Some people take that Bonnie and Clyde kind of love way too seriously.<\/p>\n

If you read TONGUE LOVE<\/em><\/strong>, the debut novella from Ebony Reese, you’d understand what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0 ride-or-die story begins with Jersey, a bartender extraordinaire tired of meeting the same old females in the club. You know the types: the stuck-up sistahs; the desperate types; the every-week attendees; the “I-got-a-man-at-home-but-I-like-a-female-on-the-side” women. It bothered Jersey that couldn\u2019t find a decent love of her own, someone bringing just as much to the table as she would.<\/p>\n

Yet, looking out her window was all it took to find this perfect woman when she catches sight of Tropicana. A hairstylist in the salon across the street, the dimepiece enthralls Jersey with her not-so-subtle curves, but she’s too shy to make a move.<\/p>\n

The time comes when they meet, and Tropicana is everything Jersey wants: smart, ambitious and ready for a serious relationship. More importantly, Tropicana is fiercely loyal. Considering Jersey’s track record of betrayal from her ex and her recent one-night stand, this is what attracts her to Trop.<\/p>\n

Jersey even likes the dark, jealous side of Tropicana \u2013 who\u2019s willing to fight anybody getting to close her lover. Especially this one chick, Kim, who doesn’t want to let Jersey go.<\/p>\n

When Kim goes missing, Jersey is curious and concerned. Could Trop – who has serious legal and underground connections – have something to do with Kim’s disappearance? How much does Jersey really know about this beauty she intends to wife?<\/p>\n

In a small amount of pages, Reese packs a lot of drama and suspense in Tongue Love<\/em>. Is it believable? I guess, if one could accept that true love can overcome criminal acts that are Law & Order<\/em> worthy.<\/p>\n
