I thoroughly enjoyed For Every Love There is A Reason. This was an excellent book. The characters were very well developed which is something that not many authors do these days and it actually helps the reader identify with Keilah, Norelle, Andre and Raymond. The story line was engaging and I was able to read the book in 2 days. Kepp up the good work!

I met you in Delaware at Barnes Books, Dover Mall. I bought 2 of your book. It took me 2 days to go through the 1st chapter and after that, I couldn't keep the book down. The plot captivated me and took me to another place altogether. I felt one with each of the characters and could not wait to get to the unravelling of their lives' struggles and intrigues. You have uncanny ability to captivate your readers and keep them invoolved and interested. Hope you are working on another one. I look forward to reading more of your books.
Good-Luck!!!!!!

Loved browsing through your site Kenda! You're an awesome afro-centric woman whose passion can be felt through these cyberpages.

Keep on keeping on, letting God use you to shine His light to the downtrodden and forgotten, the rejects in the projects and those who need that neo-soul to make them whole...

Peace & Blessings...

A Must Read! Finally, as an avid reader, Kenda Bell has captured the imagination of the art of writing in a unique and fresh style. "For Every Love There Is A Reason" will take you on a roller coaster ride on the four ships; kinships, love relationships, friendships and hardships. It was such an invigorating love story that will keep you wanting more. All emotions are included, happiness, sadness, anger, fear and most of all hopefulness. Ms. Bell brings the characters to life by giving you history to help in the understanding of their present. For Every Love There Is A Reason is a story we all can relate and have had a time in our life where true love is at our grasp, but the timing is off, or is it?

Kenda,
It is a pleasure to know you and I give thanks for our connection.

Peace & Blessings Sista

I loved it !!! I bought the book from you at a book signing in Columbus on a Saturday. Sat down Monday afternoon to begin what I "assumed" would be another tale of love and lost love, but I couldn't put it down until I finished it that night at 11:56pm. You truly have a gift of not only touching ones soul with figurative language, but also creating a vivid picture of what love is deep within. May The Creator continue you bless you and I look forward to your next tale.


February 23, 2008 | Lynel Washington
God has truly blessed you with the powerful ability to touch souls. Not many are able to succeed as you have. You are setting a vivid example of what it means to deeply be in tune with the vibrations of life.

Kenda, Kenda, Kenda … so much inspiration, motivation, encouragement, energy, ambition and optimism in one being!

The cover and excerpt of For Every Love There is a Reason grabbed my attention long before I knew who Ms. Neosoul-Lit-Author-Essence-Bestseller Kenda Bell was!

From the very first chapter, I just could not put it down!!! I went through a multitude of emotions - I love, loooove, loved Justis, wanted to slap Norelle into sensibility, was angry at Keilah's dad and even angrier at her mother for THAT level of desperation, and letting “her man” get away with murder. I hated 'what's-her-face' (LOL) and was rooting for Keilah all the way ... And, poor Norelle's husband … well, until the end threw me off - OMG, please hurry up and write the sequel … put me out of my misery. I will be first in line to get a copy!!! Still so many unanswered questions! I just couldn't put it down - I tried reading a bit at a time on day one, but that only lasted until I got to chapter five... and then I just had to know what happened...so I read the rest in another sitting. This is a serious must-read! Ms. Neosoul-Lit-Author-Essence-Bestseller (CONGRATS!), you definitely bring it!

I wish you boundless success … GOD Bless!

P.S: LUV the music on your site :-/ I “suspect” that this song "Wishful Ways" (and much, much more) can be found at www.jeliq.com ;-/ You make me PROUD to spell my name: I-N-D-I-E A-R-T-I-S-T!

I love your site it is beautiful.

I am the author of “The Struggle to Fall in Love with Myself” a book that I have recently completed. It is an autobiography, a story which depicts the life of a gifted talented girl who suffered a lifetime of abuse of all kinds, immoral decisions, and sexual dysfunction until she was able to find her way back to Christ and find the love within herself not destruct any more. I implore you to visit my site www.thestruggle.4t.com and give me your views after reading excerpts from the book. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts with me. Many blessings to you for the New Year.
