Amazon.com has done it again with some impeccable recommendation work for me. Based on my past purchases of Xena <\/em>DVDs, they have recommended a book: Chocolate Lemons and Peppermint Tears: The Bittersweet Life of Xena.<\/a><\/em> Behold the Amazon.com book description: <\/p>\n

Set in Los Angeles in the mid-1990’s, Chocolate Lemons and Peppermint Tears: The Bittersweet Life of Xena,<\/em> tells the poignant, funny, sexy, in your face, and very relatable tale of Xena Quay Vaughan, an attractive, successful, slightly neurotic, never been married black woman in her mid-thirties, who struggles desperately with getting over a married man; her perceived weight problem; being celibate for almost two years; being a natural sista in a weave-uh-diva world, her free-spirited best friend, Renee, with her “I don’t give a damn” attitude; finally meeting and falling in love with “the one;” and a mind-boggling encounter between the married man and her lover. This story will leave you wanting more – like seconds at Thanksgiving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um. Yeah. <\/p>\n

In Amazon’s defense, the name Xena is unique enough that it’s a fair assumption that any appearance of the name would be in reference to that familiar warrior princess. You’d think, though, that a company called Amazon would have a special knack at picking out the real protector of the Queen of the Amazons, wouldn’t you? I mean, really. <\/p>\n

Too nerdy? Okay. I’ll reel it back a little. <\/p>\n

I love that in this book, Xena’s best friend is named Ren<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
