By 

Bonita L. Davis - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bands of Gold (Arabesque) (Paperback)

Christina Marshall has got it together! Young, ambitious and Black this powerhouse of a woman intends to be a mover and shaker in her career field. Her success in turning around the mismanaged company of Orion resulted in her promotion to steer the helm of OPTIMA the premier subsidary of Communications Limited. She has it all but emotionally she finds herself empty. She yearns for more than what a career, house and new locale in Atlanta can offer.

Jackson Duncan is another up and coming young Black man who is destined to be a star at Optima. Attractive, sensual and cropped short wavy hair, the women at Optima can not help but to notice him. In fact, his new boss Christina eyes him now and again. When the two meet sparks begin to fly, and egoes begin to clash. Are these two ambitious colleagues able to discover life's true priorities and love? Come read and see how this relationship develops.

Angela Benson presents us with a sensitive and sensual romance of two young Black professions who have to cope with office politics, resentments, well kept secrets and pressures on the job. As they try to develop a personal relationship beyond the materialism that their jobs offer they find that they must let go things from their past. You will see their joys, fears and secrets revealed as they open themselves up to the possibility of finding true love. Enjoy this wonderfully crafted African-American romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY, January 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bands of Gold (Arabesque) (Paperback)

If it were possible, I would give this book ten stars. I've read some great romance novels in the past. But, nothing like Bands of Gold. There was something different about this book. Bands of Gold was the first book I've read by the author. Since I enjoy it so much, I've decided to get her whole collection.
