  Charisse has got everything right . . . except the Mister.  
                                     

Real estate agent Charisse Tyson seems to have it all-a great job, a dream car, and a McMansion in high-and-mightyville. Everything in her life is just right...except the Mister. While lamenting the break-up with her most recent "the one" during a holiday meltdown, Charisse realizes she has a type when it comes to men—players, players, and more players. A magazine article motivates her to swear off men and examine the complex roots of her romantic fiascos.

 
Just five simple steps to turn her life to the stuff of legends, right? Life is never that easy...
 
Charisse commences her do-it-yourself therapy project and barely cracks open her emotional toolbox when she encounters the monkey wrenches: an irresistible new beau, two persistent ex-flames, and an FBI agent with life-altering secrets threatening to turn her world upside-down.
 
A tug of war ensues and Charisse is dead center, trying her best to distinguish the Don Juans from the Romeos. As her love life is propelled into unpredictable twists not even she could imagine, will a twenty-seven-year-old secret keep Charisse from finding the right “one”? 
 
Laugh loud and often as Charisse discovers whether her choices in men reflect more than a penchant for good looks, great sex, and bad judgment.

 What Readers Are Saying...

 

"If you can't identify with Charisse, you have a friend who is exactly like her.  As a romance the journey is

incredible, as a novel, it is laugh out loud funny . . . It is not a male-bashing book, but a realistic

look at life through great writing."

Clee Culver

 

"The book wasn't just smart and entertaining, but it also surpassed the genre of chick-lit."

H. Geil

 

“Very intelligently written and witty and "tears rolling down my face" at points funny. I give it five stars."

SGR SISTA

 

"Everytime I thought I figured out what was about to happen, the author threw in a curveball which kept

me up late at night trying to find where it would land."
April T

 

 "This book had me laughing so hard . . . I recommend this book highly. One of the best books I read this year."

K. Taylor-Thomas

 

"This is an excellent and well-written book. Soror Brady has created a character you care about and want to see happy.

Her best friend is ride-or-die. If you haven't read this book, pick it up and buy a copy for someone else!"

F. Lewis

 

What Reviewers Are Saying...

 

"K.L. Brady has penned a clever, witty, insightful, and down right hilarious novel with THE BUM MAGNET.

From the first page until the very last, I was laughing out loud and wondering just how this new author came up

with this stuff. Charisse Tyson is a realistic and likable character with flaws and

experiences that most women can relate to . . .  This debut author is one to watch.

I highly recommend THE BUM MAGNET!"  Read More...

Monique D. Mensah, RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

 

“Creatively well-crafted, The Bum Magnet is a highly enjoyable, entertaining read. In a signature style equally

hilarious and insightful, author K.L. Brady takes readers on a vicarious journey through the depths of the

heart and mind . . . Witty pointed and real, The Bum Magnet sucks you in from the beginning and keeps you rapt

until the very end. A highly recommended read."  Read More...     

Linda Waterson, Apex Reviews

 

“K.L. Brady’s journey of one woman’s dating woes and self discovery was entertaining and real. With a nice balance of

 drama and laughs, The Bum Magnet is both funny and uplifting…”  Read More...

OOSA Online Book Club

 

"The Bum Magnet is a woefully delicious tale of the worst and best, but mostly worst kind of men any single woman

could come across... the only thing to predict in this story is its unpredictability. K.L. Brady has a unique writing style,

incorporating humor, warmth and sass . . . " Read More...

Evie Alex, Long Live Chick Lit

 

"Ms. Brady's creativity had me laughing-out-loud and shaking my head. . . The message of this book is

something everyone can benefit from. I recommend The Bum Magnet to readers

looking to laugh while enjoying a well-crafted story."

Jennifer Coissiere, APOOO BookClub Read More...

 

"A hilarious tells-it-like-it-is story that is sure to have you flipping the pages like you need another dose of the

good stuff. This novel by KL Brady screams perfection. . . This is definately

a 2010 top recommended reads."

Tamika Newhouse, AAMBC Book Club Read More...

 

"'The Bum Magnet' reads more like the snapping witty must-have rapport we ladies have with our best girlfriends.

I laughed, cringed, and identified with many of the relationship woes our heroine Charisse goes through.

This book happily blends surprise, humor, and wit into 294 pages of wonderful."
