"Forever Mine" by J. L. Campbell

My Sentiments:

'Forever Mine' was a sweet romance featuring Shevaugh and Scott, who started after meeting at a conference. And finding out they didn't want any involvement with each other than... the fact they had both been through a bad relationship and didn't want to jump into anything too serious. However, what will happen as things change for Scott when he starts having feelings for Shevaugh? Will this be a good thing, especially with Scott's drama that was all around him with his ex-fiancee[Lucy]? I will say Shevaugh's daughter was quite a trip...leaving me to say, wow! Angel, the [daughter], had quite a mouth on her...being so spoiled! At times, I was left wondering if Scott understood Vaughn's predicament as a single mom with many past hurts that she had endured from her ex-husband, Nolan. What happened when Scott left Vaughn without explaining why he was going?

Be really for a story with not only drama but 'betrayal, hope, dreams, deception, intrigue, heartbreak.' Will these two finally find true love? This will be a good read to pick up and see if these two will indeed come to a good ending after all is said and done.

My Assessment:

'Fear Me' was the 'explosive conclusion of River and Tatum's love story.' What secret will Tatum keep from River that will present quite a few problems around her, especially for River? This author gives the reader a heck of the story; after all, it is said and done that River was always there for Tatum no matter what she had going on.

To fully understand 'Fear Me,' an AMBA Second Chance Romance, Beautiful Rage Book 2, the reader should read the first book in this series...'Fear None' an AMBW Romantic Suspense...Beautiful Rage Book 1. You will not be sorry because both stories fit together so very well.

"Rare Danger" by Beverly Jenkins

My Opinion:

'Rare Danger' was an enjoyable read that kept a smile on your face mainly throughout the read, especially after Jasmine and Torr meet. What will this librarian Jasmine have that Torr was interested in that brought them together? It was quite a read with twists and turns all over the place, finding out how important the book had been stolen from Timbuktu. This rare book had been stolen and was the center of the plot involving certain characters who knew Jasmine and her family. With all that was going on and Torr finding out that his brother Kil's name had come up in this investigation, along with Jasmine, what would he do? Oh, Kil had gotten Torr to contact Jasmine Ware because she owned Codex, where she located books for her clients. Torr had briefly met Jasmine during an altercation with someone she had been dating but didn't know that Jasmine was the person his brother had referred her to him. Was she involved in this mess? Which was funny meeting her at his office? Anyway, as the story continues, someone was murdered with their hands being cut off, and the partner decides to leave town. We are given quite a story of how it all comes out. Will there be a story about these two [Jasmine and Torr] by the end getting together? The reader will have to pick up this good story and see if all will go well after the kidnapping that will involve someone Torr has become quite infatuated with.

I enjoyed the narration that this book presented. It was indeed done very well that brought out the story so very well to the reader. Would I recommend it? YES!

"DIMA" by Kenya Wright

My Opinion:

'Dima' was a good read that featured the alpha Dimitri and Rose.  We find Rose new in Paradise City had been brought there to investigate and expose the Diamond Syndicate in which Dimitri was the boss. So what happens when a serial killer starts killing off many of the members of the Dimi's syndicate, which will bring these two together. It seems that Rose was there to get information about this syndicate but was stopped in her tracks quickly by Dimitri.  The story was rather long, and I was left feeling that some important things were left unknown; however, it seemed like Rose and Dimi were made for each other, especially with their steamy sex scenes. There were a lot of scary characters that kept me turning the pages to see what was coming next for these gangs. Be ready for many twists and turns as 'Dima' will have it all there for the reader and an epilogue that will take one into the future.

"My Way to You" by Lyndell Williams

My Opinion:

"My Way to You" was a wonderfully romantic read featuring an interracial relationship between Simon [Asian American and Regina [Afro American]. The story had you from the beginning with all of its intense and sensual scenes that will keep one turning the pages to see what was coming next for these two. I loved Regina's confidence in the story and Simons because he knew what he wanted. But will these cultures be able to come together in an actual relationship? And what about Regina's brother and Simon's best friend, Marcus? Why was this such a problem for Marcus?

The author did an excellent job with the 'integrated social issues dealing with racism, angst, and interracial dating while still bringing in one particularly horrible person. However, I am still not sure he got all that was coming to him.

So. how will this story end with all of its twists and turns of interracial love between these two successful people? You will have to pick up "My Way to You" to see how well this author brings it all out in this excellent read.
