Summary: One of the best romances of the year
Review: An intelligent busy no-nonsense career woman and a klutzy work-at-home dad does not seem to make a compatible couple. But the old adage opposites attract seem to apply in this case.
Jordan is a successful writer of mysteries who is an accident always ready to happen who has adopted five children. Mia moves next door to Jordan and his brood back in her old urban New Jersey neighborhood much to her social climbing mother's chagrin.
She immediately becomes involved with the precocious children who seize on the idea that Mia would make a great mom and they set out to make it happen.
Mia thinks Jordan is a clumsy nerd and he thinks she is a high maintenance career woman but their opinions change of each other and the attraction is dynamite. But they are not moving fast enough for the kids so with the help of their grandfather they devise a plan that has Mia and Jordan locked up in the downstairs playroom overnight. Sparks fly but their courtship is not without hitches. Mia's busy work schedule, her mother's matchmaking meddling, a journalist who has the hots for Jordan and the issues of trust are just a few of the roadblocks to making this a smooth ride.This was a lively romance with plenty of sensuous love scene, well-developed characterizations including the children, and realistic scenes. I loved the feel of the commitment both Mia and Jordan had for their city and the realness of their characters. This is a top romance for 2001.

Summary: Wonderful characters, storyline and surprisingly children!
Review: I bought this book while on a "never-read author" kick and I'm so glad I did. The book jacket said the story would start off gradually and sizzle to the end (or something to that effect) and they were ever so right. Mia, Jordan and family provided a welcome look into how well step-families can becomes regular old families. Plus the fact that Jordan was such a skilled lover probably didn't hurt any! Niobia Bryant is very good at writing love scenes that are believable and sensual at the same time. It may seem like an easy thing to do, but after reading many many romance novels, I realize it must not be. It's hard to read a love scene where you're thinking "they'd break their necks if they did that!" HaHaHa....none of that in this novel. If you're looking for a quick, engaging read with a few twists and turns thrown in for good measure, pick this up! I'll be getting Ms. Bryant's first novel as well and am looking forward to reading it. Enjoy.

Summary: Fan for Life
Review: I recently read Ms. Bryant newest book, HEAVENLY MATCH, and that book prompted me to purchase THREE TIMES A LADY.
Listen, this was a funny, sexy, and intriguing book that I read in one night. Rarely do I connect to newer authors, but Ms. Bryant's great story telling ability, erotic love scenes, and wonderful character development have made me a fan for life.
Great book!

Summary: A REAL PAGE TURNER
Review: I'm not a book lover but I do love a good read every now and then. Since I have discovered Arabesque books I can't put them down. I LOVED this story. I was a great read and very interesting. The characters came to life. I felt like I lived in the neighborhood too!! It would be nice to read a continuation of this story. Niobia Bryant has done a great job and I look forward to reading more of her works.

Summary: Humorous, Steamy, Sensual.......
Review: Ms. Bryant has done it again! Her sophomore book is tha bomb! Jordan Banks, a wealthy single dad of 5 adopted kids and Mia, his new beautiful next door neighbor are a couple just destined to be together. Spurred on by the kids, and a very sweet but chauvenistic grand-father, Mia and Jordan finally find each other. You can't help but to root for them all the way. As they struggle not only with the kids and their matchmaking, they also have demanding careers. Jordan, a famous author and Mia, a very successful financial analyst. For a time, they both lose sight of what's important and allow others to interfere in their relationship. And what would a good romance be without a little "catfight" on the side? :) Ms. Bryant tells a very sensual story as Jordan spins a web of love, catching Mia and never letting her go. Run, don't walk, as fast as you can, buy this book! You'll laugh and cry and pump your fist into the air, as they triumph over all adversity and find that pot of gold, at the end of the rainbow!
