Summary: By far one of THE BEST romance novels...
Review: ... After reading a rather disappointing novel (At Last by Lisa Riley), I was pleasantly surprised and floored by this novel.My attention was caught and helf on to untill the very last page, when I had to admit it was over. I was left wanting more.
The characters were just perfect. They were flawed but they were also strong and courageous. I loved Harrison's character. He was strong emotionally and physically .He was also secure in himself and confident in the amazing love her shared and cherished with Jillian. Jillian is an incredible modern, smart, and independent career woman who has been through alot of pain and turmoil. What I liked about her is that she is independent and secure within herself, she is comfortable with herself and has a good and strong self-esteem. too often, writers create characters where the heroine has a negative self-esteem and seems weak and emotionally dependent upon the hero.Everywoman should be so lucky to find a man who will "be her shelter" and love her unconditionally the way Harrison does.
Miss Carmichael should stand and take a bow. She did a FANTASTIC job creating this wonderful love story filled with suspense that kept you on your toes, throughout the novel. She did this with such an amazing clarity and talent. The love scenes were AMAZING and they tastefully conveyed the love between Harrison and Jillian.
The ending was very fulfilling and satisfying..
This is a MUST read.... : )

Summary: Blend of romance and mystery
Review: Criminal defense attorney Jillian Newman has experienced her share of heartache and tragedy. Following the tragic death of her son, her husband, District Attorney Josh Williams, publicly humiliated her, divorced her and blamed her for their son's death. Jillian proved her resilience and made her law firm a success, although the long hours at the practice consumed much of her time for friends, quality time with her family, and dating. Despite her having little time for socializing, she is proud to help out clients who have been victims of bad police work. When she witnesses a murder in her office parking garage one night, things turn upside down for her yet again, and she is forced to deal with the same police she has battled in the past. Detective Harrison Blake is leading the investigation into the slain accountant's murder that Jillian witnessed. His attraction to his witness is instant and electric, in spite of their difference in skin color. When Jillian's life is threatened, Harrison's protective nature kicks in full force as he vows to protect her from the people who want her silenced about the events that took place the night of the murder. In the midst all of the threats, the protection, and the danger, Jillian and Harrison continue to dote on one another. I'LL BE YOUR SHELTER is a great blend of romance and mystery. The characters are likeable, despite their situation being annoying at times. The plot is fairly fluid and the story moves along at a nice, steady pace. At times the writing seemed a bit awkward, but it didn't detract from the story. Additionally, I liked how the race issue was addressed and not totally forgotten, as it is an issue interracial couples need to be prepared to deal with. This is a read that lovers of both romance and mystery will find enjoyable and captivating. Reviewed by CandaceK

Summary: Call me crazy but....
Review: I did not like this book. I feel that it was not written well and was very predictable. I like to read books from authors who are not as popular but for once I was really let down. I finished this book only because I started it not because it was good. The end had one surprise but that did not make up for the rest of the book. Read it at your own risk but don't say I did not warn you.

Summary: Full of suspense
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. It was full of suspense, romance, sex and action. The interracial theme was not hidden. They knew that there would be problems but together, it was something that the couple could handle. I hope that this author writes more books like this. I read this book in one night.

Summary: Pleasantly surprised!!
Review: I've passed over this book more than a few times because the summary and plot sounded so predictable and flat. Was I ever wrong!!!! This story was engaging and well-written. The pace was exceptional. The characters were not so overly-embellished that they appeared cartoonish. They were believable. The author introduced just enough additional characters to keep it interesting without diluding the primary focus. The ending was a little too quick of a tidy wrap-up in my opinion. However, it was not enough of a distraction to deminish the enjoyment of the story overall.
