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!

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!!

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.

Todd and Eve Garrett were on their way to a romantic getaway when Todd lost control of the car. Todd saved Eve, but couldn't save himself. Todd died leaving Eve with their young son Sean to raise.

Eve was an excellent Prosecuting Attorney. She took her work seriously and loved it. She really didn't have a social life. Now that Todd was gone, she just wasn't interested in becoming involved with any man. Eve's played Dominos with her friend Ebony and her husband. Ebony tried to set Eve up with a hunk named Noah. At their first meeting there was a spark of something between them. Eve had heard about Noah's reputation as a ladies man and didn't want to become another conquest for him. She had only been with her husband Todd and they had been married for 14 years. Noah wanted to get to know Eve and was definitely thinking of a lasting relationship with her, if she would just give him a chance.

Eve's Prescription was Edwina's first romance novel. It was a wonderful story about a woman trying to fight her way back to the world of love and romance. Great job Ms. Edwina.

This is the first romance book I have completely read from cover to cover. Reading romance books is just not my forte. However, this book is captivating, fresh, and exhillarating. I like the way the author cuts from scene to scene in a timely manner; sometimes leaving you wanting just a little bit more. It would'nt take much imagination if any at all to make this fine work into a great movie.

Eve's Prescription is a well-written and entertaining romance debut novel from Edwina Martin Arnold.

On their way to a romanctic rendezvous, Eve and her husband, Todd, have a tragic car accident. Todd is successful in saving Eve; however, he succumbs and loses his own life. Since that tragic incidence, 4 years ago, Eve has closed off all sexual, intimate, and sensuous feelings for another man. Instead she spends her time practicing law during the day as a Prosecuting Attorney and the evenings are spent with her elderly, live-in mom, Beulah and her 14-year old son, Sean.

Her friends, Ebony and Yoshi, worry about her and they are forever playing matchmaker but to no avail because Eve is simply not interested in another man. After all she has the memories of 14 years to a wonderful man. But, Ebony still tries and one evening at their weekly domino game, Ebony introduces Eve to Noah... the passionate, sensual, attractive, red, hot, firefighter. Sparks fly when Eve meets Noah but she's not ready to give in to her physical nature, after all, she was in a loving marriage for 14 years and Noah is several years her junior and has a reputation of being a lady's man. Noah has had more than his share of women but none of them have touched the essence of his soul like the attractive and intelligent Eve. Noah is on a mission to get to know Eve better, however, his reputation has preceded him and Eve doesn't desire to be another notch on his belt buckle.

But unbeknownst to Eve is the real Noah. The Noah that few women ever really get a chance to see primarily because they don't seek him for those qualities-he's strong, intelligent, supportive, gentle, decisive and a positive role model that other brothas could take some pointers from. Will Eve let down her guard and open up her heart to Noah? But, oh, while, Eve is debating and being difficult, will another woman primarily in the form of another woman/hoochie mama named Ms. Regina just waltz in and waltz off on a white horse with Noah?

Eve's Prescriptions combines sexual tension, rich character and relationship development to make for a very good romantic genre storyline. This is a book that romance and non-romance readers alike can enjoy. Edwina Martin Arnold has a strong debut and a promising career as a romance writer.

I thoroughly enjoyed Eve's Prescription. Martin-Arnold's potrayal of Noah the male love interest of Eve (the superfine, intelligent, professional African American female)did african american men justice. Finally brothas! We are well represented in this book. Noah is depicted as strong,intelligent, decisive, and sensitive. You all will love the part where he stands strong and fights off the advances of the superfine bucked-naked Eve using the right head.

Brotha's this is a must read!!

Sensual love making scenes. Hot and passionate writing with the perfect storyline -- I don't want to give it away. Eve is a powerful woman with a vulnerable side to her. Noah is just what Eve needs. A DELICIOUS BOOK!!! Bon appetite!

This book has everything you want in a romance novel; a interesting storyline, strong characters, the excitement of new love, and very passionate romance! The interwoven storylines will captivate you. And you'll like the personalities of the main characters; Eve and Noah. I like the way the author made Eve intelligent and independent, yet still possessing a vulnerable side. Noah is strong, protective and a passionate lover. You won't be disappointed if you buy this book!

This book was hot!!! Calendar sexy and ultra fine firefighter Noah Russell's great looks and perfect abs belied the true nature of the man. Eve Garrett is a successful attorney, beautiful, widowed, with a teenage son. When Eve and Noah meet at mutual friends Ebony and Yoshi's, it is instant combustion, they are to partner for dominos but it is clear that Noah wants more than a casual partnership.

Struggling with intense emotions she never experienced before, not even with her late husband, Eve is torn. Aware of Noah's reputation she still can't help but want a sample of the forbidden fruit. Noah wants Eve to see the person he is, not his Mr December or Dr Feelgood image so after a tender moment shared between them he is looking forward to something more when his hopes are dashed by Eve's demand of secrecy. Noah wants Eve in his life but at what cost? his pride is on the line will he let it suffer just to have her? If she only gave him half the chance he would show her what he could be in her life. Eve almost lets age and unresolved feelings keep her from finding healing in the "real medicine" Noah's love could provide. Indigo books are a little spicy if thats your taste, hats off to Edwina great first effort.
