"Ashaki's Beauty Parlor" is based on the lovable African Matchmaker-turned-Beautician from the classic novel, "The Estranged Affair: A Love Story." Ashaki is expecting a wedding proposal from the handsome, wealthy Terrance Whitmore, III, but when he dumps her instead, announcing his engagement to his ex-wife Regina Whitmore-Adams, the matchmaker sets out on a plan for revenge, including everything from a voodoo doll bent on destruction to her witch doctor father's arrival from West Africa! With nail-biting humor, the matchmaker hatches her plan while dealing with the urban gossip encompassing her beauty parlor! Join Ashaki on her adventure, from romance with a tribal guardian to a night in jail with her nemesis! With appearances by Daniel and Chandler from "The Estranged Affair," as well as Nashville-based punk band The 8th Grade, "Ashaki's Beauty Parlor" is approved for readers aged 17 and older, for mild language and brief adult situations.

Ashaki, African tribal matchmaker, has found a life in bustling Miami complete with her own beauty parlor. She is beautiful, talented, and likeable. Life is good, or so she thinks.

Terrance is Ashaki’s rich and handsome boyfriend. When he not only breaks up with her, but also announces his engagement to his ex-wife, Ashaki’s world is turned upside down.

Ashaki focuses her revenge on Terrance’s fiancée, Regina. When her father arrives from Africa, Ashaki’s plotting takes an even more dangerous turn. How far will she carry her revenge? “Ashaki’s Beauty Parlor” takes the reader through the wild nightclubs of Miami to secret voodoo rituals in back rooms.

J.L. Foster has created a lively modern story containing both comical, and sad, moments. The cast of characters are memorable and as diverse as the city of Miami itself. Although the intentional misspelled words such as “gurl” and “bois” can be distracting, Foster’s writing is well done and original, as only a book about an African voodoo matchmaker with two gay best friends, who are bent on revenge, could be.

Ashaki is a matchmaker, she has helped lots of people to find someone to love and to make that love a bidirectional thing. But now she’s in love herself, and he’s going to ask her to marry him, finally. He’s going to ask her tonight, she can sense it, she just knows he will… That’s why she has put on this beautiful dress that makes her look so incredible sexy. It fits the occasion. The knowledge that he’s going to marry her makes her so happy, this is heaven on earth.

How awful, he didn’t ask her to marry him. He invited her to that fancy restaurant to tell her that he loves someone else, another woman. She can’t accept this, never.
She has to do something before anybody else finds out. He loves her, he just doesn’t realize it, it’s not too late yet… He will find out he can’t play with her!
Terrance doesn’t know what’s coming over him. She thought he was going to propose to her… And now she put a curse on him, but curses can’t really harm a man, can they?

Ashaki’s Beauty Parlor is a book with plenty of ingredients in it, you’ll find love, hate, humor and voodoo. A woman feels rejected and goes all the way in her sweet revenge.
The main character is a lovable African Matchmaker with a strong mind of her own, you better don’t mess around with this woman and that is what Terrance just had the nerve to do.

J. L. Foster has written an exciting story. I have enjoyed reading it and I’m sure you will also!



More Ashaki!! What more can you ask?
