Review:

"Till You Come Back To Me" by Chicki Brown...

What was this novel about?

"Atlanta plastic surgeon Charles Stafford is giving up his successful practice to volunteer his services in Nigeria with a medical organization. Even though he’s excited about this major career move, he has no idea how much his life is about to change.

Nurse Adanna Okoro is one of the six medical professionals working at a small village hospital thirty minutes outside of Lagos, Nigeria. She loves her job and is devoted to the people she serves. When the hospital is notified that it has been chosen to host a team of foreign doctors, Adanna meets the man she has always dreamed of."

What I like about this novel...

This novel was a sweet romance featuring Charles Stafford and Nurse Adanna Okoro. This was the second one of the Stafford brothers and I did found the read definitely somewhat different from the first series. It was interesting in seeing some of the family drama that did go on in each of the families of Charles and Adanna and seeing how they go through it all is really amazing by the end of the story. Charles is finding is professional fulfillment after he starts working in Africa and meeting Adanna who was a nurse . This author really presents us a well written story of bringing these two together and I will stop here and say you must pick up the good read to see for yourself how it all comes out.

What I also loved about this read.....

The author really presented to the reader some excellent knowledge of the Nigerian culture and their politics. I loved the interest taken with baby Chichi. This Doctors Without Borders was quite interesting group of Doctors.

Overall impression....

"Till You Come Back To Me" was a very easy nice pace read that was very understandable, along with it being entertaining that will keep your attention. It was a good follow up from the first series featuring a Stafford brother Marc... with this series being of Charles. That only leaves me to say I will be waiting for the next series featuring Greg Stafford in 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough.'

A Man's Promise

Title: A Man's Promise Author: Brenda Jackson Publisher: Harlequin MIRA Series: Granger #2 Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: 5 Review:
"A Man's Promise" by Brenda Jackson...
"A man's word is his bond. His family is his strength. His heart is his own.
Superstar musician Caden Granger has spent years running from love, commitment and family. Yet despite his fame and fortune, he knows the kind of respect and adoration he needs can only come from one person—the very woman who wants nothing to do with him.
Corporate fund-raiser and society maven Shiloh Timmons finally got her life on track once her relationship with Caden ended, and she's in no hurry to revisit a romance with the man she left standing at the altar.
If Caden can't have Shiloh by his side, all the success in the world will mean nothing. Now he has a chance to renew his promises…but is it too late?"
What I enjoyed about the read...
I loved it and found it a continuation of the first series...'A Brother's Honor.' I would definitely suggest you read the first series to truly understand what is going on in the second series. "A Man's Promise" was mainly of Caden Granger and Shiloh Timmons love story and it was a real interesting one that will bring to us 'lies, misunderstandings, secrets hurt and betrayal.' Now add some mystery, suspense, romance, drama and conspiracy into all of that and you have one amazing story that just keep on going into the next series. ..Dalton's story. I don't want to give too much away just know that the Granger brothers...Jace, Caden and Dalton will give you a such a intensed read from start to finish. By picking up 'A Man's Promise' you will find that this author has done a excellent job giving us a well written novel from start to finish with all of its twist and turns. The characters were all simply off the chart ...well wait a moment...their were a few to shake you head at...but mostly all were well developed, well portrayed, colorful and so believable only helping to give the reader a well attention grabber and oh yes I loved that ending...a cliffhanger. This was very well done. The only thing left to say is I will be waiting for the next series.. about Dalton and I am sure there will be even more for us... unlocking and tying it all together in this who, what, when and why of it all in this last series.
