More About the Author

Monica's wanted to write ever since she could hold a pencil. She had surgery in 1994, the longest time off work (as a registered nurse) she'd ever had in her life. She used the time to write her first novel and sold it to Kensington for the Arabesque line in 1995. In 1997, it finally appeared on the shelves. That book MIDNIGHT BLUE, was produced as a BET television movie of the week in 2000. Eight novels and eight novellas and short stories later from that first book, she's now a national bestselling author (says so on the books!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Romance with a spirited twist, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Magical Moment (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

Very interesting story on phenomenal powers. The unfolding love story, was seasoned with a murder mystery that envoked a slight tug of war between science, psychi, beliefs and perceptions . Good good read and very believable story line. The characters had real substance and the ending was climatic and quite surprising.

Taylor Cates has ensnared Stone Emerson. Taylor is intriguing and surely gives Stone more than enough to think about. Taylor tries to fight her infatuation for Stone, but that is something that she cannot do because the magic is deeply embedded and flows through.

Taylor and Stone are caught up in a series of events that not only affect them professionally, but emotionally as well. Their adventures drastically change their lives, but magically love develops through it all.

"A Magical Moment" is suspenseful as well as romantic. It is definitely a page turner. Also, we are updated in the lives of Kara and Brent, as well as the Eastmans -- Jenny, Dante, and Tiffany.

You can't help but to love this story! Talk about an independent nature, Taylor must have received an A in that department. I have not forgotten about Stone, he received an A in the Determination department! Those two are perfect for each other. Okay, yes they are very different people, but they mush very well together. At lest they will have a very exciting relationship, they most likely will never have a dull moment. I loved it! My favorite thus far from Moncia Jackson! Jackson does it again in a big way. I think I read this one in two days, tops! This was a very enjoyable read, so go get a copy!
