Public Speaker, Educator Something Desirable is a good read and I couldn't wait to turn
the page. I was so curious, I thought many times to jump to the last page to see what Adrienne did with all her conflicting
feelings, but I willed myself to read it all the way through. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good
book. Pauline R. Evans, Author An Amazing Debut Adrienne Baxter is the epitome of a strong, ambitious, and successful independent woman. She has a supportive group of girlfriends as well as a loving family.

With both men in heavy pursuit of her love, Adrienne’s life becomes an emotional rollercoaster that forces her to choose between two men who have undoubtedly stolen pieces of her heart. Is it possible to love two men at once? How can we tell when it is real love or just infatuation? These are some of the questions Powell poses in her debut novel, Something Desirable, a page turning love story that about success and the pursuit of true love. “A breath of fresh air in Urban Lit., Powell, portrays the positive side of African-American culture, family and relationships.

with Brian - Dexter walks into her life... and was not supposed to happen! As a lovely and intelligent African American woman,
she finds she is uncharacteristically weak and unsure as she enjoys the attention of both men. Only one, however, can win... M.
Hudson, Review it! What Is A Girl To Do? I have been with my husband since high school. When I read books like Something Desirable by Sherlyn Powell, I am so happy I recognized my soul mate when I did. If I was Adrienne Baxter, I would be pulling my hair out with the decisions of who should it be. Adrienne has all her ducks lined up in a precise row. The only thing missing is a fine, loving man for herself. When her old flame resurfaces, Adrienne is ecstatic. But when another good looking man shows interest in her, she finds herself in a love triangle. Would it be Brian, the boyfriend who got away years ago because of the long distance relationship? Or, would it be Dexter, the fun and exciting man who keeps everything interesting and spontaneous? Powell developed real-life, down-to-earth, every day characters. As I read Something Desirable, I could see someone I know going through the same sort of conflicting emotions and stressing over them. The need to know what happened next kept me with the book at my side at all times. Jennifer Coissiere APOOO BookClub
