About the Book
Title: Love and Happiness
Author: Ben Burgess Jr.
Genre: African-American romance
Karen has it all: a handsome husband,
beautiful twin daughters, a lovely home and a great job. Karen also has a
secret; she’s cheating on her husband, with not one man, but two.
On the outside her life seems perfect,
but on the inside Karen feels neglected, bored and unappreciated.
Yearning for affection and excitement, she falls into the arms of first
Raheem and then Tyrell. Out of fear of losing her husband and breaking
up her family, Karen ends the affairs but things don’t turn out how she
planned. When Karen’s dirty secrets are revealed she must fight to keep
her family together.
Chris is doing all he can to hold his
marriage together. He loves Karen but she grows more distant every day.
When she starts coming home later and later, he suspects she is being
unfaithful. When Chris accidentally takes her cell phone what he finds
changes their lives forever.
When tragedy strikes, Karen must decide
if she should sacrifice her happiness for her husband’s love, and Chris
wonders if he should stay with Karen because he still loves her despite
her infidelity. But if they do stay together, will they ever find love
and happiness again?
Sexy and relatable, insightful and
inspiring, Love and Happiness shows us both sides of Chris and Karen’s
story, and reminds us that sometimes to have it all, you must first lose
it all.
