Book Description

Series: Kimani Romance | Publication Date: January 1, 2007

The Sister-Girl Makeover

Why would a thirtysomething, big-boned beauty like Chere Adams plunge headfirst into an extreme mind-and-body makeover? To get a man, of course! The bubbly diva-in-the-making has got her eye on Flamingo Place's newest hunk and fitness fanatic, Quentin Abrahams. But after weeks of early-morning aerobics, celery sticks, elocution lessons and self-help courses, Chere is beginning to think that all her best efforts are being wasted. The more she tries to be Quentin's dream girl, the less he seems to notice her.

Could it be that Quentin is more interested in the old Chere -- the sexy sister with the outrageously flirty style, dangerous curves and bubbly personality?

This review is from: All About Me (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the weakest romance novels I've ever read. Ms. King-Gamble really needs to take notes from such great authors like Rochelle Alers, Brenda Jackson and Berverly Jenkins because her writing style of character development and storyline were not up to par. I am dissapointed because this story had so much potential. I will finish the last few chapters, but it's going to be hard.

"All About Me" by Marcia King-Gamble is a fairly interesting tale about a woman, Chere Adams, who is on a mission to change her physical appearance in hopes that it will help her gain the attention of the man that she has had her sights fixed on for some time. Chere seriously wants Quentin "Quen" Abrahams who also happens to be the physical trainer overseeing her body "makeover". Chere has been attracted to Quen for some time, but has finally decided to get her body in the shape that she thinks will attract his attention and affection. Chere also wants improvements in her work situation and is making strategic moves to get the recognition and promotion she deserves while also initiating new ventures and attempting a "homegirl" makeover through diction/speaking classes.

Chere's biological clock is ticking and she wants the life she always dreamed of and is moving full stem ahead to make her dreams a reality. Unfortunately, Quen seems to be taking less notice as she drops the pounds instead of more and as his ex tries to move back into his heart. Chere is determined to figure out what's keeping him from seeing her as the woman he needs. While a reasonably interesting story line lies behind this novel, somehow the character development and dialogue never fully pulled this reviewer deep into the novel. Chere was first introduced in King-Gamble's "Flamingo Place". For those who may have read that book and may be interested in what came of Chere and the other characters from "Flamingo Place", this may be a reasonably good beach read. However, I didn't read that book and just wasn't fully taken in by the characters in this tale.

This review is from: All About Me (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Chere was introduced in book one of the series. The larger than life character gets her own story and we see the real her behind the jokes and loud clothes playing up to the stereotype of fat jolly girl. Once again this is not really about the romance and more about the humour in the story. This plot would make good tv!
