Cheaters Was Good 
Cheaters was good I recommend it. It was funny the story line was good. The charters were real. It was good, I read it in three days!!!
The book that inspired me to read!!!
This was the first romantic novel I've ever read. My suite mate was so dedicated to the book, she missed class for two days. When she finished she handed it over into my hands. I read it, loved it. Later, I purchased my own copy. I lended it out to a friend and she never gave it back. I purchased another one about three weeks ago, just to have in my possession. There's so much cheating in this book, it pisses me off. But it's extremely realistic. I loved all the characters even though some of them pissed me off. I felt their struggles and wanted them to overcome in the end. If you like to read about betrayal, deception, selfishness, and sex, then this is the book for you. It puts you in the mood to make love, so don't say I didn't warn you...smile.
my first time reading eric jerome dickey 
This book is the story of a group of male and female
friends that are struggling in their mid-twenties to
define themselves in careers, friendships and relationships.
The main focus of the story though seems to be on Chante,
a black woman with too much attitude. I know that there
are SOME women out there like that but it would have been
nice to show her as two-dimensional and perhaps even vulnerable
without the layers of baggage. That's my only gripe about
the book.
The ending was somewhat surprising and different. I liked that
I could not predict the ending.
Other than that, it was an enjoyable read and for this to
be my first time reading an Eric Jerome Dickey book, my
hat goes off to him.
Entertaining read...but incredibly long
3.5 stars. ****spoilers***
For the most part I found this story to be entertaining, but in all honesty he could have easily shaved 150-200 pages off this and I do agree that the ending left something to be desired. I, too, kept waiting for Toyomi's to slam Stephen with the ultimate pay back. A lot of material felt like filler-like the whole hooking up with Nicole and Perri scene and didn't really see the point of the dreams for Jake. It just seemed like extra. Chante hooking back up with Thaiheed or whatever... But EJD does have a gift for dialogue and even character development because you clearly see everyone in your mind. I can't believe that Stephen kept frontin' on his boy Darnell after all the mess he had going and after Dawn fronted on his own girl Chante at the family BBQ. Tammy's ghetto family had me in stitches. "Somebody get me my damn pants!" Classic. I applaud Darnell for not cheating on his wife before Tammy left, but thought he took the coward's way out on how he ultimately left. And that's saying something because I didn't like Dawn in the slightest. Overall, again this is an entertaining book, but I started feeling the long pages around pg 300.
reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
With his third book, Milk in My Coffee, Eric Jerome Dickey climbed the national charts, including the New York Times list, confirming the tremendous promise of his first two bestsellers Sister, Sister and Friends and Lovers. Cheaters is Dickey's sexy, sassy, and sharp-tongued new novel. Taking a dip into the Los Angeles singles scene, Dickey treats us to a totally uncensored, uninhibited, and outrageously entertaining adventure in seduction, betrayal, heartbreak, revenge, and oh-so-sweet true love. Laced with humor, filled with insight, and brimming with complex, honest emotions, Cheaters is Eric Jerome Dickey's most ambitious and irresistible novel yet.
