A Woman's Intuition: A Love Lesson by Quiana Nicole (Major Key Publishing) (56 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

"Trust your instincts; intuition doesn't lie." A woman's intuition just may be one of the most powerful forces on earth. It's an internal magic that tells a woman when something isn't right way before a man notices anything. In fact, it has been catching men do dirt for years... You have two women in very different situations. Cheyenne has found herself in one debacle after another, and she is at her wit's end when she finds herself unemployed, carless, and almost homeless. She doesn't have a man to speak of, but she is doing everything within her power to get herself back together, at least on the professional side of things. But as soon as she meets Parish, her instincts tell her to run in the other direction since the rumors she hears about him remind her of her ex, Jayson, and all his womanizing ways. Foolishly ignoring her gut instincts, she allows Parish in to break down her walls... all of them. Despite the way he came and swept her off her feet, Parish still has a chapter from his past that hasn't been closed -- that ex-girlfriend of his. Although she's moved on and is in a whole relationship of her own, she manages to still have a hold on Parish. No matter how many times he's tried to walk away from her, she's his kryptonite. Then we have Alayah, who finds herself in a very toxic relationship by her own admission. She's dealt with her longtime boyfriend, Rashad's, infidelities and indiscretions for way too long. After meeting Marcel, a guy that seems to be everything that Rashad isn't and has never been to her, she still finds herself holding Rashad down once he gets locked up. Will this misguided perception of blind loyalty she has for Rashad cause her to miss out on what could be the love of a lifetime?
