Review for 'Wife'At the risk of sounding like a broken record in every review I write of her books, I will say once again, Nia Forrester is a very talented writer. That is simply the long and the short of it.I was firmly against the idea of a book about Keisha. I just did not see the need to delve into her story and I thought, okay now, Miss Forrester is stretching it. I had no plans to even read 'Mistress,' but eventually gave in and in the end, felt foolish for having waited so long.I should have known that only a very talented writer (yeah, I said it again), could make me a cheerleader for a character who I would have just as soon forgotten about.Keisha and Jayson are the perfect, imperfect couple. They have a mountain of issues to deal with individually, so it feels like they really shouldn't be together. There's that "life" that Keisha lived in the not too distant past that always threatens to rear it's ugly head. Jayson is still not completely comfortable being a free man after serving a 10 year sentence for something he didn't do.Despite all the uncertainties, the one thing they do know for sure is that the other is someone very special. More special than anyone else in their lives. Yet, there are always obstacles in the form of other people that cause them to question their feelings. Crazy Fiona, Jayson's classmate/stalker from high school. Marcus, Keisha's gorgeous and flirtatious neighbor. I literally held my breath each time one of them entered the scene.'Wife' is yet another captivating, expertly crafted story. I literally have to decompress after finishing each of Nia Forrester's books and this will be no different. I become completely wrapped up in the characters and have to release them back to the pages until next we meet. And let's just say I am thrilled to know we shall be meeting again in 'Mother.'
