Not His Best.......2006-11-08
Since I read the phenomenal Do or Die and the laugh-out-loud Ladies Listen Up, my expectations of Darren Coleman are pretty high. I'll let this one slide, I guess. I contemplated putting it down for good several times throughout the book. The first half of the book was excruciating. I got bored reading about Nate's so-called strategy to dog women. Nate was no dog, he was a puppy! Now Brenda Hampton's Jaylin was a true dog - woof, woof! Cory, Brendan, and Nate were nothing to write home about. Their women problems were lame.
Most of the book was "told" to the reader. Relevant events would transpire and be narrated in simple paragraphs. Action scenes were very limited. For example, I was intrigued when Cory gave the open assistant position to a woman less qualified then the previous woman he'd interviewed. I was expecting a lot of drama to develop from that, but don't recall reading anything else about it. I believe Brendan was a department store manager...but his job was discussed minimally. Nate seemed to be very well-off with money to burn, but I really don't recall him ever going to work throughout the entire book. Did he even have a job? Was he a drug dealer? Was he living off of an inheritance? Plenty of focus was put on the women in these men's lives at the expense of everything else. The characters were completely one-dimensional.
The book didn't even get interesting until the final few chapters. Suddenly there's a climax and a reason to read the sequel.
Good Read.......2006-05-10
I enjoyed this book. It was kinda of slow at the beginning but then it picked up, boy did it pick up. I am interested to see what happened in the sequel and will be reading it next.
shocking...but real.......2006-01-12
I am an avid reader and everyone told me that when I had my baby I would not have time to read for pleasure for a long time. Well my newborn is 6 weeks old. My husband bought me this book for Christmas and I finished it in a week. What kept me reading was that I couldn't predict what was going to happen. No, I may not have agreed with the choices of the characters but it is fiction and again it kept me on my toes. It's interesting reading from the point of view of men.
Great.......2005-10-08
Darren is my cousin and our whole family is soooooo proud of him! I loved the book and I think you should give it chance...as an avid reader...I really enjoyed the book...which was a relief because I would have told Darren if I hated it!
Grab This Book!.......2005-07-26
If you are an avid reader of fictional writing - especially fictional steamy writing by African American authors - then you've probably noticed the surge of male writers over the past few years in this genre.
Add one more to your list: Darren Coleman. I met Mr. Coleman at a Harlem Book Fair last summer. I purchased a copy of the book. I read it. I was pleased that I had. The irony is, a friend had loaned me the book a month ago and it was still on my shelf. But now I had a "vested" interest in reading it.
"Before I Let Go" is the story of three black men and their struggles with their emotions and relationships. I enjoyed the characters. They weren't over the top. You would probably nod your head and think some of the characters remind you of someone you know!
The story is set in Washington, D.C. The three main characters are Nathan, Corey and Brendan. Mr. Coleman created believable characters that were fun to spend some time with. Don't get it twisted - they are not angels! But they are basically good men with issues. Trying to deal with the women in their lives and their issues (yeah I said it!).
There were a couple of interesting plot twists and turns (I ain't telling! Read the book!) that made this a good read. Be sure to add this book to your reading list for those chilly nights ahead in the fall...

Book Description
With her twenty-five glorious novels, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Christina Dodd has won the hearts of readers with her sexy, classic romances. Join her now as she weaves a magical story filled with smart humor, high action, and true love.
Once upon a time, high in the Pyrenees Mountains, there were two happy and prosperous kingdoms. In one kingdom, a son was born and declared the crown prince. In the other kingdom, three daughters were raised in royal splendor.
This is the story of one lost princess, Princess Clarice, who flees with her younger sister to Scotland, where they survive by their wits and daring. But just when Clarice begins to believe she's safe at last, she attracts the attention of one of Scotland's most powerful and dangerous men.
Robert MacKenzie, the earl of Hepburn, is enchanted by Clarice's dazzling beauty -- and wary of her talent for disguise. For years justice had been his only desire. A war hero, he knows the cruelness of the world and he cares too much for the people of his village to let them be victimized and exploited. But the moment Robert sees Clarice riding into town -- her lush, smiling lips, her copper-colored curls, her warm amber eyes -- he is overcome with emotions that have been deeply buried for far too long. Feeling he must have her at any cost, he invites her to stay with him at his manor house and won't take no for an answer.
Now, he has the chance to uncover the nature of her mysterious business in town, and possibly the chance to satisfy his burning desire for her as well.
Soon Roberts knows all of Clarice's most guarded secrets, and he uses this knowledge to blackmail her into giving her unwilling aid to his own perilous plan. Caught between her need to protect her sister and the dangerous man who mixes dark emotions with passionate kisses, Clarice plunges into Robert's glamorous world. Her days are filled with colorful gowns, elaborate parties, and swirling waltzes. And her nights are marked by secret assignations and one all-consuming passion.
As Clarice's golden beauty draws Robert from the shadows and her bright wit teaches him to live again, the treachery around them deepens. He swears to keep her safe, never suspecting that he will face an even greater hazard: losing his heart to the mysterious princess who just might make him believe in happily-ever-after ...

Happy brooders.......2006-09-20
Dark heroes are hard to write. Really. They usually come across as brooding and temper-tantrum-y. That said, I really liked Christina Dodd's brooding hero in this book, mostly because he wasn't a brooder by the end. Fun story with cute characters. I enjoyed it.
Good Read.......2006-03-21
It's not "AMAZING" romance by any means. But it was definetly a good read. I'd recommend it if your favorite writers -- much like mine -- are busy writing something new and you need something to tide you over :)
Pure Joy !.......2006-02-10
This is the first novel of the Lost Princess series. This book has a great mystery, danger and amazing love story. The novel is based around three princess who leave their country due to war. They left their home as children and now young women trying to survive. This story is Clarice story (the middle daughter) who find love with Earl MacKenize. I can not wait until the next novel coming in Feb. 2006.
The title should have been The Lost Princess - Enchanting Evening Was Off..........2006-01-13
This is the second novel by Christina Dodd that I have read in the past year. I also read, "My Fair Enchantress". I gave that book four plus stars - it was an excellent read and I really enjoyed the story line and characters. In this next book, "Some Enchanted Evening", I found the characters interesting as well as the story line but, I would not rate it as great of a read as the first book I had chosen.
Although I liked the story line of this book quite a bit - three princesses (Sorcha, Clarice & Amy) are taken from their respective countries and are sent off in hiding as killers are after them and their ruling families...a fellow prince (Rainger) of a neighboring country is also taken away and once released from his captivity makes an agreement with the princesses grandmother to get them back. If the prince finds the three girls, he can chose one to marry. So...it's off to the races. This story focused on the middle princess - Clarice. She also had an older sister Sorcha and a little sister Amy. Sorcha was gone elsewhere whereas Clarice and Amy were able to stay together.
Clarice and Amy managed to outwit the bad guys by traveling town to town, peddling their family cosmetic secrets to local gals for their money and lodging. They would move on to new places to keep up the game and stay out of reach of the bad guys. They managed to do this for many years. Their grandmother was due to put notices in local papers when they could return to their own country safely - that had not happened yet.
So...they find their way to a local town where a high ranking earl - Hepburn - Robert Mackenzie is running the show and the locals pay honor to him as an old war hero. They peddle their goods in his town and charm both men and women alike with their winsome ways. They state clearly they are princesses on the run and have stopped to give women happiness via their face and body creams. Everyone buys into the show. The girls stay on in town and thus...an attraction and relationship develop between Robert and Clarice as she stays at his castle to help with a large ball that is being thrown in honor of another great war hero- Ogley.
Robert finds out Clarice stole her horse and is on the run from that too. He uses this information to bribe her to help him outwit the nasty war hero Ogley. She is to use her cosmetics and winsome ways to pretend to be an ex-mistress of Ogley so, that Robert and his friend Waldemar can corner the ex-war hero and get him to provide proper discharge and honorary release in the military to Waldemar that was taken away by by Ogley. Thus...a charade begins to help Robert fulfill this need help his friend. In turn, Clarice is trying to stay outside the bad guys trying to find her and Amy and the local magistrate who knows she stole his horse.
I won't give the ending away suffice to say, the story course works itself out in the end (a wee bit too perfectly if you ask me) and everyone is happy, happy, happy. The story also alludes at the end that a new book will follow regarding Princess Amy and where her future travels will take her as she does not want to be a princess any longer. Not surprising there.
I did find some inconsistencies in the story that prevented me from liking the story better. For instance...you would think lots of time elapsed between Clarice first coming to town, meeting the villagers, staying with Robert and his sister Millicent at the castle, the ball occurring and help being done for Waldemar and she outwitting the magistrate who arrests her. But...in reality, only a handful of days go by for all this to occur. During this time, Clarice and Robert manage to be highly attracted to one another, have many sexual outings and manage to fall head over heals in love and want to marry. This time frame didn't work for me at all - not realistic. A lifetime of events occur in about a two week time span (if not less) and I couldn't get into the emotions of these characters and find it real with so little time devoted to developing their relationship.
Also...Clarice is supposedly on the run from not only bad guys trying to kill her and Amy for the crown but, also after her for horse theft. So...what would a girl do to stay hidden in obscurity...well for starters, ride into town after town, manage to make everyone notice her due to her beauty and outspokenness and proclaim loudly each time that she is a princess adrift from her country but, she is there to help everyone nonetheless. I would say that's keeping a low profile, don't you? I kept thinking if any of the bad guys or magistrate had half a brain and network of spies, she could have been found and nabbed very easily. Plus...she is supposedly a top beauty on a rare and priceless horse yet...no word of this goes from town to town after she leaves? And is it safe to be out riding alone like that - wouldn't someone try to rob or steal from her or worse? No...not our heroine. Apparently, she has a special protective safety bubble the rest of us don't have. These things didn't work for me.
Also...Robert was in this emotionless bubble since coming back from war yet, in a matter of days he is suddenly a new man because of Clarice and their sexual and emotional encounters? Or that Clarice wants to return to her kindom and have a top marriage to continue the line yet..she will have sex with Robert at a moment's notice and not worry anymore about her thrown? Or that Millicent was this dull, dry and aged spinster with no back bone to show for herself and in a matter of days suddenly transforms into this lovely beauty with wit, spunk and courage? Once again...too many inconsistencies for me.
Even though Clarice was a princess and Robert's sister Millicent running an Earl's estate...I didn't care for the way they treated their servants. For some reason, it was not appealing that the two main female leads would snap their fingers for something to happen, talk down to their staff and act as if they were less than average people. Yet...both Clarice and Millicent would be kind and warm to nearly everyone else. I felt they were demeaning to those in their work staff and that was not appealing to me. This was a small thing but, I noticed it anyway. You can be firm and have directive without being snotty and snooty.
Last...I am not sure why this book is titled, "Some Enchanted Evening" (just because she's a princess in exile doesn't support "enchanting"). I do not remember any special night outing that would support such a title. I think they could have come up with a better title to support the story line. I say this because I like to have title's support the book as well as the cover designs and photos. For me, it helps for some reason.
Rainger, the forgotten prince, actually seemed like an interesting character but, we only got to see snippets of him as a child at court and then once or twice as an adult as he searched for and found Clarice at the end. I think a story with him might be interesting and expect it will follow one day if it has not yet. My guess is that Amy will end up with her own knight in shining amour such as Clarice found and that oldest Princess Sorcha will end up with Prince Rainger as her own? Just my guess but, I would like to see that happen. We'll see.
There were times during the reading of this book that I started to feel myself drift off and get bored - that's never a good sign in a love story. I gave three stars more for the author herself than the book. I like how she writes and feel she is very talented. This story just didn't seem well developed for me. Even though I would not consider this one of the best or better books I have read, it still had enough going on to be over-all pleasing. I would consider more of her books and hope you do too. Enjoy!
Why do I let her do this to me?.......2005-09-02
SOME ENCHANTED EVENING is the first book in another series by Dodd, three princess/sisters who go into exile in England and lose each other and their contact with their kingdom. Clarice has to support her younger sister Amy so she sells cosmetics at parties (Mary Kay, anyone?) and gets tangled up with Robert, an earl who wants to use her and her skills at make-up in a scheme of revenge. It was a great story set in Scotland with a lot of excitement, adventure and of course great sex, but how long do I have to wait for the next story? I want to know what happens to the sisters, their grandmother the queen, and the prince. I really enjoy reading Dodd's books, but I wish she'd hold them until the whole seris can come out at once.

GOOD STORIES.......2006-08-25
FROM THE BACK COVER:
HAUNTED HONEYMOON by Linda Devlin
Newlyweds John and Tessa Travis aren't going to let their arranged marriage stand in the way of the rest of their lives. Even if they don't have true love, they've got a dilapidated plantation house to fix up. But the melancholy ghost who refuses to leave won't stand for anything less than passion between them...
BEWITCHING by Sandy Moffett
Constance Sedgewick is quite happy running Salem's Academy for Young Ladies with her two elderly aunts, but they have other ideas-prompted by the onset of Constance's supernatural powers. To control her destiny as a witch, Constance needs the love of a man...by All Hallow's Eve.
CITIZEN DAISY by Deb Stover
Born the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Daisy Peabody is surely a witch. At least that's what the good folk of Crooked Creek think. When a man literally falls from the sky onto her property, they're sure. But who is the handsome stranger? And what magic has he wrought in Daisy's heart?
Wonderful book!.......2003-01-08
Although this anthology is meant as a Halloween book, it is delightful enough to be enjoyed in any time or season. Leading off with HAUNTED HONEYMOON, Linda Devlin treats readers to the tale of an arranged marriage that is beginning a bit shakily. Though the couple has known each other all their lives, neither is sure of the other's love, and their first home is reportedly, and actually haunted. Only by facing their own fears about the ghost and each other will this hapless couple find the joy they are meant to share. Next, Sandy Moffett does no less than the title and bewitches readers with BEWITCHING, the story of a witch whose powers are out of control until she finds love. Fans of Sabrina will find this one to bring a familiar smile as they read the light hearted novella. Finally, the best comes last when CITIZEN DAISY by Deb Stover rounds out the anthology. You will never look at an MRI test in the same way after reading how a Congressman finds himself waking up from an MRI tube a century in the past, accused of being a spaceman by superstitous townsfolk, and falling in love with an young lady believed falsely to be a witch. Can these two lovers out of time find a world they can share?
***** Be prepared to laugh and rejoice when you read this one. It is what makes anthologies worthwhile. *****

An excellent add-on to any campaign.......2003-08-06
I bought this book in the hopes that it would give me a few more items, spells and feats for my players to enjoy, and instead found a book capable of adding great flavour and verve to any campaign.
The rewrite of the bard is the highlight of this book for me. From a new and unique method of spellcasting, to a new set of skills and special abilities, the bard in this book goes from being a sort of utility spellcaster to being a completely new and unique class, a thing apart. The idea of casting spells as songs is not a new one, but the way that it's done here is nothing short of brilliant, encouraging bards to use their spells while not sacrificing any of the other abilities of the class.
The feats focus mainly on bardic activity, as do the prestige classes, making the addition of the soul magic section seem, at first, like a last-minute add-on. It's not. Soul magic is, as another reviewer's said, the use of intelligent spells, and saying more than that would be spoiling things. They really will add depth to my games in the future.
As if that weren't enough good stuff (for less than half the price of a standard hard-bound WoTC title), there are also a smattering of new and useful spells, perfect for making surprise scrolls and adding detail to a campaign.
I recommend this book to anyone looking to spice up the bard class, and anyone interested in some new and unusual spells and abilities.
Monte Cook does it again.......2002-08-24
One thing I like about the 3E core rulebooks is it seems like WotC play tested the hell out of them. Nearly everything is fairly well balanced. Many aspects have been simplified from the 2nd addition in a good way (though sometimes too much.) Overall, I really like 3E and consider it worth buying.
Enter supplemental materials like the Book of Eldritch Might II, by Monte Cook. Let's take a look:
VALUE: Under 15 bucks for the printed version, or 5 bucks for the PDF file (available from his website). After shelling out at least 20 for each of the class books, I find this very refreshing.
DESIGN: The art in the printed version is some of the finest yet in a Malhavok product. Monte continues to enlist better and better artists for each product. (I went with the PDF and had Kinko's print it out and spiral bind it.)
CONTENT: This is where all of Monte's D&D 3E material shines. The man is brilliant when it comes to fantasy game design. Like BoEM I, The BoEM II contains new feats, spells (primary for Wizard's and Sorcs), new prestige classes, and new magic items. However, these aren't just more of the same things we've seen. Each has a unique flavor and purpose. However, first lets go over what's totally new: Variant versions of the bard and sorcerer.
BARD: Since 3rd Edition came out, I've seen a million variant rangers, and half a million variant bards. Monte comes through in spades with his variant bard. No longer the sub-par sorcerer rogue fighter, the new bard uses spellsongs to power his unique magical talents. Big thumbs up.
SORCERER: Unlike Monte's variant ranger & bard, his sorcerer is not an attempt to fix a class that was considered 'broken' by so many. Indeed, many consider the sorcerer to kick butt. But, he can get a little boring, casting the same spells all day. This sorcerer really captures the feel of innate, raw magical power. I use Monte's bard, ranger, and sorcerer in my game, and have never looked back.
SOUL MAGIC: A brand new concept for intelligent... spells. A really cool idea that I don't want to spoil. Check it out...
OTHER: Then we have pages of fantastic feats (the lace spell feats rock), spells, prestige classes, and magical items. Like BoEM I, these are all innovative, stylish, and rather deadly. In my campaign I've made the Book of Eldritch Might I & II spells a bit more rare. They are considered powerful secrets to learn of. Once you see some of these spells, you'll see what I mean by powerful...
OVERALL: 5 Stars. One of the few accessories that I've opened up in its entirety to my game. Visit Monte Cook's website for errata to this book, and all his other Malhavok Press products...
Book Description

Sexual Assault.......2006-02-26
This is a wonderful book for individuals who are examining patients who have been sexually assaulted. Shows normal anatomy and variations, including non-sexual injuries. As a Nurse Practitioner and a new Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner I find this book to be an excellent reference. It had been recommended to me by the educational coordinator of the SANE course I took.
Color Atlas of Sexual Assault.......2003-06-22
An excellent resource book for anyone working as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. I recommend this book to all nurses new to forensic nursing. A must have book!

Very good pictures.......1999-11-11
This book is very complete, and has many pictures describing a variety of situations. Highly recommended.
You should also consider "Sexual Assault: The Medical-Legal Examination". This book has more information on the psychology of the assailant and the assailed, and on filling out legal forms during examination, but "Color Atlas" has more pictures.
An essential resource book.......1999-08-23
My forensic nurse colleagues have provided an outstanding resource for those of us who perform sexual assault exams and forensic evidence collection. The photographic documentation of cases and information in the Color Atlas have proved invaluable to me as a sexual assault nurse examiner. Our district attorney also purchased the book as a reference. I applaud the five authors of this text for a job well done. They have produced a professional work, accurately and well written,with outstanding photodocumentation of sexual assault cases.
