Who is your favorite football team?

I write romance so you know I couldn’t let this season go by without my take on how to have romance during the football season. I wrote an entire article on the subject. 

My top five tips on making the most of football season with your mate:

1. Purchase him a jersey, a hat, or anything with his NFL team on it.
2. Absolutely, do not talk about anything serious to him during the game. He’s not listening and if he does listen, he’ll be mad that you’re interrupting his relaxation time with relationship issues. Save the serious talk for later.
3. If he wants to host a NFL watching party, don’t complain. Be a gracious host and do it cheerfully. You will not go unrewarded
4. Wear a duplicate of your man’s jersey with a tight pair of jeans.
5. If his team wins, celebrate. If his team loses, throw in a stress reliever massage. Win or lose, it can be a win-win situation for you.

LET’S DO A REPEAT!

The movie came in at #4 in the box office this past weekend, which is good for a Black romantic movie, but I really would have liked to see it go #1. Black romantic movies can be successful, but it’s up to avid movie watchers to make it happen. If you love romance novels, then definitely support the movie. Of course, you’re not going to like every romance movie, just like you don’t like every romance novel; but if we want to see more romantic movies with AAs as the main characters, we have to support the ones that do get made.

Queen Latifah (Leslie) of course is an outstanding actress. She’s good with whoever her leading man is; whether it be LL Cool J or in this case Common (Scott). Common was sexy in his role as the NBA superstar. Of course, there has to be a conflict, which came in the form of Leslie’s gold digging god sister Morgan (Paula Patton).

I’m sure I’ll be adding Just Wright to my personal DVD collection, along with my copies of Love Jones, Love & Basketball, Brown Sugar, The Best Man, and a few others.

Let’s hope Just Wright leads to more movies in the genre starring us.

Have you seen Just Wright? If so, what did you think? Do you want to see more Black romance movies made or is it just me?

As a reader and writer of romance, I love the scenes when the characters realize they are actually in love with the other character. They try to reject the idea of love, but underneath all the denials, love is there. Like in fiction, there are signs when a person falls in love, even if they want to ignore them.

Be Careful What You Ask For by Kimberla Lawson Roby

3 Word Review: revenge, oh-no-he-didn’t, lessons

About Be Careful What You Ask For:

New York Times bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby returns with this delightful sequel to The Best of Everything, in which the infamous Reverend Curtis Black’s beautiful daughter, Alicia, is all grown up—and headed for trouble of her own

Her first marriage didn’t work out, but that isn’t going to stop Alicia Black, the privileged daughter of the charismatic Reverend Curtis Black, from getting what she wants. One month after her wedding to her second husband, she can’t believe her good fortune. God has heeded her prayers, blessing her with Pastor JT Valentine, a handsome, dynamic man of the cloth with his own large congregation, just like her father.

Unfortunately, Alicia doesn’t understand just how much like Curtis her new husband truly is. She doesn’t know that JT has been sneaking around town with other women—or that he only married her to get close to her father’s money and fame. But while Alicia is blinded by love, her dad certainly isn’t. He warned his little girl that JT simply can’t be trusted. After all, it takes one to know one, and who better to see into the darkness of a sinner’s heart than Curtis?

It will take a miracle to save the day. But God acts in mysterious ways, and soon a host of lies, longtime secrets, and acts of betrayal comes to light, and Alicia must face some very crucial and life-changing decisions. This time, she’s got to be careful what she prays for. . . .
