Monica Jackson spins a dark tale of political intrigue that will keep you locked into the pages until the very end. --Phoebe Imel

Ms. Jackson pens a romance tale that whets our appetites for more of the same. I personally have ordered all the rest of her books and look forward to reding them with as much enthusiasm as this one. --Betty Holloway

This was a wonderful story by Ms. Jackson. I wanted to re-read this story right before I picked up Tiffany's story Never Too Late For Love.--Sean D. Young

~Excerpt~Someone jarred his back hard enough to send the drink flowing over his fingers where it disappeared into his immaculate white shirt. Brent swung around to face two soft breasts that had been momentarily pressed against him.
They belonged to a woman with an exotic, but softly beautiful face. Her black hair was pulled into a sleek chignon, and her lips were full and moist. She had flawless deep brown skin, a shade somewhere between chocolate and cinnamon. It would feel like velvet, he thought. Coffee-colored eyes sparkled up at him.
He couldn’t look away and dismiss her as he’d already dismissed countless come-ons from women since the party started. Totally appealing and somehow familiar, she was delicious.
“You spilled your drink,” she said, her voice low and cultured. “I’m so sorry.”
Brent nodded.
She made no move to leave. “I’m Kara Smith.” The woman sipped her champagne. She glanced around the room then focused on him. “Are you planning to stay here much longer, Mr. Stevens?”
So, she knows me, he thought. Brent searched his memory for a moment, but couldn’t place her. He decided to join in the game. She excited him. With an amused twist of his lips, he said, “Not if I can find something more interesting to do.”
A shell-pink tongue darted out and moistened her lips. It wasn’t a nervous gesture, but rather a slow, provocative, studied one. She was hot. Extremely hot. Her scent intoxicated. He moved imperceptibly closer.
Her lush figure was voluptuously feminine, not like the tightly coiled, fashionably thin and athletic women he was used to. He was definitely interested.
Brent waited for her to make the next move, and she didn’t fail him.
“I know of some much more interesting amusements,” she said.

A great story. 7 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you like intrigue, scandalous family secrets, and mystery then you've stumbled across the right book. Kara has plans to destroy Congressman Eastman, the father she never knew who abandoned her mother before she was born. Along the way she never planned to fall head over hills in love with his assistant Brent, nor did she plan to get so involved with the Eastman family she so desperately wanted to hate. Kara bit off more than she could chew when she got mixed up with this zany family that brought new meaning to the word Dysfunctional. It's a great ride, on an adventurous roller coaster of lies, deceit, love, and forgiveness.

In my opinion, Ms Jackson is among the finest authors I've had the pleasure to read. Her characters are real and believable. The beginning hook brought tears to my eyes. Kara's mother believed her sacrifice would help the man she loved and that was touching. Kara and Brent are realistic heroine and hero, and I was happy they got together. I don't agree with one reviewer that the senator wouldn't have done the things he did. That person is not living in the real world. I want to read everything Monica Jackson has written. It's about time an author came along who dared break the romance mold and write really terrific novels.

You Won't Put It Down 6 July 1998

Heart's Desire was a terrific book. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and the overall pace. I read the entire book in only two sittings. That's a miracle for me (Actually a first).

"Fear is the opposite of love," Taylor said. "When someone acts hatefully it's always because of fear. Human fears of not having enough, of losing, of being denied. When you obey because of the bad things they'll do to you, instead of being secure in love that they'd never harm you, I'd say that's fear." &quote;
