Book Description

September 16, 2002
Ebony MacKenzie's hopes have been stripped down to the bare essentials--literally. If the ambitious young writer wants to land her dream job with The Cincinnati Examiner, she needs an exclusive interview with the reclusive Ice Cream King, Reuben Renfro. That mean working the story undercover--or out-of-covers--at his favorite nudist colony. For someone like ultra-conservative Ebony, this is a lowdown as it gets...especially when she spies luscious rival reported Isaiah Malone on the premises, holding up his towel with a serious amount of beautifully sculpted charm.

Isaiah likes his women hot,wild, and full of dangerous curves. So he doesn't need to get with a skinny sister who thinks she's all that. Besides being the sort of woman who irons her underwear and probably thinks a thong is a song lyric,miss Goody-Two-Shoes is also his competition, a journalist out for the same story. And Isaiah aims to win--until fate has other ideas. But one thing's for sure, when it comes to letting your guard down--and keeping your towel up--nothing can get in the way when...It's a love thang.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended!, September 3, 2002
By 
This review is from: It's a Love Thang (Mass Market Paperback)
Ebony MacKenzie and Isaiah Malone both worked for "rag" papers. They were both after the same full time position as a reporter for the Cincinnati Examiner. However, only the one who landed an exclusive interview with multi-millionaire Reuben Renfro would get the job.

Renfro was as eccentric as they come! The two reporters go through nudist colonies, paint ball tournaments, sleazy sleeping quarters, and more in their efforts. Fate kept throwing the two rivals together and romance began. But how could they possibly trust one another?

**** Great plot and well developed main characters. I loved the many humorous sections. Parts seemed a bit unrealistic to me, however, they made for grand reading! Definitely recommended! ****

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful romp! Highly recommended, October 28, 2002
This review is from: It's a Love Thang (Mass Market Paperback)
A nudist colony does not deter Ebony MacKenzie from her goal of interviewing the illusive Ice Cream King Reuben Renfro. She has forty-five minutes to get her story before she must uncover, but focus becomes difficult when she spies the nearly uncovered Isaiah Malone. Little does she suspect they share the same goal.

Isaiah usually prefers curvaceous, wild women. Ebony's Sears suit and button up appearance does not fit the nudist resort or his own fantasies, and yet she captures his imagination. She also gets them thrown out of the resort, leaving them both desperate for an interview and pressured by family.

Author Reon Laudat brings her own journalist flair and a hearty dose of humor in IT'S A LOVE THANG. It's a wild, roller coaster ride to the top complete with nudist colonies and paint ball competitions. The competition between Ebony and Isaiah is fierce, surpassed only by their sizzling chemistry. Dysfunctional families, Mickey Mouse jammies and passion keep the novel moving quickly. While parts may seem a bit unrealistic, they do not overshadow this delightful romp. Highly recommended.
