Bestselling author Travis Hunter returns with a stunning new novel about family, success, and just how far a man will go to protect those he loves.
Dallas Dupree is a one woman man. A handsome and successful teacher, he is both worshipped and envied in his Atlanta neighborhood and chooses to live and raise his daughter, Aja, in the ghetto where he grew up rather than desert his roots. The only problem is that the one woman for him—his beloved Yasmin—passed away giving birth to his daughter. Now Dallas struggles through a string of empty relationships, unable to commit his heart because no woman can measure up to Yasmin. However, when Dallas plays with the wrong woman, he finds the consequences may cost him much more than he can afford.
Dallas’s sister Carmen has issues of her own. All of her life she has struggled with a weight problem that had caused a lack of self esteem. Now she is an affluent doctor who lives in the suburbs with her handsome new husband, Sterling. When a family crisis forces her to take in her wayward niece, she realizes that the picture perfect world she worked so hard to create is an illusion.
Their older brother, Priest, is pretty secretive about how he makes his money—and he does make a lot of it. He has been a father figure to both Dallas and Carmen, but now that they are all grown up, they want nothing to do with their shady older brother. But when Dallas and Carmen are in trouble, they turn to the one person who has always been there for them—and learn there is more to Priest than meets the eye. |

I read this book quickly, and had to force myself to put it down at night so I could get some sleep. This book is awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Travis Hunter has this way of writing that makes you really feel the characters, you will like some, dislike others, and you may find yourself talking to the pages like I was. There are some parts of this book that have touches of humor that will make you laugh out loud.
The story centers around three siblings. Dallas the handsome single father getting over the heartbreak of losing the one woman he really loved. He is a teacher, and gives his students the utmost attention, and is revered in his community. When he decides to go back into the dating scene, one night of going out will turn into a life changing drama.
His sister Carmen is a physician married to a low life. Problem is she is not aware of the problems her husband is brining to their life, and her world will be turned upside down when some information about her husband comes to light. She will be forced to make one of the most difficult decisions in her life.
Priest is the oldest, and he is the bad seed of the family. He is a former cop who is now doing exactly the very thing he was locking other people for. Selling drugs. Even though Dallas and Carmen do not agree with Priest choices, he is the very person they will have to turn to when their life troubles come to light.
Kameka is one of the characters that had me talking to the pages. She is a 16 year old who is not getting the love and attention from her mother, and she is making some choices that will have you screaming "Kameka nooooooooo". I wanted to craw through the pages to slap Kameka's mother. She was just sorry, sorry, and more sorry. All she did was sleep. I had no idea why being she never did anything!!! She did not have a job, so why was she so tired? I guess waking up and getting out of bed every morning wore her out.
The way Bruce answered the phone "Who dis." No home training, none!!!!
"Once I reached into my pocket and stopped cheating Gawd, I went from a Hyndai to a Cadillac." After I read that all I could was laugh and shake my head. I've heard that before!!!
"Sassy stood a full seven feet two inches tall. He weighed three hundred and fifty pound and he was proud to be homosexual." I laughed too hard reading this description.
The book is so good I actually shed tears during one part. I cried real tears. When an author can make me react to the point I have to reach for tissue, then you have some good reading!!! It's not often I will cry reading a book.
I highly recommend this book and his other book Trouble Man. You will not be disappointed!! I thought I enjoyed Carl Weber and Marcus Major, but Travis Hunter is fast becoming my favorite male author.

I read this book in 4 hours! I think this may be (because I'm still partial to the Hearts of Men) Mr. Hunter's finest work yet!
His books carry such positive messages. This one proves that things are not always as bad as they seem. Spread the word! We need more writers like Mr. Hunter! These book could easily be considered as inspirational fiction. If you haven't read them, you owe it to yourself to do it. (The Hearts of Men, Married but Still Looking, Trouble Man, and now One Woman Man) Wonderful books! |
LOVED IT!!

| What can I say? Travis Hunter has proved his worth once again with his newest release. I'm quick to admit that Mr. Hunter is quite possibly my favorite male fiction author, so I'm never surprised by my enjoyment of his work. But just when I thought I'd read his best writing in "Trouble Man", he introduces me to Dallas Dupree in "A One Woman Man". This story is captivating, well-written and it took me on the ride of my life. And then, just when I thought I had the story all figured out - a bomb was dropped that totally took me by surprise and brought the story full-circle. "A One Woman Man" is most definitely in the top five reads for me this year. This is Travis' best work....at least until next time. Kendra Norman-Bellamy, author of
"For Love And Grace" and "A Love So Strong" |
Great first pick...

| For our new book club, we wanted our first book selection to set the right tone. We wanted to read about strong, positive black men that we all knew existed and Mr. Hunter's book did just that. He shows thru Dallas and other characters that good men do exist. The book brings the characters to life so much, that when it ends, you feel the need to know more. You feel as if these are friends in your life and you actually care what happens to them. Not only did the book bring out many points affecting our book club members every day life, but it opened up very deep personal discussions. This is my third novel that I've read written by Mr. Hunter and each one were just as good as the last. |
Who's Da Man?

| Travis Hunter, that's who! This is my first Travis Hunter novel, but it sure as HE@@ won't be my last. I try to read books written by my black brothers, but I found that I can't get into them unless it's something on the non-fiction shelf. Fiction has always been a problem for me. A One Woman Man was given to me by my cousin in Atlanta who is a Hunter fan to her bones. She said, "You gotta read this." It was a gift, so I felt I owed it to her to do so. I read it in three hours - an all time record for me. I'm glad I gave it a chance because I honestly loved it and now, I guess I'm a Hunter fan too. I'm going online today to order his other stuff. Cuz says those are good too and she's made a believer out of me. Travis Hunter has renewed my faith in the black male fiction writer. |
