REVIEW: Sasha
Diamond is a registered nurse who has a problem picking the right guy. She also
has an overbearing and needy best friend, Tiara, who does not have her best
interests at heart. Sexton Johnson is an up and coming NBA star and it’s love at
first sight when he meets Sasha at a party, but Sasha is uninterested. When the
two meet again one morning after she has an argument with her boyfriend, their
attraction to one another is intense. When they finally get together, Sasha
keeps allowing doubt, fear, and her best friend get in the way. Will Sasha
conquer her fears and doubts or will she chose her best friend over the love of
a lifetime?
Sasha’s character is smart, independent, caring, and prone to making snap
judgments without thinking of the consequences. I like this character, but her
behavior began to get on my nerves as she continued to allow herself to be drawn
back into Tiara’s mess even though she knew it was time to cut the ties.
Sexton’s character is down to earth, caring and extremely patient. I don’t know
of too many men who would have put up with Sasha or Tiara’s mess as long as he
did. Sasha really had some growing up to do and I’m glad that she was able to
realize her mistakes, with a little help from her sisters, and accept
responsibility for her actions. I liked the fact that Sexton was able allow
Sasha to make her mistakes and in time forgive her.
MOMENTS OF CLARITY is a moderately paced story of love and betrayal that
is set in New York. I love the way Ms. Cameron has Sasha’s character deal with
her cheating boy friend without a lot of unnecessary drama, and how she
eventually handled the demise of Sasha and Tiara’s relationship. The characters
all had enough internal and external relationship drama to keep this story
interesting and moving.
Ms. Cameron’s sequel to NEVER SAY NEVER is an entertaining read. I
recommend it.
