review 1: This book did not portray full figured women in a positive way. It actually made them seem desperate for the wrong mans attention. I didn't hate Who Ya Wit, but Dez put up with way too much from Roc. Seriously, she knew he wasn't gonna change because he told her on many occasions, so I didn't understand why she kept going back to him and insisting he change. Dez did redeem herself in the end.I sorta hated Tell Me About It. If a man tells you that he will kill you if he catches you with another man, please believe him. When the same man beats your ass, please don't stay with him. This man leaves your house, after choking you out, goes and have sex with your ex best friend and you don't leave him because you don't want him to go back to your ex best friend. St... moreupid.
review 2: Full Figured 3 (Star Rating 3.50)I have never read any of the previous Full Figured books, prior to receiving this copy for review purposes.“Who Ya Wit 2” by Brenda Hampton.Once I started reading this story written by fan favorite Brenda Hampton, I realized it was a continued story from a previous book. “Who Ya Wit 2” Stars 42yr-old Desa Rae Jenkins, baby mama to the much younger Rocky Dawson aka “Roc”. Roc is recently home from prison and wants to continue a relationship with Desa. Desa is initially glad, wanting Roc to be the father she knows their daughter needs. But on second thought she wants Roc to be the man SHE needs him to be and hopes he wouldn’t bring drama from his other baby mama Vanessa, or his uncle Ronnie who she absolutely loathes.Roc on the other hand plans to be in Desa’s life and assures her that all is cool and not to worry. But unfortunately for Desa it seems once she’s connected to Roc, drama will always follow.Roc was so animated on how he lives his life and made his money from the streets. Desa got him a job and Roc says he wasn’t “jumping up and down over a $960 check” but took the job. I felt I missed out on that whole conversation…a man like Roc just doesn’t go to work in the mailroom without a fuss!I also couldn’t understand how Desa played hardball with Roc, but when the threats were made to her she didn’t say anything to anyone!Both Desa and Roc are stubborn regarding what they want in life, making it hard for them to move forward from the bad stuff in their relationship. So when Roc makes a judgment call that will affect the rest of his life, then tries to clean up his act, will Desa be convinced he’s changed for the better?This story was just an ok read for me.Considering I hadn’t read the previous story with these characters I was able to catch onto their history with the exceptional writing by Ms. Hampton.“Tell Me About It” by Nikki Michelle.Chyanne Johnson makes it a point to live a drama free life. Even though she holds five degrees, Chyanne has been working an entry-level position at a top advertising and marketing firm for a number of years. To her dislike, her job has a whole lot of sexual drama going on, so much so that all the top guns have been replaced. With that enters the new sexy CEO Aric McHale, who immediately promotes Chyanne to his assistant. What happens next is an attraction that has Chyanne acting out of character and bringing the thing she despises the most…DRAMA!I liked the scenes with April’s sons, and the fact that she had been taking her anger out on the boys. April was so wrong for what she did to Chyanne!But the more the story went on, the more I disliked Chyanne, she let too many people treat her like dirt! And I couldn’t understand why she had no other friends other than silly April who was around ten years older than her but didn’t act like it.This story did piqued my interest and I was looking forward to see how it would end, only to be let down because this story continues in another book!! BUMMER!Both stories are well written but neither of them left me satisfied. Recently it seems to be a growing trend where authors are contributing to anthologies with stories that continue in another book. This is not the norm for an anthology and has solidified the reason why I don’t like anthologies.Locksie February 12th 2012ARC Book Club Inc.Star Rating 3.50 less
