Extremely Outstanding!!,
By
This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Often times it is difficult for the first-time author to make an impression on readers. It's like moving out of your family home to your first apartment, you want to show your family you can make it on your own.Well, the debut novel for Niobia Bryant, shows us that she has stepped out here and demonstrated to us, she has just what it takes to make it as a successful author. I am quite impressed with Admission of Love for these reasons: well developed storyline, great characters, lots of humor, displayed love for family, lots of sizzling sensual love scenes a herione that takes no stuff with a strong hero to deal with and such a joy using dialouge from the other side with the deceased family members. Chloe Bolton, super-model decides to retire and relocated to her mothers' home in South Carolina where she comes face to face with her hero Devon Jamison who happens to have an identical twin brother name Deshawn. Now, you know the rules, I cannot give the story plot away, but trust me on this book...It is sooooo good and you won't want to put the book down until you finish it. I loved all aspects of this book that sometimes was like one step forward and two steps back with Devon and Chloe. I also enjoyed the special dialouge the author uses with those family members who have died being like the special guardian angels, that seemed to add a special touch for me personally. Niobia, you did an outstanding performance on your debut book and I feel a sequel in the make on this one, don't ask me how, you just got to read this book and find out the answer for yourself. Looking forward to your next one!!

Yes, yes, yes those Jamison Twins are something else!!,
This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
I agree with Crytal, five is definitely not enough! Ok, this is one of arabesque's best novels for the month of August. I absolutely loved this story. Chloe and Devon were great together. I laughed so much reading this book. "Admission of Love" was a very refreshing read. I loved Chloe's character, she really knows how go after her man. Devon put up a good fight, but was no match for the lovely wills Chloe put on him! The storyline for this book was one of my favorites, if not my favorite! The idea behind two people really not liking each other when they initially meet, but passionate sparks fly between anyway is so good to me! This book really did remind me of my favorite book of all times "Fire and Desire" by Brenda Jackson. That really means a lot coming from a die hard fan of Jackson's. The girl can really throw down on some paper!! A very extremelly, I mean great read! Nice job Bryant!!

Five stars is not enough!!,
This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
For a new author Ms. Bryant did an excellant job on this book. I was hesitant at first but after reading the reviews I set out this weekend to read it. Well let me tell you I lost much needed sleep because I could not put this book down. Chloe and Devon were like someone you know. And Nana Lil was too funny. She had some true one liners.This story was good from beginning to the end. You will not, let me repeat will not be disappointed with this one. Run don't walk to the nearest store and get this one. I think Deshawn and Anika should have a story next. Good job Niobia. I can't wait for you next one.

What a Love!,

This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Chloe a beautiful & wealthy fashion model was tired of the fast life. She yearned for something more stable. She decides to take the land she inherited in Holtsville, South Carolina and build herself a home. She was very disappointed at finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. It was definitely time to go. She didn't anticipate faling hopelessly in love with the stubborn, but fine Devon Jamison. Devin and his twin brother DeShawn would be building her home. Devon Jamison didn't like flashy real beautiful women. He was instantly disgusted with Chloe. He had her all summed up, before he got to know her. He had an old girlfriend that was beautiful and ridiculous. He felt Chloe couldn't be any different than her. BOY WAS HE WRONG! Chloe was not only beautiful, but could cook and was really a deep person. Devon didn't want to admit his growing attraction to her, but Chloe on the other hand did notice her attraction to him. She set out to get just what she wanted HIM. This was a wonderful family drama with a down home flavor. I believe this is Niobia's first book and she did a great job. If you are skeptical about getting this one, give it a try. I liked it!

This book goes on my read over and over again shelf,
This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
All I have to say is, "Run right out and buy this book". I really enjoyed this story. It was so good. This book was light and very easy to read. The characters were so real and reminded me of people I know. I could see a lot of myself in this female character.The story is about Chloe, the beautiful supermodel, who has retired due to burnout. She's also tired of NY, so she has decided to build a house in her mom's hometown of Holtsville, SC. The rugged, handsome, fine, construction worker/builder/architect Devon is building her house. Devon has no respect for supermodels. He thinks they are airheads strung out on drugs. So, when he and Chloe meet, not only do the sparks fly, but so does the name calling. Chloe knows what she wants (Devon) and is not afraid to go after it. There are so many funny lines in this story. I really enjoyed reading this book. Chloe says things like, "If you don't keep my name out of your mouth..." That sounds just like something I would say. Or "What the devil is wrong with you?" She also has a down to earth, tell it like it is best friend. Like we all have. Then there is Nana Lil, Devon's grandmother. She is such a lovable character who speaks her mind and sounds nothing like the grandmothers I know. At one point in the book, she knocks on the door and yells out, "You two are mighty quiet in there. Whatever it is you're doing, don't need to be done in my room!" That was too funny. Just like any good romance story, there is someone in the background secretly in love with your man, plotting to steal him behind your back. Okay, okay, I'll say no more. Just read the book. Did I mention the love scenes? One word, "HOT"! Great job Niobia. I am so looking forward to your next book.

Love's That Destined,
This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Niobia debut novel Admission Of Love is an extremely attractive novel as it takes you through the depths of what love and jealousy can do to someone.Chloe Bolton was a down to earth supermodel everyone around her knew that but those looking at her from the outside only could form their thoughts. Devon Jamison and his twin Deshawn Jamison have been given the chance to build Chloe's new home in Holtsville, South Carolina but he had formed ideas of Chloe before even meeting her so when they meet trouble is in the air with a large "T." As the story unfolds you, begin to see the passion unfold as Chloe & Devon fight their past to move to their future. Niobia writes an excellent story bringing her characters to life. Admission Of Love was a joy to read.

sent from heaven above...,
This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
chloe and devon were the cutest and funniest couple i ever read about in an arabesque novel. and nana lil was full of nothing but love. she played cupid for the two blind love birds (chloe and devon). i learned that you just can't fight love in this novel, it nearly brought me to tears, and that's saying a lot for me. a very good read, even though you may get a little frustrated with the way chloe and devon act sometimes, you'll still be hooked enough to keep turning the pages. ENJOY!

Admission of Love,
By T. Daniels (North Little Rock, AR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Admission of Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved it and I wish I could contact the author Niobia Bryant. If there is anyone out there who can contact her, please tell her to work on the twin's sequel. I read that book in 2 hours because I couldn't put it down. I hope she writes about the heroine's friend Anika and the hero's twin brother Deshawn.
