A Delightful Read!
9 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
Faith, Monique, and Shannon have been friends since they were teenagers. When their close friend commits suicide, they decide to spend the summer at a Hilton Head beach house. The friends vow to make the most of their summer and to live life to the fullest. But meeting a man was not a part of their summer plans. Faith is very cautious with the men she meets until a sexy man name Shane offers to give her tennis lessons. Will she let her guard down? Monique lost her husband too soon and is still trying to move forward with her life. Monique becomes confused when a family friend Lyle wants to become more than friends. Shannon wants to do nothing but find her next conquest with no strings attached. Shannon may have met her match when she meets a mechanic name Adam that's willing to give her the tune up that she's looking for.
What A Woman Wants is a warm, titillating tale by Brenda Jackson. Jackson expertly weaves an excellent novel about hope, friendship, and love. I liked how each of the women in this story came to the beach house expecting one thing but the end result was totally different then what they expected. This author did a wonderful job of showing the gradual process of how each woman had to figure out what she wanted from a man and if she was ready for it. What A Woman Wants is a romantic and breezy read.

Love on Hilton Head
17 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
Cecilia Graham, for reasons unknown, decides her life was not worth living, so she commits suicide. Before her demise, she writes her three best friends letters admonishing them to "live each day to the fullest and do whatever they want to do to enjoy life and not live up to others' expectations and standards." The three friends decide to spend the summer at the place where their friendship began as teenagers, Hilton Head, SC. The beauty of the island and the quest to comply with Cecilia's wishes is Brenda Jackson's foundation in her latest novel, What a Woman Wants.
Once on the island, each of the women sets a goal to accomplish during their six-week stay. Widowed Monique decides that she would train for a marathon to be run at the end of the summer. Commitment shy Faith decides to learn to play tennis and Shannon decides on an affair to remember. Each woman claims they did not come to the island to find love or a man, but fate intervenes. Monique meets up with a doctor friend of her brother's whom she had a crush on since high school. Faith finds her tennis instructor to be irresistible. Shannon finds there is more to her mechanic than mind-blowing sex.
The ladies befriend their neighbor, Anna Ross Fuller. Readers of Brenda Jackson who remembers Anna and Zack Wainwright from the Ties that Bind will be happy to know the couple finds love in this novel. Dr. Lyle Montgomery, the brother of Lance Montgomery from the Playa's Handbook and No More Playas, also finds love on Hilton Head. Some of Jackson's minor characters in her other books make cameo appearances. Technically, this story was to be contemporary fiction, but in my opinion, it was more of a romance. I actually rated the book a 3.5, because at times I found the novel to drag. I am sure Ms. Jackson's fans as well as romance lovers will enjoy this book.

GREAT BOOK!!!!
6 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed this book. I especially enjoyed revisiting characters from Ties That Bind, that is my all-time favorite BJ book. I agreed with the other review that stated that Shannon and Adam jumped into something a little too fast without knowing all the facts but I do admit it was HOT!!!! I wish we had spent a little more time with Zach and Anna, there story was good but kind of rushed compared to the others. But all in all it was a great book.
