Can I just say I love "discovering" new authors.  I thoroughly enjoy being surprised by a new writers work to the point of looking forward to finding and reading more of their books.  While awaiting the new release of a tried and true favorite author, it's so nice to stumble upon or be introduced to a new author or an existing author whose work I've never had the pleasure of reading.

I've been in the midst of editing and re-editing my current project, however I decided to reward myself with a "little" reading time.  BIG MISTAKE. :) After winning, You Can't Plan Love in a blog contest I had been eyeing the book on my Kindle Fire off and on.  Finally I decided to read a few pages of the first Chapter and from there I was hooked.

SYNOPSIS:
The story centers around Kenyatta Copeland and Malcolm Patterson.  Kenyatta has allowed herself to be swayed by passion and emotions so much in her past relationship disasters that she is now determined to play it safe and stay away from men who elicit any degree of lust and desire from her traitorous body.  She is engaged to Brad, a man that she is not in love with, all the while pining away for her boss Malcolm.  Malcolm is doing his own fair share of lusting over Kenyatta but is determined not to engage in an interoffice affair.  All bets are off once he finds out about her engagement and he becomes determined to show her all the reasons why she should give them a chance.  Kenyatta soon realizes that her plans to play it safe in a marriage that would be built on security and convenience may not be safe at all.  After just a taste of passion in Malcolm's arms, Kenyatta remembers all the reasons why she should trust in her heart once again.

REVIEW:
This was a very well written book, with great character development and an overall interesting and entertaining plot.  The author was able to weave a believable cast of characters together in a sensual romance that kept me turning the page to find out what would happen next.  I loved the chemistry between Kenyatta and Malcolm and how it always seemed to be simmering below the surface.  The twists and turns of the story kept things at a nice pace and I especially enjoyed the ending, which in my mind was NOT the standard cookie cutter happily ever after.  It felt more true to life and I could relate to it more than I can with the endings of some novels I've read.  See HEA: Cookie Cutter Blog  Minus a few minor edit tweaks-that took nothing away from the story-I give this book four stars.  Great writing and a sensual romance novel definitely worth picking up.  You won't be disappointed.
