This review is from: Slow Motion: Capture The Sunrise\Dark and Dashing (Arabesque) (Paperback)

In the enticing novella SLOW MOTION, readers are introduced to BET Publications' first male Arabesque romance authors Wayne Jordan and R. Barri Flowers, writing as Devon Vaughn Archer.

Capture The Sun by Wayne Jordan takes us to a little cottage situated on the enchanted beaches of Barbados where Alana Smyth-Connell and her daughter are hiding out from her ex-husband. However, they are not alone. Taurean Buchanan, in need of solace from the outside world, is also there. His brother has offered him the use of his vacation house for a few months. Unbeknownst to Tauren and his brother, his sister-in-law has also granted Alana use of the cottage. Although they decide to make the best of the situation, the instant attraction between them will cause some problems.

In Devon Vaughn Archer's Dark and Dashing readers are introduced to Conneca Sheridan owner of the Sheridan Seaside Inn. While at a charity auction to promote literacy, one wrong move causes Conneca to offer the highest bid for renowned author Maurice Templeton. After a night on the town followed by a passionate kiss, Conneca makes it clear that she is not interested in a relationship. Maurice, however, has other plans. Deciding to stay in town for a few more days, he tracks Conneca down and makes a reservation to stay at her inn. What follows is a fairy tale romance, until Maurice's ex-wife/writing partner shows up.

SLOW MOTION is a well-written book with two tantalizing tales of romance. Jordan and Archer have penned wonderful stories. The storylines, characterizations and plots were on point. Each page flowed from chapter to chapter without missing a beat. Highly recommended, SLOW MOTION is a novella that will be enjoyed by readers for years to come.

This review is from: Slow Motion: Capture The Sunrise\Dark and Dashing (Arabesque) (Paperback)

"Capture the Sunrise" by Wayne Jordan. Patrick allowed his brother Taureen, who carries seven years of emotional baggage, to use his home on Barbados. However, Patrick's wife Paula told Alana to use the place with her young daughter Melissa. The two females obviously fear seeing a big man in the house as neither trusts males thanks to the abuse of Blake, Alana's ex-husband and Melissa's dad. As Taureen falls in love with both females, Blake comes to enforce their wedding vows.

"Dark and Dashing" by Devon Vaughn Archer. In Oak Cliffs, Oregon, very tall hotel owner Conneca attends the celebrity auction to raise funds to battle child illiteracy. The bidding on a handsome hunk reaches $5K when Conneca scratches her cheek and wins the prize, a night with Maurice. Surprising both of them, Conneca and Maurice are attracted to one another, but she has doubts about his faithfulness as he collaborates on a book with his ex-wife Alexis while staying at her hotel.

Both of these tales are well-written and star terrific lead couples and a fully developed support cast (including the deranged Blake). Fans of contemporary romance starring real people will want to read these two novels as SLOW MOTION is a sure bet to entertain the audience.

This review is from: Slow Motion: Capture The Sunrise\Dark and Dashing (Arabesque) (Paperback)

Capture the sunrise; wow strong emotions in this book - Wayne Jordan writes just as well as any female romance writer. His hero and heroine find their way to each other cautiously - Taurean, a man not afraid to show his emtions whether it be passion or tears and Alana having to deal with her fears. Melissa the kid was cute without being syrupy sweet and as for Blake - totally insane. And as for Barbara a real West Indian 'auntie'. I never felt compelled to visit Barbados before only been there in transit but this book changed my mind.
The other book well I give it 3 stars I also could not see the attraction - the heroine seemd to fly off the handle so easily. Why expect a guy she just met to declare a serious commitment just cos he bedded you a few times - get real woman!
