REVIEW:
D’Andra
Smalls is an overweight nurse who is trying to turn her life around; starting
with losing weight. JaJuan “Night” Simmons is a personal trainer who is
determined to open his own gym. D’Andra and Night are both focused on themselves
and their present goals in life. As they grow closer to each other, neither can
deny the strong attraction between them and it is just a matter of time before
they fall in love.
D’Andra has spent her entire life feeling as if she were born to be her mother’s
personal slave while her younger sister is the sparkle in their mothers’ eye. As
a result she feels as if there is a vital part of her missing and she believes
that the key is in her father; the man her mother refuses to tell her anything
about. Night has always dreamed of owning his own gym but the closer he gets to
seeing his dream come to fruition, the more obstacles come in his way. As Night
helps D’Andra lose weight and tone her body, they realize that some things won’t
be denied regardless of if they fit in your present plans or not.
The dialogue in the story is very intriguing. Zuri Day makes sure that the
conversations between the characters flow smoothly and are relevant to the
story. She also takes the time to provide the reader with health related
information that allows the reader to become more informed of pertinent issues
that are facing our community.
BODY BY NIGHT
takes place in California which provides a nice backdrop for the couple and
their story.
Ms. Day has done an excellent job with her second romance novel, writing story
novel that is not only intriguing but informative as well. If her future work is
anything like BODY BY NIGHT,
Zuri Day is definitely a new up and coming artist that you don’t want to sleep
on.
