It’s been over a month, but I got another book review posted on The Urban Book Source. The book is none other than Mistress Me by the “Urban Barbie Doll” herself, Venesha.
I hope you enjoy this review as much as I enjoyed writing it! Please leave your questions, comments and/or concerns on the book review’s page.

I just read Shelia Goss’ post on gold digger vs. independent vs. old school vs. clingy women. Yes a mouthful…
Shelia starts her post off like this, “Does it make you a gold digger because you like nice things and want to be spoiled by your significant other?”
Answer: No, you would be a gold digger is your sole interest in being with a man is for what he could spoil you with. If you only like him for his money, his material things and the material thing you can get from him, you’re a gold digger. If you don’t really love him and will be gone once “the well runs dry”, say it with me… You’re a gold digger.
Another question Shelia poses is “As much as men confess to want an independent woman, some can’t deal with our independence. Why?”
Answer: It’s simple. Most men have been mentally groomed to be a provider to their girlfriend, wife and family. (Separately. I’m not talking about the cheating guy…) When a woman is so independent that her man really doesn’t serve a purpose, what’s the point? If you have every single thing together, where do I fit in? The ocassional sexual interlude?
Sure there are some men who want their women to be clingy. I wonder about them, too. But if you are so independent that you don’t seem to need me for anything, then where do we go from there. We have to have a symbiotic relationship where neither on of us are “clingy”. Instead, we have get past wanting each other. We have to need each other to reach a higher common goal.
Let me end by saying this:
Shelia Goss is a very, very classy woman.
I had the pleasure of reading Ms. McFadden’s first installment of this enchanting,yet twisted saga. I did a review of the book in January ’08 and posted on my book reviewer page on C&B Books Distribution, Amazon.com and later on this website.
I loved the book because it was a very intriguing. If you’ve never had the experience of reading FeMALE TRAITS, you need to get that done before diving into the sequel. I’m not saying that the sequel won’t be able to stand on it’s own. I’m saying that you have to know where Grace came from to know where Grace is going.
Author Lurea C. McFadden was kind enough to give me the inside scoop on the 07-01-08 release date for FeMALE TRAITS II. (And word on the streets is that yours truly was quoted on the back. But you didn’t hear that from me…)
LOSING HER MAN, PREGNANT AND NOT SURE OF THE PATERNITY OF HE UNBORN CHILD, GRACE TRUFANT IS UP TO HER TRICKS AND BACK AGAIN!!! ADD TO THAT ANOTHER SISTER WITH FeMALE TRAITS, FELICIA HUBERT, AND THE TRAITS FLY WILD ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!
