I am a avid reader of Melanie Schuster and have waited almost two years for this latest installment of the Cochran/Deveraux. I was deeply disappointed with her effort.

As a life long resident of New Orleans I was glad to see my beloved city the focal part of the book but, that is where my adoration for this book ends.

I found the character's flat lacking in true depth. The story developed unlike all the previous books. What I loved most about Melanie's book is that you saw the couple court and fall in love. It was never a matter of days or even weeks, but a real true life relationship. In each of the prior books there was always some challenge the couple must over come to make the relationship work. Be it the lost of a child, a betrayal, an accident or a secret son. The trial in this relationship was barley a blip on the radar.

This book was also the shortest in the series. I pray in the book to come that the next Deveraux in line to marry will be what I have come to love.

Editorial Review:

The men of the prominent Deveraux clan knew plenty about romance, and Lucien Deveraux was the biggest player of all. But that changed after Hurricane Katrina devastated his beloved city. Now Lucien's ready to dedicate himself to one woman: Nicole Argonne. Trouble is, Nicole has no time for what she calls "pretty men." If Lucien wants her, he needs to prove himself…and Nicole's not going to make it easy.

Lucien is sexy, smart and charming—just like the man who broke Nicole's heart before. But Lucien has his own plan to win her. And when his scheming ex arrives in town, Nicole must decide whether she has the courage to trust again.…

Editorial Review:

As Senator Braddock's only daughter Shondra Braddock seemed to have it all: brains, beauty and the bank account of an heiress. But she didn't have answers. Determined to discover the connection between Stewart Industries and her father's death, Shondra accepted a job working for Connor Stewart, the company's blue-eyed, blond-haired CEO. But rugged and daring Connor was more man than Shondra could handle, and before long her undercover mission exploded into a secret, jet-setting affair that spanned the globe. Shondra might just be willing to risk her big brothers learning about her interoffice, interracial romance to uncover the truth. But when all of her secrets were revealed, would she risk losing it all?

Finding Love Again 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is a wonderful novel about the power of love and what it means to really work at rebuilding a relationship when the romance has soured. Felicia and Ty had to find their way back to one another after years of putting their marriage on hold. Felicia had to make some tough decisions and learn to put her wants and needs first. Ty had to figure out what was really important in life. Together they had to fight for the love they once knew.

I liked that this novel focused on a married couple and gave us a glimpse at love AFTER the happily-ever-after. A. C. Arthur does a wonderful job and bringing tenderness and passion to Ty and Felicia's story. The love scenes where steamy and very emotional. A. C. Arthur certainly gives us something we can feel with this installment to the Braddock Family Series. I enjoyed this novel and can't wait to see how the series wraps up. Wonderful job, Ms. Arthur! Kudos!

Editorial Review:

Except for one passion-filled night after his father's funeral, Ty and Felicia Braddock's marriage had been cold for years. Now Felicia was pregnant…and unwilling to bring a child into a home with a workaholic, absentee father. She wanted a divorce, but for their child's sake Ty demanded she give their vows a second chance. But the challenging vixen Felicia had become was nothing like the sweet-tempered, predictable woman he remembered. More and more the driven financial executive found himself wanting to spend less time at the office and more time making love to his oh-so-desirable wife.…

Felicia desperately wanted their marriage to work. But would their newfound desire be enough to make her husband the family man that she and their baby needed?

Well, I'm not sure about this one! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

First, I have to say that I have read every one of Darrien Lee's books and I LOVE every one of them, except.....this one! I LIKED this one! Sorry! I just thought it was weak on substance and lacked real drama! The characters that I love were just to sweet and the men were too weak! Don't get me wrong, I love romance; but, something was missing in here! I don't know....It was just hard for me to get into Nichole and Damon when Damon was Arnelle's reject! Then, Damon becomes friends with Winston! Come on, Please! I guess we need to end this storyline because all of the characters from book 1 thru 5 have lived happily ever after! Let's get some new characters. Darrien, I love you and I will continue to read your books. Craig, Venice, Arnelle, Winston, Meridan and Keaton were some of my favorite characters; but, I don't think Nichole and Damon fit in their inter-cirlce.

Another good one 5 out of 5 stars.

I have read all of Darrien Lee's books, and I have enjoyed every last one of them. I love that all of her stories lead up to a happy ending. This book was good from start to finish. There Wasn't any chapter where I was waiting for it to be over. No boring part to skip over. It is well worth the five stars that I have given it.

Editorial Review:

New York Times bestselling author Mary B. Morrison sizzles with her edgy, new novel Who's Loving You. When Honey Thomas receives a sudden stroke of good luck, she gets a second chance--and the man of her dreams. But as Honey is about to discover, anything worth having in life comes with a high price...

After police officer Sapphire Bleu steals $100,000,000 from seedy pimp Valentino James, she gives half of the money to prostitute and madam Honey Thomas. Now with her pimp in jail and enough money to make a fresh new start, Honey can leave her old life behind in Vegas and begin a new life in Atlanta, where she hopes to fulfill her dream of opening a counseling center to help victimized women. And if that weren't enough blessings to count, Honey's in love with her man Grant Hill. But just when Honey thinks she's finally getting a break, her past suddenly comes back to haunt her...

Handsome, upstanding Grant Hill is Honey's idea of perfection. He's sweet, tender, and can make love to her long into the late hours of the night. No one has ever made her feel this way before. And she's certain, Grant is falling hard for her too--until his brother, Benito Bannister, tells him about Honey's days as a hooker. Stung by Honey's betrayal, Grant wants nothing more to do with her.

Devastated by Grant's rejection, Honey isn't ready to let go of the best thing that's ever happened to her. She's got to find a way to convince him of her love. But Benito is doing everything in his power to keep her from Grant--and he's got his own deadly agenda. Teaming up with Valentino, Benito devises a plan for getting back the pimp's money.

With her life in danger, Honey goes on the run and in search of Sapphire Bleu, the only person who can help her. But when Sapphire Bleu turns up missing, Honey just might have to revert to her old tricks to save herself--and return to the only man she's ever loved...

Sweet Story 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I couldn't wait to get this book after discovering Francis Ray was writing more books regarding the Grayson's Friends. I loved the Shane Elliott character even when he was introduced in Dreaming of You and to know he finally met his match with Paige was to good. I loved the story, it was too sweet to read how hard it was for him to hold back until he could really have her. Great Story!!!

Editorial Review:

Nothing gets to Shane Elliott. A former Army Ranger, now head of security for a wealthy real estate tycoon, Shane can handle whatever life throws at him—until he meets the beautiful, kindhearted Paige Albright. She’s about to inherit a fortune, and Paige’s mother has asked Shane to investigate her boyfriend. It should have been a simple, standard assignment for Shane…if only Paige’s seductive mix of strength and vulnerability didn’t leave him wanting her for himself.

All her life, Paige has put others’ needs before her own, even going so far as choosing a man to please her father. Now her mother’s mysterious houseguest is tempting her to go after what she truly wants…even if it’s the cool, assertive, irresistible Shane himself. But is he who he appears to be? And how can Paige know whether to trust her own judgment—and their red-hot attraction?

Editorial Review:

Two years ago, geologist Corinthians Avery had brazenly sneaked into a hotel room to seduce Dex Madaris, head of Madaris Explorations and the longtime object of her affection. But the man who emerged from the shower to find Corinthians clad in next to nothing was handsome foreman Trevor Grant. When a smug Trevor informed her that Dex was not only absent from the trip, but at home happily married, Corinthians was mortified.

Now, stuck in South America on a business trip with Trevor, Corinthians tries to avoid him at all costs. If only his broad shoulders and wickedly sexy smile didn't send her senses into flames. Their hotel falls under terrorist attack, and Corinthians has no choice but to place her trust in Trevor. As the two make a daring escape into the war-torn streets, fear for their lives suddenly turns to feverish desire, as they both give in to the hottest danger of all. What neither of them realizes is that one sultry night of passion under the luminous Latin skies will change their lives forever….

Editorial Review:

Carl Weber--the New York Times bestselling author of The First Lady and So You Call Yourself a Man--represents with a straight-up novel about friendship and love, sex and betrayal, and how getting some on the side is never as simple as it seems...

Meet Tammy, Egypt, Isis, Nikki, Coco, and Tiny--the bodacious women of the Big Girls Book Club. There's only one rule to being a member. You must be at least a size 14...

BGBC president Tammy loves everything about her life--her two kids, her fierce friends, her BMW. She especially loves taking care of business for her husband, Tim, for whom she'd do anything. This year, she intends to top all his past birthdays by having a threesome with her best friend, Egypt. Now, if only Egypt will agree to grant them this very special favor...

Isis's boyfriend, Tony, romances her every chance he gets--and he knows how to turn up the heat, which makes Isis willing to lay down and die for him. That is until a man from her past steps back into her life--with only one goal in mind: win back the woman he's never been able to forget.

But not every BGBC member is lucky with men. Once upon a time, single mom Nikki would have made love to her man in the middle of Times Square for the entire country to see. Now that he's her ex, it takes everything she has not to kill him (or let her roommate, Tiny, do it for her), especially since he has a way of disappointing their son every chance he gets--and then making her look like the bad guy.

And then there's hot-to-trot Coco Brown, who has a habit of messing around with married men. It doesn't bother her, as long as they don't try to deny it. But now that she's hooked up with a man who makes his living being every woman's fantasy, all she cares about is making sure he doesn't stray.

As insatiable about books as they are about love--or lust--these friends are about to discover how tough it is to keep it real when they all have Something on the Side.

(3.5 Stars) Mixing Business and Pleasure 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Activist Malcolm Braddock wants to have nothing to do with what his recently deceased father stood for. Malcolm is the black sheep of the Braddock clan. When he learns that his father's executive assistant wants him to succeed his father, he is dead set against it. He is nothing like his father. Or is he? Gloria Kinsley, executive assistant to former Senator Braddock, has decided that Malcolm would be the best person to succeed his father as senator. She just has to figure out how she is going to convince him that he is the best man for the job. Gloria is going to have to use all of her feminine wilds along with her intelligence to persuade Malcolm to do what she knows he was destined to do.

Her Lover's Legacy was a good beginning to the Braddock series. It does a good job of introducing all of the characters and giving background information on their lives. It also sets up the plot behind what really happened to Senator Braddock. There are just enough unanswered questions to make you want to read the next book in the series to find out what will happen next. Her Lover's Legacy was a good introductory book.

Reviewed by Tenecia for Urban Reviews

Editorial Review:

Heir-apparent Malcolm Braddock may be the sexiest community activist under the Houston sun, but clearly he's met his match in Gloria Kingsley, the late senator Harmon Braddock's strikingly beautiful executive assistant. Both were recently spotted in a limo in a very…um…compromising position, and it appears Ms. Kingsley is influencing more than the brooding, lone-wolf bachelor's normally conservative sense of fashion (when she lets him stay dressed, of course!).

We can conclude that Gloria is on a mission to make No-Commitments-Malcolm her Mr. Right. But with rumors flying about Senator Braddock—and a few dirty little secrets that didn't die with him—can she get Malcolm to secure his father's mantle as well?
