Hi, No Labels Unleashed, part of The Review Board. I am posting on behalf of fellow board member Mr. Controversy regarding his views on your book. For the extended (full version) of the review, please come to this link: http://wp.me/p30Uww-7w
Avid Reader Review stated that, “Sylvia Hubbard is one of the best Authors I’ve ever read!”
Seeing this statement on the front cover of her book got me thinking, “Hmmm. Let’s see if this statement is true….”
I haven’t read her other works as far as the characters, yet I was able to keep score as far as the characters in this short novella which I completed in about two and a half hours. Also, I am happy that she lets the readers know up front of the revisions that she has made to this story.
The story’s first two paragraphs got me hooked INSTANTLY! It completely sets the mood for what was about to unfold. Ms. Hubbard has a way of describing characters, what they are doing, and their facial expressions in her story has kept me turning the pages to see what happened next.
“Love Like This” reads like a “D” Movie on Cinemax where unknown actors can successfully raise the Believability of the story to an excellent level.
Allow me to be PERFECTLY CLEAR: This is NOT a bad thing at all! Several movies with unknown actors have indeed gained credibility in the movie industry. Ms. Hubbard’s “Love Like This” has GREAT POTENTIAL to be made into a Premium Cable Channel movie. This is one of those stories that WILL NOT be shown on Lifetime.
Despite Ms. Hubbard informing her readers that there were revisions made to “Love Like This”, there are still a few errors (I.E.: Bryon vs. Byron at the start of Chapter 2, sentence structure, few grammatical errors). Also, some of the dialogue between the characters in several paragraphs was jumbled together, causing a bit of confusion (TO ME). However, if the reader(s) follow closely with what is/was discussed between the characters, this can be overlooked.
Ms. Sylvia Hubbard has a vivid imagination, and can tell a very good and solid story. Ms. Hubbard shows not only promise, she also shows dedication to what she does in her writing abilities. As long as she has an extra set of eyes on her artwork to keep uniformity and errors to a minimum, she will continue to go far in her writing.
Pick up “Love Like This” for a shocker of a great time!… (mehr)

I wanted to like this book far more than I did, some of my issues were a matter of personal taste, others were construct related.
As a quick read, this book works, mostly. Not having read the first stories that lead in, the prologue was a good starter but still left some of the pieces missing, and sadly I couldn’t engage with the characters or story enough to feel they were filled in.
The book could have used another round of editing, several poor word choices, grammatical errors and typos, which ordinarily I can ignore when the story is engaging, only served to reinforce the disconnect I had with the story. I really did want to like this book far more, the author is portraying story with several characters that are not always well represented in current fiction, not to mention erotica, and this book does reach the readers that are not fans of more typical urban fiction. Sadly, I couldn’t find a way to connect to the characters, or lose myself in the story as it unfolded: a rare occurrence for me. It should not deter you from this author’s work; her style is smooth and very conversational, with a talent for connecting to readers that is, I feel, underrepresented in this particular work.
I received an eBook copy from author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility… (mehr)

Review:
"Road To Freedom: Journey To Love" by Sylvia Hubbard
My Rationalization:
A very well-written intriguing story that will keep your attention as you are turning the pages to see what was coming next on this 'Road To Freedom: Journey To Love.' The characters were all somewhat complexed in what was going on in this story from that horrible stepfather that brought out so much havoc to his family. Be ready for a read of lots of 'manipulation, greed, and love.'… (mehr)
