5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Outstanding!!, August 2, 2000

By	B. J. Woodbury (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Often times it is difficult for the first-time author to make an impression on readers. It's like moving out of your family home to your first apartment, you want to show your family you can make it on your own.

Well, the debut novel for Niobia Bryant, shows us that she has stepped out here and demonstrated to us, she has just what it takes to make it as a successful author. I am quite impressed with Admission of Love for these reasons: well developed storyline, great characters, lots of humor, displayed love for family, lots of sizzling sensual love scenes a herione that takes no stuff with a strong hero to deal with and such a joy using dialouge from the other side with the deceased family members.

Chloe Bolton, super-model decides to retire and relocated to her mothers' home in South Carolina where she comes face to face with her hero Devon Jamison who happens to have an identical twin brother name Deshawn. Now, you know the rules, I cannot give the story plot away, but trust me on this book...It is sooooo good and you won't want to put the book down until you finish it.

I loved all aspects of this book that sometimes was like one step forward and two steps back with Devon and Chloe. I also enjoyed the special dialouge the author uses with those family members who have died being like the special guardian angels, that seemed to add a special touch for me personally.

Niobia, you did an outstanding performance on your debut book and I feel a sequel in the make on this one, don't ask me how, you just got to read this book and find out the answer for yourself. Looking forward to your next one!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, yes, yes those Jamison Twins are something else!!, November 9, 2000

By	"missnikki" (Ft. Pierce, FL USA) - See all my reviews

I agree with Crytal, five is definitely not enough! Ok, this is one of arabesque's best novels for the month of August. I absolutely loved this story. Chloe and Devon were great together. I laughed so much reading this book. "Admission of Love" was a very refreshing read. I loved Chloe's character, she really knows how go after her man. Devon put up a good fight, but was no match for the lovely wills Chloe put on him! The storyline for this book was one of my favorites, if not my favorite! The idea behind two people really not liking each other when they initially meet, but passionate sparks fly between anyway is so good to me! This book really did remind me of my favorite book of all times "Fire and Desire" by Brenda Jackson. That really means a lot coming from a die hard fan of Jackson's. The girl can really throw down on some paper!! A very extremelly, I mean great read! Nice job Bryant!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book goes on my read over and over again shelf, August 4, 2000

By	Jeanette Cogdell (Douglasville, GA USA) - See all my reviews

All I have to say is, "Run right out and buy this book". I really enjoyed this story. It was so good. This book was light and very easy to read. The characters were so real and reminded me of people I know. I could see a lot of myself in this female character.

The story is about Chloe, the beautiful supermodel, who has retired due to burnout. She's also tired of NY, so she has decided to build a house in her mom's hometown of Holtsville, SC. The rugged, handsome, fine, construction worker/builder/architect Devon is building her house. Devon has no respect for supermodels. He thinks they are airheads strung out on drugs. So, when he and Chloe meet, not only do the sparks fly, but so does the name calling.

Chloe knows what she wants (Devon) and is not afraid to go after it. There are so many funny lines in this story. I really enjoyed reading this book. Chloe says things like, "If you don't keep my name out of your mouth..." That sounds just like something I would say. Or "What the devil is wrong with you?" She also has a down to earth, tell it like it is best friend. Like we all have.

Then there is Nana Lil, Devon's grandmother. She is such a lovable character who speaks her mind and sounds nothing like the grandmothers I know. At one point in the book, she knocks on the door and yells out, "You two are mighty quiet in there. Whatever it is you're doing, don't need to be done in my room!" That was too funny.

Just like any good romance story, there is someone in the background secretly in love with your man, plotting to steal him behind your back. Okay, okay, I'll say no more. Just read the book.

Did I mention the love scenes? One word, "HOT"! Great job Niobia. I am so looking forward to your next book.
