Never Say Never Review

Never Say Never

By: Victoria Christopher Murray

Never Say Never is a very appropriate title, because you never know what you will do when you are faced with difficult situations. Meet Miriam who has just lost her world; her husband Chauncey. Miriam doesn’t know which way is up when it comes to the recent death of her husband. But when a family friend steps to comfort her, things begin to get tangled. But oh, how tangled do they get. Is Miriam in love with Chauncey or is it just lust? What will happen when the secrets are revealed?

Never Say Never is an awesome read and it will have you wanting to know more from the first the first page. Victoria Christopher Murray has done an excellent job with this book. I truly believe this is the best that I have read by her. You will find lost, loyalty and betrayal all wrapped in here. Never Say Never is one of the best most exciting books I have read in a well.

When Miriam’s fireman husband, Chauncey, dies in a school fire, Miriam feels like her life is over. How is she going to raise her three children all by herself? How will she survive without the love of her life?

Luckily, Miriam’s sister-friend Emily—and Emily’s husband, Jamal—are there to comfort her. Jamal was Chauncey’s best friend and is happy to step in and help Miriam with the funeral and her children, and he gives her hope that she has a future. But all the time that they spend together—grieving, sharing, and reminiscing—brings the two closer in ways they never planned, and they soon find themselves in the
middle of a heated affair.

Lost in the fog of grief and lust, neither is even sure if their passionate affair is real. While Jamal is filled with guilt, sure that this new relationship is all about loss, Miriam believes that she is in love. But then, Emily finds out, and Emily and Jamal have to deal with this woman scorned—and her hunger for revenge. In this tangle of love, longing, and loyalty, can any of the relationships survive?

NEVER SAY NEVER is another fast-paced and compelling novel by Essence bestseller Victoria Christopher
