About book Soulmates Dissipate (2003)

I'm pretty sure the author picked the most contrived and stereotypical names you can come up with - Jada, Wellington, Jazzmyne, Candice et al. Independent Black Woman, Jada, looks for her Mr Right. His "friend" gets pregnant to get him to marry her...(typical, right?) and Jada ends up with her Mr Right. Uunnecessarily, overly descriptive throughout:"His black silk pajama pants - imported from Italy - hung below his waistline...His bare caramel-candied chest looked like heâd hired a professional sculptor. Silky-smooth hairs separated and defined his eight-pack."to drive the knife in a lil deeper: the erotica, terrible and lacking a sliver of sensuality read like soft porn:"He stood naked...Jada lusted for Wellington's six-foot-four, two hundred and twenty pounds of succulent, caramel flesh. She felt her heart beat against her thong...Wellington did three quick dick curls.... .Wellington never could resist her tasty chocolate mounds with nipples that tasted like Hershey's Kisses...His smooth masculine hands caressed her voluptuous thirty-six Ds...Wellington's winter-fresh tongue invaded Jada's mouth. She greeted it like it was opening day at Disney World...A video scene flashed across Jada's mind. Vanessa blew softly and feathered this handsome young guy. Absent her touch, his body trembled. [SN Who the hell is Vanessa, or did they forget Jada's name?]...Wellington was so clean he almost squeaked. She believed cleanliness was next to Godliness. If it wasn't clean, Jada refused to get close." *SCREAMING*This was a bestselling novel when I bought it. It has some memorable lines but overall I don't know who was in charge of the editing here but that check should have bounced.

Considering this was Mary B Morrison's very first published books I feel it was amazing even thought there were a few MINOR cracks in the armor. The story and plot was EXCELLENT! The one small beef I would add is that she tends to OVER describe certain things with in the text. There was one point where she describes a rub and it is so vivid that you literally feel you know this rug or as if it is a part of your home. This is a GREAT tool used by many writers it is actually one you learn as you are learning creative writing however I feel that she over shot b/c NOT all the pieces she over described were actually vital to the story or plot development at all. HOWEVER, all in all the story was so eye catching and entertaining and the love scene were so steamy that you tend to overlook the over describing and just chalk it up to her first stab at it... as she has progressed she has definitely fine tuned her skills wonderfully.

Do You like book Soulmates Dissipate (2003)?

3.75 Read this before but cldnt remember. Liked it better this time around. The fact that they introduced each other using their first, middle, last names, plus still cracks me up but I digress. This was a really good read without slow spots. Many people really don't understand the soulmate concept but I understand that there are forces out there working against you sometimes that aim to interrupt your flow. Just because you find your soulmate doesn't mean you'll have your happily ever after. Wellington pulled a weak move on Diamond by saying he never saw her other side. Her reaction to the news about the infidelity wasn't worth losing a relationship over. For such a suave player like himself to allow his mother to choose his houseguest is just ridiculous. Recommend

I really enjoyed this book. I kinda struggled in the beginning because it was all mushy stuff and I am not much of a mushy person but when the drama began that's when I perked up. LOL! I like drama. Don't get me wrong I love a good love story but I can do with out the mushy stuff because unfortunately that only happens in fairytales. Anyway it turned out to be a very good book and I am going to start the sequel, Never again once more cause I must see what happens next. This is one I would recommend.

*Spoilers ahead.I can appreciate a fun, cheesy melodrama now and then, but this is just horrible. This is the first of a best-selling series by a well-known African-American author. I wish I could understand what people find interesting about it. The writing is atrocious. Morrison's descriptions are totally redundant. Her "dark chocolate skin," his "caramel hand," her "dark chocolate thighs," his "caramel shoulders." So on and so forth. I think she tells about his "six foot frame" at least six times. The BEST part, however, is the supplement at the end which serves as a self-help discovery workshop to help you, the reader, find your own soulmate. And by "soulmate," the story seems to mean someone who will secretly cheat on you with his mother's goddaughter, and then get you to have a threesome with his mother's goddaughter who is really his secret half-sister who has been taking fertility drugs to get pregnant with his baby--no TRIPLETS!--and then almost die by running her car into the San Francisco Bay. After all of that, of course, you will still love him because you are soulmates. Get it? Yeah, this book is friggin' awful.
