The Other Side by Trice Hickman 
Published by Dafina on September 24, 2019
After one too many failed relationships, businesswoman Bernadette Gibson is resigned to singlehood. Yet on the heels of her fiftieth birthday she meets Cooper “Coop” Dennis, a charismatic nightclub owner who literally sweeps her off her feet. But just as they’re ready to make the ultimate commitment, a secret from Coop’s past threatens to end their relationship . . .
As her fortieth birthday approaches, bestselling novelist Testimony “Tess” Sinclair is hurting—especially since her ex-boyfriend got married. For a change of scenery she travels to the sleepy southern town of Bourbon, NC, to visit her cousin, Bernadette—and finds unexpected love. Yet as wedding bells promise to ring, Tess wrestles with a secret that could end their happily ever after before it begins . . .
Up-and-coming makeup artist and single mom Arizona May is thrilled to be just a few months away from marrying the love of her life. Until then, she and her fiancé are committed to celibacy. But on the eve of Arizona’s thirtieth birthday, they surrender to passion—and she discovers something about her Prince Charming that leads her to rethink their plans . . .
As Bernadette, Tess, and Arizona strive to find happiness, they develop a bond that strengthens and surprises them—and carries them through their struggles, to the other side.
The Other Side by Trice Hickman centers around the lives of Bernadette, Arizona, and Tess, who are dealing with their share of woes when it comes to the love department.
Several years after a disastrous breakup, the last thing is on Bernadette’s mind is love until she meets Cooper. Everything seems to be going great until she discovers something from Cooper’s past. Arizona is engaged to the man of her dreams but gets a rude awakening after they decided to break their vow of celibacy. Tess has been bitter about love since her last relationship, but after she finds out her ex has moved on – her outlook on love is null and void. But she meets something that may soften that cold heart of hers, but she has a secret looming over her head – will she ever be able to experience love happily ever?
One of the things I love about Author Trice Hickman’s writing style is her ability to take readers through an array of emotions – from laugh out loud moments, hell naw moments, tears, and learning lessons.
I have been waiting a minute to read another book from Trice Hickman, and she didn’t disappoint with her latest book release, The Other Side.
Trice Hickman didn’t miss a beat with characters and scenarios that are relatable. Even if you haven’t experienced any of the situations in this book – you know someone who has experienced it.
I can’t wait to read more about these three women, because I know their stories are far from over.
Great Job, Trice! Your 5-star streak continues…
