4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable contemporary romance, June 1, 2008
This review is from: Release Me (African American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
The car accident ended NBA basketball player Toby Holmes' career, but he did not mope over what could have been; instead since his forced sports retirement he became an entertainment manager concentrating on music talent. He becomes euphoric when Marshall Kellerman of Over the Edge Productions offers his client Aria Jordon a fabulous deal that will make her famous. To help, Toby hires a management company to help promote his star.

His childhood friend Sienna Culpepper is put in charge of the publicity. She assumes Aria and Toby are seeing each other and becomes jealous because she is attracted to him like always. Meanwhile Aria also wants Toby, but turns to his long time rival hoping to generate jealousy. On the other hand Toby heeding his older brother's warning is careful with his relationship with Aria and begins to fall in love with Sienna. Chaos becomes the norm for this foursome.

RELEASE ME is an enjoyable contemporary romance starring likable lead characters who forge a triangle of sorts that converts into a rectangle. Although resolution could have occurred faster, fans will relish this fine tale as Toby falls in love with Sienna, who has loved him since they were children, but assumes he will never reciprocate and besides he has Aria. Farrah Rochon entertains with an entertainment romance.

This review is from: Release Me (African American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second book involving the Holmes family. The first book told the story of Dr. Eli Holmes and this one is about NBA hopeful Tobias 'Toby' Holmes. Tobias was injured in a car accident which ended his career and now he is pursuing a career in music. He discovers a young lady who has the voice to take her to the next level and he is her manager. His childhood friend Sienna Culpepper works for the promotion firm that he chooses to promote Aria's career. She has loved him always but he has not contacted since his injury. They rekindle their friendship which ends up in romance this go around with a whole lot of drama in the mix. This is a great story and now I hope that Farrah writes a story about their brother Alex.

3.0 out of 5 stars Please Release me from this Madness, May 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Release Me (African American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read Deliver me and thought I would find out what was happening with the Holmes clan. This book was all over the place from Toby and Sienna to the missing mama, Sienna's mama and her sister and Toby's friend to Alex and his issues. It was just to busy. Sienna and Toby never seem to grow up in this book it felt like they were still traped in High School. She was in love with him and was mad because he didn't figure it out. He was still trying to find a career after 10 years and affarid to tell his family he had money.

For someone to have been sexually assaulted and was still affarid of being itimated she got over that pretty quickly after all those years. That just didn't seem real. Sienna's mother was crazy and her sister.

This book was ok but nothing great.
