Product Description

In “Soul's Desire,” Maxima Reed and Jurel Reed are a couple struggling to deny many truths. For Jurel it's the fact that he's been in love with his brother's wife from the moment they met. For Maxima, Jurel was a friend and confidant. Anything more was out of the question and Max didn't entertain so much as the thought of it. Then Max loses her husband in a fatal motorcycle crash. Slowly, the feelings both she and Jurel fought so long to hide gradually resurface in this story of dormant feelings and the consequences of missed opportunities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love in the Vineyard, May 17, 2007
This was a great story. I loved how AlTonya weaved lots of love and passion into this short story. She even blessed us with another set of twins, although they are only five years old. They seem like they are going to be heartbreakers. I would love to read more about Max and Jurel. Regina too. She seems like quite a character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but GOOD story!, May 15, 2007
Even though this is a short story she has done it again! You can tell right from the beginning the love that Max and Jury. You can feel their turmoil of them wanting to be together. We only meet the twins briefly but them seem like an intersting duo. AlTonya packs a lot into this story. I hope we see more from these characters. Job well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Washington has done it again., May 15, 2007
Ms. Washington has done it again. What a wonderful short story... the only thing missing from this is the length of the story. I would really love to read more about Jurel and Max. The fact is I really liked the characters and want to know more and more about them. I certainly hope that Ms. Washington continues writing more stories whether they are short or long, she continues to captivate the reader.
