Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thomas once again lets her characters tell their stories in lively and distinctive voices. Smartly paced, fast and funny."--Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR NAPPILY FAITHFUL:

"Thomas neatly weaves issues of family, parental and social responsibility into the domestic dramas."--Kirkus Reviews
“You’ll find yourself caring about these characters Thomas has created over the past seven years, beginning with her debut novel Nappily Ever After…This latest novel proves that Thomas has few peers when spinning a cliffhanger.”—Essence magazine
"Nappily Faithful is a wonderful well-written novel about love, loss and the lengths a mother will go to in order to protect her child...Trisha R. Thomas' newest book is a guranteed page-turner with more twists and turns than a roller coaster....impossible to put down."--South Jersey Mom (4/5)

PRAISE FOR NAPPILY MARRIED:

"Thomas pulls off a followup every bit as engrossing as its predecessors."--Essence magazine
"Thomas keeps the action flowing with short chapters, well-orchestrated subplots, steamy sex and root-forable characters." --Publishers Weekly
"...Fiction with a feminine take on balancing family and career with witty dialogue and endearing characters."--Spirit (Southwest Airlines) Magazine
"'Wow' is what you say when something makes you laugh, cry and tell your friends about it. This is a definite "wow" book." Romantic Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Follow Up!
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2009
Verified Purchase
This is a really good follow up in the Nappily series. Venus and Jake are seemingly content and enjoying a more quiet life in Atlanta raising Mya when Jake's past legal troubles resurface. So with the help of his old friend Legend, Jake tries to put the past to rest once and for all. Venus is moving past the pain of her miscarriage and has recently opened "In Bloom" a flower shop. She signs on as wedding coordinator for Televangelist Trevelle Doval's daughter Keisha's wedding. Can she mediate peace between drama queen Trevelle and adoptive mom Judge Hawkins? All while trying to stay safe and sane? Doubtful! Lots of twists and turns and surprises. I really enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next installment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, if nothing else!
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2009

I regretfully came to this conclusion: NAPPILY IN BLOOM isn't great. Moreover, if I hadn't already read and reviewed Ms. Thomas' other works, I am not sure I would have read this one at all. But I was curious -- What is Miss Venus up to now? And has she learned ANYTHING from the mistakes she made in the past books?

Venus doesn't seem to have learned a thing. But the kidnapping element, rogue FBI agents, and the new business -- her IN BLOOM flowership -- were a nice twist to the story! I suppose that I like the addition of a truly sinister character and a kidnapping to the crazy exploits of black relationships. If you are going for dramatic, the more drama the better!

The plot of NAPPILY IN BLOOM is even crazier than the previous novels. I lost the ability to relate to Venus, despite our shared natural look, after the first two novels in the series. I can't not imagine any black woman with good sense behaving like any of the women in this series. But, I was nosy enough to want to know if Venus has further damaged her marriage, if her ex was still out to get her, and who exactly kidnapped whom in this particular novel. The ending was unfortunately messy and unclear -- I think a chapter must have been left out during the editing process! I am still not sure how Venus got away from the kidnappers!

If you seek suspense and entertainment, read NAPPILY IN BLOOM --- just make sure you remember how NAPPILY FAITHFUL and NAPPILY MARRIED ended first, otherwise you will be a little lost! If you seek more substance, I recomment Diane McKinney Whetstone's new book.

I like this book. Just when you think there is nothing else to write about in this series, something else pops up and keeps you reading. I have read all of her books and this entire series and cant say enough about it. I am not an avide reader so when i read all of an authors books that really says something. Great job cant wait for something new to come out.

I read a lot of books like these and I especially like serial books. Thomas does such a great job with character development and you can't help but root for this couple. I've read every book in this series.

I have always enjoyed this series and this book displays Ms Thomas'' craftsmanship. Good story line with good characters and well written in a fast paced way to match the storyline. It's unfortunate that the only depiction of Christianity is through mockery and showing false prophets rather than depicting the many men and women of God who preach the Bible and serve God faithfully and tirelessly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love the series; hated this book
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2010

I loved all of the Nappily Books. They are quick reads and full of drama. But this one failed me. There were too many sub plots and the switches from chapter to chapter was a bit confusing/frustrating. I also thought the story was not tied together very well. And the ending was very anti-climatic. Worst of all....I found four typos in the book! The sloppiness made me think the book was rushed.
