B. Love gives readers a variety of stories to choose from in her repertoire. The titles usually pique my interest enough to want to read the story to see what she’s conjured up this time. As a kid, many of us used our parents’ relationship as the model for what love should look like…
If you’ve been following the Bricks Series, you’ll remember Freddie and Roman’s story began last Christmas in A Collection of Christmas Stories from The Bricks. Their story highlighted real love. I’d hoped they would get a book of their own; if for no other reason than to get a chance to have some steamy…
Donna Hill helped me discover the joy of love in romance novels. Her books gave readers the chance to escape into the arms of a handsome man and feel the passion of being loved. She also gave readers the opportunity to see love in warm hues (CCJ, I stole this phrase from you). Since…
The story had a splendid feeling. I could not entirely discern the writer’s voice, but I adored this story. Naima Russell was the focus of this story, along with her leading man Derrick “DJ Most” Jackson. The leading man was the crooner who wrote lyrics too sexy to ignore. So, when he set his…
I may have missed this author’s work in the past, but going forward, I’ll pay closer attention to her books. Based on the snippet from the author’s ‘about the story’ section, I could tell it would be a damsel in distress rescued by the hero type of story; but it was nothing like the…
Deuces Wild was a beautiful and adventurous story. The story was hotter than a Haitian Summer. The leading roles were Cree,a super-hot Detective and Alicia aka Ace, a badass, kick-ass female character. Cree and Alicia introduced in CCJ’s Ante Up, the first book in the High Stakes series. In Deuces Wild, we saw Alicia up…
Ramsey St Claire is the man! We met him a few books back in the Baked with Love series; then we saw him again in the Royal series. Ramsey and Gianna’s love story, wow! It was a great chance to get to know this couple more intimately. Ramsey was once again overbearing and controlling when…
The novel was a sweet, sweet story about a couple starting over, and about a man giving up a negative past to make a dramatic transformation. Aniya Thomas once lived a dismal life with a man whose ego was more massive than a glacier mountain in Antarctica. He was a TV news anchor with…
I’ll begin this review by saying whew! And then by saying hot dang! Ladies…(and gentlemen, too!) just so you’ll know, Hawk is my new heartthrob, my passion place, and (in my best Jamaican accent) my boo ting. So, you all need to back the heck up! Now that we’re clear, I’ll share my review. Hawk’s…
I would suggest reading the first book to follow this story. In this story, Ella followed her mother’s lead when she married a man without the financial means as her wealthy family. However, that marriage was short-lived and Ella’s second chance was about finding the right man this time. She and her ex- husband were…
