Summary: Mystro Mason longs for a family, complete with a beautiful wife, but she has a problem with falling in love with the wrong women. It is not until a Washington DC judge threatens her with a jail sentence, after an order of protection was issued, that she slows down her stalker tendencies. But, she discovers it is easier said than done. Native Houston, Mystros roommate and comrade, is all about clothes, shoes and her lust for a multitude of women. But after losing her job for trying to bed the boss, she soon realizes that her careless actions are coming back to haunt her. Church is a vixen who enjoys the company of women, but the only thing she loves more is money. When Mystro meets Church, it is love at first sight in her eyes. But, everything that looks good is not always good for you.

The problem is that once Mystro has her mind made up, there is no stopping her, even if she goes too far. Hersband Material booms with craziness, drama and betrayal, as Mystro and Native attempt to discover who they really are.
Review:
You can just hear the ladies chanting, "Hersband Material! Hersband Material!"
This book had my heart beating out of my chest. She made these characters very real. On top of it being filled with questioning moments, it was hilarious. The best scene came from Baby Dom taking their tips after their performance and showing off by buying everybody drinks in the club. Baby Dom was a riot and I believe I’d read a book simply about her. She was the comic relief that I feel is always needed in any novel no matter the subject.
It will come as no surprise that Baby Dom was the one I most favored.
Native was laid-back and blunt, loved that.
Mystro was clueless, but I still felt a bit sorry for her. She was dealt a bad hand. Anyone can identify with wanting to love and be loved so badly that you will accept just about anything.
I loved their names. C. Wash did an incredible job for her debut. Her characters were people that I knew in real life. I could imagine any one of them walking up my street or even knocking on my door.
There were some editing issues with tense changes and punctuation, but it took nothing away from the amazing story. It was refreshing to read something that's not written often.
I hope this book has a second part. Overall, I enjoyed it and I'd recommend it.
