Get Your Groom On
Debut author, NeCee, comes out with a sizzling book so hot that she had to put a "caution" sign on the front page of this must read novel. She weaves an exciting and dramatic tale of two strong women who know what they want in a man and they set out to get it. Grooming Him for Her chronicles the lives of the two dramatically different main characters, Nikki Ford and Sasha Benet. Nikki is a successful single attorney trying to convince her baby's daddy to marry her while Sasha is happily single and chasing after a married man. With a few other interesting characters sprinkled in the mix, Grooming Him for Her was an enticing read.

Filled with enough romantic interludes for married and single couples to appreciate, this novel is a quick read that will keep you quickly turning the pages until you reach the end. Told with wit from a modern day single sister that has learned a few lessons, the "Food for Thought" section at the end of the book will definitely have you thinking, thinking, thinking. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a fast paced entertaining story.

Provocative and fun
Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (1/08)

This is the author NeCee's debut novel and it is a winner. The quirky short story is a quick read but has it all - wildly successful women, relationship problems, great sex and friendship. I was left wishing the story had been longer but was quickly satisfied by reading the short sequel "Crawlers."

The story centers around two women, Nikki Ford and Sasha Benay. Nikki is a successful attorney who thinks she has everything she wants in life. She is fast tracking it to the top at work, has a man that she loves, a beautiful son and her best friend Pearl. Nikki is committed to her relationship with Brandon and is hoping to marry him until he begins to pull away from her more and more. He is intimidated by Nikki's success and will not attend any work functions with her. After they break up Nikki has a hard time moving on but she begins to realize that the relationship was going nowhere. Her European co-worker, Matthew, has been trying to get Nikki's attention for a long time and she begins to notice him more and more as Brandon leaves her life.

Sasha Benay is loving life. She has a wonderful career, her best friend Star and she has learned to date like a man by not taking anyone seriously. That works for her until she sets her site on Pearl's faithful husband, Robert. Sasha keeps telling herself that it is just about sex, but cannot get Robert off her mind.

Both women end up "Grooming" their man for another woman. Nikki does it for Brandon's new love, Star, who cannot believe this wonderful man is available. And Sasha teaches Robert things that he begins to use to spark up his sex life at home.

The "sistah's" in this book offer great insights into men and relationships. I laughed out loud and learned a lot. NeCee has also added a section to take notes at the end and a "Food for Thought" chapter that would make this a great book club book to read. I highly recommend "Grooming Him for Her" for women to read and use for a discussion group.

Grooming Him...
Nikki and Sasha are two women who know what they want and render an image of certainty, however that portrayal is far from the truth. One is a partner at a law firm doing well in every aspect of her life, but her longterm boyfriend has yet to commit. When she starts to question their relationship, she's more open to the attention of other men, specifically a co-worker who shows an interest in her. The other is happily single and likes the challenge of nailing a man, making him want her -- even if he is already married. She doesn't concern herself with the moral grounds of her proposition and is determined to have what she wants, whatever the cost. The lives of these characters and those they are involved with becomes a tangled mess of drama, heartache, and also much-needed revelations.

GROOMING HIM FOR HER by debut author NeCee will appeal to those with interests in fast-paced books with high drama and a sprinkling of sex scenes. She also includes photos throughout the book to help the reader get a clearer picture. Unfortunately, I found them unnecessary and distracting to the story. Additionally, the book was too short and didn't allow ample time to develop the characters and their motivations. On the flip side, the story was interesting and the concept one I'm sure many wonder about. Do women really groom a man for the next woman's benefit? GROOMING HIM FOR HER points in that direction.

NeCee closes with a section called "Food for Thought" in which she outlines each character and how the reader can learn from their actions. This was an added bonus and will lead to detailed discussions in book club circles, making GROOMING HIM FOR HER a good selection for reading groups.
