A woman lets herself go and finally does something wrong. Down on his luck, a man tries to do something right. For both, the consequences are as surprising as they are rewarding in two tales of lost souls by two rising stars in contemporary African-American fiction."Nightmare in Paradise" by Mary MonroeGood-looking and as dutiful a wife as she is a devoted friend, reserved and respectful Renee Webb always does the right thing. So when she gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to let her hair down on a Caribbean vacation with her uninhibited friend Inez, Renee is more than ready to let go. But the sun-splashed isle of Paraiso is not what it seems, and Renee finds out that doing the wrong thing--a sizzling night of pleasure with a sexy stranger--might cost her more than she ever imagined. . . "Bad Luck Shadow" by Victor McGlothinBad luck's been shadowing handsome Baltimore Floyd ever since he hopped a train out of New York City.

Alone and on the lam, Baltimore's got only one shot to get out alive--the biggest heist in KC's history. Lucky for him, Henry Taylor's got his back, and he'll have to use every trick he knows to save Baltimore from going down for good. . .

Borrow Trouble: "Nightmare in Paradise" AND "Bad Luck Shadow", by Victor Mcglothin, Mary Monroe

From Publishers Weekly Monroe (God Don't Like Ugly) and McGlothin (Down on My Knees) each contribute a short novel to this curiously packaged product. Monroe's Nightmare in Paradise features 31-year-old Renee, a second grade teacher and self-proclaimed "Miss Goody Two-Shoes" who, with wild best friend Inez, goes to the Caribbean to "get loose." Frustration with her own meek nature and an admission by Inez—she slept with Renee's husband before they married—propel Renee into a one-night stand that results in her arrest for prostitution. When husband Leon won't pony up the fine, Renee is jailed for three months—plenty of time to decide who stays in her life. Monroe's earnest melodrama suffers, however, from its proximity to McGlothin's dazzling Bad Luck Shadow. Set in 1946, the story's hero is Baltimore Floyd, a dashing scoundrel with charisma to burn. Fleeing Harlem and a gambling debt, Baltimore steals into a neon-lit Kansas City, where he holes up in old love Franchetta's cathouse and plans the takedown of a high-stakes card game. McGlothin's tale is sophisticated and sexy, with the plotting and pacing of first-rate noir. If cross-promotion is the impetus for this project, Monroe may earn a few new readers, but McGlothin's fan base is sure to swell. (Dec.)

By Miss iNDy I thought this would be a story written together by both authors, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was 2 seperate stories. I really really enjoyed Victor's story. His characters were well developed in this short story. The writing style was excellent. Mary Monroe did a better job in this short story than she did in both "In Sheep's Clothing" & "Red Light Wives" put together!

By Books2Mention Magazine "Borrow Trouble is a perfect blend of two amazing stories by two talented authors.""A Nightmare In Paris by Mary Monroe is just that for Renee Webb who dares to take a trip of a lifetime with her best friend Inez. Renee decides to take this trip to bring some change into her life. However, the change that comes about is not what she anticipated. Ultimately, Renee learns a secret and is devastated. She seeks solace but ends up in more trouble than she can get out of.""Bad Luck Shadow by Victor McGlothin is just that for Baltimore Floyd. A debonair man that has a way with women and a reputation that tends to follow him. He also has a knack for getting into sticky situations, but manages to come out on top every time.""With the help of some friends and acquaintances he plots a heist that could very well be the biggest he's ever pulled off.""Nightmare In Paris and Bad Luck Shadow are both enticing reads that will engross readers."

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Borrow Trouble Indeed! By R. A Rippy Mary Monroe's story 'Nightmare in Paradise' will have you saying 'What looks good to you is not always good for you' and this story definitely fits that description! Great story but her stories always are!Victor McGlothin's story 'Bad Luck Shadow' takes you back in time when pimps were pimps and hustlers were hustlers! You will fall in love with Baltimore Floyd because despite the hustles that he pulls, you will find that he has a kind heart. Victor took us in a different direction with this story if you have read his previous books and he did it in style! Another great story by Victor McGlothin!
