Another Sad Love Song

Another Sad Love Song
LaJill Hunt
**** (4/5)


Since so many of her books are “street lit” I hesitantly picked this book up and was not expecting much, but this was one good book.

JaKoby is a young black man who seemingly has it all, A good job, a MBA, a new benz and great friends, all thats missing is the right woman to spend it with. Burned by love before, he wasn’t expecting much when loves( literally) smashed into his life in the form of Chryslyn Matthews’s uninsured Camry. As JaKoby maneuvers matters of the heart we learn that everything isn’t always what it seems. Will Chrys and JaKoby’s relationship be able to handle the storms of life in the form of crazy exes and live happily ever after?


I really enjoyed this book and finished it in one day. This brings me to the only thing I didn’t like about this book- it was too short( 219 pages- mass market paperback). Ms. Hunt kept everything short and sweet, but I would have liked to get to know JaKoby and Chrys a little more. Each chapter is titled with the name of R & B song- from Luther to Toni, which keeps you in the "love spirit", hoping that Chrys & JaKoby can make it. I enjoyed the drama and suspense that was in the book and the ending is one that can’t be beat- will this be just another sad love song?

Ms. Hunt is a very talented writer and after reading this one, I am curious about some of her other books and will give them a try.
