About the Author:
Andrea' Porter, a mother of three, believes in love. She penned Love is All We're After following her divorce, as a way of reminding herself and others that love comes to us all-when we wait for God's divine will. Love is All We're After is her first novel. Andrea' Porter has written two more novels. Second Chance At Love, which is a sequel to her first novel and To Hell With Love, which is a spin off from the previous two novels.
Review:
Hailed one of the best read by Beaumont Journal, Hardin County newspaper, The Enterprise. --Beaumont Journalist Lluvia Luz Rueda
True love is all that most of us are after. The movie He's Just Not That Into You is about five women who are seeking Mr. Right, sometimes in the wrong places, but hope in the happily ever after keeps them alive inspite of the lies that they have been sold over the years. Ms. Porter s book is somewhat similar in that there are three African-American women seeking love from their often elusive Black Knights in Shining Armor. Mona, Candy, and Lisa meet in college and have been friends ever since. They are all successful professional women with the right bank accounts and figures to match. They would make any brother sit up and take notice, if only he wasn't so distracted by the next skirt that passes by him. Lisa, a successful attorney is married to her college sweetheart, who Mona is secretly having an affair with. After all she saw him first, and even though he married Lisa, that doesn't mean He doesn't love her or does it? Candy is the sweet one in the bunch who is trying to live a life of celibacy because of her new found faith, but temptation keeps knocking at her door. All this and trying to maintain a friendship takes a toll on their lives. Love is All We're After can easily be the real life script of any sister that s seeking love. Let's bring it on home, there are women in Houston who can step into the pages of this book and not miss a beat. Sex, mystery, intrigue, and lots of drama make this book a good read. Ms. Porter does an excellent job for a first time author in establishing a solid plot and captivating her reader. It is evident that she was growing spiritually in the midst of penning this novel. Most of the book comes from her own personal experiences and pictures her spiritual transition. She had a White Knight in Shining Armor who motivated the book. When the fairy tale didn't come true in her first marriage, rather than allowing the bitterness of a failed union turn into hate, she sought God and redirected that energy into writing her first novel. This single mother of three is currently working on her fourth novel. Talking about a happy ending, perhaps in the sequel our three ladies in waiting will do so also. A girl can still hope can't she? Run, not walk, to your local book store and get a copy. It'll be worth the read. ----Sharon Jenkins Freelance Writer
