4.0 out of 5 stars Latin love anyone?, March 12, 2004

This review is from: Reflections of You (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

Using San Juan, Puerto Rico as the backdrop for this scintillating novel, Celeste O. Norfleet opens the mind and the senses to love Latin style. In REFLECTIONS OF YOU, Angela Lord arrives in Puerto Rico following a lead to her very vague past. Her best friend suggests that she try "an island fling with a Latin lover" to loosen up some while she searches for answers. With her driven personality, Angela has no intention of indulging until she finds her identity. Her intentions are admirable in this paradise until she meets the devilishly handsome Marco Santos and forms an instant attraction to him. To her astonishment, the feeling is mutual.

It does not help matters any that she resembles Marco's deceased wife. The resemblance is uncanny and duly noted by several people on the island, but it bothers only one person, Marco's mother-in-law, Isabella Riviera. Isabella sees Angela as a threat to her survival and sets out to ensure that the two of them do not become more acquainted. However, it appears to be the will of God and the Santos family that the two should be together, which forces Isabella to take some drastic measures.

Norfleet starts this novel slowly with suggested hints of being your typical garden-variety romance novel. What emerges is a well-written romantic story peppered with a little mystery and intrigue to give me something to savor. Two unforgettable main characters, a nasty villain and a few surprising twists has me adding this author's books to my To Be Read list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Off the Chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, March 26, 2004

This review is from: Reflections of You (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

Celeste Norfleet did a great job with Reflections of You. The story of Marco and Angela was off the hook. Everytime they agreed on sumthing they always seem to get each other pissed off one way or another. At some points of the story i thought that Roberto was tring to put the moves on his big brother's woman. This book was infact good and i just loved it. My only issue is whats gonna happen if there is Roberto's story what is Marco gonna do when he finds out that his ex wife is alive and living it up with his lil brother in Texas? I want Roberto to have his one story. It should be a good one because he's a sweet heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Damn!!! I want a Marco, April 20, 2004

This review is from: Reflections of You (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was so very well written. The story line between the main characters sent so many emotions through me, frustration, admiration, jealousy, amusement, bottom line - it was excellent. Celeste did a great job weaving the story lines considering the various issues going on between the characters. I truly enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read a sequel to this story. I want to be like Angela - Just send me a Marco.
