Jolie is a woman scorned in love. After fifteen years, she’s put the hurt behind her and is flourishing in her career as a zookeeper. But all that changed when she attended her brother’s basketball game. One of the college recruiters present is none other than Alvin. The one responsible for all Jolie’s scars because years ago, he chose the orange ball over her. Sparks fly when the two see each other. Jolie is forced to endure Alvin’s presence because she wants what’s best for her younger brother who insists on attending Alvin’s school. However, she refuses to let him back in her heart, much less her bed; two places where Alvin’s determined to be.

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.

Jolie's Surrender,
By Patricia (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jolie's Surrender (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
I loved this book. I was impressed with Jolie's strength and the way she goton with her life despite the fact she lost Alvin when he broke up with her. Jolie had a lot of stress and trauma to deal with at a young and impressionable age. She seemed to have had some issues with trust but resolved those issues. I particularly like the fact that Jolie was non-judgemental towards her young brother and was so supportive of him and his girlfriend. Alvin is a guy who despite the macho world of professional sports, showed a wonderful sensitive side towards everyone. Youngsters, friends and family alike. A number of the problems Jolie and Alvin faced came from outside forces, out of their control, but despite these, both ended together happily ever after. A great plus for readers who love basketball as well as a terrific romance story!

I want more of Jolie's rolling thunder!,
By The "Romanceluva" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jolie's Surrender (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
I read Jolie's Surrender from end to end in two days. It's a real page turner. I'm a male reviewer. This novel has a great collection of real life value nuggets sprinkled throughout it. The love scenes are hot (WARNING: blazin' hot). The passion was thunderous in the love scene after Jolie's near-death experience (whew...where's the fan!). The story also reinforces the differences between the female and male species. Alvin (lead fella) had to work damn hard to solve the complex Jolie-equation. It shouldn't have to be that hard ladies! Alvin's prize, however, was well worth the wait. My judge of a good book are the ones that keep me thinking about the chapters long after I'm done -- I am still thinking about Jolie's Surrender one week later. A very good read from Edwina Martin-Arnold. I'm buying Eve's Prescription now!

Wow! If there was an Oscar award for books.....,
By BlackRose "Yummy Brown" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jolie's Surrender (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)
I recently read "Jolie's Surrender", and I found it to be most enjoyable. I usually do not read romance novels, however, "Jolie's Surrender" has converted me. The novel consist of an extremely well written plot, instead of the usual 'moan scenes'. Although those types of scenes are there, they are well placed, and within the flow of the story. After reading "Jolie's Surrender", and reading the reviews for "Eve's Prescription", I am defintiely going to run out and buy it! I highly recommend both books!
