Pride and Joi (Indigo) [Mass Market Paperback]

Gay G. Gunn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2007 | Series: Indigo

Joi Martin knew what she wanted in a man: someone who could give her all the things she'd always dreamed about from her working class world; wealth, privilege, and safety. Joe Pride was a solid, blue-collar factory worker: everything Joi was sure she didn't want. When her Prince Charming appears in the person of Claude Jeeter, bearing gifts and promising a gilded future, Joi is forced to question her old dreams.

Joi is torn between two lovers. One man captures her heart, nourishes her soul, and makes her body sing. The other man stimulates her mind and could give her the world for the asking. Joe Pride supplies her with non-monetary riches that cannot be measured in diamonds and gold. Today's love or tomorrow's security? Who will she choose? Who would you choose?

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL LOVE STORY!, August 14, 2000

This review is from: Pride and Joi (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Hardcover)

I was looking for a change of pace when I ran across this little book. Pride and Joi by Gay Gunn is a remarkable love story! It is the story of Joe Pride and Joi (Martin) St. Marie. Joi is torn between accepting the love of her soulmate who will take her as she is or trying to love someone who can give her all the material wealth but can't satisfy the fire in her soul. Joi and Pride captured me because it was well-written, the characters had depth, the plot was plausible and the writing style was breathtaking. While reading about Pride and Joi, I felt like I was swept off my feet and taken into a romance fantasy that ended with a fairy tale ending. Along the way I feel in love with Pride and Joi and hoped that they would work out issues, differences, and keep other folks(who were not so well meaning)out of their business! And while I thought that the ending might be predictable the twist and turns that were added along the way pleasantly surprised me. If you're a romance reader and looking for a good romance novel or even if you don't like romance novels but are in the mood for a good love story please read Pride and Joi. You won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pride and Joi made me sigh with delight!, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pride and Joi (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Hardcover)

I couldn't put it down. I had to know when they would connect and what would keep them together. It's a touching love story and what made it seem even more familiar was it's Motown flavor. I don't normally read romance novels but this was very realistic. Not too much fantasy and just enough room for imagination to make your heart pound.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Wonderful Story, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Pride and Joi (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Hardcover)

This book was really good. I loved Joe Pride. He was just an ordinary guy with extrordinary love to give. He loved Joi unconditionally.

Joi Martin was afraid to really love someone, because she thought they would die. She figured if she married well, the money would be enough. That was until she met Joe Pride. Joe showed her what life could be like with a someone who loved her wholeheartedly. Joi's mother didn't think Pride was good enough for her daughter. She always made Joi think that marrying well would be better for her. OH, how wrong she was. You need to read this book to get the full effect. I guarantee, you won't put it down.
