I really enjoyed this book and it was set in my favorite city in the world, New Orleans. It is set during the time period right after the slaves were freed.<br />
<br />Parts of the book were slow but I managed to not skip any pages.. I must say that Cele reminds me of a few people I know, blinded by their own wants.<br />
<br />
<br />This book is out of print and I must be honest and advise that I received this book as a gift from the author although it does not affect my review.<br />
<br />
<br />it was a good read.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">I was searching for African American Historical romance novels on amazon when I located this book. I had never heard of Amber Green before then but I took the leap. If you are put off by erotica especially male on male erotica this book is not for you. I am going to be honest I enjoyed the story. Twilight Amery was a not so innocent character who became a companion to Hector and Stone and then she became much more. </span><br />

I loved this book. CJ was awesome! He loves his bar and his lifestyle, but his family needs him to take the helm of the family business. I felt so bad for Cicely and I wished her family were better towards her! Cicely, is hard-working, fashionable and a good friend.<br />
<br />I love forward to the next installment in this series.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I hesitate to say that this is my favorite in the Grayson Family and Friends series. Alex is a great hero. He is the brother of Catherine Stewart Grayson (Luke's wife). I believe this is the only story in the series where the couple was not set up by Ruth.

I enjoyed this it was a good read. I was not happy about the way it ended. And there is a sequel but it does not continue their story it moves on to focus on another person. I need to know what happened in their marriage. There are some holes in the story that are not filled but it does not kill the storyline.<br />

I feel like this book should be read either poolside or while on the beach. It was pretty good and I look forward to reading the follow up story which you can find an excerpt of at the end of this book. Keep in mind that this is a romance story while glimpses of pain, honor and a whole lot of Southern Tradition. I am a big fan of this author and I enjoyed this book.<br />

One look at the cover and I was sure that I was wasting my time, boy was I wrong. This was a good book and I could not put it down. I read it in one sitting. When I finished this book I immediately went to Amazon for part 2. well guess what? She has not finished it yet. Ugh!<br />

He is totally out of my genre of romance. but once I read the first Samantha Moon novel I was hooked.

The crazy thing about this book is that I knew more about the King Arthur legend than I even thought. This was a crazy wild ride and the direction I thought it was going it never went. Good job keeping the pace. This is pure fantasy and a joy to read.<br />

This is one of the best vampire stories I have read in awhile. Forget about twilight there was humor and a little lust. Some crazy kids and hunters. I wish that it did not end so abruptly those which is a trademark it seems from J.R. Rain.<br />

I really loved how he incorporated so much detail in this story. So this story is about Noah's Ark and what happened to it after those fateful 40 days. I don't want to spoil the story but I enjoyed it. Jr Rain is quickly rising to the top of my favorite author list.<br />

I actually liked this book when I gave it a chance. Although it starts off as a blog post which through me off. In the end it was a good read. Scotty is girl who lives in a RV with her mother, she does not go to school she just goes from movie set to movie set. Charley is her mother a real gypsy who works as a movie food stylist.<br />
<br />
<br />With all of that being said, nobody is really who you think they are not even Scotty and she doesn't know it at first. She just knows that her mother is hiding something<br />

Honestly I found this book to be funny, aside from the murders and the mishaps that keep happening to her and that the prime suspect has a crush on the heroine.<br />

This book really made me think about the choices we make in our lives. Shelia was so sure that she had everything she wanted but she did not know what GOD wanted for her. When she started to walk in her faith so many doors opened up for her. I read every word of this book. I would caution you to read the first book if you want the whole background on Shelia.<br />

Jim is back and he is back and is he hired to find out what happens to a fresh out of college historian. Along the way he solves a very old crime and digs up more evidence in the murder of his mother from his childhood. He still hasn't made peace with his father or his football career. <br /><br />Read it you will not be disappointed. However, there is some graphic scenes in his stories so don't say I did not warn you.<br />

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/244361998">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
This is the first in the Jim Knighthorse Series. Jim is a PI and a ex college football star. One play took him out of the game but is his career in football over? Jim has a past that not many can overcome. He started his own agency even though his father owns one of the biggest PI firms in LA. Jim has women issues, daddy issues and an ego bigger than LA County. But he also has a big heart and a knack for helping the little guy and making bad guys disappear.<br />

I have become a die-hard JR Rain fan. Jim knighthorse is bigger than a horse, arrogant and a darn good detective. He has been hired to find out what really happened to a shark activist. Along the way he must continue tracking the man who killed his mother when he was ten years old. Although Jim often works with the police he does not always walk within the law.<br />

I really did enjoy this book. I think the title sucks but I read it anyway and was pleasantly surprised at how well written the story is. I did not find it predictable and what girl does not love a cowboy, who loves his family and his land in that order. When Sammie Jo called him daddy for the first time I could not help but smile. I am considering reading the remaining stories in the Travers Brothers series.<br />

<br />
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I was so unsure of where this story was going but I loved every minute of it. It took me only a few hours to complete the book because it just that good.<br />
<br />
Kenisha, is a young mother doing her very best with her three kids, while living in the projects and she has a deadly secret that she is keeping from everyone. Deirdre is school principal with a secret that could destroy her marriage and a longing for children that she can not overcome. They forge a very unlikely friendship but one that will restore faith to both of them.<br />
<br />
<br />
A Must READ!!!!!!!!!!<br />

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/248916879">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I am giving this 4 stars because it was too much going on. It would have been easier if Yolanda and Carlos were their own story because it was just alot. Chantal and Sinclair do not seem like the kind of women that Hatdh would have raised. Chantal was just too silly for me. She was getting mad at the man for reasons that were out of his control. She was just a tad bit too immature for me. Seriously.<br />
<br />
<br />Sinclair I liked although I wish she had more backbone.<br />
<br />I am going to say I liked the book but this was not my favorite by Ms. Griffin so I will wait and see what is next.<br />

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/248911621">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
I really enjoyed this book. Faith and sisters decide to become mail order brides to secure their futures. Faith arrives in Deliverance, TX and there is drama from the very start. The stage breaks an axle and she arrives to meet her rich husband and the rest of the town dirty and hot.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am going to read the three other stories in the series because I really enjoyed this book. This is a historical romance with Christian undertones so there is no steaminess and that is okay because it is not needed.<br />
<br />

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the chemistry between the characters. My only beef with the book is the same I have had with her others. There are typographical errors in the book. for instance that there is a sentenced where it should read "she stared at him" but instead of stared the book has "started" drives me crazy. Otherwise good story<br />
