Wishing to be the perfect lawyer, wife, Christian, daughter, friend and lover-Maxine falls short at almost every turn in the latest novel by Angilee Jones (author of Struck: Addressing Our Culture, Today). Blessed with killer looks and a killer instinct, Maxine has always gotten what she wanted with little trouble, but always a body count. In When Love Is The Problem, her latest victim is her husband Keith-an equally beautiful and successful scouting agent. Looking to play the field while her husband was busy at work, Maxine gets involved with an uber-sexy young football player, Braeden. The affair suddenly gets real when Maxine catches feelings and the picture perfect Los Angeles life she has cultivated begins to fall apart. Will her marriage survive? Will her Christian faith see her through it? Will her "girlfriends" and family be her rock, or has she burned bridges there too? One thing is for sure, nothing is certain in love. This sexy yet touching novel unpacks the "perfect" marriage of a beautiful African-American power couple. Questions about faith, love, marriage, friendship, monogamy, parenthood, lifestyle and walking away from it all to have it all--are all addressed in this tantalizing novel Although true to it's fictional format, we all either know or are a Maxine and Keith, which makes for another reason to read Angilee Jones' When Love Is The Problem.
