Three African American Women Contemplate their Love Lives

Oak Lawn, IL (PRWeb) January 22, 2007 -- Carol Ann Culbert Johnson releases her highly anticipated novel "Torn Between Two Lovers" (ISBN 978-1430300823, Lulu.com, 2006). A hopeless romantic since the nine grade, Johnson spent her free time reading Harlequin Romances, and Black Romance Magazine, and now at forty-four, there isn't a day that passes without a romance novel in her hand.

Johnson's forth novel trails Candy Thomas and her best friends Helen and Lisa. Candy is overweight yet confident, and her romantic heart believes there is a soul mate out there for everyone. She's in love with Mace James, but when he takes their relationship for granted, she begins to question it. She meets Jordan Hayes, a new white attorney at her law firm, and the sparks between them are evident. She ultimately is left with choosing between Mace and Jordan - will she give in to pure sexual desire and lose the one man she thought she was meant to be with?

Helen has the man every woman dreams of, handsome and rich, and a means to the life she always wanted. She has been with her husband for years and loves being a mother to her two kids, but having to turn her head and dismiss her husband's affairs has left her bitter and angry. She contemplates whether she is strong enough to walk away and leave her life of luxury. Will she become the lonely, overweight wife left behind? Will her friends support her and help her stay strong? She vows to never let herself love again…

Lisa is the woman every man dreams about. Unlike her two best friends, she's hot and sexy and knows it. An actress, she loves to play the field, bedding man after man to get what she wants in life. Lisa would never think of marriage, but would the right man change that? She faces sabotaging the only relationship she has worth keeping to sleep around and end up pregnant by another man. Being a mother is not in her plan. Will this dramatic life change the reality check she needed?

"Torn Between Two Lovers" is an exciting and romantic story of love that will leave readers secretly wishing for a certain outcome, but surprised at the ending. Candy, Helen, and Lisa offer each other their unconditional support as they each love and lose love, experience pain and joy, and learn to accept themselves, whatever size. These women laugh and cry, and clearly express the inner strength of every woman.

Carol Ann Culbert Johnson resides in Oak Lawn, IL. Johnson's passion is reading and writing. She has written three previous novels - "I Confess," a collection of twenty-two short stories about modern romance, "Rejection," about an unconditional love, and "Articles for the Soul," a self-help book on everyday issues. "Torn Between Two Lovers" (ISBN 978-1430300823, Lulu.com, 2006) can be purchased at online bookstores, or visit www.carolannjohnson.net
