Another Woman s Man Shelly EllisReview from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews This is one of a connected series of stand alone books about the Gibbons sisters I loved the description I do like a complicated romance with jealousies and love tanglesI ve not read the other books but enjoyed this one never the less I rarely look at book covers and it wasn t til I was some way into the book that I realised many of the characters were coloured That made me feel as if I was racist as I suddenly realised I d automatically assumed everyone was whiteand I felt really bad for a while Mulling it over though I realised I also assume everyone in a book is able bodied unless its specified otherwise even though I m an amputee wheelchair user so I ve come to the conclusion I m just assuming norms and where I live rural north Norfolk most people are white and able bodied Felt better after that as I ve always been clear that I hate any form of discrimination don t understand why people are so hooked on colour and race and for a while thought I d inadvertently succumbed to it myself Anyway the book its a fun read I loved the scatty sisters the much wed mum and the way they all were so close even though they fought like teens at times Its nice to have that love and support even if it is wearing sometimes Poor Dawn she feels as though she s always judged by her mums behaviour multiple marriages and supported financially by husbands She s been married twice herself which doesn t help but has decided no men she s going to just concentrate on her art career She s proud that she stands on her own two feet Then her dad comes into the story she s never known about him but now he s dying he wants to meet her They get on really well but it causes friction with her sisters as they think she s putting her new family first Of course there s also the complication of her just discovered half sister s fianc the hot and sexy Xavier who she s really really attracted to The Gibbons sisters have a motto though Never take another sisters man and she s not going to break it Besides that he s younger than her and at first meeting assumes she s like her mothers and very judgemental Xavier is confused Dawn and her family stand for all the things he dislikes so why is he so attracted to her He s getting married to her half sister in a few months and they are total contrasts If he loves Elizabeth how come he wants Dawn She volunteers after much persuasion to tutor art classes at the youth centre he helps run and from there they just get closer There s lots going on too that pack the story with interests and shows each characters for what they are Its full of back stabbings betrayals jealousies a stalker trying to stop her mums wedding so much going on than meets the eye There s lots of fun and drama here never a dull moment and it s a romance I really enjoyed reading but as a one off only Starsfour good solid story ARC supplied by Netgalley Another Womans Man Gibbons Gold Digger Novel 3 As the 3rd Gibbons sister Dawn was introduced not as reserved as Lauren and just as feisty as Stephanie Dawn proved she could also hold her own While she had basically given up on love once Dawn met her father her love floodgates opened also Throughout the storyline was evolving as Dawn s growth was seen in her 2 younger sisters Mother Yolonda continued as a piece of work with sister Cynthia not far behind This is a very good series that I m truly enjoying Looking forward to reading about Cynthia to see if she can be melted Another Womans Man Gibbons Gold Digger Novel 3 It is entirely a testament to Shelly Ellis ability to develop a compelling character and gave me the opportunity to overlook the actions and beliefs at the core of the main character s personality most of which are distasteful and dance on the edge of stereotypical Dawn is one of the four Gibbons sisters raised by their mother to take a what he can do FOR me attitude toward the men in their life Her mother has managed to amass considerable wealth and always been able to provide the best for her girls despite her utterly mercenary views on men and relationships For Dawn the whole process is tiring and she is starting to see that the way she was raised and the beliefs she holds about men and relationships just may not be right So she has decided that focusing on her career is most important and perhaps a relationship a carefully contrived constrained and constructive agreement will come in time All of that is thrown into the skip when her father reappears in her life and she sees the destructive power of her mother s greed and actions While she spends time with the man she didn t know revelations about her childhood the things she always believed and even her own thoughts about her family dynamic and behavior are all brought into uestion Nothing sends her into uestioning mode than Xavier her father s right hand man who also happens to be engaged to her half sister Xavier is as intrigued by Dawn as she is by him his fianc is spoiled and very much a Daddy s Girl with little positive to redeem her He s not looking not really but there is Dawn only interested in carefully contrived highly regulated encounters that don t involve her heart Ellis manages to give each character in this story an emotional honesty and ability to uestion what they know when they get new information The whole gold digger philosophy is so abhorrent and foreign to me that the matter of fact proclamations from Dawn s mother is in such a direct contrast from the woman that Dawn is starting to become that it was difficult to not empathize with her struggle to incorporate the new information and adjust herself accordingly Now the whole other woman s man issue was a difficult one to swallow and while Ellis did manage to provide both Xavier and Dawn with reasons that they used to justify their own growing relationship both lost a few points in the I can like this character department The story did wander a bit than I would have hoped and there were several threads that were uickly woven in to completion without really feeling as if they really had been dealt with but for my first introduction to this author this was an interesting concept and view into her deft handling of difficult philosophies and behaviors The books in the collection each focus on a different sister and this installment worked as a single read without issue I was challenged to put aside my own personal prejudices about infidelity and mercenary mate hunting and thoroughly enjoyed it I received an eArc copy from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review I was not compensated for this review all conclusions are my own responsibility Another Womans Man Gibbons Gold Digger Novel 3 Another Woman s Man is the third book in Shelly Ellis Gibbons Gold Digger Series This novel is written from Dawn Gibbons point of view She is the second oldest of the four sisters Dawn is starting to think that catering to men and following her mother s teachings is becoming a lot of work and not worth it So she decides to take a sabbatical from men to focus on her career This becomes hard for her to do once she receives a surprise visit from her long lost father and his handsome lawyer She soon finds out that her father s lawyer is her soon to be brother in law This means that she has to try and deny her attraction to him Throughout this novel Dawn is taken on a roller coaster ride and the reader goes with her through a wide range of emotions This is another good book by Shelly Ellis and I would definitely recommend this series Another Womans Man Gibbons Gold Digger Novel 3 Another Woman s Man by Shelly Ellis is the third release in the Gibbons Gold Digger series The author did an amazing job by writing such an exhilarating story that can be read as a stand alone if the reader chooses not to start with the first novelDawn Gibbons finally decided to break the family tradition and stopped seeking men according to their wealth With two marriages under her belt Dawn is keeping her eyes off of men and focusing on her art gallery When her father whom she has never met enters her life her attention is uickly diverted to his handsome lawyerXavier Hughes is leery about Herbert Allen s new found decision to meet his estranged daughter Once Xavier and Dawn moved past their crossroad he realizes how much she has changed from her last divorce Engaged to one daughter and physically attracted to another Xavier s loyalty to Herbert is uestionableToo often estranged relationships have a continuous negative impact on the people involved which is why I m glad the author took the storyline in a different direction between Dawn and Herbert Herbert acknowledged Dawn as his daughter not only in private but also publiclyI m still in awe regarding Dawn s half sister s character Constance At first she appeared to be ditsy and naive but when the truth was revealed Constance s character is the complete opposite When Yolanda Dawn s mother is standing at the altar ready to say I do her world comes to an abrupt halt when her fiance s girlfriend is standing in front of them pointing a38 revolverAnother Woman s Man will keep you turning page after page The scenes are filled with betrayal sorrow laughter and love I love when authors include life s lessons within their writing One that stands out is be true to yourself to love someone else This novel is highly recommended Reviewed by LaMona Another Womans Man Gibbons Gold Digger Novel 3
