"Rapid paced story delves into the concerns of working mothers with a celebrity spin"

Fresh Fiction Review

Un-Nappily in Love

Romance Contemporary | Multicultural African-American

Venus Parson's flower shop is blooming, but her relationship with husband Jake, former rap artist turned actor, is in need of water. After starring in his first movie with his former lover, Sirena Lassiter, Jake goes on a promotional tour that sets Venus's nerves on end. She trusts Jake, but something is off-kilter in their relationship. Is it the time apart or is Sirena up to no good? Adding to her stress are her mother's recurring fight with cancer and her friend Miriam's suspicions about her own husband, not to mention her long-time nemesis Trevelle Doval, the fallen from grace former television evangelist.

In UN-NAPPILY IN LOVE, Trisha R. Thomas shines a light on the concerns of a host of working mothers who are managing the lion's share of the day-to-day activities of their families—managing school drop-offs and pick-ups, getting roped into volunteering for their children's extracurricular activities, supporting a friend in crisis, dealing with family illnesses—while trying to maintain a business persona away from home. Venus does so with a wry touch of humor and a scathing yet lighthearted introspective which makes the story fun.

Allseries

Author Trisha Thomas has a particular knack for keeping the story rapid paced yet meaningful, with unexpected plot points that in retrospect are absolutely critical to adding story depth. UN-NAPPILY IN LOVE is the sixth book in this series. Each one adds a layer of delight to this literary cake.

SUMMARY

In Un-Nappily in Love, a Nappily novel from award-winning author Trisha R. Thomas, Venus' husband begins on a bright new movie career, forcing her to pull out all the stops to save both him and their marriage from his all too-sexy co-star.

Venus is ecstatic about her husband's rising movie star career thanks to a role in a searing romantic drama with co-star Sirena Lassiter. Jake and Sirena's relationship, Venus quickly learns, goes back further than Jake wants to admit. Venus isn't happy when the new "it" team's hectic promotion schedule takes them to exotic locations while Venus must stay behind with a business to run and a daughter to raise.

However, it's not long before Venus senses danger. When she receives advice from her one time arch enemy, Trevelle Doval the queen of late night evangelical TV, Venus, in her trademark style, decides to save her marriage by any means necessary.

But when the paparazzi get involved, all hell breaks loose. Will Venus be able to keep her man or has she lost Jake forever?

Trisha R. Thomas' Nappily Ever After is now a Netflix Original movie.
