Since this week was a Freebie topic, I decided focus on Memorable Stud Characters. Join me, will you?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #32cd32;\">Denise, Cooley, Nic<\/span><\/strong> (of the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sistahsontheshelf.com\/?p=271\">Choices<\/a><\/em> series by Skyy):\u00a0 The studs in Skyy&#8217;s Choices series are women we&#8217;ve all dated, desired or dumped. That&#8217;s what makes Denise (the sensitive one), Cooley (the playa), and Nic (the supportive one) such great characters. I&#8217;ll hate for these studs&#8217; stories to come to an end in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1601623852\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1601623852&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sistontheshel-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Full Circle<\/a><\/em>, out now.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #32cd32;\"><strong>Symone Holmes<\/strong><\/span> (of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sistahsontheshelf.com\/?p=164\">I Am Your Sister<\/a><\/em> series by Ericka K. F. Simpson):\u00a0 An engaging stud, Symone is intelligent and strong-willed. She can also be hard-headed, as well. But she is, most of all, an honest stud.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #32cd32;\">Tee<\/span><\/strong> (of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sistahsontheshelf.com\/?p=4321\">The Space Our Love Demands<\/a><\/em> by Kionne Nicole): Funny and full of life, Tee is the best friend of main character Hadiyah Matthews, but she steals the scene. She&#8217;s both book smart and street smart, and has a great head on her shoulders. She needs to have her own book now.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #32cd32;\">Cleopatra Giovanni<\/span><\/strong> (of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sistahsontheshelf.com\/?p=3393\">She Wants Her <\/a><\/em>by Tasha C. Miller): Cleo&#8217;s magnetic personality draws women to her like bees to honey. There&#8217;s just something about her personality that engages both gay and straight women, but her vulnerability and power to love in spite of her past are her strongest points.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #32cd32;\">bull-jean<\/span><\/strong> (of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sistahsontheshelf.com\/?p=2247\">the bull-jean stories<\/a><\/em> by Sharon Bridgforth): a rough-talkin\u2019, blue-collar bulldagga in the 1920s, bull-jean is a willing participant in love. bull-jean falls in love faster than greased lightning, and has no problem expressing her feelings to the one she loves.

She loves just as hard. The torch she holds for a college sweetheart is endearing. She gets plenty of action in the meantime, though.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #32cd32;\">London Walters<\/span><\/strong> (of <a href=\"http:\/\/sistahsontheshelf.com\/?p=268\"><em>London Reign<\/em><\/a> by A. C. Britt): Kicked out of her house for being gay, London does what she gotta do to stay alive on the Boston streets. London is a real stud-thug, but you see she has heart.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #32cd32;\">Chan Parker<\/span><\/strong> (of <a href=\"http:\/\/sistahsontheshelf.com\/?p=1994\"><em>Dying for a Change<\/em><\/a> by Sean Reynolds): Cool-as-a-fan, Chan Parker is a 33-year-old numbers runner, working her dead-end profession with all the enthusiasm of a broken toaster.
