what they can and cannot live with in their pursuit of happiness. Picking up the pieces of their lives and moving forward. Readers will be able to identify with these chic divas, from personal experiences or from people in their lives who have struggled through similar situations. This is a great look at sisterfriends who are truly there for each other lending moral support and a listening ear because of the love they have for each other as sisters…as friends…Diva Diaries is absolutely sizzling delivering something fresh to the world of fiction.”
