Ten years after their home was almost torn apart by infidelity, Mona and Shawn Black are just getting back to normal . . . or so it seems. Both Shawn and Mona are still keeping secrets from each other and their immediate family. Back to his old tricks, James Parks exits prison older but not wiser, and his bitter rage seeks revenge. He again manipulates the lives of the Black family with knowledge of secrets that they hold locked away. He uses any and everyone in his path to get his payback; that is, until he stumbles onto someone who offers him something he vowed to do away with forever: love. Will Mona and Shawn learn that it is best not to keep secrets and just let the chips fall where they may? Will James bury the hatchet to try his hand at love once again? Is there still hope for these wayward souls, or will they be swallowed up by their lies and secrets once again? Secrets, lies, deception, murder, lust, and revenge rule the pages of this sophisticated drama. Let's see what happens when the gates of their lives swing wide open once again.

  • T.A. Beasley

    In Both Sides of the Fence 2 by M. T. Pope, we revisit Mona and Shawn Black, a married couple trying to get back to normal after ten years of turmoil. After all they have been through both are still harboring secrets that could ultimately destroy their family. Will the Blacks finally overcome all of their pain?

    James Parks, every couple's nightmare, is still his normal conniving and manipulative self. James has an agenda to make others pay until he meets someone that just might change his mind.

    Both Sides of the Fence 2 is about secrets, deception, and lies being told. This mischievous and suspenseful book will keep you turning its pages until the end. It is true to its title and the gates do swing wide open giving readers plenty of entertainment. The author has done it again by providing another book that readers will talk about for weeks to come.

    Wow..what do I say..What can I say...
    I thought book 1 was excellent. Book 2 just blew me away.
    This book has a little bit of everything.
    Once again you have done a wonderful job.

    Part 2 picks up 10 years later. James is back and creeps back into Shawn and Mona's life. More secrets are revealed. I had to go back and re-read a couple of pages. This is one of those books that you want to keep reading. The story never gets dull and the action keeps coming.

    Thank you again for a wonderful story line.

    The sequel to one of the best books I've read in 2015, did not disappoint one but. The drama continues with the dysfunctional Black family. Shawn has finally come to a place where he can forgive Mona for her infidelity and secrets. Mona is at a place where she is comfortable in her marriage again. The twins, who are oblivious to their parent's problems, have issues of their own. The twists and turns will leave you wanting moreā€¦much more! Kudos to @mtpope!!!

    That James that James!! He is back at it again! If you thought it was tripping in the first book wait until you get into this piece! I'm certain that you will feel so many emotions as you flip through these pages.

    Finished this book in record time. It continues to be a very interesting roller coaster ride following the black family and James/Jerry but as new characters were introduced it seemed like mini stories being tied together and it almost didn't work out for this book but good job M.T Pope

  • Germaine

    Book 2 of the series, Both Sides of the Fence. The characters kept the reader intrigued until the end. Many plot twisters in this book that encourage the reader to read to the end.
