In a refreshing twist on the men-are-booty-callin'-dawgs black romance novel, Harris revisits the lives and loves of five thirtysomething professionals in the third installment of his best-selling "Invisible Life" series. Theater Dreamgirl Nicole and devoted husband Jared struggle through a new life in the Big Apple while coping with a sweetly scheming understudy; high-powered gay lawyer Raymond has his lifestyle (and partner Trent) scrutinized when he's nominated for a federal judgeship; man- and womanizing ex-football star Basil tries to overcome a shady past. Though the briskly paced tome contains more than a few ridiculous lines ("Raymond was listening to Maxwell's mellow voice, blending with Trent's soulful snore"), Abide With Me still makes for breezy, bighearted entertainment.
