Summary: Baisden Does It Again!!
Comment: Author extraordinaire has done it again. His new book "God's Gift To Women" takes one night of passion and pushes the envelope OFF the table...beyond "Fatal Attraction". This suspenseful tale introduces the reader to Julian Payne - an up and coming Radio Host who gets his big break at a Houston radio station. His ratings are through the roof due to his profound advice on relationships. He is also a reformed womanizer and single parent. You will never forget Olivia - a sexy, hazel eyed woman with a dark side. If you have ever met a Player...you will relate to Eddie - a bold womanizer with a live-in girlfriend. Terri - A Good Woman. Most people can relate to Denise - A Good Woman dating a No Good Man. There are some other characters that help to propel this drama along.
This page turner will have you in suspense as one night of passion turns into Julian's worst nightmare. You think you know...but you have to read this because you are in for a bigger thrill than you know. The nightmare includes murder, poetry, kidnapping and a lot of relationship wisdom. Who is willing to pay the price for their sins? Which woman will realize that time is the most valuable thing and should not be wasted on players? Will the men who think they are God's Gift To Women take heed from this book?

Summary: The Black Version of Fatal Attraction
Comment: Since Baisden's first book, I've been a fan. Baisden's latest book, "God's Gift to Women" is an action-packed book. Though the plot is predictable from Olivia R Brown's first encounter with Julian Payne, it deals with the bigger and more complex issues of how men and women misinterpret sex for love and the ramifications of a one-night stand.
I believe Baisden set up the story to be a typical "Fatal Attraction" because the book's introduction tells the whole story. The rest of the book tells how Olivia and Julian met, Olivia's mental state and actions, Julian's failure to respond to Olivia's action (hindsight), Olivia and Julian's final meeting, and a repeat of the introduction. I felt either the intro or the final chapter could have been omitted since I read the same details twice - this may have been a way to recap, tie up loose ends, and bring everything to a close.
Julian Payne, the main character, is a windowed single father of a pre-teen daughter. Julian is a relationship expert hosting radio talk show, "Love, Lies, and Lust" - what an ironic title!
Samantha (Sam) Payne, Julian's daughter, is protective of her father getting involved in a relationship after the death of her father. Part of the plot uses Sam's musical talent and youthfulness to show the extremes that people will go through to get what they want.
Olivia R. Brown, Julian's one-night stand stalker, is a woman that initially appears to have "it" all together, but has been emotionally scarred by men from her past. The R has significance in the plot.
Terry Ross, Julian's girlfriend, is a psychologist dealing with her personal struggle to love and trust again.
Mitch, Julian's co-worker, serves as Julian's source of wisdom and stability
Eddie, Julian's buddy, is in a long uncommitted (on his part) relationship - truly the opposite of Mitch.
Janet, whom Terry mentors, a lot of times seem to mentor Terry on how to deal with men.
Overall, the book is well organized with the exception of several revealed "clues" in the plot that I had to scan back through the book to see if they were actually given - one or two I couldn't find. It's a quick read - I finished in about two days. I will definitely recommend "God's Gift to Women" along with "Maintenance Man".

Summary: One Night of Passion.....hmmmm
Comment: Michael Baisden has once again written a novel that keeps you turning the pages.
In this novel we're introduced to Julian Payne, father and radio personality. Julian has just received the job of a lifetime and has to move Houston. On his last night he meets, Olivia a beautiful women who seems to have it all together. He is instantly drawn to her, sexually and decides to have one last fling before leaving Chicago.
All is going well (both personally and professionally) for Julian until he realizes that his last night of passion in Chicago has turned into a seriously "fatal attraction".
What happens from this point is something you have to read because you will be well entertained. The story is intense and funny at the same time. It's face paced and don't blink too hard or you might miss an interesting little twist.
This is one I think all men and women should read, it makes you really wonder if a one night stand is worth the thrill it provides. For all of us who might think that what happened in this book will never happen to us, think again because you truly never know.
