4.0 out of 5 stars Romance at its Best, August 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: SILKEN BETRAYAL (Paperback)

This is the kind of story which makes you feel all warm inside. You get caught up with the efforts of the hero to win the affection of the heroine, without compromising himself or reneging on a promise. You struggle with the heroine as she tries to come to grips with both her past and her future. I had difficulty putting it down, and the story has remained on my mind. There's a good blend of romance, sex, and conflict. I thought that there could have been a little more mystery. However, the book is obviously a romance first and foremost and not a mystery. Not too much tension, but just enough to capture and hold the reader's interest. If you love a romance, and appreciate reading of African-American heros and heroines who reflect good sound values, then you'll love this book. I did.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not as good as her others, May 16, 2001

This review is from: Silken Betrayal (Mass Market Paperback)

I thought Silken Betrayal was good, its a little different from her other story lines, (them wanting at first sight, dieing to touch, several hot and steamy kisses and love scene), you know! Anyway it took me 2 days to read it, when I usually finish her book in one. I thought it took to long for the heroine and hero to get together, she pushed him away more times then not. The ending however showed promise, it was what saved the book for me and the introduction of Sonja and Drake's story I want to read more about them. She is still one of my favorite authors. I think Undeniable was my favorite.
