Review:

"Tonight and Forever" by Brenda Jackson...

What was this novel about:

"After her marriage ends in bitter divorce, all Lorren Jacobs wants is to leave California behind. Returning to her roots in Texas seems to be just what the doctor ordered...until she meets real-life physician Justin Madaris. Lorren has vowed never to give her heart to another man, but she can't stop herself from responding to the handsome widower's sensuous whispers of love..."

What I enjoyed from this read...

The author did a beautiful job bringing us a romantic story of two people: Lorren Jacobs and Dr. Justin Madaris who both has some baggage that each would have to overcome before things started to happening good for them mentally, physically and even emotionally. "Tonight and Forever" was truly a good story of how these two found the true love that they both needed the second time around. The novel is definitely a attention grabber that will keep you reading and even wanting more at the end.

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.

Review:

"Surrender" by Brenda Jackson...

"After a childhood spent moving from army base to army base, Nettie Brooms is determined to secure a stable life -- and never become involved with a military man. Then she meets handsome, charming Ashton Sinclair, a dedicated Colonel in the U.S. Marines, who's intent on capturing her heart. Now, Nettie's wondering how a man she swore she would avoid could so easily test her resolve...by igniting an irresistible passion she can't ignore."

What I liked about "Surrender" was that it was a continuation of the Madaris family stories. This story was mainly about Netherland Brooms Colonel Ashton Sinclair where their will be a lots of sensual tension between these two. We have Nettie vowing never to get involved with any military men after growing up in a military family which required her moving around a lot and then here comes Ashton who will come back into her life and changes it all. Also be ready for a story that will have several other story lines that you will have to only keep up with it all. "Surrender" was truly full of sweet intriguing love stories that dud keep my attention till the end. I enjoyed how this author was able to bring along characters from her other series of the Madaris family as well as giving us some new ones as well. Even though this is a stand alone novel I would recommend to enjoy the read even more pick up the previous books in the amazing series.

"The Real Thing" by Brenda Jackson was another one of this author great Westmoreland's series. It is simply amazing how this author is able to connect her characters so well with the said story. This series has come along so very well and it still giving the readers a splendid read. In this series we find that it of Adrian Westmoreland and Trinity Matthews. What will happen when Adrian pretends to be Trinity's man. Now to get it all you must pick up the author's "The Real Thing" to see just what this pretending will produce for this couple. Be ready for a read of romance and a sexual harassment case that will turn .....well you will simply have to read it for yourself.

I found this series a very enjoyable as well as entertaining that once you start reading you will have a hard time putting it down until the end. Now for us who love this author's series we will be waiting for her next series which involves Adrian's twin brother, Aiden. Would I recommend "The Real Thing?" YES!

"What A Westmoreland Wants" by Brenda Jackson was a beautiful told story of Callum Austell getting the one and only Gemma Westmoreland. This is what a true man will do to get the one he loves and we will find after you pick up the read he does just that! Would I recommend? YES! A good romantic read.
