As brothers, Colin and Courtney Sheffield know their lives will always be connected. But their mistakes, and those of their absent father before them, have tangled them in a web of bitterness and regret neither of them can shake. A writer constantly struggling to live up to the hype surrounding his first book, Colin is haunted by an event in his past that still darkens his dreams and casts a shadow over his marriage to Liza, a former model with ghosts of her own to vanquish. Even the birth of their beautiful daughter, Lyric, can't hold them together when Colin begins to measure every word he writes against that of another bestselling author who has taken an interest in him—and his brother.Basketball is Courtney's lifeblood. With only one year of college left, h's willing to leave school when rumors of a valuable NBA contract promise to make him everything his brother is not—a true success, and a winner his mother will finally be proud of. But with all h's ever dreamed of within reach, he begins to wonder if he wants something else more—a true relationship with Chante, the only woman h's ever loved, and the mother of a child who may or may not be his.

This was a good book but I didn't like the brother's not speaking to each other. Colin has a lot of demons that he is living with. I never saw that coming. Courtney, I loved, he was the only innocent person in the entire story. He had some messed up people around him and none of them were his friends. I understand the ending and I liked it. The person that was responsible for all of the bad blood was left all alone. The way that it should have been throughout the entire story. Colin and his brother, Courtney were back together. Good job.

Picking up this book, I thought it might be one of those "street life" stories, glorifying the violent conflicts of a certain kind of black man. But, thank God this book wasn't at all what I expected. Instead, it was a deeply moving tale of two brothers, both struggling to find their manhood and heal the wounds created by the errors of their pasts.

I literally could not put this book down until I reached the end. The narrative was gripping and this author, though male, wrote his female characters with a believeable sympathy. But the heart of the story is the brothers, both good men with flaws, who fight through their issues to resolve their relationships with themselves, the women in their lives, and each other.

Well done, Phillip Thomas Duck. I'll look forward to your next one!

OMG, I had to leave a review on this book. I read this book in 2 days because I didn't want to put it down. This book took me through some highs and lows. This is definitely a page turner. All of the characters where great but my heart went out to Courtney. Don't sleep on this one. Excellent job Phillip Thomas Duck

mr.Mine

I wasn't fond of the way it ended (and I hope this isn't confusing) but i ended perfectly for the message it gave. I loved the book and needed the message. Sometimes we forget to simply be grateful for what we have, besides the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

This book was a great read, page turner all the way to the end. There were times that I was holding my breathe. There is a deep message being sent.

I totally enjoyed this book.

The ending left me hanging. I hope there will be a sequel.
