Brenda Jackson has graced us with another family to fall in love with. This time it is the Steele Family - men worthy of loving and who are honor bound with family values worth fighting for. In Solid Soul, we meet Chance Steele, who is a widower with a teen age son. Chance is thrown into a meeting with Kylie Hagan, his son's Marcus' new friend, Tiffany's mother. Marcus and Tiffany decide it is way past time that their parents start dating again. Therefore, they concoct an imaginary love story between Marcus and Tiffany, knowing how Chance and Kylie feel about teenagers getting seriously involved. However, Marcus and Tiffany's plan works out just right for them when the tray is turned and their parents, Chance and Kylie fall into the web of love. Kylie is reluctant at first to become involved with Chance or any other man, but Chance is not just any other man -- he is a Steele, who knows what he wants, goes after what he wants, and does not give up until he has accomplished his goal.
This is an exciting, sometimes funny, but also very serious story of love and romance and family issues. I love the way Ms. Jackson ties in the real life issues in her stories and this one is no exception. After reading Solid Soul, you are bound to look forward to seeing what happens with the other Steeles and find out which Steele man is next to fall in the love. The second book in the Steele series is Night Heat, a story of fiery and sizzling love.
