Bands of Gold by Angela Benson

My next review will about Bands of Gold by Angela Benson, so far it is going okay and I am half way through with it.
If you have a book that you would like for me to read, please send me the title and the author and I will try to pick it up. Just a warning I do not read street lit, if you think you can persuade me otherwise that is cool but I won’t spend my own money on it. So you can mail me the book and I will read it and review and send it back.

A Risky Affair

A great read!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was impressed by the depth of the characters Solange Washington and Dane Roarke. It was a great story, and I don’t want to give too much of the story away. But I was very surprised by the way Crandall Thorne handled his issues and his past with Tessa.
My favorite character is Daniela because she reminds me of two women I consider my best friends. I would have to say you should pick up this book as soon as possible.
Okay Maureen I believe I have read all of your books so you have a reputation to maintain with me. Please keep them coming.

Favorite Books by Francine Craft

Since I told you in my previous post that Designed for Passion was not my favorite read by Ms. Craft I am going to tell about the books I loved by her.
1. Born to Love you - this book has suspense, murders and love all in one. I hesitate to say this one is my absolute favorite because there are a few more that I will never part with because they were so good.
2. Like this one, Passion’s Fool, which I will go on a limb and state is my favorite of all of the books that I read from her.
But I realized today that she has several books that I was not aware of and I just placed a order with Amazon so that I can get caught up. The Way You Make Me Feel is on my list to read as soon as I receive it.
And for those that have asked, No I don’t think Ms. Craft was rude in her response to my blog. Until my next blog, read on

Suddenly Single by Carmen Green

I just finished reading Suddenly Single and I loved it, Ms. Green did not disappoint with this one. Although I did not realize that this was apart of the Crawford series until Shayla appeared in the story, I love stories that are apart of a series.
At times I could have strangled Trina for being so selfish. It was a good read and Reno of course was my favorite character because he loved his little girl so much and would have done anything for her to speak to him.
I loved the closeness of the family and the way Trina handled the ex-fiance.
This story was a good one and not predictable at all. And I give it 5 out of 5 smileys

Designed for Passion

I just finished this book last night and for the first time I was not really happy with a book by Francine Craft. Don't get me wrong this is not going in my give away box (which is reserved for books that I absolutely hated). As with most books I read this book in about four hours (last night) the first thing that ticked me off was that Meloyde was self conscious which was so sterotypical, (please note some of us love being thick and fabulous) there was no real description of her other than the comments that Jim kept making about her. The lame excuse her mother gave for treating her so badly and then to only slap her again with an off handed remark about Lucia wanting Jim sucked. I wanted her to go off on her mother and her sister. She stood up to Jim when he was just trying to love her but not to the two heifers who caused her pain. She said nothing even when Lucia told her that she was sleeping with Rafael and that the money was intended for her. Next time I hope that Ms. Craft makes her plus sized character a little more fierce. I will rate this book 3 out of 5 smiley faces mostly because of the character Jim and the way he was protrayed. I could close my eyes and see his reactions to certain things. Ms. Craft made him real as could be, and because Papa France and Miss Belle got together to.
