Review: If I Can't Have You - Mary B. Morrison

 

Granville Washington can't accept Loretta Lovelace's demand that he leave her alone. Sure, Granville knows they're as different as can be. He's a construction worker, ball-and-chained to the Houston grid, while brilliant, beautiful Loretta is a pharmacist with a rich ex who takes care of her. But Granville also knows she can't resist the way he kisses every inch of her just right. After only three weeks, Granville will do anything to make her his. Forever.  No matter how direct Loretta is, Granville doesn't get it. He was fine when it came to burning up the sheets, but that's where their connection ends--or so she thinks. When the stalking begins, Loretta's gorgeous girlfriend, Madison, claims she can tame any man. Loretta, unable to resist the opportunity, dares Madison to prove she can tame Granville. But sexing Granville may cost Madison more than her engagement to the most eligible bachelor in Houston. . .

 

 

REVIEW

 

This story is about being careful of what you bet.  There are three main characters in the story and they are best friends, Madison, Loretta, and Tisha.  Loretta has been dating a crazy, obsessive individual named Granville.  Madison has claimed that she can tame any man and Loretta bets her that she couldn’t tame Granville.  Granville is smarter than they think and he puts Madison in a very compromising position.  Madison gets married and on her wedding night, Granville shoots her husband.  This story is about rape, love, kidnapping, lying, and attempted murder.  

Author Mary B. Morrison has another winner she used a method of writing that I enjoy.   She divides the book into chapters that focus on one character at a time and tells what is going on with that character.  She then will focus on another character and follow suit.  The book was a fast read and it was very interesting.   I am interested in reading more books from this author.
