To Have . . . Ought to come with oven mitts!!
26 May 2004
By Cynthia Jeffries
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I admit it!! I am addicted to Sims' novels and I refuse to recover! Her work is unbelieveably smooth, succinct and full of SIN-sual pleasures, but To Have And To Hold is, without question, the SEXIEST novel that Ms. Sims has written. After the third reading, I confess that I will never be a recovering Sims' novel junkie.
Of course, her work always has an excellent plot, other characters to keep us entertained, mystery to keep us on the edge, romance to make us swoon, twists and unexpected turns to keep us guessing, all hallmarks of a great Sims novel; but what puts the cherry on this icing (please pardon the pun, I really couldn't help myself)is how a man and woman LOVE each other. Not just "LOVE" each other, but HOT! STICKY! XXXX-rated L O V E!! KAN-NI-GIT-A-WITNES?!
WARNING!!
IF YOU READ THIS BOOK, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK
TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM WORK
READ IT WHILE IN AN ICEBOX
KEEP ALL YOUNG CHILDREN OUT OF THE AREA FOR 24 HOURS
ALERT YOUR PARTNER TO THE DANGERS OF BEING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY WHILE YOU READ
USE OVEN MITTS TO TURN THE PAGES
TAKE THIS WARNING SERIOUSLY!!

To Have and To Hold
26 July 2004
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
'To have and to hold' are words archaeologist Solange Dupree had
virtually pushed to the back of her mind. And there was good reason
to feel that way, or so she thought.
Solange was engaged to a man who wanted to leave a legacy and when he
learns she could not have children he ended the engagement. She divorces
herself of amorous feelings and becomes engrossed in her work. While
on a dangerous trip to Ethiopia, Solange meets insurance investigator
Rupert Giles, and finds a man who fulfills her dreams. Rupert is not
concerned that she has a medical condition, so for Solange love is
renewed and she has a five-carat diamond on her ring finger as evidence
of his love.
But Rupert has a secret, and the repercussions from it could cost them
more than their love, it could end their lives. Solange finds out
Rupert is something other than an insurance investigator, and that
someone is trying to kill her and she is filled with apprehension. When
her ex-fiancé resurfaces, she and Rupert must confront their fear of
never exchanging vows and finding their happily-ever-after.
Again Ms. Sims has blended an excellent combination of science, intrigue
and romance in a way that puts readers on the edge of their seats as
they root for the culmination of an age-old ritual. The story is tender
and erotic, and readers will realize TO HAVE AND TO HOLD has taken
emotional and physical romance to another level. Those familiar with her
writing will not be disapointed and readers new to the fold will enjoy a
sensual tale.

The sexiest book of all times
13 Jun 2004
By Tonia
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have been an avid reader of Mrs.Sims' books for as long as I can remember and I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed to date.To Have and to Hold has to be THE sexiest,MOST loving book of all times.I cried and laughed out loud so much during my read,that my husband took the book away from me.After he finished reading it himself,he returned it.Needless to say,he liked the bathroom scene.P
I have read plenty of books but To Have and to Hold has been a more satisfying read.It lacked nothing.You had your suspense,romance,comedy and the best sex scenes I have ever read.The only thing I hate is to see Rupert,Solange and Desta leave.I have shared this book with co-workers who have also become fans of Mrs.Sims.
It's my opinion that Janice is unrivaled in talent and I think that she deserves whatever awards and praise she receives.All of her books have been wonderful,but To Have and To Hold is in a class of its own.You are not only getting a good book to read,you are developing some kind of relationship with the characters.When I first read To Have and To Hold,I felt the hurt and the anger as well as the joy and love.Each read only got better.Janice is a great person who writes great books and I can hardly wait for the next adventure.
