4.0 out of 5 stars Just The Right Size, May 11, 2003

By

This review is from: Perfect Fit (Hardcover)

Sage Dunbar is at the top of her marketing career and is engaged to her college sweetheart, she is living the life most women dream about. But what a difference a day makes. In one foul swoop her world is shattered when her fiance' depletes her bank accounts and turns her dream into a nightmare.

Gabreil Blackwell is handsome, single and successful. As co-owner of a top architectural firm he is a hot commodity in and out of the boardroom. Gabe wants to find a good woman and settle down, but that woman must meet one specific requirement, she must not bring any relationship baggage. Gabe's past dating experiences have left him cautious about sharing his heart.

A special construction project brings Sage and Gabe together and sparks are flying almost at their first glance. But neither is ready to trust again so they try to avoid each other. But passion is a very strong emotion and like magnets it makes it almost impossible to stay apart.

PERFECT FIT is a wonderful read about learning to trust again with your head and your heart, and as with Ms. Jackson's other works her characters are delightfully human. So if a warm, endearing story is what you want I recommend you try this one on for size.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mix a Angel with some Spice and what do you get??, September 25, 2003

This review is from: Perfect Fit (Hardcover)

Gabe Blackwell is a gorgeous, successful, attentative man who has had his heart broke already. Not looking for love he meets "Sage Dunbar" a beautiful, successful, very engaged, living with fiance, manager of marketing. Fron the beginning this couple is intriguing. When the 2 men in Sage's life totally devastate her, convincing her that men cannot be trusted, the last thing she is looking for is a man or getting involved in any committed relationship. Now that Sage has met Mr. Blackwell and she is publicly disappointed in Erol, the fire is crackling the timbers, but Gabe has already been jilted by a love who could not get over her past and he will not go down that road again, so he is direct and very skeptical of Sage. Now you have Betrayal, distrust, sexual harassment, friendship, conditional love, unconditional love and a story that will keep you turning the pages and anxious for Brenda Jackson to write about Rose and Parnell, cause they have to get together.
****Brenda jackson has a smoothe writing style. Her intimate scenes are tasteful & intriguiing. She covers all the basis.****

This review is from: Perfect Fit (Hardcover)

Perfect Fit is award winning and best selling romance novelist extraordinaire Brenda Jacksons second book in the Perfect series. This romantic tale between Sage Dunbar and Gabe Blackwell deals with issues of trust and how to get on with life and get into another relationship.

Sage Dunbar is dealt a double whammy. She is engaged to marry Erol Carlson, her first love and the man with whom she had a five-year relationship. When he depletes her bank accounts without her knowledge on an investment scheme gone badly, Sage calls off their engagement and severs all ties with him. Later, that same day, she sees her father whom she held in the highest regard, at a restaurant with a woman who is not her mother. These two incidents causes Sage to question everything she believes in about love and marriage. To get away from it all and clear her head, she accepts a job transfer many miles away. Gabe Blackwell swore off of relationships and love after his almost fiance dumps him to go back to her former lover. He submerges himself in work and only seeks out female companionship for sexual release. When Sage and Gabe meet in Anchorage, Alaska to work on the Landmark project, Eden, there is electricity between the two of them that can not be denied. But with both of them carrying so much emotional baggage they are unable to see what is so obvious to everyone else.

This is the first time in reading one of Ms. Jacksons books that there is a female protagonist that I had a hard time liking. I found Sage to be self righteous, unforgiving and unyielding. Gabe deserves a medal for hanging in there with her. Having a story set in Alaska in itself is unique. I wish more scenery and description of the area and its attractions made their way into the storyline. Alaska is such a beautiful place. Ms. Jackson is the master setting the mood and writing sensuous lovemaking scenes. In this book again she did not disappoint. Brenda Jackson fans will like this one and new readers will become her fans, seeking to find all of her previous works.
