Book Description

Kimani Romance April 1, 2009

Fashion model Tia St. Claire keeps things light when it comes to men...no strings, just flings. She's got her reasons, thank you. But even she finds Trent Donovan hard to resist--he's sexy, successful, persistent and built for a woman's wildest dreams. When their one-night stand leaves defiant longings, Tia isn't sure whether to run, hide or surrender to the former navy SEAL's rugged charms.

The last of the successful and seriously single "Triple Threat" Donovan brothers still happily unattached, Trent Donovan has dedicated his career to duty and danger. Until desire and beautiful, spirited Tia change everything. Now he's sleepless over an attraction too powerful to deny, and a secret dilemma with only one way out--following his heart.

This review is from: Defying Desire (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
The last of the successful and seriously single "Triple Threat" Donovan brothers Trent Donovan never planned to fall in love like his brothers but it sneaks up on him in this explosive story. Because of his line of work he didn't plan to have a wife nor chidren to worry about him when he was away doing his job. Fashion model Tia St. Claire lost the love of her life and child in a accident 2 years ago and had no plans to fall in love again. She is a client of Trent's sister-in-law and is invited to a party being hosted by her boss and it just so happens to be on the anniversary of the accident that killed the love of her life and unborn child. She dreads going and seeing Trent again. She can not stand him because he is too arrogant for her tastes and he had called her months before and she blew him off. She drinks too much champagne and seeks a quiet place to be alone because she knows a breakdown is coming and she doesn't want anyone to witness it. Trent finds her alone and see that she is drunk and in no shape to drive home. They share a heated kiss and he drives her home. She doesn't want to be alone and asks Trent to stay. He senses that something else is going on with her but she refuse to talk about it. They end up in bed together and it is a night that neither one will ever forget. Both fight their deep feelings for one another at first. Someone ends up stalking Tia and Trent steps in to protect her and find the stalker. It ends up being someone that he knows and Tia can't accept the fact that because of his job, this will happen all the time. She refuses to be with him knowing that she could lose him like her former love. You will have to read this fantastic novel to find out how this ends. I won't be a spoiler and give the ending away. Another great novel by A. C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, Romance and More, March 30, 2009
This review is from: Defying Desire (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Fashion model, Tia St. Claire was every man's dream. But she did not want to have anything to do with men. A few acquaintances were all she believed that she needed. Tia was asked to model for Camille Davis, owner of CK Davis Designs. Tia loved Camille's designs and was eager to help her, until she found out that she would walk the runway with Trenton Donovan. In Defying Desire, AC Arthur gives readers a very romantic story.

Trenton Donovan was the last of the Triple Threat Brothers to be single. Trent was a former navy SEAL. He loved his job and still accepted special assignments. When he was asked to model in Camille's fashion show, he thought it would be fun. After meeting Tia, Trent realized that there was another type of danger he wanted to explore and he was not about to let her slip through his hands.

Arthur brought together two unlikely people who could not deny their attraction. Tia struggled to accept Trent, first as her friend and lover while Trent showed that he was more than his career. I enjoyed this installment of the Donovan brothers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Hearts..., March 22, 2009
This review is from: Defying Desire (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
The last of the "Triple Threat" Donovan brothers is back and falling HARD. Mrs. Arthur weaves a HIGHLY emotional-charged tale with a HEARTWARMING ending. The DESIRE between Trent and Tia is SIZZLIN'! And the intrigue and suspense surrounding their budding relationship keeps you turning the pages until the very end. The cast of characters, main and secondary is quite colorful and MEMORABLE. I am DEFINITELY looking forward to reading more stories about the Donovan clan and their circle of family and friends.
