Two Lips Reviews

Rating:
Heat Level:

Jazmine Lovall wants to find the perfect man, someone like her stepfather, a man who will love her for herself and not for what she can do for him. She’s not proud of it, but she will do almost anything for a scrap of love and affection. Jaz’s search for love leads her through numerous boyfriends, casual encounters and even a lesbian affair but nothing feels right and she often finds the sex is nothing special. By chance, Jaz hooks up with an old friend from high school days and thinks she has finally found the man she’s been looking for all her life. He comes, however, with his own complications in the form of a jealous ex-girlfriend and baby daughter. Trying to work things out with his ex, his baby, her own ex, and her baby becomes more difficult than she ever imagined. Jaz has a rocky road to travel before everything finally works out in the end.



According to the acknowledgements at the end of I Found One, this story is based on author Jakeshia Lewis’ own life and is something she’s long wanted to write. I applaud her perseverance in writing it and managing to get it published with a POD publisher but I wish more time had been spent on polishing the craft of writing. The storyline has promise but the grammatical errors are too numerous to list and greatly distracting from the plot. The story is also rife with punctuation errors. I Found One is basically a gritty, inner-city, chick lit story with a HEA. If the coarse language and the fact that the dialogue all runs together does not put you off, you will find a story of one woman’s successful search to find true love.
