Miserably Perplexed
Sand is slick, charming and most of all irresistible. If there was a quick get rich scheme, then Sand was more than likely the culprit behind it. Constantly having something to prove, Sand passed all the tests. Kicked out for being different at the ripe age of 16, Sand fought hard to achieve not only a high school diploma but a college degree.

Rene is beautiful and sexy. She was a foster child placed in the system by a mother whose career was more important than her raising her child. Determined to be more than a paycheck to someone, Rene found a job, an apartment and Sand's relentless love.

Sand is busy fulfilling a dream to own a legit business. While preparing for the opening, Sand's time becomes shorter and leaves Rene with time of her own where she finds herself wondering if she's happy living a life with Sand or is someone else more suitable for that position.

My Secrets Your Lies reveals betrayal, greed, suspense and drama to Sand and Rene's relationship. Will this young couple be able to handle the demons stalking their happiness? While newcomer N'tyse does a great job with building her characters, I felt that the story got a little too jumbled when it came to revealing the conspiracy. While the twists are steadily rolling in, there are literally so many that readers will become overwhelmed trying to keep score with who is an alliance or an enemy.

Secrets and Lies will kill you
If you're looking for a dramatic tale about two scandalous females, then MY SECRETS YOUR LIES will definitely fit the bill.

This delicious novel, written by author N'Tyse, is off the chain. It begins with Sand, a hustla willing to do anything to keep her lady Rene satisfied. Both hitting the streets as teens, out in the cruel world, the two became inseparable. Sand was attracted to Rene's natural good looks and banging body, while Rene was drawn into the security her stud offered. With a little ingenuity, they manage to hold each other down for the long haul.

Everything changes one day for Rene, though. She feels stifled in her relationship and is tired of being treated differently for being gay. She begins seeing someone new (gasp, a man) behind Sand's back, spitting more lies than President Bush at a FEMA press conference. Yet, Rene is sure her life would be better with a man as her partner than a woman.

Predictably, Rene soon learns that the grass isn't greener on the other side. Despite her issues with being gay, she realizes where her heart truly is - with Sand - although it might be too little, too late. Too much has happened between them to go back: infidelity, kidnapping, a baby. Will there be enough love to bring them together?

N'Tyse kept me mesmerized with the love affair between Sand and Rene. My Secrets Your Lies, while it has some exaggerated drama, is true to the life of some black lesbians. Urban lesbian novels are on the rise in the literary world, and N'Tyse has created one of the better ones. It's a story I would recommend to both women in the life and straight folks who want to understand what the lifestyle is all about.

You will undoubtedly be schooled.

Exposed
What started out as a passionate, loving relationship has dwindled. The love is still there, but as for the passion, that's another story. Once upon a time it was all about Sand and Rene. But with Sand being so preoccupied, Rene has nothing but time on her hand. Time to consider their relationship. Time to consider the choices she's made. Time to consider what is it she really wants - a woman or a man. In the meantime, Sand is not only too busy to notice Rene is lonely, she's running with an unsavory crowd. What happens when secrets and lies are exposed?

This debut novel by N'Tyse looks into the alternative relationship of two women, but the story never delivers on its possibilities. Both Sand and Rene are interesting characters, and I would have liked to have seen more done with them. Although the deceit of their relationship is the main plot, a secondary plot develops and the story makes a sharp right leaving readers wondering what happened.
