About this audiobook
At the end of Not a Day Goes By, the terminally bisexual John Basil Henderson declares: "I'm back, in full form. And I'm out there. Roamin'. And switching lanes." Now, in Any Way the Wind Blows, Basil, good-looking gadabout and homme fatal, is back at the top of his game (razzle-dazzling both the women and the men). All is well until Basil's picture-perfect life starts to unravel . . .
Left at the altar a year before, jilted Broadway bombshell Yancey Harrington Braxton stages her comeback-this time as a recording star-but has she forgiven ex-fiancé Basil, or does she still need to even the score? As Yancey's star continues to rise, her past threatens to catch up with her and she fears someone may be after her as well . . .
In a wicked little dance of revenge, Basil and Yancey struggle to keep their lives on track, while a chorus of unforgettable characters either come to their aid, or make matters worse. In the mix are: Yancey's mother, Ava "Mama Dearest" Braxton, a diva's diva and a second-rate showgirl housed in the body of an aging supermodel; the wise and wonderful Windsor Adams; and the new guy in town, Bartholomew "Bart" Dunbar, a rogue's rogue and handsome hunk of a man who stands to make Basil look like a choirboy.
With just the right amount of wickedness, love, and compassion, Harris's masterful storytelling and delicious plot twists will have fans and newcomers alike frantically turning pages trying to find the answer to the ultimate question: Does revenge ever really pay?
From the Hardcover edition.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'll be the first to admit, I really enjoy reading E. Lynn Harris' works. I feel that they are both insightful as well as entertaining.After just finishing his latest book, "Any Way the Wind Blows," I would be doing you a great disservice if I didn't say how I felt about the book. So, having said all that, I'll get into what you really want to know;what did I think of the book. In order to be able to read and fully enjoy this book, I feel that it's necessary to read Harris' last book, "Not a Day Goes By." I feel that if you don't read that book and then try to read this one, you'll find yourself confused about some of the references.Also, you should probably read some of his other books as well considering the fact that some of the characters from this book are from from other books. The character development here is very good.As I was reading the book, I could sympathize with Yancey's broken heart,feel Basil's pain at having to keep secrets from family and friends,as well as seeing Bart's determination to get what he wants and Ava's scheming to make things go her way.After I read this book, I realized that these people represent each of us.In all of us, there is an element of these characters and also, I'm sure many of us encounter people like each of these characters on a daily basis. While I did like the book very much, I was somewhat disappointed at the end of the book. It just seemed to me that Harris decided to take the easy was out and find any way to tie up all the loose ends.While some of the ways he ends each character seems possible, other seem down right unfair.When I say this, I mean that although someone has broken the law in the story, in the end, no one is even arrested which implies that the world in which Harris has created, a verbal warning is all one needs. Overall, I did enjoy this book and am looking forward to his next one.In reference to characters however, I would probably like it more if he started with new people. Through doing this,the reader won't have to waste time finding out the background of each character and then a more pleasant experience can be had by all.
