If you thought Las Vegas was where "what happens" stays, you have not been to homecoming at a historically black college or university, which means you have missed out. Until now, that is.

Curtis Bunn's novel, Homecoming Weekend, provides readers a provocative, engrossing and humorous journey to an HBCU campus for those two days of reminiscing, partying, sex, romance, laughs and even tears.

There is nothing quite like homecoming. It is a combination of a massive family reunion and festival, a sentimental and reaffirming annual experience that is laced with rekindled romances from years gone by, weekend flings and surprising revelations. Bunn paints high-definition images of the events as he takes you on the odyssey of five sets of friends back at their alma mater seeking satisfaction in different fashions. And while they arrive anticipating one thing, they end up with realities that place them in moral and ethical dilemmas--and the resolutions are as satisfying as a warm embrace from a dear old friend.

Best of all, Bunn makes you feel like you are right there with the characters--or wish you were there.
