Darrin Lowery (1) (1968–)

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!! I WAS ACTUALLY VERY IMPRESSED AND SURPRISED BY THE WAY THE STORY WAS WRITTEN. I WAS CERTAIN THAT THE STORY WAS GOING TO READ LIKE ALL OTHER BOOKS WITH SIMILAR STORYLINES (OVER-WEIGHT WOMAN WITH LOW SELF-ESTEEM FALLS IN LOVE WITH MAN AND MAN BREAKS HER HEART CAUSE SHE IS TOO FAT, FAT WOMAN HATES HERSELF AND HAS A PITY PARTY, OVER EATS, CRYS BLAH, BLAH BLAH)BEING THAT I AM A PLUS SIZED WOMAN I WAS SO OVERJOYED AND TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY WITH HOW THE WRITER ALLOWED THE BIG GIRL TO FINALLY REPRESENT FOR ALL THE OTHER BIG GIRLS WHO HAVE EVER HURT BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE. I THINK THIS IS A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER HAD BODY ISSUES OR IF YOUR JUST LOOKING FOR A GOOD READ.… (meer)

A Tainted History

It's been five years since Korrie Dillon's live-in boyfriend, Darren Howard, left her. Although he abandoned her, Korrie's number hasn't changed, her address is still the same and her prayer has been that someday, someway, he returns and they live happily ever after.

While waiting, she meets Vaughn Harris, an African American multimillionaire. A kind man, Korrie is concerned about their age difference. As they continue to date, she finds herself falling for him. What happens when Darren shows up wanting a second chance at love?

"Second Time Around" by Darrin Lowery is just an okay read. I've read several of Darrin's titles and usually find myself going through his books rather quickly. Unfortunately, this one was extremely repetitive and could have just as easily been summed up in 200 pages or less. Some sub characters have very little to do with the story and readers will find themselves wondering what was the point. Some issues in editing.
