by Angela Winters

Amid the glitz and glam of Washington, D.C.'s elite circle of movers and shakers are three ambitious ladies reaching for the top--and ready to face any obstacle in their way. . .

Switching from life on the White House fast track to stay-at-home mom doesn't quite suit Sherise--especially once she suspects her husband is having an affair. And when she receives a threatening note, it's clear someone wants revenge--but who, and for what?. . ..When successful lawyer Billie gets romantically involved with a client who might be involved in a drug operation, she discovers she may have made a fatal mistake--and far more than her career is on the line. . ..Juggling her work at the Pentagon with her personal life is turning out to be more complicated--and more dangerous--than Erica expected. When her little brother gets pulled into the fray, Erica will have to make a life-changing choice. . ..Between conniving exes, power hungry bosses, meddling relatives, and secrets that just won't stay hidden, these ladies are making their own personal headlines--in the world's most news-making city. . .

3 Friends

There are still a lot of loose ends at the end of this book.

The friends are honest with each other and loyal to the very end.

Almost doesn't count

Almost doesn't count is a crazy title for all of this drama, twists and turns. These three best friends/sisters got a whole lot of messiness in DC.

[Johnetta · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this book. The stories of the 3 women kept me interested although sometimes I got them confused. I wasn't sold on their friendship with each other though. It didn't seem like they were that close because of all the cattiness they kept going with each other even when they had serious issues. Or maybe they're friends but just don't like each other, idk how that works. I would've liked to see their bond more intact and not fake-forced. Overall it was ok.

This is the first time I've read an Angela Winters book. I enjoyed it. It started off a little slow but, was easy to get into once things got rolling. The story of three best friends and their dramas, it was at times a little over the top. But, I look forward to reading the prequel and hoping there is another.

It was a good book. I didn't care for the ending. Not sure if there's another to follow, but there were a lot of open endings that needs more closure ( to me). Did justin and sherise get back together, Did Tara ever come back. Did Erica and her father make it and did her brother Nate give up drugs.

I wanted more action & drama at a faster pace. There were a couple of story lines left untied - What was the story behind Ricky? Who did Jennifer cheat with? Would Billie lose her job? Is Tara having sex? You get my point...one thing was certainly clear Almost Doesn't Count.

[Michelle Chavis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this book. Couldn't tell if there will be another one in the series though.

This is part 2 to the d.d women book but im not sure

[Toni · Rating 4 out of 5]

The back and forth of all the drama made my head spin...but this was a better read than Back on Top by Winters, which also features Sherise, Erica and Billie.

[Jessica Morales · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book should have been included In A seies with Power Seduction And Scandal. I'm upset I Read That Book Before This one.
