Review: Although at first I had trouble getting through the beginning of the book it appeared to be a quite interesting and fascinating story. By the way, the part about the coup very much reminded me of August 1990... Simona just go on with your great stories!

Summary: Everything it should be!
Review: I couldn't put Mesmerized down. When Christian comes back to Trinidad in the first scene, six years after Sean left him on the night of their engagement, the tension takes off. This book is not only a great romance but I learned something about Trinidad, it's industries and politics. I learned later the religious terrorist thing really happened!

This is the third Simona Taylor book I have read and I loved them all. Each one is different. I like to learn things when I read and this writer always delivers. I learn something about the place, it's history or the people who live there. I always fall in love with the men, they are so wonderful. I am really looking forward to her next book.

Summary: Not one of Taylor's Best!!
Review: In my opinion, this book was not written to its potential. The storyline was good, but the way the author developed the story was lacking something. I personally disliked the way the author wrote the story with more characters thinking than characters speaking an interacting with one another. But that's just my opinion. Now the part about the religious extremist was well thought out, and they played a large role in the book, but the conclusion of their part in the story was weak! On a good note, I loved the characters. Christian, a man that has seen the error of his ways and wants to really change this time around was great. And Delta was a fireball if I ever saw one, got to love her! Sean and Christian's relationship was very, very steamy, if you know what I mean. They seemed not to know that they were in fact in a relationship until the very end of the story! I wouldn't want to forget the part of the book that dealt with revenge, which in my opinion, I might add, was written very well. Not Taylor's best work, but work nontheless!!
