Each woman has their own reasons for entering in a relationship with these men. The men are seemingly more certain than the woman but continue to do everything they can to convince them to stay in the game. A series of events shape and mold each relationship and put them to the test and each couple must decide if the relationship they have is worth the risk.The Ying Yang Effect was a great read with very strong male characters taking on even stronger woman characters.  The mismatching of couples only added more spice to the story. Ms Littlejohn has given us a topic worthy of discussion with a touch of humor spread through out. Love should never have to have to have barriers of any kind but be chosen by the heart.  Christy@ MayReview.com
