Product Description
More than meets the eye
Driven and ambitious, commercial-art buyer Avery Roberts always trusts first impressions, whether it's art...or men. Sexy Quentin Davis might make her pulse race, but the smooth, laid-back charmer is not her type. Then a secret about her past comes to light, leaving her vulnerable, shattered--and turning to Quentin for strong shoulders and sympathy. One kiss, and fierce attraction takes over, leaving first impressions in a haze of sensual bliss.
Quentin's focus was always on the next assignment, leaving no room for long-term relationships or commitment.

Now sleek, sophisticated Avery has him looking beyond his camera and his career. But as love and aspirations collide, heartbreak seems inevitable, until Quentin realizes he can't picture a life--or a future--without Avery in it.

4.0 out of 5 stars (RAW Rating: 3.5) - A Love Worth Fighting For, January 29, 2008
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
A keen eye for details, Avery Roberts can spot a disaster waiting to happen a mile away. This uptight, classy, and sophisticated woman is a contemporary art buyer in New York City where she is trying to make a name for herself in the industry. Having been reared by a prominent family, she has no need to work, but her desire to make it on her own will not allow her to use her family's connections. Her first big art show is finally underway for her new artist when in walks a group of uninvited guests who are accompanied by a sexy, and handsome man who makes her lose her breath.

This breath of fresh air is Quentin Davis, an unattached world-renowned photojournalist who travels the world dating women from all walks of life with no long term commitments. Upon sight, a spark or a flicker could not be seen between the two; Avery's demeanor is so cold towards him she is quickly nicknamed "Ice Queen". His friends take notice and propose Quentin with a $50 bet in order to try and win her over. Never one to back down from a challenge, Quentin accepts and begins the journey of chipping away at her cold exterior.

Much to everyone's surprise, a deep love develops, taking them places they've never been before. They are so excited about their future until their personal lives ensues chaos, jeopardizing their budding relationship. Their lives are intertwining in ways they never thought they would which makes it impossible for their relationship to survive...or does it?

Yahrah St. John shows the reader that work must be put in for any type of relationship to work. Both Quentin and Avery had to deal with several obstacles, both personal and professional, before they could commit to one another. This love story is well-written and flows very well keeping the reader engaged with every passing chapter. The challenges presented to the couple are extreme; however, it is necessary in order to show their dedication to one another. If you're a fan of St. John this work will not disappoint you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to read more!, February 9, 2008
I read this book in two days and it only took me that long because I had to go into work one of those days! This is the first book by Yahrah St John that I've read and I'm now going to read her backlist.

I can't wait for the remaining books in the Orphan series to be released! The characters are so well developed that it seems as if they are real. Okay, I just sounded incredibly stupid typing that but it's true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finders Keepers!, March 12, 2008
By BookLover "AJ" (Saint Marcy, GA) - See all my reviews
This is the first installment of "Orphan Series" by Yahrah St. John. This book is a page-turner from beginning to end. The first orphan is Quentin Davis, a world-renowned photo journalist, who has just moved back to New York. Quentin meets Ms. Avery Roberts, who's a commercial art buyer, and she is trying to make a name for her self. When Quentin first meets Avery she is very cold hearted towards Quentin. Even though Avery finds Quentin very handsome, she assumes he's just a lower-class man off the street and treats him as one. But can Quentin's change Avery mind after making a bet with his friends that he can take the icy way from her heart. Avery will soon learn to loosen up and let her hair down, for Quentin is now in charge. When all hell breaks loss it will cause their relationship to be on rocky grounds. Can they save the love they have or will they be forced to go separate ways. This story is very entertaining!

"Then Came You", is the 2nd installment in the Orphan Series and chronicles Malik Williams' story. He a community center director, know to be stubborn. Be on the Look out for the upcoming novels about Sage, Dante and Malik. The other Orphans!
