Summary: Historicals or Contemporary??
Comment: Beverly Jenkins has proven she can go "both ways". This book, with descendents (Graysons/Vashons)from her historicals is a great read and the characters are so strong, independent, and still working to help The Race regardless to the era. Mykal Chandler could be broke and still be awesome; Sarita, as with all of Ms Jenkins' women is a sista that makes one proud to be a woman. Dragons and Little Red Riding Hood will now have a different meaning for me. I hope Saint will have a story in the future. This book was worth the wait, Ms Jenkins. However, I hope we don't have to wait for another. Keep up the good work, Lady.

Summary: fun war on drugs romantic thriller
Comment: In Detroit, Michigan, Sarita Grayson receives an eviction notice that will shut down her outreach gym as the city is selling the abandoned warehouse she has used. Realtor Fletcher Harris offers to fund the down payment towards the building purchase if Sarita picks up a package for him. She agrees, but all hell breaks loose when undercover architect and former special forces soldier (don't ask - read) Mykal Chandler breaks up the action and catches Sarita. She escapes.
The next day Sarita's "foster brother" Saint offers her a deal that will enable her to own the building if she agrees to marry his half-brother for one year as he needs a wife of convenience to keep women away from him. When Sarita meets her groom, they recognize one another from last night's activities. She has no choice but to be Mykal's temporary spouse as he runs the NIA war against drugs in Detroit for that is the only way he can keep her safe from gangsters who marked her last night. Neither Sarita nor Mykal expected this arrangement to lead to love.
Though the "sanctioning" of the NIA violations of individual rights by the Detroit Mayor and the FBI seems wrong fans will appreciate this terse romantic suspense. The story line moves forward at a fast pace from the moment Mykal and Sarita meet. However, the key to the tale is the cast led by the fine lead couple and supported by his two half-brothers and her friend. Readers will enjoy this war on drugs romantic thriller.

Summary: LOVED IT!! Couldn't put it down!
Comment: I have read all of Beverly Jenkins's historical novels and found each one exceptional. However, this is the first time I have been compelled to write. When I received my book and read the back cover, I must admit that I was surprised (and a little leery). I should have known that although the setting was different, the qualities that I look for from Ms. Jenkins were still there (I'll never look at the story of Little Red Riding Hood quite the same way ever again!). All of the characters were vibrant, and I even found myself admiring Faye at the novel's end.
Athough I adored Sarita and Mykal (extra points to Ms. Jenkins for having them be descendants of two of the couples from my favorite historical novels!) Saint really intrigued me, and I would love to see him get a story of his own.
Good work, Ms. Jenkins! I look forward to your next novel.
