Summary: WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE WHEN WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE!
Review: But we find in this web of deceit, the hunter gets captured by the game! Ms. Monica Jackson has penned a beautiful tale of how revenge can turn around and bite the one in pursuit.Kara Smith learned on her mother's deathbed that her father (who deserted them before Kara was born) was none other than a prominent government official, Congressman Sidney Eastman. She is so incensed at this knowledge that she devises a plan to bring the Congressman down. Brent Stevens, the Congressman's Administrative Assistant is the instrument Kara initially uses to bring her plan of revenge into play. But she didn't figure on falling for the prey she had set up. The stage is set and he web begins when Kara meets Brent at a party and passes herself off as an easy "woman of the night." This in itself goes against the grain of Kara's upbringing. Her mother had provided an environment of the strictest religious edits,in which romance of the soul was a definite no no. Though the sexual tension was quite evident in this first meeting, the fulfillment was not to be. Kara accomplished her goal if stealing papers from Brent that would be detrimental to his employer (Congressman Eastman) if they should ever become public. Now the roller coaster of deceit really gets started. But the ride would take Kara on many unanticipated adventures. Now the net of deceit must expand to include meetings between Kara and her siblings Jenny and Dante. The introduction of these characters really add much drama to the situation. Ms. Jackson pens a romance tale that whets our appetites for more of the same. I personally have ordered all the rest of her books and look forward to reding them with as much enthusiasm as this one. A winnah!

Summary: You Won't Put It Down
Review: Heart's Desire was a terrific book. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and the overall pace. I read the entire book in only two sittings. That's a miracle for me (Actually a first).

Summary: Like a Pot of Stew
Review: I don't want to be a plot-spoiler. I want you to read this novel for yourselves. But, I WILL say that if you like a fast-paced novel that grabs your attention from the beginning and doesn't let go until the very end, then this is the book for you. Kara and Brent are a very human couple. Their first meeting is unconventional, to say the least! Everything about this novel is unusual, which is why I liked it so much. Ms. Jackson isn't afraid to push the envelope. It's not your average romance novel. These characters don't always behave according to societal rules. But then real-life is not cookie-cutter perfect. Nor is Kara or Brent. They have their problems, and they overcome them. Very inspirational for those of us who like a dose of reality in our modern-day fairy tales. Excellent job, Ms. Jackson!

Summary: A great story.
Review: If you like intrigue, scandalous family secrets, and mystery then you've stumbled across the right book. Kara has plans to destroy Congressman Eastman, the father she never knew who abandoned her mother before she was born. Along the way she never planned to fall head over hills in love with his assistant Brent, nor did she plan to get so involved with the Eastman family she so desperately wanted to hate. Kara bit off more than she could chew when she got mixed up with this zany family that brought new meaning to the word Dysfunctional. It's a great ride, on an adventurous roller coaster of lies, deceit, love, and forgiveness.

Summary: Read In One Day
Review: In my opinion, Ms Jackson is among the finest authors I've had the pleasure to read. Her characters are real and believable. The beginning hook brought tears to my eyes. Kara's mother believed her sacrifice would help the man she loved and that was touching. Kara and Brent are realistic heroine and hero, and I was happy they got together. I don't agree with one reviewer that the senator wouldn't have done the things he did. That person is not living in the real world. I want to read everything Monica Jackson has written. It's about time an author came along who dared break the romance mold and write really terrific novels.

Summary: I loved the book, the characters and the writing style.
Review: In the very first few pages, I was hooked. It was so sad the sacrifice Kara's mother made thinking to help the man she loved. It brought tears to my eyes. The events, the characters came across as very real to me. Ms Jackson is a strong writer. I very much like everything of hers that I've read.

Summary: A Very Good Book!
Review: Kara Kincaid is a woman with a mission. However, she does not count on Brent Stevens coming into her life or disrupting her intentions. Also, Kara did not think of others being involved or getting hurt by her actions. Kara meets Jenny Eastman and her family. They have more than one thing in common. Kara must makes some decisions that could not only hurt her and her career, but hurt a lot of other people, who she has come to care a lot about. However, can Kara let her feelings overcome her desire for revenge or will love play a major part in her "heart's desire"?
