Single Ladies

Life is complicated for a group of five friends living in the inner city. Tammy is starting to feel the pressure of being a single mother of two girls. Chris, her kids' father has been incarcerated for the past five months, not making Tammy's situation any better. Lamar and Falisha have crossed the lines of their friendship after having sex for the first time, and Kim is in her own world lately. She is so focused on her job that she really doesn't have time for any kind of relationship at the moment. Lisa has bitten off more than she can chew when Dre, her prior boyfriend, comes home from prison demanding that they be together again.

When it comes to love, hate, trust, honesty, lying, cheating, deceit, betrayal, drama, money, power, respect—and back-breaking, limitless, raw and uncut sex—these five childhood friends experience it all. There will be no holding back, no biting of the tongue, and best believe the gloves are coming off when the single ladies take you through the everyday life of living as a female in the hood. Expect everything . . . but boredom!

Blake Karrington is more than an author. He's a storyteller who places his readers in action-filled moments. It's in these creative spaces that readers are allowed to get to know his complex characters as if they're really alive. Likening him to a bad-boy gone good, readers see a storyteller who writes as if he's lived in the worlds he generously shares, readily conveying his message that humanity is everywhere, especially in the unlikely, mean streets of cities like Charlotte.
