It seems like every time you want to do right, the devil makes it so easy for you to do wrong Darrel was once a smooth talking ladies’ man that hopped from bedroom to bedroom on a nightly basis and didn't give a second thought to breaking any woman's heart. All of that changed when he thought he’d met the woman of his dreams, sexy model, Brandi Brown. He quickly finds out what comes around goes around the hard way when he discovers his new bride under the sheets grinding it out with another man. After the deception of his new bride Darrel attempts to take on a new leaf and play the role of the good guy for once, but after a few dangerous encounters from someone lurking in the shadows, it becomes apparent his ratchet past may not let him. Single Again is loaded with enough drama to make your head spin. Rod Cornelius is also the author of the urban books Diggin’ Gold, Ghetto Eyes and Ugly 298 Pages Single Again is a lightearted, yet serious, romp through about a year's duration in the life of a young Atlanta man, Darrel Walker. Darrel has been a player since he was old enough to know the meaning of the term, as has Rex, his best buddy since childhood. Darrel is a skilled love-em-and- leave-em man, cutting his swath through the clubs, until one night he meets a woman he can't play. Instead, model Brandi Brown plays him. A short courtship in which the body rules the heart, and a shorter marriage follows, till Darrel finds Brandi in their marital bed--with company. That's the end of the marriage for Darrel, but not for Brandi, who continues to taunt him. After a few months of isolation, he's willing to try the scene again, and once again finds a woman who's on the edge of being psychotic. Eventually Darrel determines to find the right woman, one whom he can actually love, for life. His progress to that path is heartwrenching; but finally, ex-player Darrel is determined to keep to the right path. Author Rod Cornelius keeps his readers alternating between smiling and chuckling, nodding our heads in agreement, and tugging at our heartstrings over the sad moves Darrel goes through in his path to true love. His characters are well-developed and the plot races along. Even the unlikable characters get their turn in the sun for character delineation. Single Again is well worth reading, and this reviewer is looking forward to the next novel from Rod Cornelius. ----Annie Haws of Euro-Reviews 1/2007-5 STAR EXCELLENT --Annie Haws of Euro Reviews Single Again-Explosively taking a man from 'pimping' to true love in one fatal dose of laughter! -- Akirim Press
