I started reading this book first because someone recommending it as a good bwwm book. However, you really need to begin with the first book in the series to understand this one. Unfortunately the first one is not as well written as this one, however, you need it. This book: I like the fact that although the hero was huge and could be a bully, he was not. He was gentle and understanding to the heroine, who actually was a aggressive. She was a great AA heroine in that the focus was never on race. In fact, if you missed that little tidbit either in the first book or in minimal descriptions in this book, you might not ever know. For me, that is the type of bwwn book I like. Create a good character and make her black and that's all you need. You don't have to "ghettorize" the character to give her appeal. Also, I love the fact that she is super smart. I enjoyed the patience he has with her in allowing their relationship to develope as much as time would allow. Good bwwm read if you can get through the first book.

4/5/10-I upgraded the stars because I have read this book and Here Kitty Kitty again since this review.

“Conall checked his watch. Again. Soon his personal wet fantasy would be here. He wondered if it would be inappropriate to tackle her in the hallway as soon as she arrived and drag her up to his bedroom. Probably. Damn human etiquette.”

The FountainPenDiva, Old school geek chick and lover of teddy bears For me, that is the type of bwwn book I like. Create a good character and make her black and that's all you need. You don't have to "ghettorize" the character to give her appeal.

Miki was an awesome character because I know a lot of black women (myself included) who are very much like her and I could relate to her manner and style. This wasn't Ms. Laurenston deciding to slap a coat of brown paint for the stuff and giggles. I do agree about the whole "ghettoization" that sometimes happens with some authors, and I make a point not to read those kinds of books.


Samantha Great review and I agree with all of those points.
