Someone to Love Me [Mass Market Paperback]

Francis Ray (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 7, 2003

Nine years ago, Michelle Grant was at rock bottom--until a chance meeting with a stranger gave her hope...and her first delicious taste of passion. Now a successful businesswoman, Michelle still remembers the man she knew only as B.J.. And when fate brings them together again, the feelings she had for him come rushing back. But as soon as Brad Jamison speaks, Michelle realizes that the caring man she once knew is now a hardened businessman without warmth or tenderness, and he doesn't remember her...

Brad has heard the rumors that Michelle's success may be die more to her looks than her brain--but he doesn't believe them. He knows how hard it can be for a black woman to get ahead in business. Indeed, when Brad finally meets Michelle, her head for business impressed him--while her almond skin and smooth curves send his mind reeling. She seems so sweet...even familiar. But if he discovers the shared past that only she remembers, will it tear them apart forever?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Michelle Grant has succeeded in the Dallas real-estate business on much more than her good looks, youth, and seductive outfits. Even with her financial success, Michelle neither has nor wishes to have a serious relationship. She lives with her wheelchair-bound older brother, Nick, who is overprotective and emotionally demanding. When Michelle finally meets her new client, Brad Jamison, she is left speechless. Michelle remembers him kindly from her past because he offered her compassion during a rough time in her life. Now, nine years later, his good looks and great fortune make him all the more attractive, but then they start furiously bidding against one another for a piece of real estate. Each soon must decide whether the relationship is worth more than the property or whether being apart will ease their pain and resolve their impasse. Ray has written another entertaining romance, which includes the added bonuses of a short story and an excerpt from her upcoming novel. Lillian Lewis

This review is from: Someone to Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)

Francis Ray has done it again! She has crafted another well written story, complete with strong characters, an engaging and entertaining storyline, and of course, sizzling passion! Whether it be a cold winter night, or a hot summer day, SOMEONE TO LOVE ME (which includes a bonus short story and a sneak peek at her next book) is sure to leave you with that warm, fuzzy feeling that only a great romance novel can provide. This is sure to be a favorite among romance readers, and one that I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Formerly Titled "Fallen Angel", February 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Someone to Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)

This is an excellent book, but I wanted to let others know in case they are unaware, that this was previously titled "Fallen Angel." It was released in early to mid 90s. I would recommend this book, but I wanted to warn others that they might be purchasing a book they already own.

This book was excellent. Ms Ray did a wonderful job with this one. All the characters were fun and interesting, especially Brad. One minute he's a nice guy and the next, he's ready to rip someone's head off. The way he and Michelle interact with each other is special, and when she slapped the "$%@*" out of him....priceless!! Some of the dialogue between the two was hilarious. Alex, his sister Cassie, Michelle's brother Nick, Stan and Clint need stories of their own...that would be a hoot as well. I also enjoyed the short story at the end of the book. You're simply FAB Ms. Ray.
