In Darrien Lee's much-anticipated sequel to All That and a Bag of Chips, readers meet up again with Craig Bennett, who is still wary of love even years after his affair with Venice Taylor. This compelling continuation of the Craig Bennett and Venice Taylor saga reveals Craig to be still smarting from Venice's decision to marry her high school sweetheart despite the passion she and Craig shared during their college romance. Devastated by the loss, Craig has dedicated himself to building his company, Bennett Architectural, Inc., into a multimillion-dollar empire and rising to career success. However, his personal life is not quite as fruitful -- even though he has had several meaningless flings with beautiful, intelligent women -- due to the impenetrable wall of regret preventing him from reaching out to another woman. As fate would have it, Craig finds himself faced with a challenge that tests his will, trust, and capacity to love and forces him to confront the issues that have been plaguing him for the past seven years. In Been There, Done That Darrien Lee crafts a fascinating novel complete with intricate relationships, life-changing decisions, and painful matters of the heart.
This was a great follow up to All That and A Bag of Chips. I really enjoyed following the story of Craig and Venice. It reads like a song, just flowing. I have great admiration for the writer. Thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of us.

This was a great follow-up book. I read this in three days. This book is highly recommended, well worth the money. But don't read this unless you read All That And A Bag of Chips, because you will not know what's going on.
This is the first time I finished a book in one day!!!!!!!!!

This book was really worth the wait. I love that the author was able to do a sequel without forgetting the plot of the original characters. This book actually gives you things to think about when it comes to true love. I applaud you Darrien! Please do not take to long with your other book casue I cannot wait. Keep this up and you will find yourself the female version E Lynn Harris. I wish you must success.

One Of The Best Books That I Have Ever Read

I didn't even know that there was a part II to "All that and A Bag of Chips." I am so glad that I just happened to come across this book. This was a wonderful book. I loved Venise and Jarvis together, and thought that they fought so hard to be together, and the unthinkable happened. Then...here comes Craig back into the picture. Both "All that and a Bag of Chips," and "Been There Done That" were very well written and I look forward to more books by Mrs. Lee. This is one book that you definitely could not put down. From start to fininsh, it had you. I would definitely recommend this to others. Book of the year!!!!!!!!!
Well It's About Time!

I got so excited that this book was about to be released that I actually re-read "All That and a Bag of Chips." That's unusual for me. But it really added to my enjoyment of "Been There, Done That." I read both books in two days. I barely worked, didn't do the laundry, and I ate take-out, anything to spare some time to finish these books. I read as if my life depended on it. Darrien Lee wrote characters that haunt you until you finish the book. As a reader you find yourself needing that closure. And when you finally do finish the book you find yourself wishing that you hadn't read it so fast, because now the suspense is over. What a trip Darrien Lee took me on. Venice, Craig, and Jarvis are both passionate and layered. And the supporting cast of the book are outstanding. They complement the story so well. So now I really can't wait for "What Goes Around, Comes Around." I'm sure I won't be disappointed. So please do yourself a favor, order "Been There, Done That", then order "All That and a Bag of Chips." You need them both!! You won't be sorry. Enjoy!
