All the Reasons to Love... Just One More Time, October 29, 2007
This review is from: Deadly Sexy (Mass Market Paperback)
Jessi Teresa Black is Los Angeles' toughest and sexiest sports agent. JT or Lady T is able to negotiate contracts, quote players' stats, play a mean game of Playstation Madden football and keep her sometime, overprotective, multimillion dollar, clients in line without breaking a sweat. Every available bachelor, and some married men, have tried to win the hand of Lady T but no one has been able to match wits with her until she meets Reese Anthony.
While driving an eighteen-wheeler on California's I-5 to San Francisco, Reese stops to help what appeared to be a damsel in distress. He quickly learned that not only was she beautiful but she was also very knowledgeable of sports and cars. Reese offered JT a ride back to Oakland and the sparks immediately began to ignite. But, there was more to Reese. He was not just your average truck driver. He was actually an ex-Chicago cop turned attorney, who is also the CEO of his family's international trucking company. Reese was also offered a position as head of the NFL's Security division to investigate a murder. Little did he know, he would also have to protect JT as well.
Beverly Jenkins has put together another winning story of two very confident people who must learn to trust and take a chance on each other. The reader immediately becomes involved in the romance of Reese and JT from their first encounter. Ms. Jenkins was able to build their relationship as Reese tried to solve a murder that could cause great damage to the NFL league. The bonus to the story - a sound track from Frankie Beverly and Maze. Throughout the story, Frankie Beverly and Maze was referenced with his golden voice. Ms. Jenkins fans will also love that she has connected both characters to previous characters, Jessi Rose and Griffin Blake, and The House of LeVeq, from her historical novels.
You can not go wrong with reading any book by Beverly Jenkins and music accompanied by Frank Beverly.

a teacher's sick day..., December 22, 2007
This review is from: Deadly Sexy (Mass Market Paperback)
I felt awful... A darling student gave me the flu, but I have never been so glad to have a sick day (and the leisure time to read)! I read Deadly Sexy in less than 24 hours... between medications, naps, coughs and sneezes. It was so good I couldn't doze off to sleep properly! I had on my glasses, the book in one hand, and soft tissues for my runny nose in the other. Beverly, you have done it again! Cannot wait to read Jewel (especially since Vivid is my favorite)!

Grown & Sexy, December 12, 2007
This review is from: Deadly Sexy (Mass Market Paperback)
Beverly Jenkins does it again! Well written from start to finish. Passion was HOT! Having read her historical romances, I really appreciated the 'authenticity' of JT's character. She was a modern day version of her strong/confident/smart great grandmothers. Reese was adorable. Persistent and sexy as hell. Liked the fact that the characters were 'grown' in their actions. No pretense, just adults in a relationship enjoying each other.
Can't wait for the stories about the brothers and hopefully, dad too.
Beverly, I love the way you connect the historical and modern day characters.
