Summary: Still Looking for the Original Beverly Jenkins....
Review: I am still looking for the original Beverly Jenkins. The one whose first African-American historical romance "Night Song" made me wait with baited breath for more. In my humble opinion the quality of writing and the development of her characters has continually gone down since Night Song. The whole premise of this book was wrong to me. The characters were not believable and the dialogue was stilted at best. I am an *avid* reader. I can read 2-3 books on a good day. In addition to other genres and non-fiction titles, I have been reading romance novels for about 10 years now. Beverly Jenkins's first novel Night Song was the FIRST romance novel by an African -American woman that I had ever read. I have purchased every single one of her books since. But since like the first two, I have been increasingly disappointed. This one was a big disappointment. Save your money and go check it out from your local library.The thing that Beverly Jenkins gives us in her books is the ability to dream, to see Black family dynasties of old unfold. Her previous novels let you chronicle African-American history while still engaging you in a good love story about two characters as they try and put together a relationship. Beverly Jenkins will always get my vote for her reasearch and presentation of AA history. The lawmen, doctors, reporters, abolitionists, businessmen, etc. spoke to you as they fell in love and took you into their world and showed you a realistic glimpse of living in those times. In *some* of her previous books, the characters jumped off the page. You felt what they felt, you saw it through their eyes -especially the love scenes. Face it, a big draw for this book market. A Chance at Love failed on all these accounts. The dialogue was poor. The story line was unbelievable. It seems that everyone else thought the twin's precociousness (sp.) was sooo cute, not I. It was unbelievable to me. The love scenes were impersonal and cold. At first funny, then disappointing as you realized that ~that~ was it. I applaud Ms. Jenkins for taking a chance and choosing the man to be the seduced and the woman to have the experience. I applaud her also for using a woman "with a past" as her heroine one who wasn't the supposed parogon of virtue, but unfortunately, for this story...it didn't work. I think the requests from fans for *MORE* overrode the time needed to develop the characters and storyline fully. Just my opinion. I will look for her next book to see what she gives us in the future and hope for....more. Just because you have a niche market and fan base who will buy anything with your name on it doesn't mean you should just give them 'anything' with your name on it. Keep at it and Good Luck!

Summary: A Chance at Love
Review: I feel in love with Jake when he first come on to the scene. I man that love someone else kids without looking back has my heart. A man that feels it is his job to protect his family no matter what. Loreli has over come alot to become a classes woman that what take any miss off of anybody(male or female). A woman that will speak her mind. I am glad that Ms. Jenkins decided to do a story about Loreli a woman that is not perfect in the eyes of society but she still has a heart of gold. I love the way Jake was willing to learn from Loreli, his was such a goooood student. I starting reading and I didn't but it down until it was finished. I tried to stopping reading but everytime I did there was a new twist or it start getting hoooottter. Ms. Jenkins has done a wonder job as usual. Keep them coming. I really enjoy them all. My blessing to you and your family.
