Book Description

Series: Kimani Romance | Publication Date: October 1, 2009

Warrick Mayne has spent twelve years blaming Raina St. James for ruining his sister's life. Now the self-made millionaire has the perfect opportunity for payback--knocking down Raina's luxury day spa to build an office complex. But his plan has met a hitch, in the delectable form of Raina herself.

He may be her enemy now, but long ago, Raina had a secret crush on her friend's gorgeous older brother. And time has only enhanced Warrick's appeal. When an innocent business trip to Warrick's out-of-town estate turns unmistakably seductive, they succumb to their electrifying mutual attraction. But it'll take more than one encounter of sensual healing-- no matter how blissful--to open Raina's and Warrick's eyes to the passionate, heartbreaking truth.

Raina & Warrick what can I say that has not already been stated, this was my first book by this author, and won't be my last. Raina has been in love with her best friends brother since she was ten although Warrick and his family were from the "wrong" side of track, Raina still loved him. Warrick sister goes to jail and everyone in his family including Warrick blame Raina, now 12 years later he is back, to even the score, however seing Raina after all these years changes something in him. Raina is a stong willed women, and Warrick is a self made man.
Seeing each other again stir something in Warrick that he didn't know were there. This is really good story about teenage love, most adults always say you grow out of it, but not in this case. Very funny book, that every true romance reader will love.

LOVED IT!!! I am a new fan of Ms. Smith's and I must admit I am a fan by accident. I read the second book,Recipe for Temptation first, so I already knew a little bit about Warrick and Raina. Lord have mercy I loved this story.

I like how she words things, I feel like I am reading about a good girlfriend when I read her stories. I like that she takes time to not only allow a relationship to evolve but to stoke the fires of desire and passion between the H/H. I was nearly 3/4 through the book before Warrick and Raina even had sex and I was so hyped up by their previous encounters that it was more powerful in some respects. Then the love scenes from that point on were volcanic. LOVED, LOVED,LOVED it!

I also like how her books have such an emphasis on family and helping others. Warrick was a millionaire and could have been really over the top but he was so normal and down to earth that you had to love him. Raina was funny and sweet but she had a good, strong back bone and had not problem telling Warrick off and then when she thought about her actions, she had no issues admitting when she was wrong. That's a real women. I enjoyed that about her character. I can't wait to read the third book in this series this fall.

BUY this BOOK!!! If you have limited money and don't want a dud!! BUY THIS BOOK!!!

I liked Warrick & Raina well written book. I was surprise though in the book what he found about about his dad (trying to say it without spoiling it)but it was a nice read for me i'm glad Raina stood up to him when it came to her store.
