True love never lives happily ever after - true love has no ending, and this quote sums up the way Kendra felt about Miles. In Married Man, the reader is introduced to Kendra Davis a very well put together business professional and Miles Jordan an intelligent smooth talking married man in love with his ex. Told from the male point of view, the reader will be taken on a trip through one woman's will to do anything for love and one man's struggle with choosing the right woman. Although a revisited plot, this story could have been a lot spicier, given the topic. With far too many mistakes, voice changes, and missing information, this book is confusing to say the least. It seems as though the author rushed this book, which may have been a worthwhile read if more time was put into it. Although the premise is there, I wish the author would have taken more time developing and perfecting her story.

1. What did you like best about this book?
I liked that the author chose to tell her story from a male's point of view.

2. What did you dislike about this book?
I didn't like that this book was not edited. The story was rushed and proved to be a frustrating read.

3. How can the author improve this book?
The story is there, but I would advise the author to consider an strong developmental edit before reprinting.

This book was good! The reviewer has to be joking as this was a pageturner. It was told in such an extraordinary and unique way. Kudos to this author, I read her novel, A WOMAN SCORN'D and I must say, Goins is an excellent writer.

I totally disagree! I absolutely loved this novel. There was nothing confusing about the way this story was told. What mistakes????? Plenty of authors have told stories with various voice changes. Check out Toni Morrison, Alice Walker....for starters.
