Rating: Summary: One true chance at love...... Review: "When the mighty fall they fall mighty hard" and so went the mighty bachelor Emmanuel Jones, police detective and longtime playboy for the workaholic,computer whiz Shari Jarrod.Shari and Emmanuel are set up for a dream date in the name of charity by their sisters. Shari is not happy with the publicity that follows as well as Emmanuel's womanizing reputation, but her own secret attraction makes her follow through. Emmanuel, always thought Shari appeared plain, almost purposely so, making the detective in him wonder what could cause a young women to detract from herself to that extent. Shari was anything but plain for their date, propelling Emmanuel's interest all the more. Emmanuel found his peace too quiet without Shari in his life and she found the kind of understanding, patience and caring she needed in him. I also enjoyed the murder mystery that kept me guessing until the end, the young love developing will be good for other books, married couples that are still in love, a strong family bond, I hope Walter eventually finds that one true love, he deserves it.

Rating: Summary: Great book, could not put it down!!!! Review: I read this book in one day. It was such a wonderful book. It had a nice mixture of romance, with mystery. Shari Jarrod tries to avoid love at all cost. Emmanuel Jones is a playa trying to change his ways. A chance auction pairs the two on a date. Emmanuel falls for Shari, but they both try hard to keep each other at arms distance. In the end Emmanuel relizes how empty his life will be without Shari in it. Maybe in the next book we will be invited to the wedding? Fantastic book. Candice is one of my favorite author's and once again she did not disappoint.

Rating: Summary: Okay read. Review: My first Poarch book. It was pretty good. A little to short for my taste.
Rating: Summary: The Geek and The Playboy Review: Shari Jarod is a true computer geek who spends countless hours in her office pounding away at her keyboard, and the majority of her off-time is spent preparing for the next day. She is an attractive woman, but she hides her beauty beneath shapeless, baggy clothes. Because of a past betrayal by someone she once trusted, Shari does not want to evoke anyone's interest. It also causes her to question whether she can afford to take another chance at love. Emmanuel Jones is the "Playboy of Nottoway, Virginia." He's a skilled detective, but when it comes to romance he is missing a few necessary facts; he continually leaves broken hearts and a trail of hurt. He knows what he wants, but the cocky male side of him pushes him to experience as many women as possible. Shari and Emmanuel are fortunate to have meddling siblings who think they would be perfect for each other. At a charity bachelor auction Emmanuel is purchased as Shari's date. They are not pleased, because he doesn't want to date a geek and she is not excited about dating a playboy, but neither is prepared for the sparks they produce. Will their preconceived notions cause them to miss out on the person of their dreams? In THE LAST DANCE readers get to experience a taste of romance southern style. The adage 'You can't judge a book by it's cover' is alive and well as Candace Poarch shows these characters what can be gained when you look beyond the surface. This is a warm fuzzy kind of read.

Rating: Summary: For the romantic at heart Review: This book is a must read. Candice Poarch expertly combined a beautiful love story with a murder mystery. There is a cast of characters but all the pieces come together nicely. It was hard to put the book down. You never know where you may find love.
