Summary: SIMPLE, BUT GOOD!
Review: I enjoyed this book, as I assume it was meant to be, not that deep. This is the kind of book you read when you don't want to be so deep. Just read, laugh and enjoy!

Summary: Why isn't my beauty shop like this?
Review: I found all 4 stories to be quite good and commend all the writers. This is a must read for Valentine's Day. I met Ms. Mason and Ms. Ray at the Romance Writers of America Convention in Chicago last summer and have an autographed copy of this book and others.Why can't I meet Mr. Right while getting my butter whipped (ha-ha!)? I highly recommend this to your collection of AA written books. Good Work Ladies. Watch for the next writers convention and attend, it's really worth it.

Summary: A Delightful Bag of Stories
Review: I like the idea of four love stories centered around a salon. The stories are wonderful, funny, and easy to read. A bonus is Felicia Mason's 50-something couple - how many times have you read a romance with middle-aged people as the lead characters? The third story, "The Awakening" however doesn't really fit in - there's only a token mention of the salon, otherwise it's as if it's all on its own, unconnected with its three sister novellas. One small grumble, Rosie's Curl and Weave is a high-class posh salon. I can't help feeling that if it's a simple charming surburban salon, with middle-class characters, the anthology will be even more a gem.

Summary: I want to get my 'DO' done here!
Review: I loved this book. I love the dedication that the employees had to the shop and to Rosie's memory. I love the way everybody fell in love. I felt like I was in the shop and I was watching everybody become beautiful. I thought it was good to read a book by a black author that is not about everybody getting dogged. It was fairy taleish but I loved that even more. The book gives us love to dream about rather than a place in the dumps where we have already been. There is something for everyone, young love, middle aged love and the one that touched me the most, love after we have lost the one we love most.

Summary: Great Traveling Book
Review: I picked this book up on vacation and I really enjoyed the short stories. I was particularly impressed with the stories written by Francis Ray and Donna Hill. I will probably buy the follow-up "Della's House of Style."

Summary: A good collection of stories
Review: I really enjoyed the short story style in which the book was written. All the stories were good but I really enjoyed Just Like That by Donna Hill. It was a good quick read

Summary: Tender Love Stories...
Review: I really enjoyed this one. All of the authors here write for the Arabesque African-American bookline and I've read a few of their novels and enjoyed them immensely and therefore was looking forward to reading this anthology. I think the readers here are forgetting that these are ROMANCE stories and most romance stories evolve around the same theme: guy meets girl, girl hates guy, guy slowly wins girl over, they live happily ever after. So, knowing this, I guess you could pretty much say these stories are "predictable." It's the plot and the interaction between the couple that makes a good romance story and that's what each of these stories contained. I will definitely pick up the sequel "Island Magic."
