Chocolate Goodies,
By
This review is from: Chocolate Goodies (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Coco Stanley is the owner of a high end chocolate specialty shop. A new business opens up across the street and she has already passed judgement because she hears what she thinks is loud hip hop music and kids going there wearing baggy jeans. She thinks it is a music store and that it will ruin the area and bring gangs around. She finds that it is actually a alternative school for young men to help them get their homework done and to stay out of trouble and out of gangs. Ransom Winters is a self made millionaire and compassionate youth counselor who owns and runs the place he has named the D-Unit. They finally meet after he goes to her families business the Stanley Chocolates factory to talk to her brother about what the D-Unit is and asks if some of the young men can work there part-time. Sparks fly and she listens to what his school is all about, she begins to change her opinion about the youth that go there. A near tragedy happens and she blames Ramsey and his students for the incident. In the end it all works out though. I especially loved this story because it brings back the Ramsey clan from past books. It brings you up to date on Prescott Jr., Garret, Laine, Ray, Ivy, Kaitlin, Jillian, Nyle, Allura and Elle. I loved that series and you will love the circumstances that brings this family together again in this book.

Horrid!,

This review is from: Chocolate Goodies (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is just a horrible, horrible, horrible book. unrealistic... not the plot but the chemistry. who talks like this and interacts like this? they were both so stiff. I could almost picture someone standing behind with a gun saying, "fall in love or i'm going to shoot your brains out!" it was THAT forced!DO NOT buy this book for any reason. it's not worth the brain cells you will lose.

The story of Ransom and Coco has to be one of the best of the Kimani Romances that I have read. Romantic, sensual and endearing. The fact that Coco was able to give Ransom the one thing he longed for was awesome. She completed everything for him. Their relationship seemed real and not as melodramtic as some other romances can be. And Ransom sticking to his guns as a Christian man really showed what he was about. Loved every moment of it.
