Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Stunning black model Morgan Allgood is 40 and knows that her years before the camera are numbered. That's why she is in Chicago auditioning for a job as a sports commentator instead of home in Atlanta preparing for her sister's wedding. She runs into Van McNeil, a fine-looking weatherman and the ultimate player. They have a one-night stand and she takes off, chiding herself for not looking for a man to settle down with. Van remembers Morgan from his childhood acting days and is still smitten, but how deeply? Neither of them believes that commitment is possible until they each take the back-road route to Atlanta, chasing a growing storm and each other. Louise gives her readers a romance that is at turns sensual, charming, and amusing as two beautiful people learn the meaning of love in rural America. Patty Engelmann

Love Conqures All,
By Ms.Jae (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Open Arms (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Morgan Allgood, is nearing forty and the end of her modeling career. While in Chicago on a work assignment and to design and make her sister's wedding gown, she begins contemplating changes in her career and personal life.
Meteorologist, Van McNeil is a storm chaser. And he's in Chicago to attend a conference on what else, the weather. Van is also known as a player and he's not ready to rip up his player card. Or is he? Van has been fantasizing about Morgan since childhood, when they met briefly on the set of a commercial they were both shooting. Morgan has never forgiven him for standing her up on their first date, a year ago. A chance meeting brings Morgan and Van back into each others lives. Before leaving Chicago they spend one lustfully, passionate night together. Van's fantasies are finally a reality. And the reality is, she rocked his world. Can he let her walk out of his life, again? As for Morgan, well let's just say he had her singing, real loud. Will she be able to stop her mind from replaying that night over and over? When Morgan's flight is canceled due to a high security alert at the airport, Van offers to drive her to Atlanta, which she reluctantly accepts. It's during this road trip that they begin to face their true feelings for each other. Will Morgan be able to see beyond his reputation as a player and see Van as a man who wants to love only her? I suggest you buy the book and go along for the ride. And what a funny, hot and adventurous ride it is. This is the fourth story in the Allgood series and in my opinion the best. I smiled and laughed a lot while reading this book. And you will too. Hopefully this is not the end of this series, because Morgan has to have a wedding gown too. This is Miss. Louise's first time venturing in romantic comedy and I say a job well done.

The Best book Yet Simply Marvalous,
By
This review is from: With Open Arms (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
I did not think that Ms. Louise could do better than Alove of there own then she came out with a 5 star anthology(Can I get A Amen) After reading a Love of their own She came out With Open Arms This is truly the most funniest heart wrenching story that kept me on the edge of my seat it was so good that I refused to go to bed until I finished reading it Cannot wait until the next book so that they can get Married. By then we will need to find out more about the mysterious Braxton and who else is left in the Algood family to marry. I have all 11 of your books unfortunely they only allow 5 stars for review this book is a 10+ keep up the good work Regina Hightower

They Made It,
By free4lyfe "VOR" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Open Arms (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
The one thing I didn't like about WITH OPEN ARMS is that it is possibly the last of the Allgood series, unless Kenyon's brother gets his own story then maybe we can get an invite to Van and Morgan's wedding. Van and Morgan had history that she didn't remember but he never forgot. The story takes us back to the day chubby child actor Donovan McNeil first laid eyes on cute little Morgan Allgood at a commercial shoot, for the captivated Donovan time stood still and a piece of his heart would forever remain frozen to that moment.
Morgan "the beautiful sister" has had a successful if not phenomenal modeling career. Her lifestyle allows her to date a variety of men from actors to music artist but Morgan's silent desire is to have "someone special" to share her life with. Van McNeil is no longer the "fat kid" actor but a sexy and handsome TV Weatherman at the top of his craft as well as the top fantasy for many women viewers. After their disastrous first date Morgan and Van have avoided one another eventhough his best friend Gordon and her sister Ashley are about to be married. Morgan has a talent for clothes designing and makes the family's wedding dresses, it is getting that creation to her sister in time for the wedding that is the start to the road trip from hell that causes her and Van to face the deep feelings they have for one another. I never felt Van was commitment-phobic, he wanted Morgan but fear and pride kept him from revealing the extent of what lay in his heart for her. I didn't think the dress was what Morgan was holding back, but her heart and the control she felt she might lose to a man with Van's reputation. Their road to love was funny, and sometimes dangerous, but for me it was an enjoyable ride. As always in Kim's books I find characters I hope to read about again, Brax is one of them. Kudos Kim, your work and talent continue to grow.
