Rating:  Summary: Mediocre at best Review: A brief synopsis: Sass goes to Paris for work (and also to get a little vacation time in). She never expected to run into her ex in the most romantic city in the world; even worse, she never expected herself to fall for him all over again. But is her heart ready to accept that he's a changed man, or will he break her heart again. Honestly, I didn't enjoy this book as much as I hoped I would. The reason for this was because I couldn't connect to the characters. Most my time was spent thinking, "Who talks like this when telling their girlfriend about an ex?" I also thought the plot was a little contrite, but it was consistent, and that's the important thing. I liked the premise for the story. The characters had potential to make me love them, the love scenes were very sensual, and (like I said) the plot was consistent. However, there seems to be this formal tone that left me feeling "cold". This was my first book by this author, but I won't let the cold formality of it sway me from reading more of her work.
Rating:  Summary: too long and too detailed Review: I am really trying to complete this book, but boy is it hard. I'm on page 2XX and still nothing. I think the plot is fine, but the story is too long and too much about nothing. I like the different worlds and cultures expressed in the story, but once Sass and Kristopher get together, the celebration of their union and Sass' fears are reiterated over and over again for at least 200 pages or so. Another anoying thing that really bothers me is that...the audience can assume that everyone gets up and is clothed and fed. My goodness! I hate to read details like what the characters ate for breakfast or the details of how they got dressed or which road was taken to get from one town to another. Too detailed. The book was also a little sappy with the "you are my universe and I'll chase you to the moon and we'll sail together through the hemilayas" lingo. I just didn't enjoy it as much I've enjoyed some of the other books written by Ms. Hudson-Smith. Sorry-
Rating:  Summary: Ok but could have been better Review: I enjoyed the story between Sass and Kristopher but one of my huge problems was that Kristopher did not appear to be believable. Not only was he not believable as a man who had scorned Sass in the past, she was not believable as a once scorned woman. She gave in too fast then gave up just as quickly. She appearned to have mental problems. I did enjoy finding out the mystery concerning her past with Kristopher. This was the only thing that kept me interested and not able to put the book down. And in the end I sure was surprised. The romance could have been alot better.
Rating:  Summary: Way too long Review: I just finished this book, and I'm sorry to say I had to force myself to read it. I normally get through a romance book in a week. I just don't like this author's style of writing, and I don't see myself trying to read any more of her books. I may put mine up for sale.

Rating:  Summary: way to long Review: I LIKE THE FACT THAT THIS BOOK TAUGHT THE LESSON THAT THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON. I LIKE THE WAY THAT SASS HANDLED HERSELF WITH THE WOMEN THAT WERE AFTER CHRISTOPHER. I ALSO LIKED THE WAY THEY COMMUNICATED THEIR FEELING MOST OF THE TIME. HOWEVER, I FOUND THAT THE BOOK LACKED SUBSTANCE BECAUSE IT WAS 398 PAGES TOO LONG. SASS WAS INDECISIVE FOR TOO LONG AND HER SECRET WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY THE STORY. I WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS. MAYBE IF THE BOOK WAS SHORTER IT WOULD HAVE HELD MY INTEREST, BUT I FOUND MYSELF CONTINUING BECAUSE I HATE STARTING A PROJECT AND NOT FINISHING IT.

Rating:  Summary: Beverly B Review: Mrs L. has done it again. Sass is a beautiful love story which portrays love, deception, hurt, heartache and forgiveness. The settings for this story was beautiful Paris and California. Sass, a news correspondent has a lot of insecurities, anger and unforgiveness in her heart and will never trust her heart to another living soul except her adopted son Justin or so she thought when she and her best friend vacationed in Paris she meets the man who broke her heart into tiny little pieces four years ago and this is where it all begins again.... Kristopher a renowned photographer and loaded$$$$meets the love of his life in a little bestro and he knows this time he has to get it right with her in order for her to be a part of his life forever and this is where it all begins again.... You'll love this romance because it builds and builds and things happen in it that you would not conceive. I'll leave this question with you, just who is Justin's real parents? The love scenes in this beautiful romance is sometimes breathtaking- read it you'll agree with me. I thoroughly enjoyed this romance and am waiting for the next one Linda. Great job.
Rating:  Summary: To much time wasted!!!!!!! Review: This is one of the worse books I have ever read. The main character does nothing for the image of african american women. She is very weak and to caught up in her own self pity. The author spent so much time trying to be descriptive the plot of this story is lost. I had to force myself to finish this book.
