“Fresh…and sassy, Poole captures the essence of Kayla, Nicki, and Yaz to a tee.” --RT Book Reviews Sassy and savvy Kayla Johnson is a serious college student at Philadelphia’s Temple University. She’s also a fine-looking woman, with ginger-colored skin and more curves than the Liberty Bell. But if Kayla’s all that, how come she can’t find a man worthy of her charms? When Kayla sets off on a manhunt for Mr. Right, she finds herself hooking up with every hustler, nut, and fast-talking player in Philadelphia. There’s Emar, the basketball hotshot who makes his best moves off-court; handsome Terry, who gets downright scary during a weekend in Jersey; and Reese, who’d be da bomb if he’d only drop his white girlfriend. But it’s Kayla’s relationship with smooth and sexy Wil that really rocks her world and teaches her how to fight for a man—and for her own independence. Because love doesn’t get truly crazy until it’s the real thing…and the only people who don’t get played are the ones who stay out of the game… Praise for the novels of Daaimah S. Poole “A definite must read." --Candice Dow on Somebody Else’s Man “Colorful … if you love scandal, this is the book for you!” --Anna J on A Rich Man’s Baby “Thought-provoking…Poole garners interest with strong, unpredictable characters.” --RT Book Reviews on Ex-Girl to the Next Girl

Daaimah S. Poole, bestselling author of the hot and hilarious Yo Yo Love, is back with another wildly entertaining tale of colliding hearts and hard truths about the bumpy--but never boring--road to love. . . Got A Man Twenty-six-year-old Kimberly Vanessa Brown is no ordinary single mom. Pregnant with her second child, she's got a career, a college degree--and enough common sense to know that her boyfriend, Malik, may not be ready for fatherhood. But when Malik surprises her with a marriage proposal, it seems that Kim's got her man for the long haul. Or does she? Despite his honorable intentions, Malik can't seem to stay clear of other women. When Shonda Robinson, the shapely new receptionist at the law firm where Malik works as a paralegal, comes on strong to him, his resolve finally crumbles, along with his heart--and his future plans. Shonda may not be the most moral--or discreet--person around, but she knows a good thing when she's got it. That good thing is her love for Malik, and she intends to keep it at all costs. Unfortunately, she's not the only who feels that way. What follows is an emotional roller coaster ride of changing plans, changing partners--and a surprising change of heart--as three people wrestle with what's right, what's wrong--and what's real.
