Real For Me is a REAL treat!!!
Glover should be on cloud nine. She's beautiful, intelligent, has great friends, and is engaged to a sexy, successful brother that tends to her needs but she feels empty, and wonders if her relationship is just following logical steps...and not the steps that her heart feels need to be made. When she meets Maxwell, a brother new to California, who is looking for something better in his life, Glover finds herself confused all the more as she is forced to look into herself to see what she truly wants, what will make her happy.

Real for Me is a great debut novel by Eric Pete. I read the book in one sitting, and found myself totally engaged with the characters and wrapped up in the plotline. The dialogue was real and sharp, and Pete did a great job in fleshing out the main characters and giving them individual voices and quirks. I really enjoyed this novel and especially the characters (Glover's best friends are a treat), and would definitely recommend this novel.....

REAL FOR ME IS "REAL FOR ME"
i thoroughly enjoyed this book. it captures the same realness as a eric j dicky book. the characters are so thought out. each one has there own personality. reading this book made me feel that i was a part of the story line.i couldn't put it down, the plot flowed evenly till where i couldn't wait to find out the outcome. the author really took his time with the process. i loved the way he gave the characters there own little chapters for the reader to see what each person felt about the same event. what i also liked was how the author used things from his life in his book such as the college and church he use to attended. that shows that the author uses some truth to his book i recommand every one to read this book because i feel this author will be around for a long time

Real For Me is a must read
This book was fantastic. As a Louisiana native with California connections, I thought it was very authentic and well researched. The characters and dialogue were engaging, and I loved the story. This is truly a sleeper hit. When people find this book they will find a gem. Mr. Pete is a terrific writer and I look forward to his next book.

A Good Read but not all that I expected
Someone's in the Kitchen was a good read .

It's just not quite all that I had expected.

Having read the first three pages the first chapter had me running to get this book ! It felt like a 5* plus read all the way .

While Eric did not get back to that part of the story until the last page which have be some what disappointed.

I did enjoy taking a peek at the lives of Reggie and Neal two close friends and the friendship of their deceased friends sister.

Reggie crossed the line twice which cost him a lot in the end.
Maybe there was a great lesson he learned a little to late.

Good story good read just not quite what I thought 3.8 * in my opinon .

Just Enough Spice
I enjoyed "Someone's in the Kitchen" by Eric E. Pete. The main focus of the story is Reggie and Neal who are close friends. They both live in Houston, TX. Reggie is a ladies man, or a "dawg" who is afraid of commitment. Neal is a married man who loves his wife, but his marriage is in trouble. The book opens with a scene that is supposed to give the reader some insight as to why Reggie treats women the way that he does. The author's minor characters are well drawn and interesting. Lila, MeMe, and Shanita are not the stereotypical women characters that you find in most relationship novels. I enjoyed the insight on the friendship between Neal and Reggie. The story kept moving, but toward the end a betrayal takes place that I did not see coming. After that, the ending is kind of rushed. I am looking forward to reading Eric E. Pete's first book, and coming novels. This is a four star novel.

WOW! Awesome,Gripping,Edgy Can't put it down reading
WOW!! what a breezy, awesome and gripping book to read. Eric Pete has done it again and you won't be disappointed. If you haven't read this one, you're in for a delightful and edgy treat. Eric chose a colorful mix of characters for this book, that you won't soon forget. The book is centered around Houston and New Orleans and tells the story of two bestfriends, Reggie Collins and Neal Wallace and all the drama that comes with being an adult, single, married, being a man, etc.. Other characters you won't soon forget include, Shenita, Me-Me, Trina, Mr. Wallace(Neal's dad),Kelly,Lila and Loretta. I won't give the book away for those still looking and eager to read it. Once you start it though, you won't be able to put it down. The Sistah Circle Book Club(Dallas, Houston, New York and Denver) choose, Someone's in The Kitchen as it's chapter-wide selection and it won rave reviews across the board with all of us. I can't wait to share my copy and buy more for my family/friends back home(Detroit)Continued blessings and success ...
