REVIEW: Cosmic Rendezvous by Robyn Amos

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book ReviewsAfrican American / astronaut / Harlequin / Kimani Romance / POC / POC author15 Comments

Dear Ms. Amos, The blurb of this book got me to buy it. Books with unusual professions for the characters always make me sit up and take notice. Of course then it has to actually be fun to read and well written for me to finish it. Luckily for me, ... more >

REVIEW: Sugar Rush by Elaine Overton

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews / EbooksAfrican American / Harlequin / Harlequin Kimani / POC / POC author / secrets4 Comments

Dear Ms. Overton, Did someone describe your book as being about cooking? Sweets? Falling in love? Oh, yes. All of the above. And since I have no “won’t” power when confronted with anything sweet, I was so there about getting it. And reading it. It was just writing a review ... more >

REVIEW: Private Lives by Gwynne Forster

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C- Reviews / EbooksAfrican American / Contemporary / Harlequin / Kimani Romance / POC / POC author5 Comments

Dear Ms. Forster, Several things about the back blurb for your book grabbed my attention.

REVIEW: The Pledge by Chandra Sparks Taylor

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews / EbooksAfrican American / Harlequin / POC / POC author / Young-Adult16 Comments

Dear Ms. Taylor, Wow, you have packed a lot of story into this book. From the blurb Raised in a strict household, sixteen-year-old Courtland Murphy never had a date. But that was before the guy of her every dream-‘basketball star Allen Benson-‘asked her out. She’s gone from never-been-kissed to dating ... more >

REVIEW: The Holiday Inn Anthology by Farrah Rochon, Stefanie Worth and Phyllis Bourne Williams

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book ReviewsAfrican American / Contemporary / holiday setting / Marriage-in-Trouble / POC / POC author5 Comments

Dear Ladies, I’m often leery of trying anthologies. Generally there’s one author I want to read, a few I’ll deal with and at least one I automatically skip. Or, behind door number two, there’s one story I’ll love, one or two that are readable and one that’s just awful. So, ... more >
