Love on The Rocks, January 21, 2010
This review is from: Love on the Rocks (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Meet Warrick Carver & Tangela Howard it was love at first sight for them. They both meet 7 yrs ago and what we all want at one time or another. Love, Marriage and Children, but in the midst of their 7 yrs relationship it begin to crumble and instead of talking or communicated with each other Warrick begin spending more and more time at work and hanging out with the guys while Tangela was at home going through her own hell trying to figure out where she fit into Warrick life.
For Tangela giving Warrick her all was and being there for him when he came home was what she wanted from the time they begin to date but with all situation Tangela became to want more she wanted marriage, they became in engaged but that was as far as it was going until Tangela confronted Warrick about their future. Warrick felt that he was being pressed into marriage and he wasn't ready or he felt they wasn't ready still young, but for Tangela she was ready she wanted a husband and children so she push and push until he had enough. The arguments started he was spending late hours and the office and of course the sex stop. There passion was gone and we all know if he they are not getting at home then he is getting it from some where else or least that what Tangela thought.
My question was he?????????????????????
Warrick James Carver now that is a strong name and trust when I say that this man was all that and fine. He is loyal, faithful and loving but he is also a workaholic, after his father had a heart attack he became the CEO of Architect Firm and has taken on more responsibility. Warrick never say that he didn't love Tangela in fact he was so in love with her she took his breath away. The one thing Tangela wanted Warrick was ready to give her. It took Tangela to walk away from Warrick for him to realize that he in some ways took her for granted. Tangela was always there when he walk through the door, had dinner ready and after they enjoyed being with each other. He loves her unconditional but when she left he torn his heart out.
2 yrs later Tangela return home from Mexico, Warrick first see her on the cover of People Magazine and Tangela has lost weight and she is looking AWESOME. That is the first time Warrick has seem the love of his life and then they see each for the first time at a party and let me tell you that Tangela is wearing this CAT Suit that just make Warrick mouth fall open. Tangela has change in the last 2 years since she was with Warrick, she learn to love herself for her and make friend and enjoy her life not sit around and waiting for someone anymore. Tangela goal is still to get marriage by the age of 30th and have children she sign up for this online dating service so she has been out on several dates with different men to see if there is a love connection, but once she get a look at Warrick he just sit her heart and everything else on fire, but Tangela has decided that she will not fall back into Warrick arm or his trap.
Warrick has realize that the breakup was not all of his fault and yes Tangela had her share in there break up but her has also decided that he has change and he wants what they had 7 yrs ago but Warrick see that he will have to really prove to Tangela that he has change and is ready to make that move but Tangela does not make it easy for a brotha either he has to work at and Tangela has to realize that every thing does center around what she want when she want it. Love doesn't happen the way we want it to and for Tangela she will realize that when the going get tough she has to stick around and work it out and not run every time something does not go the way she want or expect it to go.
The both had lesson to learn Warrick learn that it take two to be in a relationship and it not about somebody always been there for you but you have to be there for the other person as well and help around the house. Buying and taking vacation is nice but it is what you do when you at home do take people for granted, and Tangela saw and heard the fights between her parents and the only thing she knew to do was to leave so that stayed with her so every time things got to the point where she felt Warrick wasn't going to marry her she left no words nothing and at some point she had to grow up and face the fact if it worth fighting for then you stay and fight. In the end the couples learn to stay and communicated with each other talk about any and everything under the sun, and I can say that the passion these two have for each other is HOT and you will enjoy this book from the first page until the last.
I recommend this book

Warrick and Tangela reunite after 2yrs apart from their 7yr relationship after he sees her on the cover of People with a dramatic weight loss story. Although its stated early on how much he loves and misses her, I was surpised that the author would let the male character be so chauvinistic. Warrick definitely wanted Tangela physically but he also wanted a maid, a cook and a listener, all without the benefit of marriage which is fine if they were both on the same page but he knew exactly what she wanted because he eavesdropped on her and her friends but still wouldn't commit, not to mention he wasn't really supportive and didn't mind bringing up what he'd done for her, like co-signing her car. I was really disappointed with this story, there was just too much one sidedness and not enough romance. I definitely wouldn't recommend this as a good love story. I'm really suprised that it was written by a woman.

Love on the Rocks, July 18, 2010
This review is from: Love on the Rocks (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Tangela Howard has a new outlook on life. Since coming back from Mexico, she is 80 pounds lighter, more confident, and knows what she wants out of life. She also knows what she doesn't want and that would be her ex-fiance Warrick Carver! Tangela and Warrick dated for 7 years, and Warrick was her everything. She moved in with him, cooked for him, and cleaned for him. After they were engaged and Tangela realized that Warrick was not ready to get married, she left and went to Mexico for 2 years. Now that she is back, she has a new agenda. She wants a husband and children, but not with Warrick. After seeing Tangela, Warrick realizes that his life is nothing without her. He also realizes that he is going to have to make the hardest sell he has ever made if he wants Tangela back in his life permanently.
Love on the Rocks by Pamela Yaye is a good read. The plot is well developed and very easy to relate to. Yaye does a good job with character development. She also does a wonderful job with keeping the story flowing without having lagging moments. Love on the Rocks will either make you appreciate what you have or help you figure out whether or not what you got is worth holding on to.
