Welcome back to Teaser Tuesday hosted by Should Be Reading and First Chapter, First Paragraph hosted by Bibliophile By The Sea.
This week I'm reading Love on Death Row, a women's fiction by Melissa Love. I should warn you. This book contains themes of violence, abuse and strong language that could form triggers for some readers.
Here's the opening paragraph:
I guess you’re probably wondering how a loving daughter, a great wife and an educated black woman like me, happened to end up on death row. Well, it wasn’t hard at all… and as a matter of fact, you probably would have done it too. It took nothing for me to pull the trigger of my beautiful gun that was given to me by a friend of mine. Hell, his ass deserved it and so much more! Especially, after what he had done to me and all the shit he had put me through! I believe that No female should have to take that shit and I wasn’t about to go down without a fight!
Here's the teaser:
I went back downstairs and busted all the pictures that had the home wrecking whore in them. I poured bleach all on the sofa in the living room, I busted all the shelves in the hall closet, and then I took the bleach again and pour it all on his Play Station console and the games that he loves so much. I think bleach is the answer to all my problems.
Here's the blurb:
What do you think? Would you keep reading? Leave me a comment and have a fabulous week.

Here's the blurb:
How Far Would You Go To Save Your
Marriage?
From the outside De’Nesha Cole had the picture
perfect life with two beautiful children and a loving husband. But on the
outside, Terence was far from perfect. He was violent, controlling and abusive.
When her best friends find out what’s been going on behind closed doors, they encourage
her to go to the authorities, but she refused. She was determined to make her
marriage work no matter at what cost and death was no exception.
What do you think? Would you keep reading? Leave me a comment and have a fabulous week.
