Book Spotlights: The Great Betrayal & The Great Pretender by Millenia Black and Giveaway!

March 8th, 2011

I am very excited to spotlight my friend and author Millenia Black’s novels The Great Betrayal and The Great Pretender. I belong to a book club called The Reading Cove with Millenia and that’s where I originally met her last year. She has recently brought down the eBook price on her two novels to .99 on Amazon so I thought it would be great to spotlight them and make people aware of this and get the word out there! Stay tuned at the end of the post for the great Giveaway as well!

The Great Betrayal by Millenia Black (About the Book from Amazon.com)


By all appearances, the Cavanaughs of West Palm have an ideal marriage and family life-the perfect home with few complications. Leslie, the beautiful mother, shines brightly in corporate America. Her adoring husband, Luke, is movie-star handsome and an award-winning architect. Their privileged daughter, Kathryn, enjoys the best that life has to offer.

But castles built on sand are eventually washed away by the sea.

Leslie Cavanaugh is not who she claims to be-she’s a woman with a painful secret that’s about to shake the entire family to its core. And she’s not the only one playing a game of deception. Her daughter is risking more than the family’s good name with her search for love and attention in all the wrong places, and Leslie finds the unmistakable clues that her husband is having an affair. As she struggles to hold her family together, nothing can prepare her for the most intimate betrayal of all.

The Great Pretender by Millenia Black (About the Book from Amazon.com)


ONE MAN… TWO LIVES…

For over six years, Reginald Brooks pulled it off: Having two families, leading two lives. Now, pretending must stop. But how?

THE GREAT PRETENDER…an electrifying tale of how one man’s attempt to untangle his life sets a full-fledged arena of husband against wife, lover against lover, friend against friend, and family against family. Once you begin this engaging tale, you witness how a decision to pretend ricochets through the lives of several people. For some, escape is the only solution…

Reginald Brooks—a polished marketing VP who shrewdly built a dual life around his work. But without warning, that life begins to come apart at the seams and Reginald makes a decision that could threaten his very future, and the lives of those he loves most…

Tracy Brooks—Reginald’s wife of nearly 20 years. While the cat’s away…She’s got secrets of her own to protect…

Renee Jameson—the younger woman with the killer body who managed to turn Reginald’s head long enough to become pregnant…

Franklin Bevins—a UPS executive and Reginald’s best friend since the carefree days of childhood. Reggie has never made a life-changing decision without Frank’s input; a practice they may soon live to regret…

Olivia Brooks—Reginald and Tracy’s eldest daughter. Family isn’t very high on Olivia’s list of priorities. Primarily focused on a man, Olivia seems nonchalant about the changes in her family’s life until a shocking demand gets her full attention…

Valerie Brooks—the younger of Reggie and Tracy’s two daughters. A curious teen on the verge of adulthood when a hard knock lesson brings her questionable habits to a screeching halt.

From the plush streets of Miami to the glamour of New York City, follow the families of Reginald Brooks as their lives of sex, love, hate and surprise unfold to an agonizing climax! This debut novel by Millenia Black is anticipated to spark a tantalizing blend of emotions, and may even leave you wondering if perhaps you know someone who might be…THE GREAT PRETENDER.
