HOLD ME IN CONTEMPT is not your average romance novel. It
has a more edgier and urban storyline that starts out slow
in the beginning and rapidly steamrolls from there to the
conclusion. So if you are looking for the night in shining
armor so to speak, then this isn't the book for you. Wendy
Williams' characters are complex to say the least. Built
with many layers, this novel slowly peels back the layers
and you don't truly see what makes them tick until the end.
This is the first time I have read anything from Wendy
Williams and will certainly be interested in see where she
takes Kimberly and King's story next.
Move over 50 Shades, there’s a new romance in town.

ever met. Their chemistry is off the charts. But after
passion-filled nights, the intensity of their emotions takes
both of them by surprise.
Love was not supposed to be
an option. Now it’s the only thing holding them together.

possibly be enough?
