I have read a couple of books by Candice Poarch, this just did not live up to the others. The storyline was much too slow in developing. You should have spent more time developing the characters and less time on the boring story. It was so slow that I couldn't even finish it.

Ms Poarch's book was our reading for the month of February. This book was a first for some of our members. They had never had the experience in read romance before. All of us thoroughly enjoyed this book. Our Club is based in the WashDC Metro Area so, the locations mention in "Tender Escape" was easy for us visualize. All of us anonymously agree, that story line was great. Made you eager to turn the next page. It really made you want to cheat by jumping to the back to find out who did it. We all are eager, to see what becomes of Craig, Rochelle, and Allen. Of course, would like to her write Bill and Ronnie's story. Everyone needs a little romance. Thanks Candice, waiting on the next book.

Ok, if this book seems that this book as not too hot, it wasn't! But it did have great characteristics of a mystery/suspense novel. Hello, where was the romance? A fellow reviewer said something about not to expect good things from Poarch, but her pervious works are the bomb, it was just this book. Poarch is my girl, but I felt this book could have been more romantic than it was. Olivia and Clifton seemed to fall into the some type of partnership, before I know it they were in love and in a personal relationship, what's up with that! One minute their on a steakout, then all of a sudden in each others arms. I just felt there should have been more romance, since it is being called a romance novel!! I loved the way Poarch brought to light the delicate issue of loving someone for who they are on the inside, instead of just the outside! It was a very easy read, but not at all what I am used to from Poarch to produce! But I'm still a big fan!

that I've seen. If this is any indication for Ms. Poarch, then I say not to expect great things from her. I mean, the plot seemed like it could've gone further if only she didn't make it seem so dull. It's almost as if they (the characters) fell for each other too soon and she felt like she had to drag it out to meet a page quota or something. I dunno, maybe somebody else will like this book better, but for me it seemed more like a stretched out mystery, with a drawn out love story attached.
