“A mixed bag of sex, attitude and fun . . . .”
“Jessie Harris, a determined, business-driven African-American woman with good looks on her side, is a decade out of college and pining for a good man in her life. Instead she settles for the spa-themed psychotherapy sessions her girlfriends bought for her 33rd birthday. Saddled with insurmountable debt and a job she hates, Jessie calls Dallas home and hopes to start a family someday, but sees herself as a ‘mean, bitter woman.’ The self-proclaimed ‘Queen Bitch’ enjoys participating in a live radio call-in program called ‘The Love Forum’ where she and her best girlfriends Melissa, songstress DeDe and the rest of The Divas explicitly describe themselves and their racy relationships and discuss topics like Internet dating, maintenance men, old flames, long distance relationships and psychic predictions.” – Kirkus Discoveries
“Can a sista get some love?”
“In ‘Looking for Sweet Love,’ Jessie and her friends agree to discuss everything about relationships woes on a radio show known as the Love Forum. And man is there plenty to talk about. First there’s Jessie whose past includes falling for a good-looking man with no money. Though her career appears to be skyrocketing, it is doing nothing for her love life. Then there’s DeDe the singer whose relationship with a married man comes with a hefty price. Vanessa is the big girl of the bunch, and we all know that big girls need lovin’ too; though finding it has been a challenge. Melissa and Pat seem to be in healthy relationships but everything ain’t always what it seems. Don’t forget Brit who always keeps it real. Finally, there’s Darlene who is a little too quick to drop to her knees to please a man. That’s a whole lot of women with a whole lot of problems within the confines of 306 pages. Dealing with their issues privately is more than enough. Do you honestly think they’ll tell it all on the radio too? The answer may surprise you.”
“‘Looking for Sweet Love’ is a pure delight to read with lots of ‘Oh-no-she-didn’t moments’ that will have you busting a gut, nodding in agreement, and saying Amen. Fans of shows like ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ and books such as ‘Waiting to Exhale,’ will love this page turner. If Byrd keeps it up, he will have a long and bright future ahead of him.” – AALBC.com

“Turn the dial on your radio station to K-103.5.”
“The Love Forum is now on the air in the Dallas, TX area. For six months, the ladies
will be discussing the most intimate parts of their lives, ranging from their love
lives (or lack there of), the ups and downs of dating, and the things that women
will put up with...all in the search of looking for ‘sweet’ love.”
“Looking For Sweet Love by R.L. Byrd was a fantastic read. The writing makes you
feel as if you are really listening to an actual radio show. You will find yourself
rooting for the ladies and feeling their pain. The author does an excellent job in
portraying each characters emotions and thoughts. I absolutely loved the way the
author pulled this story together. It damn near brought me to tears. R.L. Byrd is
definitely an author to keep a watch out for.” – Urban Reviews
