"Byrd proves again that she's a wonderful storyteller." -- Romantic Times BOOKclub on The Beautiful Ones

Product Description
Second chance for romance

When it came to revitalizing relationships, Dr. Chante Valentine and Dr. Michael Valentine knew all the right moves -- except when it came to mending their own volatile vows. Since divorce would jeopardize their respective careers, the love gurus reluctantly agreed to a two-week "sex-therapy" retreat.

Getting more from the seminar than they bargained for, Chante suddenly found herself appreciating her husband's strong, lean physique for the first time in years, and Michael couldn't deny his more than platonic interest in sexy Chante. But when a devastating secret is revealed, will the love doctors lose their second chance at love . . . or add a new little Valentine to their family?

5.0 out of 5 stars If only collisions where so sexy and so much fun..., January 28, 2007

By	Reader Woman "The Book Diva" (New York) - See all my reviews

I have been a fan of Adrianne Byrd's writing for a while now. And When Valentines Collide, will not disappoint longtime readers. It didn't disappoint me at all. In this novel we have Dr. Chante Valentine and Dr. Matthew Valentine, both "love doctors" so to speak. They make their living as relationship experts. They are trained and degreed counselors. They help people stay together for a living. So, imagine the shock and horror that would occur if the world found out that America's top relationship gurus are having a little trouble in their own marriage. This book had so many laugh-out-loud moments that I found myself chuckling just about the entire time I read it. The antics that these two pull on one another had me rolling! But when they connected... when they started to work it out and get it together... Have. Mercy. Hot! I loved the way Adrianne Byrd was able to make their chemistry leap of the page. When they had their knockdown drag outs, it popped. When they were scheming and conniving to one-up one another, it sizzled. When they decided to try and save their marriage with a little sexual healing, it exploded. This book was really good. If you like movies like War of the Roses and Mr. and Mrs. Smith or if you ever wondered what would happen if Oprah hooked up with Dr. Phil, then this book might just make your day.

4.0 out of 5 stars The black Mr. and Mrs Smith, January 28, 2008

By	H "Mardea" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

This book was a fresh change from other romance novels where boy meet girl and they fall in love. In this book you could tell that they loved one another, but were dealing with past hurt and letting pride get in the way. I was laughing out loud. Chante and Matthew are two crazy people in love. Their little acts of revenge will have you laughing and thinking OMG.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hearts Aflame, July 29, 2007

By	Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews

I thought this was one of Ms. Byrd's greatest books. "When Valentines Collide" is a "touching" love story. When I say touching, I not only mean in a moving, sensitive way, but also in a physical "hitting" way. The Valentines were psychologists advising other people about their love lives when in essence the Valentines needed to stop and listen to what they were telling others and follow their own advice. They had been in love for years, but as time went by, they were so involved in their jobs until they forgot how to love themselves.

The Valentines knew they wanted something else in life, but with the heartache of so much despair in the one thing they both wanted -- a baby --, they started drifting apart. However, when their two friends and advisers stepped in and help set them on the right path, the collision course crashed and shattered the bitterness around their hearts so their love could come surfacing back through.

Again, Ms. Byrd has outdone herself. This was a truly, moving and wonderful story of love.
