This is really a great story. I read this book in about 12 hours(yes I deprived myself of sleep). I advised every romance novel reader to partake is this groovy love story. I say groovy because the characters were wealthy but the stilled behaved, talked, and interacted like commmon folk. I definately appreciated that, this book proves you can believe in love and not be all corny and uptight. Muhsin was the best representation of a stong, down, hardworking black brotha. He took control but he knew when to back down and become patient. Duchess was strong but not overly strong where she would'nt allow herself to love or be loved. THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK!!!!!!

To say I loved this book is an understatement. I truly enjoyed it so much that I actually wrote to the author. I fell in love with the hero and heroine immediately. Not only were they two beautiful people their friends and associates in the book also had quite a storyline. In my opinion it was a very well rounded story told by Ms. Washington of betrayal, loyality, trust and of course love. The descriptive tone made me feel such a part of their lives. I look forward to the next book........
