Is love at first sight possible? Yes it is because that is what it is in Artiste C. Arthur's Object of His Desire.

Macy Glenn, a beautiful attorney, is the object of a young billionaire's desire. Jordan Blake, a man who is used to getting everything he wants, makes a deal with Macy's law firm, that he will retain them as his exclusive lawyers if he can have Macy as the lawyer handling his cases. When this agreement is made, he immediately makes arrangements for Macy to fly to Los Angeles to take over the lawsuits his company is facing. It is more of ruse to get to her. On their arrival, Jordan finds out that his brother died and he immediately suspects that their estranged Mafia Italian father was behind it. He whisks Macy off to Sicily to see his father and also to "get to know" her. In Sicily their romance begins but the secrets of Jordan's family begin to unravel. This places this new relationship in danger.

This is a hot, exciting, romantic read. The characters burn the pages with their chemistry. There is a bit of intrigue, twists, and turns, although it becomes somewhat predictable. There are characters that are referenced but the reader never meets them and there are others who initially seem like they were intended to play more of a role than they do. The conclusion seemed to drag and the story ends before the book is complete. However Macy and Jordan's love affair is enough to check it out.

Half-black, half-Italian Jordan Blake, formerly Jordan Penelli, the "pretty boy millionaire" is used to getting everything he wants. This time he wants Macy Glenn, a demure, hardworking, well-respected attorney. But for Macy that means going against her morals, standards, and better judgment.

Macy's firm, Tydings, Banks, and McWinter want Jordan's business. His Cosmetics Company, clothing line, and chain of Italian Restaurants would bring millions of dollars to the firm. As a condition of retaining their services Jordan demands that Macy Glenn make catering to his legal affairs and guarding his personal schedule her sole responsibility. Basically, he wants Macy as his personal attorney. Macy is appalled and enraged. Her initial reaction was boiling rage, but it was obvious that the firm planned to accommodate Jordan Blake at all costs... "Macy, the bottom line is if you want your job, if you care anything about the work you've done for the past five years you'll..."

Macy makes an anemic attempt to resist Jordan's charm, care, and passion. Jordan struggles not to inundate Macy with his sweltering emotions. Nevertheless, passion explodes and these two irresistible characters connect like lead to a magnet. Reveling in their new found love, Jordan never fathomed that nuances of his past, family secrets, and premeditated betrayals could destroy his livlihood and the love of his life, Macy.

Macy dismisses the rumors that the Italian half of Jordan, his father Dioncello Penelli, has Sicilian ties to the Mafia. However, when a sudden and strange death occurs, Macy gets hurled into a turbulent world of violence and death where she soon finds out that being the Object of Jordan Blake's desire could be deadly.

OBJECT OF HIS DESIRE instantly captured my attention. Artist Arthur does a magnificent job of creating steady, seductive chemistry between Jordan Blake and Macy Glenn. Rapture laced with a layer of mystique, and topped off with a racy storyline, keeps the adrenaline flowing in this enjoyable novel. Both mystery and romance readers palate's are satiated with the amorous tension and consistent excitement that hangs in every chapter.

I absolutely loved this book! I initially read the title and thought 'a lusty tale' but once I started reading it I was pleasantly surprised.

Jordan is a handsome half Italian, half African American who is rich and successful, but lonely. When he sees Macy it is virtually love at first sight. He wants her and he doesn't hesitate making that fact known. His Italian endearments and sex appeal swept me off my feet! The murder of his brother and the ultimate betrayal at the end were just highlights. From the time Jordan and Macy get together until the very last page of the book I was on the edge of my seat. Add the mafia, sibling rivalry and the beautifully depicted scenery and you've got an instant winner.

I couldn't put the book down, I wanted to know what was going to happen next so badly.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a good story. I am anxiously awaiting Ms. Arthur's next release as I'm sure it'll be just as intriguing and stimulating as this one was!

Object of His Desire is full of suspense and will keep you on the edge of your seats as A.C. Arthur takes us on a journey from one country to the next. Once you think you have things figured out, a new twist is thrown in. Romance readers will enjoy this book.

I've never been to Sicily, but Ms. Arthur sures makes me want to go there and find a handsome hunk like Jordan Blake to go with me!

This story starts out with two very attractive people admitting that they are very attracted to each other. The sexual tension alone was enough to keep me interested. Even though I normally like a little chase in my hero and heroine, there's something refreshing about two intelligent people admitting that they are physically attracted to one another yet searching for an emotional connection.

The mystery of murder and the mafia are a good touch, it adds to the overall appeal of the book. While I think the ending may have been a little rushed, Ms. Arthur certainly makes up for that throughout the novel.

I understand that this is her first novel. Well, keep up the good work girl! I will most definitely be buying the next one!

Jordan Blake was infuriating @ times with his controlling ways and seemed a bit more Italian than black. I loved the way he spoke Italian and called Macy "Bella". The book had great sex scenes and you always got the feeling that Jordan and Macy really loved each other despite everything that was going on. Quick,great read that I'd recommend to anyone.

The book starts off interesting enough
I was immediately turned on by Jordan's take charge attitude
but everything just moved too quick after there meeting
and as the book wore on I began to not care for Macy too much.
The fact that she gets kidnapped in the story and is fearing
for her life and she tells the kidnapper that its 'not very hospitable of you'---
jordan of course saves her in a non descriptive way that seemed
like a cop out for the writer to lazy out of writing it.
the descriptions of italy are very cold like something taken
verbatum out of a travel magazine and dont flow with the rest of her book if you want a quick read with a foreign male character
as your i/r lead try and get your hands on a copy of delaney's
desert sheik its short but really good

This is Mrs. Arthur's first book in print and I beleive she is off to a great start. From cover to cover there is action that gets your heart pumping and passion between the main characters that will get you heated up. There are twist that you don't see coming that add spice to the story. I look forward to Mrs. Arthur's future books. This is a must have book!!

Can money buy love? Well, for Jordan Blake it can. From the first moment he saw her, Jordan knew that he would have Macy Glenn and have her he would, even if it meant using his business connection influences to make it happen.

Object of His Desire is a tale overflowing with thrilling suspense and super hot romance. From start to finish I was hanging on the edge of my seat with great anticipation and I am proud to say that I was not disappointed. A. C. Arthur threw in one surprising twister after another. Just when I thought that I had figured things out, I was astonished by the revealed truth. And, let's not forget about the chemistry sparkling between Jordan and Macy. The couple's was passion seductive, flamingly hot and romantic. This is one book that readers will not want to miss

I borrowed this book from the library (thank goodness) because I thought this writer was similiar to maureen smith - wrong! The book had several typos - the first warning. The main character, Macy, was treated like a commodity to be traded and used at the pleasure of the men in this book. So sad to read. She was supposed to be a strong, independent, confident woman. But overnight she is turned into a naive submissive companion to Jordan. Here is the progression - Jordan sees her, finds out that she works for a firm that is trying to get his business and he gets them to have her be his exclusive attorney (translation, they pimp her out to him). She is supposed to be one their best attorneys, but they force her to move to California (from NY) on absolutely NO notice to be at Jordan's beck and call. She is appalled and angry for all of 2 minutes but Jordan buys her flowers and from then on she is in love. Jordan moves her into his house instead of the apartment she was promised without her knowledge; he makes her go to Italy with him and has his butler drug her so she won't ask questions on the journey there. I could go on and on but I'm tired. I understand that this is the author's first book, I hope her other ones are better than this one.
