4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Satisfaction, March 8, 2006

By 

Black Butterfly Review (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Satisfaction (Paperback)

Mr. Satisfaction by Brenda Jackson, Delilah Dawson, Joy King and Maryann Reid is a series of four novellas that focus on several sensual beings.

The first novella's, Extreme Satisfaction, opening line "I need a man," sets the tone for this book. Cathleen McAlister is out to get her man back. Rory Dawkins is the one who got away, which causes Cathleen to spend her every waking moment trying to convince him that they belong together. Extreme Satisfaction lives up to its name as Cathleen and Rory's story unfolds.

Satisfy Me is a tale about the once wealthy Shauna Williams who is an ambitions single female coordinating her best friend wedding. Shauna discovers that her childhood love Max Jackson, the poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks, is back and no longer poor. Although Shauna has unresolved feelings for him, her financial status has her wondering if she should act on them. Meanwhile, Max is saddened to discover Shauna meager living conditions and feels responsible for her fall from wealth.

Ice Princess a tale of the cold, focused and driven industry professional with a twist. The twist is the cold driven professional is a woman! Madison Monroe handles her business associates like fine tuned automobiles. She calls the shot in the boardroom as well as in the bedroom. Enter Madison's world and see what it is like to be a woman with the typical traits of a man.

The Morning After helps to reinforce the old adage Money can't buy happiness. Alexis is a wealthy debutante type who has the best of everything except relationships. Alexis is convinced by her friend that in order to find true happiness, she should look for a blue collar man and not the silver spoon type she's used to. Low and behold, Alexis meets and is attracted to Rasheen, a hard worker with a criminal record and lots of baby mama drama!

The back of this book identifies that these are four hot stories and I could not agree more. Each story provides its fair share of heat, while I found that Mr. Satisfaction provided fire. The authors have collectively penned novels that will possibly require you to have your own "personal summer." The stories were well written and delightfully entertaining. I am usually one who finds that novellas are too short to be good, but these ladies have provided a detailed, sensual and entertaining collection of short stories.

This book was ok but it could have been so much better... Ms. Jacksons story of course was the best out of the four...the story by Ms dawson was ok but i felt as if something was missing from the story ....Now on the other had the stories by ms King and Ms Reid were horrible.....Ice Princess felt more like [slattern] princess...I know that most of the stories like that are great however some how ms King just made her character seem like a [adulteress] and just plain stupid....and then Ms Reids story...what was the point of hers...how did she ever get that story published...Now if you Girls want a great book full of diffrent stories then check out LETS GET IT ON

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!!! (New York City), January 5, 2006

By 

Diane "Love to Read" (New York City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Satisfaction (Paperback)

Mr. Satisfaction is a fabulous book. It is a turn pager from beginning to end. For all you single women out there, dim your lights, light a candle and snuggle under your satin sheets for a hot read. Ice Princess is especially an excellent late night read. It was visually descriptive from the designer clothing to the curves on Ms. Monroe. I was hoping that Maurice with his fine body would walk into my bed. For all you women with a man/husband, read this book before your man/husband comes home and you will be instantly ready for him...fabulous!!! (New York City)
