She may be a good writer, but......., August 1, 2006
This review is from: Someone To Love (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the excerpt and immediately purchased the book, only to discover I should have waited to borrow it from the library. Shae met a man on a flight from Malibu to Chicago, left the airport with him, took him to her hotel to drop off luggage and went to dinner with him without ever letting anyone know that she was with him or even who he was. I think anyone over the age of four knows not to go anywhere with a stranger. She proceeded to spend everyday with him and within a couple of weeks of meeting, she had gone with him to purchase her car, rented his brother's penthouse and had told his sister she felt rejected whenever he put his career before her. The majority of the book was spent complaining that her father, who built a multimillion dollar company, worked too much while she was a child and comparing J.D.(the lead male character)to him. This book had a few redeeming chapters near the end, but it was too little too late. Wasn't worth the money I spent on it!!!

Should have read a review, August 7, 2006
This review is from: Someone To Love (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the cover of this book and purchased it as well. Should have just read it in the store. At first I thought, finally, a story without all the drama of a one-night stand produces baby & not gonna tell the father or domination of alpha male by a female who nitpicks on the littlest of things. Shae with her poor-little-rich-girl-everybody-disappoints-me attitude was annoying. What I read was a story about a priviledged girl who wanted to save the world with her nursing skills but couldn't understand how JD (male lead) could go out to do what he thought was good in helping a young fatherless male grow up. First of all, they met on a plane and he treated her so well she never had to put her feet on the ground. She and JD met and were in each other's back pockets by the time the plane landed. Why is it that the hero is the one who has to make all the sacrifices? She didn't make not one. The book had a few redeeming scenes, but overall, lacked any compromise that characterizes a real relationship.

A Lovely Read, November 10, 2006
This review is from: Someone To Love (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Someone To Love by Karen White-Owens is the third issue in a string of books featuring members of the Daniels' family. "You Are Loved" follows Lisa Daniels as she struggles with infertility. The second book, "Circles of Love" tells the story of her brother David. David's quest for success threatens his family life. In "Someone To Love", Lisa and David's baby brother James Daniels, J.D., quickly falls head-over-heels for Shae Weitherspoon.
Shae, a nurse practitioner from California, begins a new life away from her wealthy, overprotective parents. Against her better judgment and upbringing, Shae accepts a dinner invitation from J.D. only hours after landing in the Windy City . Their romance takes off with a running start. Her life seamlessly falls into place: she has a wonderful new beau, she is warmly welcomed into J.D.'s family, and she has a job that allows her to help those in need. Unfortunately, J.D.'s career is the one area of their relationship that is not in sync. The demands placed on J.D. by his clients have led to broken promises and missed engagements. Shae has accepted this type of disappointment from her overachieving father for most of her life...now she must decide if she can accept it from the man she loves.
White-Owens writing is clear, emotional and endearing. Her characters are so likable, I almost wonder if they are too good to be true. There are a few interesting, but undeveloped storylines that hint at a fourth book in the Daniels series.
This book is written for romantics. In an age of over-the-top erotic fiction, this book reminds you that courting is still a wonderful and meaningful experience.
