Summary: More Bounce To The Ounce!!!!
Review: This is a good "weekend" read. The Look of Love was a good twist seeing a good-looking man go after a good-looking voluptuous woman. Carmel Matthews is an RN who is insecure when thinking she can't get a man because of her size; however, successful and handsome Dr. Steve Reynolds proves her wrong. This book gives people who are over a size 6 hope in knowing that they are just as attractive as anyone else. I hope there will be a book in the future that focus on Carmel's slim friend, Jasmine...She has a story all of her own.

Summary: An Excellent story for all us 'Phenomenal Women'
Review: This is the first novel I've read by Monica Jackson and I enjoyed every bit of it. This is the story of a woman named Carmel Matthews who in the process of running a nursing agency, meets and falls for a sexy Doctor named Steve Reynolds, but because she refers to herself as, and believes herself to be 'a fat pig' she feels she's not good enough for him. Little does she know Steve is very much attracted to her and all her healthy curves and feels she is the sexiest thing going. After seeing a photo of Steve's former wife and photos of other women he's dated, she decides she's going to go on a diet, become supermodel size and have Steve panting over her. Only things didn't quite go as planned. She may not have lost any weight, but she gained the love of a handsome doctor and most importantly she gained the love and exceptance of herself. This book is for any woman - or a girl on her way to becoming a woman - who feels insecure in any way. One famous line comes to mind. "I'm a woman phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that's me." -Dr. Maya Angelou I loved this book! I can't say it enough. You would be a fool to skip over such good reading. ...and Monica... YOU GO, MY PHENOMENAL SISTER!

Summary: You Gotta Get The Look (Of Love)
Review: This is the first romance novel I've read in almost 15 years (mind you, I'm only 28), and the first with an entirely black cast, and what a thoroughly enjoyable read it was. In "The Look Of Love" Monica Jackson tackles some very heavy (no pun intended) issues, including weight, acceptance, self-esteem, and bulimia. However, don't let those topics fool you, this novel is a hilarious joy ride where we meet some straight up funny characters. I loved how the relationship between Carmel and Steve evolved. He was sincere in his love for her eventually they were able to get over their issues and love each other back. I would highly recommend this book. Good work, Monica!
