IN LOVE WITH LOSERS tells the story of Zora and her best friends, Donisha and Chelle. Each of these three ladies has had her share of "loser" men, and all want to find love with the right guy.

When Zora realizes her current boyfriend yet again is not "the one", she has to decide whether to take a chance on the guy she meets next.

When "preacher's kid" and stripper, Donisha, connects with a minister, she thinks she might have finally found the one, until a secret from his past threatens to tear them apart.

When law student Chelle finally decides to rid her life of her thug boyfriend and his baby mama drama, she finds herself thrust into the throes of motherhood.

Although it's categorized as contemporary fiction, IN LOVE WITH LOSERS has one foot in the world of Christian fiction too, as it is frequently crafted for African-American audiences. As the women struggle with finding love, they also clearly wrestle with their developing faith. Themes of forgiveness and redemption play strong roles in this novel that is equal parts "street lit" and inspirational fiction. LaToya S. Watkins has written an interesting, action-oriented story infused with distinct, realistic characters, an admirable novel from this debut author.
