Summary: RATED FOUR STARS!
Review: Being a full-figured woman myself, I'm thrilled that FANTASY, my first full length novel featuring a full-figured heroine, has received such a heartwarming response from readers and critics alike! My warmest thanks to you all. I welcome your comments via E mail, or to my website (www.geocities.com/Soho/9823)

Summary: This one is a cruise straight into fun!
Review: Being a woman of few words, I am pleased that Ms. Manees is not. Her characters are fun and the situations bright. I only wish she'd written "Dizzy Izzy's" story separately.

Summary: GREAT STORY; LOVED THE MALE LEAD AND THE AWESOME FEMALE LEAD
Review: I COULD APPRECIATE THIS BOOK BECAUSE THE AUTHOR USED A FEMALE LEAD CHARACTER THAT WAS A FULL-FIGURED WOMAN. MS. MANEES SHOWED THAT ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. I LOVED THE TROPICAL SETTING AND THE DIVERSITY OF PERSONALITIES IN THIS BOOK. THE EVIL WITCH CHANTAL WAS A BONUS. READERS ALWAYS LOVE TO HATE SOMEONE.

Summary: The Most Enjoyable Novel Ever!!!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the romance between Sam and Tony. It makes you wonder if there is such a thing as love at first sight. I got so wrapped up in this story. I couldn't put this book down. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to work, I would have finished this book in one day instead of two days. I was also so excited to read that the heroine was a full-figured women. It is always good to read a book that celebrates full-figured women. I highly recommend this book to everyone. You will not be disappointed. In fact, I want to go on a cruise even more now than I did before. Manees' writing was so vivid and clear that I actually felt like I was right there with the characters.

Summary: Not bad, not bad at all
Review: Ms. Manees continues to write stories about real down-to-earth people with flaws like everyone else but who are not enslaved by those flaws (and I am NOT referring to weight here). I loved the beautiful full-figured heroine, who was as confident as she was beautiful. I really liked the way we were introduced to the metamorphosis of Tony Harmon from a philandering playboy to the mature sensitive hero of the novel, who was not afraid to reveal his vulnerabilities to the woman he loved. I also liked the part Chantal had to play. As another reader wrote, we like having somebody to hate, and she added some flavour to the antics on the cruise.My one criticism would be that this is the kind of story which could have used some more time for developing the relationship between the two main characters. I guess the length of the book didn't permit this. But, I found that the having the whole relationship take place during the short space of time of the cruise, was a little contrived and not in keeping with the relatively cautious and practical nature of the characters. As usual, Ms. Manees has written another sweet, sensitive, humourous and utterly romantic story which will surely thrill her audience. I still prefer All My Love (there's just something special about that story for me), but this story is still quite impressive. I continue to look forward to more novels from Ms. Raynetta Manees.

Summary: The Most Enjoyable Novel Ever!!!
Review: Ms. Manees' full-figure heorine Sameerah, a no nonsense singer/songwriter/musician is a lady (accent on the word), who is quick with the verbal comeback. Speaking of comebacks, Tony is hoping his is a success and Sam will be his. Chantal is a nasty adversary who I also pitied. The characters breathes life in Raynetta's clever hands. Ms. Manees succinctly portrays stardom as a result of hard work, full of stress and joy. Positive messages abound and is woven cleverly into the story with a flair that is the author's trademark. The cruise and Carribean settings makes me contemplate a trip even though I cannot afford a stateroom. I read it more that once, making it a book to savor. A novel to get away from it all. Another winner by Raynetta Manees.

Summary: A Super Book
Review: Smaeerah and Tony was made for each other. This book is entertaining and full of twists and turns. I lost a few nights sleep finishing this novel. You will enjoy this one. My favorite book is still "All for Love" by Ms. Manees. This book comes in on a close second.
