(4.5 Stars) Groove Is In The Heart, July 10, 2008
This review is from: A Rare Groove (Paperback)
Simone St. Clair literally falls head-over-heels for Maxwell Harper.
Simone St. Clair is an on-air personality in Atlanta who is dating one of Atlanta's most eligible bachelors, ex-boxer Kevin Johnson. According to her friends, she should feel like the luckiest lady in Atlanta, but she doesn't. When she goes to Jamaica for a friend's wedding, her friend gets delayed. While alone on this beautiful tropical island, sparks do fly when she meets Maxwell Harper.
Maxwell is a native Jamaican but has not lived on the island since he was a child. He is now a very sexy engineer who resides in Canada. Even though he seems like the perfect man, Maxwell is dealing with nine year old family drama that Simone somehow finds herself caught in the middle of. She now has to decide if he is really what he seems or is all too good to be true.
A Rare Groove was the first book by Sophia Shaw that I have read, and I thought it was a very easy read. Her style of writing just flows, and the story holds your attention until the end. The only reason I did not give this book a 5 was because things start to happen really quickly towards the end of the story that I think are very vital to the plot, and they didn't get developed as much as I think they could have. But overall, I still think A Rare Groove was a very good read.

Jamaica - Yeah Mon!
Really enjoyed this book. Simone was very likeable and a hopeless romantic. You really liked her from page one. And Maxwell --- umph, umph, umph!
What you thought would be an island fling turned into something so much more meaningful. When the two were stranded at that house in the Jamaican village, I thought the pages were gonna melt my finger tips bcz it was so HOT!! After her friend's wedding, you thought the two would continue the relationship, but. . . .
And the night when Maxwell walked away from Simone and didn't look back, my heart broke right along with hers.
After returning to ATL, Simone and Maxwell find their way back to one another, but not without some MAJOR bumps along the way. Maxwell did an excellent job of redeeming himself in the end.
So typical with feuds, like Maxwell's with his dad, most often both parties forget what really started the whole thing bcz so much time has been wasted being angry.
Sophia even added some mystery/suspense to the plot, but you'll have to read it to know what I'm talking about.
A Rare Groove was REALLY good.
