About The Book
When O'shay
London met Sanaa Holland, it was an instant attraction. They dated for a while
and found themselves in love with each other. Finalizing their romance by tying
the knot, O'shay and Sanaa found things between them starting to fall apart
soon enough - happiness and fulfillment were replaced by grief and bitterness.
As the couple grapples with the circumstances that change their lives forever,
the question of what truly bonded them arose... LOVE, LUST or OBSESSION?
Excerpt
Sanaa sat
in the dressing room of the breathtakingly beautiful Crystal Ballroom in Metro
West,
Orlando, Florida. The wedding area was adorned with eighteen dimming
chandeliers, pipe and drape backdrops with up lights, Silver Chiavari chairs,
high top tables, ivory linens, gorgeous aqua and silver floral arrangements,
aqua candles, candelabras, and ceiling drapery. She still couldn't believe her
wedding day had finally arrived. She had told her bridesmaids and her maid of
honor to give her a minute to herself. Lana, Tasha, Renee, Niki, and her best
friend, Bria, had been her girls since their early college days. She couldn't
imagine this day without them. After Bria had finished applying the finishing
touches to Sanaa's make-up, the ladies left the room and quietly closed the
door behind them.
Sanaa
stared at her reflection in the mirror as she reminisced about first meeting
O'shay. They were both college students at the time. He was studying at the
University of Central Florida, working towards a degree in Aircraft
Engineering. He had wanted to someday become a pilot and Sanaa was studying
Criminal Justice at Keiser University. She aspired to be a criminal defense
attorney. They were at Starbucks, both of them cramming for midterms. Sanaa
tried not to stare when he walked through the door, but he was so handsome, he
literally took her breath away. She noticed him watching her too. He appeared
to be somewhat shy, and that's always a turn-on.
After a
while, they both got up to leave at the same time and as fate would have it,
they bumped into one another. They struck up a conversation and before parting,
exchanged phone numbers and made plans to hook up. They were inseparable from
that day forward. Now five years later, they both have promising careers and
big dreams for their future. They were about to become husband and wife.

Review:
"O'Shay & Sanaa" by J. Brinkley
My Rationalization:
I will say this was quite some read because I thought this was about a true romance of O'shay and Sanaa. However, what started out as a sweet romance didn't end up quite that way. I think the first clue was when Sanaa's father had questions about O'shay and his father who was in prison. I am sure there may have been other clues to what was really going on with O'shay but this author did a good job with hiding them. I did find it somewhat interesting that he [O'shay] didn't want to talk about his father even to Sanaa. Yes, there 'happiness and fulfillment were definitely been replace by grief and bitterness.' Was this a marriage of "Love, Lust or Obsession" well definitely not love because true love doesn't act like this! Definitely, something was going on with O'shay because by the end of this story it was evident that he needed help. We are left with a cliffhanger wondering will Sanaa be OK. So, until then we will have to wait and see if the craziness of O'shay will be revealed to why he acted so horribly to Sanaa whom she was supposed to be the love of his life.
