Product Description |
|
Sultry singer Vivian Desmond would do anything for her grandmother—anything but work with her childhood enemy, Caesar Morrison. He's all grown up, but the famous pro athlete still enjoys getting under her skin. Now their matchmaking grandmothers think handing over the family business will turn spitfire rivals into lovebirds, but the man makes Vivian's blood boil. Okay, there was definitely something…hot…under all the years of feuding, and maybe it's time Caesar did something about it. Vivian always made him lose control, and now he knows why. She doesn't care about his fame, fortune or fine looks. She just knows him too well. Now all he wants is to know her—every inch of her—for a lifetime. |

Easy Read |

I really enjoyed this book. The storyline was great, it was funny, sexy and classy. I read this book in one day on one of my lazy saturdays and it was a joy to read. I will say Caesar and Viv did get on my nerves a little, but they were funny, in a way they remind me of my husband and I before we got together, we couldn't stand each other lol. Funny how that happens. But they were a cute little couple, they just needed to communicate with each other more, he should have told her what his issue was(overhearing part of a conversation) and she should have told him what hers was as well. Both of them holding it all in until it was almost too late was a mess. I loved their grandmothers though meddlesome, they meant well and were just as funny. The verbiage was very realistic, not overly done and corny like some of the Arabesque books, and no where near all out ghetto like a lot of street lit, but just right in the middle. I love the Arabesque books and now I'm a fan of the Kimani set, I get the Kimani TRU books for my daughter I had no idea they also did adult books. For me this was an enjoyable read, if your looking for a lot of action and drama, wrong book, this was easy and mellow, they had their spats and things like that, but it was more funny and relaxing than anything. |

Sultry Singer vs. Sexy Football Player |
|
I enjoyed the matchmaking schemes of the two lovable, yet meddlesome grandmothers. Despite the constant bickering that went on between their grandchildren, they could see the potential for a "perfect match". Ms. Washington crafts a sweet, humorous and spicy read. The STEAMY intimacy is definitely HOT, HOT, HOT. I found myself LOL at the "high school-like" banter and antics between Caesar Morrison and Vivian Desmond. The witty dialogue and amusing storyline made for a fun, quick and romantic read. At times, I find it hard to believe Caesar and Vivian are adults; with their immature behavior, but it definitely makes for a entertaining and lively page-turner. The HIGHLY charged emotions between Caesar and Vivian just leapt off the pages. And once Caesar and Plum spend quality time together and stop fighting with each other; they discover they actually work well together, both in and out of the office . Caesar is definitely a "prince charming" once he opens his eyes and heart and admits his true feelings for Vivian. But can Vivian trust her heart and COMPLETELY open up to Caesar and share her secret or will she continue to keep it buried with the rest of her past heartaches, and risk losing her one true love?!! |

Superficial |

The characters in this book were too caught up in who they were. It was not very realistic Viv was selfish and spoil to really care about anyone else but her self. The grandmothers needed to get a life of their own. |

A GREAT "FUN" Summer Read |
|
A great fun read. The characters were fun and their personalities were constantly clashing - until they finally figure it all out. This is a fun read, watching the singer and the ball player come to the same conclusion - that they are made for each other. This book has you laughing, crying and sighing all at once, and some really good romatic scenes. As always this author DOES deliver the goods. Can't wait for the next book. |

This story is funny, emotional and a wonderful romance story. Vivian Desmond and Caesar Morrison have been at each other since they were toddlers. When their grandmothers decide it's time for the passion between these two to lead to romance they ask them both to see over their company. After many fights the couple finally realize they do work well together but Vivian has a secret that won't allow her to let Caesar into to her heart but only in her bed. When the secret comes out and why she won't admit she loves him, he pulls away from her. Will she overcome her doubts and allow him to love her and be in her life forever or will she allow her fears to cause her to lose her one true love and best friend? |
