Summary: Fantastic!
Review: As an advid fan of the romance genre, and having read over 270+ romance books I can honestly say you learn the writing skills of many authors. These four, which I have read all of their published work, still remain as some of the best writers in their field. Even in an anthology, which are short stories at that, they still maintain to hold your interest. Well, Rochelle, Donna, Francis and Felicia, you did it once again, came back after Rosie's Curl and Weaves to give us another winner. Congratulations to all of you! All four stories were outstanding: Donna Hill who presents us with a story about the owner and the tax man..WOW I enjoyed this one. The plot itself, about the taxes, well that is a story that leaves you wondering about the IRS? Read it and when you finish you'll see what I mean. Francis Ray - well, I loved it! For those who read Francis's story in Rosie, you'll see some folks you remember from before. The story ended making me wonder, is Shelton next? Rochelle Alers - this author put me on notice it had to do with a widow and being one myself, this was my favorite story. I truly loved the development of the relationship between Maria and Cameron. The story touched me as it was eloquently done so well. Thanks Rochelle! Felicia Mason - Enjoyed this one likewise, and the message it offers to us. You defintely have no control over who you fall in love with and in this case the story was done so well showing us. Well ladies, we look forward to many more anthologies by all of you! Thanks again for Della's House of Style.

Summary: Round Two - What a Knock Out!
Review: As I expected, from having read the first one, this was excellent! I love the combination of the four authors, what a great collabration of talent and skill! I became the characters with each chapter. If you really want some good, entertaining reading material get this book, you'll finish wanting more! It's like a soap opera in print! Looking forward to the next installment, ladies.

Summary: Love It!!!
Review: As soon as I knew that there was a sequel to Rosie's, I knew that there would be another good read. How many of you out there after reading Rosie's and Della's make you want to run to the nearest beauty salon or spa for the works??? Or at least wished you did? These books do. I really like how Della dealt with the IRS and kept her shop. One great read. Get it and feel yourself in her salon.

Summary: A Great Follow-Up to Rosies
Review: Four very talented and well know authors come to us again in the follow-up to Rosie's Curl & Weave. Della's House of Style was a great treat. The four stories were well written. Donna Hill's It Could Happen to You was excellent. I really liked Della finding a Love of Her Own. I was glad to see a soft side to the hero in this story. Della just seemed to bring out the best in him. Ms. Hill is a thorough writer and gave us a wonderful story. Francis Ray's story A Matter of Trust was warm and very sincere. I liked the characters of Hope and Sebastian. Hope's son and landlord really rounded out the story. Rochelle Alers' story Sweet Surrender was touching. Maria Parker a very young widow was afraid to love. She meets Mr. Cameron King, a man that looks tough on the outside, but is a sweet person once you get to know him. Felicia Mason's story Truly, Honestly was great also. I think it shows you don't always choose who you fall in love with, sometimes it just happens. No matter where you come from and what you do in life, love should be the most important. Each story held its own, but together they made a wonderful novel all surrounding Della's House of Style. Great job ladies!

Summary: A Dismal & Empty Read
Review: From beginning to end, Della's House of Style was nothing short of disappointing. The pages were littered with wordy, unrealistic dialogue woven throughout ridiculous fairy-tale plots. The concept behind Della's was, in fact, clever: four stories about four women looking for love in the same beauty salon. However, the substance that authors Rochelle Alers, Donna Hill, Felicia Mason and Francis Ray offer up fell way short of my expectations. Each story depicted weak, 'damsel-in-distress' female characters falling for the generic tall, dark and handsome male. Alers' Cameron King and Ray's Sebastian Stone could be easily interchanged between their respective stories. Both men are gorgeous, rich and powerful, but bland. The only exception to this being author Felicia Mason's male character, Daryl Desmond, an average looking, 'round-the-way bus driver. What weakens Della's House of Style even further is the lack of consistency among the authors' tales. While the title character, Della Frazier, appears in all four stories, the supporting characters vary from story to story. Most appalling was the reincarnation of the stereotypical gay male stylist as Reggie in Hill's "It Could Happen To You," Antoine in Ray's "A Matter of Trust," and Maurice in Alers' "Sweet Surrender." Della's does succeed in providing avid readers and aspiring fiction/romance writers with an example of poorly written African-American romance. I would recommend this book to any instructor of writing or African-American literature who seeks to school students on the absolute "don'ts" of writing romance. However, if you're looking for an empty-calorie romantic thrill, along the lines of a cheap screw-top bottle of wine, pick up Della's House of Style.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Great follow up.
They have done it again. Francis Ray is my favorite author.
In Donna Hill's It Could Happen to You. Della finally found someone but the way they meet was very strange. In the end Della And Matt were finally together. She saved the shop and she was very happy. In Francis Ray's A Matter of Trust the story was very warm. I really injoyed Hope, her son, and the landlady. Sabatian was ok but he was a little cocky in the beginning. I enjoyed the other story's, Francis Ray and Donna Hill's really stoodout
