Vincent Calvary Browne, Jr. is a Negro Black Man trying to date after divorce. His ex-wife cheated. Adding insult to injury, she left him taking their three year old daughter out of the country. Baggage, baggage, baggage. Dana Ann Smith is a single woman trying to land on her feet in Los Angeles after leaving heavy debts and an even heavier romance in New York. Baggage, baggage, baggage. When Vince and Dana meet they are immediately attracted to one another. They seem like the perfect fit. However, in an effort to present their best selves to one another they hide their secrets under a pile of lies and more lies. Sooner or later, those lies start to reveal themselves as the couple gets more and more involved and Dana’s ex arrives from New York. Can Dana see beyond Vince’s lie about never being married or having children? Can she respect him as a father with an ex-wife? Can Vince hear Dana over the warning bells about her debt? Can he trust she is truly over her rich and hunky ex? What makes Liar’s Game so much fun is the varying perspectives of the same story. As the saying goes, there are are always three sides to every story: his side, her side, and the truth. Dickey gives us all three.
A word of warning - the writing is a little dated. In today's society, I don’t think many people would consider a cell phone a piece of technology for players. ( )

Eric Jerome Dickey's latest book is true of relationships between not only african-americans, but all people. I just finished reading his last book "Cheaters" when I decided to read this book. Needless to say, I finished the book having gained an new insight into relationships.The two main characters of the book are very realistic and well-written. Both are people who although they have secrets from the past, chose to not tell each other for fear of what will happen. This is so true, especially when someone tries to date. Although the person will say that they are single, who knows what happened in their past that they aren't telling you?Throughout the book,Dickey writes from both the perspective of the man and woman.What impresses me is that he isn't stereotypical at all when he writes from either perspective. He doesn't assume that because he's writing as a woman that she's supposed to act a certain way nor doesn't he do the same with the man.This is a book that you should read if you want to gain new insight into relationships.Also, you should read this if you want to see how to write a story from the point of view of a man or female.If you'd like to read more from this author, you should read Cheaters.

This one was ok. Didn't love it. Hated how the main character got abused by his ex. ( )
