Where has this book been all my life? This is the first book that I've ever read by Ms.Hill and believe me, it will not be the last. I saw Intimate Betrayal on BET's Arabesque Nights and decided to read it. Boy, am I glad I did. The television show did not do it justice. Reese and Maxwell are people regular people, not people larger than life. There were several stories interwoven with the main story. The supporting characters enhanced the main characters by allowing us to look into the past without losing track of the present. I loved this book. It was one of the best books I've ever read. Reading it made me nervous. I just couldn't seem to read it fast enough. I plan to read every novel that I can find by Donna Hill. Thanks again, Ms. Hill for a truly wonderful book.
