More About This Book

Overview

Lutishia Lovely serves up a sizzling behind-the-scenes tale of rivalry and scandal in a family's booming soul food dynasty. . .

With brothers Malcolm and Toussaint Livingston at the helm, business at Taste of Soul is thriving and the family seems to have it all. But jealousy and competition threaten to tarnish their picture-perfect image.

Toussaint is a risk-taker, determined to expand the restaurant chain at a record pace, but levelheaded Malcolm insists on challenging Toussaint's goals. And at home, there's more heating up than grits and collard greens. Malcolm is growing weary of his marriage and his ever-expanding brood of children. His brother's Casanova lifestyle looks more and more appealing. But Toussaint's playboy days aren't as carefree as Malcolm thinks. Toussaint's met his match in interior designer Alexis St. Clair, a woman who refuses to become just another dish on this player's mating menu. But if Toussaint has his way, the happenings in both the boardroom and the bedroom are all about to change. . .

"Lovely once again expertly illuminates the wacky world of the devout and devoutly devilish." --Publishers Weekly on Reverend Feelgood

"Vibrant characters, artful storytelling, and an original voice make Lutishia Lovely worth every moment." --Donna Hill

"A great new taste in the literary world." --Carl Weber

    Really good!

    The book started off slow and trying to remember who is who in the beginning was overwhelming so I put the book down (I blame it on age). Determined to finish what I started, I was HIGHLY impressed with the story! I am now on the hunt for the continuation!!! Bravo Ms. Lovely!

    All Up In It!

    A set of twin brothers stay true to the sibling rivalry creed and challenge each other every chance they get. When it comes to the family business, they are all about getting the job done and increasing the family net worth in the same breadth. While some would assume that one brother is more impulsive it is the other who has a plan to elevate their soul food empire out of the teetering border of bankruptcy into potential franchise heaven. With plenty of side drama to tie it all together, there is a second family legacy that is wrecking havoc underneath all of the success that the Livingston clan has enjoyed.

    This book was heavily exhilarating. There were so many twist and turns that had me on the edge of my seat, flipping pages, just waiting to find out what would happen next. Every single character in this book was interesting, not just the twins. Everyone had a motive, everyone had a storyline, and that is what makes a book of this girth an enjoyable read. I eagerly anticipate the next installment to this series. Lutishia's transition from drama in the church to drama in life period was seamless!

    AAMBC Book Reviews

    This story engages the reader from the very beginning with a tale woven from a family business that spans a couple of generations. The Livingston family has built an empire from their love of and ability to cook soul food. The entire Livingston clan is involved in the business with the brothers Malcolm and Toussaint in charge. There is more than one story being told but all are connected. While all appears to be the picture of perfection, beneath the smiles and wealth of the Livingston's, there are secrets, lies and jealousy that threaten to tear the family apart. The reader will appreciate the pace of the story as it's steady and flows easily. From a single mom to the top CEO of The Taste of Soul Restaurant, the characters all make for an excellent read. I believe that anyone reading this book will agree that it deserves 5 stars.

    Reshuffled

    Introducing the Livingstons, an affluent African-American family in Atlanta, Georgia. They own Taste of Soul, a fast casual soul food restaurant. The Livingstons are trying to ensure that they remain profitable in these tough economic times. Siblings Malcolm and Toussaint have been competitive since their youth. With the chance to take the company to the next level, each brother has a different plan. Whose will be the winning idea?

    Malcolm, a married father of four, is having issues at home as his wife, Victoria, spends all of her time in church or with the children. When he finds that they are about to welcome their fifth child, he's less than pleased and finds himself spending valuable time with another woman. Will he remember that he's already taken a vow?

    To many of the women in Atlanta, Toussaint, the youngest brother, is the hottest dish on the menu. Vowing to never get seriously involved, Toussaint splits his time evenly with numerous women, including Shyla, an employee with perks. His tune quickly changes when he meets Alexis, an interior designer, who restructures his thoughts. Can he be a one woman man?

    ALL UP IN MY BUSINESS by Lutishia Lovely has a riveting flair. I love the close-knit family, their unmistakable love, care and involvement in one another's lives. It was refreshing to see a happy, thriving African American family. Sadly, the story lost a lot of luster as parts of the story are very irrelevant to the main storyline and offer very little to the flow. More disappointing was the way in which the story ends. It was messy instead of scandalous. Some editing issues with wrong tense and spelling.

    Very intriguing and interesting story....you have family, romance, thrill, drama and suspense.

    Very intriguing and interesting story....you have family, romance, thrill, drama and suspense. This book is centered around the Livingston family. There are twin brothers and one of their sons that run the family business that was established by their father. On top of this well established family business this family has a long, rich history that is a noted legacy for the men....fidelity and long marriages.



    As you read, you are hurled into the lives of these people as individuals, couples, families and the Family while you are hanging on to every word. The brothers are Ace and Adam and the sons that work with the family business are Malcolm and Toussaint, the offspring of Adam. Ace is married to Diane and they have two offspring that are not involved is the family business. Adam is married to Candace and he co-chairs the business along side his brother with his sons as integral players in the business successes. and nephews. As the story unfolds we are wrapped up in the lives of the single brother, Toussaint, that has women falling all over him as an eligible bachelor and his brother the family man that finds himself unfulfilled and ready to stake his own spot in the business world where he is the success. As we progress through the book we witness their trials, tribulation, choices and the results of those choices with family always looming in the forefront.



    Ms. Lovely did a great job expelling a story line that is engaging, exciting and an easy read. She tells us of the individual lives and the Family with fluidity and thoroughness. I am eagerly awaiting the next installation, Mind Your Own Business which comes out September 2011.
