Two strong characters collide in A Valentine Challenge. Micheal has been burned in the love department, but accepts a challenge from his friends to make Kasie Bosa fall for him. This, in an attempt to get a particular kind of woman out of his system.
Kasie is all about her work, and having been let down by her beau, she’s not in the best frame of mind. She’s bothered by Michael, who doesn’t behave like the hired help he’s supposed to represent. Michael and Kasie must overcome their prejudices to...more

This was a fun little weekend read, the kind of book you could knock out in a few hours if you have them uninterrupted. I quite liked the premise: three guys, one scarred in the past is dared to take on a difficult woman. And trust me, Michael Ede is definitely the an for the job! He definitely made this book for me. I love a man who doesn't take crap for anybody, not even a beautiful, rich and powerful woman. Kasie is a prickly little thing, so it's a good thing that Michael is a strong as he i...more
This is a heart warming story about a self made millionare who had loved and found true dissappointment in love. He accepts a challenge to seduce Kasie as an ordinary man. Knowing her type he based his opinion of her on his previous bad experinece. He already sees her as a daddy's princes. People tend to bend to her just because of her father not her and when Michael teaches her a lesson, she is appalled but his behaviour doesn't match that of a chauffeur. But neither of them can deny the instan...more

This was my first read from this author and I really enjoyed it. This was a short read, and the author did a great job of putting everything relevant on the pages, and not filling the story with unnecessary information. Kasie and Michael had an interesting start, and although fast you could really feel the passion and love between them. I wish the story was longer, but for the content included it was a really good read.
A refreshing read. I like traditional romance but the characters in this are Afro-centric and extremely likeable. My only wish is that the setting didn't pop out for me. I'd like to see more of this culture. Good work, Ms. Taye!
Read this book in one sitting and enjoyed it very much. I like that it started from Michael's point of view and in a way it made me more sympathetic to him from the word go.
Onto the next one.
Well done Kiru Taye!

Well done Kiru Taye!
A Short, SWEET and too the point ROMANTIC treat...the PASSION between Kasie and Michael is INSTANT and ENDEARING...DEFINITELY looking forward to reading more from Mrs. Taye...simply stated it's quite an ENJOYABLE read!
I just thought this was a fantastic book. Short, sweet, a little sensual but not erotic. Some tension and likeable characters.
Thought it was a fantastic, romantic novel. Storyline was crisp and the book was engaging from start to finish!
A passionate, emotional romance with lots of spice. Loved the hero - he was such a honey and very easy to fall in love with. Great read.
This was a wonderful love story! I loved it!
