I thoroughly enjoyed some of the stories in this book; it took me one day to read it. I especially like the fact that each story portrayed black men positively...men who were trying to right their wrongs and accept responsibility. The stories were well written and the plots were easy to follow, all while still being erotic and semi-erotic in some cases.
In Brenda Jackson's "Strictly Business," we have Gina who has a gig that could make or break a writer's career who involves spending a week interviewing a handsome, ambitious and ruthless Texas millionaire--who's also her ex-husband. I love Brenda's work but this one really didn't captivate me the way it should, it sort of drag in some spots but speed up in a few places that shouldn't.
"Catch Me If You Can" by Cindi Louis. We have Lonzell and Leesa who plan to marry just before he goes overseas serving in the military. Leesa becomes pregnant but she is unable to contact her beloved. Several years later he returns home to find single mother Leesa raising their son and learns how his mother kept them apart. I have to say that this story was the best out of the bunch; from start to finish it had me glued and I just wish it had been a full blown story. It really captured my heart.
"Promises and Vows" by Felicia Mason. After three years of marriage, Jerome and Elise head towards divorce as both pushes their respective careers before their relationship. They sleep in separate rooms until his voodoo-practicing Aunt arrives for a visit. Jerome vows to use any form of magic to save his relationship with his beloved. This story was okay even though the plot was unrealistic but the passion was well felt. I've never read anything from this author and probably give her a try when the time comes.
"Kidnapped" by Kayla Perrin. In Fort Lauderdale Jamal crashes the wedding, abducts Nia before vows are exchanged, he is determined to prove to her that there's no better man for her than him. This story was interesting but ended up being another story that was unrealistic to me. I respect Kayla's work but I felt it could have been better. There were a lot of touchy moments between these two as well as the craze.
The characters again were interesting, story lines were captivating but most importantly the book was soundly written. I couldn't put it down at all it was full of love, lust, lies, pain, happiness and some big time freaks in love. In the other hand if you're looking for raw, raunchy sex scenes, sorry, this book has WAY more substance than that. "The Best Man" is really a fantastic book especially for those lazy weekends.

four fine erotic contemporary romances
25 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
"The Hunter" by Brenda Jackson. In San Diego private investigator Hunter wants to refuse the case because he fears how his client Mallory makes him feel. She ended their four months affair six months ago because he was not ready for a commitment. Now she wants him to investigate her brother-in-law who she fears is cheating on her sister after seeing him at the Hilton.
"Just Wanna Love Ya" by Joylynn Jossel. In Cincinnati, every Friday night Jai and her girlfriend Rissa go to Club Cream. This Friday night is different as she meets Sloan, who overtly shows how much he desires her.
"Never Satisfied" by Kayla Perrin. In Toronto, Amani still fantasizes over her high school senior year teacher Aaron although a decade has passed. No man she has met before or since measures up to him, but although he was not much older than her he rejected her advances. Now he is in Coffee, Tea, and Me where she works and the reality is even better than the fantasy.
"Fantasy Man" by Tamara Sneed. In Los Angeles in support of her family's firm, Olivia reluctantly serves as PR specialist to Hollywood action hero Clark. He prefers not to have her as his escort as she has been outrageously rude to him at her family gatherings. However, they both are stuck as her brother's wife is about to give birth and her parents are in Africa.
These four erotic contemporary romances entertain the audience with minor but fun conflict and plenty of heat between the likable couples.

Up All Night!
3 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
That's exactly what I was doing trying to finish this book! I must admit that I had a pre-conceived notion that it would be good and was not let down at all!
BJ's "The Hunted" was sweet and erotic all at once.
JJ's "Just Wanna Love Ya" was refreshing, an urban twist to erotica that I found very enjoyable.
KP's "Never Satisfied" was just that. I wasn't satisfied, I wanted this to be a full fledged novel!
TS's "Fantasy Man" I really enjoyed, especially the barn scene! I'm about to visit me a farm.
Each author delivers a very sensual tale with interesting storylines.

Just a few comments
28 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
This book comes with an erotic caution.
Brenda Jackson: "The Hunter" - Mallory & Hunter broke up 6 mos. ago because she wanted more and now she thinks her sister's husband is cheating so she hires him to investigate. Fate gives Hunter another chance to win the woman he couldn't forget. 5*
Joylynn Jossel: "Just Wanna Love Ya" - Interracial Romance characters are BW/IM meet at bar while hanging out with friends. Jai's best friend is white and claims Sloane at first sight to be the man she's marrying--Sloane wants Jai which causes animosity between the two "best" friends. Though, Sloane's behind closed doors love for Jai was disappointing he redeems himself.. somewhat 3*
Kayla Perrin: "Never Satisfied" - Rachel is divorced, she just broke up with her maybe borderline psycho boyfriend-Earl and her ex-teacher whom she had a crush on 10 yrs. ago re-enters her life. This was OK, but the Earl plot seemed incomplete 3*
Tamara Sneed: "Fantasy Man" - Great story, both characters hide their attraction until the a limo ride brings them up close and personal. There are a few editing errors but other than that I give it 5*
These are short stories which I don't mind reading (if I'm in the mood for something quick) as long as it's complete story. Different strokes for different folks, I enjoyed reading all 4, was never bored and even after reading the caution I was surprised at just how erotic these stories were.
