Eve is an attractive, conservative widow who has buried her romantic feelings with her husband. Her life revolves around her son and her job as a prosecutor. That is until she meets Noah. A chiseled, fireman, who unbeknownst to the rest of the world, is a gentleman. Noah has just the equipment to revive Eve's emotions from six feet under. The sexual tension between these two is incredible, and when it's combined with the rich character and relationship development, the result is a book that's a page-turner. Also, Eve's Prescription is funny, cleverly written with a distinct Seattle flavor.

About the Author
Author, Edwina Martin-Arnold, remembers her mother’s proclamation made long ago. “You’re either going to be a lawyer or a writer because you’re always debating with me about something or scribbling in a notebook.” Edwina’s mother knew her well because with the publication of Eve’s Prescription, Edwina has become both an attorney and an author.
Edwina was born in Texas and grew up in Washington State. She attended the University of Washington where she met and married her husband, John. After working for two years as a buyer at Boeing, Edwina left to attend law school at the University of Puget Sound. Upon graduation, Edwina became a prosecutor. She enjoyed a seven-year career before she left to spend more time with her three children. It was during this time that Edwina was able to fulfill her life long fantasy of becoming a romance writer.

Noah opened the front door to his condo in West Seattle on Saturday, and almost dropped his coffee. Some sloshed over the rim and hit his big toe. “Damn!”
“Not the reaction I expected,” Eve said, standing on the landing outside his door.
Noah let her in, “Not you, the coffee.” He made a comical picture as he held the cup with one hand, and wiped his toe with the other. He put his foot and the coffee down. Then, he looked at her. His expression went from shock, to disbelief, to guarded. She didn’t take her eyes off him as she removed her coat. She boldly looked him up and down, drinking in his brown muscles, which gleamed against the white tank top and boxers he wore. She loved how his immense shoulders tapered into lean hips and long heavily muscled legs. She traveled back up and asked, “Do you live alone?”

Eve's Prescription,
By Melannie Denise (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eve's Prescription (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
This romance book is tastefully presented. I truly enjoyed the many themes around FAMILY relationships - Eve & her deceased husband, Eve and her prospective lover, Eve and her best friend Ebony, Eve and her mother, Eve and her son, Eve and her co-worker - it was great! It also portrayed Black Men in a positive light - as caring, responsible, professional, family men with values. The anticipation of the lovemaking made the book exciting - I didn't want to put it down - and when they FINALLY had "relations" - it was - oh well - passionate from start to finish. (smile) Thanks Edwina for putting Black Love on the market in a way we can all be proud!

Fantastic!!!,
By
This review is from: Eve's Prescription (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
Eve's Prescription was such an interesting book for me to read. I could basically relate to this book because I have experienced some of the same similiarities as the heroine, Eve Garrett. Eve, was a young widow, left to raise a teenage son and had been married for 14 years. I was also faced with that same situation, so my reading of this book hit home for me.I have to say this to anyone reading this review, that women who are faced with life after losing their husbands all of us deal with this part of life so differently. It's like taking a major class that is required for everyone before they can graduate from school, we all have to take the class but we all may deal with the subject different. Eve, buried her romantic feelings with her husband, not allowing anyone to break down her wall. Now, I know this is a book for all of us to read but I'm going a step further to let those who have been faced with being a widow, that the author provides an excellent illustration with this book for us to take a good long look at ourselves. The one thing I learned with losing your spouse, is the fact I had no control over this decision in life but I knew I had to move on as hard as it was. But its books like this, for the most part, if you allow yourself to be healed, read it and allow it to show you how to love again. Whatever one's belief system is, allow the power to let love come into your heart. This is what Eve is faced with as she comes into contact with Noah, the wonderful hero who happens to be younger and he is a fireman... and boy does he light up some sparks with Eve..My, My, My!!! I strongly recommend reading this book, it's what I call an All-Nighter, I love both the hero and the heroine, I love the additional characters, who enhance this story even more: Ebony, Yoshi, Dina, Beulah and Sean and last the initimate scenes in this book are HOT! HOT! HOT! Oh, and every now and then there is the one you can't stand...her name is Regina! So let's sum this up, this book is an easy read, an all-nighter, the hero and heroine have been added to my favorite list, real life issues and favorite steamy romance scenes. Any to all my sisters out there who have been faced with the loss of your husband, take it from someone who is still dealing with it, read this story, if nothing else it gives you hope that you never know when God will send you another chance at love. The hardest part of this all is letting go and that's not easy, as you'll see with Eve, but if you trust in the higher force, he will bring you through it all. Edwina, thanks for this story, Eve's Prescription, job well-done!!

Great ethnic romance,
This review is from: Eve's Prescription (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
Four years ago, somehow her spouse lost control and drove their car into the river. Todd managed to get Eve Garrett to safe ground, but failed to make it. Stunned by what happened, Eve became a widow raising a ten-year-old boy by herself. For the past two years, her neighbor Ebony has tried to find a man for Eve with no success. At their weekly domino game, Ebony introduces Eve to a new partner, fire fighter Noah Russell. To her shock, Eve reacts to a male for the first time since Todd died, but she knows that Noah is wrong for her as he is younger and the stud of the moment that every woman in town wants. Noah knows that he feels good whenever he is with Eve and her son, but he has his work cut out if he is to overcome her reluctance to have a man in their lives even if love cements the relationships. EVE'S PRESCRIPTION is an entertaining second chance at love ethnic romance. The story line is interesting because the secondary cast lightens the tale even though they are quite serious when it comes to caring for Eve. Noah may be a pinup in the women's locker room, but his compassionate side makes him more than a hunk of beef. Eve is complex as she struggles between guilt and her first reaction to a man since the death of Todd. Edwina Martin-Arnold makes a strong debut with a wonderful drama. Harriet Klausner
