OCTOBER, 2019 SWEET LOVE, BITTER FRUIT By: Lyndell Williams The Plot: From award-winning author Lyndell Williams, a new novel about keeping the flames of love and passion burning in a world determined to snuff them out. Steamy is the best word to describe the Kents. After work, lawyer Marcus wants nothing more than to pull wife, Toni—his “Sweetness”—into his arms. He knows exactly how to make every inch of her hot body shiver under his touch. He is willing to do everything in his power to make her happy, except one. Leaving her downtown practice, psychologist Toni heads uptown to curl up with Marcus, her sexy, younger husband. Their fiery passion is usually fully ablaze, until she makes a de- mand that threatens to snuff it out. ***** Review by The Road Less Read: “Sweet Love, Bitter Fruit was an emotional rollercoaster. There‟s depth, there‟s steamy passion, and there‟s genuine love.” Available in E-Book At: Amazon An Excerpt Machines beeping, people talking, moaning and crying flooded his ears. Is this where he was supposed to lay the most important person in the world to him? It wasn‟t fair. “Don‟t cry, Marc,” Toni whispered while sliding her thumb over his cheek. He gazed into her dark brown eyes. Tiny veins of red meandered through their white irises and stung his soul. She pulled her cracked lips into a grin. “I‟ll be fine.” He sniffed. The tears were beyond his control, like every- thing else. He filled his lungs and grinned past the agony racking his body and heart. “Yeah, I know you will be.” He lifted his gaze and continued to carry her through the hallway. If anything happened to her, his life was over. She was all he needed. Noth- ing or no one else mattered. There was no way a baby was worth it.
