Deanthony had always been a little jealous of Kashawn. Truth was, he was in love with Bree and he couldn’t understand why she’d ever choose Kashawn over him. He was better for her in so many ways, and he knew she’d be happier with him—just as long as she never found out what he did after he left Florida to follow his dreams.
Bree’s BFF, Tangela, had a plan.
That was nothing new; Tangela was always planning on Bree’s behalf because it was all about Bree, wasn’t it? She was always making Bree’s life better, making Bree’s marriage better, getting Bree what she thought she needed, helping Bree make Kashawn happy. All that, it was something Tangela hated, just as she hated Bree because Tangela really just wanted Kashawn for herself. And here’s the thing: much like Bree, Tangela always got what she wanted; plus, she really wasn’t Bree’s best friend.
Tangela wasn’t anybody’s friend…
Sounds complicated? Yes, it is, somewhat. Confusing conversation between characters doesn’t help any either—but then again, scintillating dialogue isn’t why you’d pick this book up.
Filled with explicit sex, profanity, violence, lies, and cheating, “You’re the One I Want” is an over-the-top story that you might not decide to read in public because it’s steamy. I say that so you’re clear that this novel is predictable and nasty, but readable. It’s not horrid, but it is hot. And if you need that kind of escape, grab “You’re the One I Want” and make it yours.
(“You’re the One I Want” by Shane Allison, c.2016, Strebor Books, $16/$22 Canada, 317 pages.)
