Book Description

April 30, 2002

GOOD LOVIN'

Lyrissa Rideau's determined to reclaim her legacy: a valuable heirloom that was stolen from her family decades ago. She's been hired to evaluate the art collection of the powerful Creole St. Denis family, and her goal seems close at hand, but there's a complication -- Noel St. Denis is giving her the eye. New Orleans's most eligible bachelor, the dusky, upper-crust dreamboat is used to getting anything he desires. And if Lyrissa's to succeed, she'll have to keep her own eye on the prize ... and off of Noel's fine, manly form!

What's up with the woman? The king of the brief, hot affair, CEO Noel's got the money, the power and enough sweet talk to charm any lady -- yet Lyrissa's the first to make him consider a permanent merger. He'd love to taste those luscious full lips, but it's also clear she's got something besides loving on her mind. Lyrissa thinks her secrets and her heart are safe, but she'd better watch out -- cause sexy Noel's coming on... with a passion!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best!, July 28, 2002
This review is from: Tell Me Something Good (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was the best and I learned a lot about art history and even more about the relationships "Creole" blacks with other AAs's in Louisiana. The romance was excellent too,as was the plot, and I got a new sense of New Orleans even though I have visited it many times.I give it five stars and will read other books by Ms.Emery.

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful multicultural romance, May 1, 2002
This review is from: Tell Me Something Good (Mass Market Paperback)
Mrs. St. Denis and her grandson Noel, CEO of the Treme Corporation, hire Taylor Gallery to appraise the family art collection. Lyrissa Rideau, an assistant at Taylor, is especially pleased with the assignment because she has a personal interest. She believes that the ancestors of the St. Denis brood stole a valuable painting from her family. Lyrissa plans to get it back.

While checking into the St. Denis collection that is not fully catalogued and is spread among the extended family, Lyrissa finds Noel courting her though she rejects his advances. Noel is stunned, but he is beginning to believe in love at first sight, as he wants Lyrissa at his side. Overcoming unbelievable barriers, Noel and Lyrissa fall in love, but she wonders what will happen to their relationship when he learns how she manipulated the St. Denis and the prize she covets for her family.

Though the obstinate Lyrissa slows down the romance, her resolve enables the reader to better understand what motivates her. The story line engages the audience as the agendas of the secondary characters pop up whenever it seems as if the lead couple is taking a step closer to intimacy. Noel is a warm, compassionate person, perhaps a bit too perfect, as he patiently tries to get his beloved to see that they belong together. Lynn Emery furbishes a wonderful multicultural romance that emphasizes the depth of the female lead character's quandary between her heart and a lifetime of lessons about the ignoble thieving St. Denis brood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art Undercover, January 25, 2003
By 
Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tell Me Something Good (Mass Market Paperback)
Lyrissa Rideau has been given the job of trying to secure her family's treasured painting so she gets a job in the logical place for art to show up -- in an art dealer's shop.

Noel St. Denis' paths cross with Lyrissa's when he escorts his grandmother to the dealer's shop. Noel is very taken with Lyrissa and the feeling is mutual. However, Lyrissa's family reminds her of her obligation to family and also the commitment Noel has for his family.

"Tell Me Something Good" is about two young people who have certain family values they must honor, but who are thrown together and cannot so easily forget their feelings for each other. What will they do? Will they take "The Sunday Stroll" into paradise or will they let their families' problems dictate their lives? Read it to find out.

Ms. Emery has written another great book worth buying and reading!
