I read these books and they were good but i especially loved forever yours and beguiled. It's not that i didn't like serenade it was good but i just didn't fall in love with the characters like i normally do in books i did love the guy but the girl she was just too how do i put boring to me i guess and to me the story just dragged on for to long but it was still a good book i suggest that you still read it cause different people have different oppions. but forever yours wow wat to say it was great first off o gosh i fell in love with kane he's like the ultimate protector and always there i just love him lol and victoria she is a good character cause even after everything she's been through she still opens up her heart even though it took some pushing to get her to do that so i definately suggest people read it. Beguiled was just wonderful lol it was like the wrong way to fall in love but you just can't help it cause nate bowman is like the perfect man even though he's a bad guy but I really also suggest to people to read this book because it's great to.

I must say I was a little disappointed in the first and the last story in this book. Sandra Kitt's tale 'Serenade' was interesting, but I found it left a lot of things up in the air. And Eboni Snoe's tale 'Beguiled' was good, but too wordy at times and took to long to get to the good parts. Now, 'Fovever Yours', by Francis Ray definitely made the book worth reading. I am a huge Francis Ray fan and all I can say is she did it again! I love the romance between Tory and Kane. I love the way the families and friends are involved with the couple story.
