Whispers From The Heart

Rating:
Summary: Hmmm...
Review: I agree with the last review. I like the author. I like her last book. Yet this book didn't please me as much. It pleased me enough where I read it in one day and want to read her next book that comes out, but with this book I was left with wanting more. I also agree when the last reviewer was saying how the heroines in Valyan's novels are light with nice hair and so on..It does make me feel bad to read interracial novels with heroines like that, not just in this book but other interracial novels have been like that too, b/c I know I'm not light, with straight hair, and stick slim and as a result can't relate physically to the heroine. Yet, when a novel is good, who cares how the heroine looks. It's when a novel is not as good that a reader starts to notice other negative things.
The action in this novel was good, great, but I didn't feel or sometimes understand why the characters were together. Yeah, the sex was good, but what were doing for each other emotionally. The action kind of over took the romance. I wish they would have gotten to know each other before sleeping or kissing each other.
I liked the ending of this book and enjoyed all the other characters in the book. Hope that Chris and Felicia get their own novel. I also can't wait for Unspoken Promises to come out.

Summary: Review
Review: I don't claim to be an expert on book writing, but I know what I like. S D Valyan's first book Hearts of Fire was great I loved it, although a lot of reviews I've read said otherwise. As for this book I thought that the overall book was pretty good but I didn't like the fact that all of Mrs. Valyan's Heroines are light skinned blk women with long hair that might as well just both be caucasian. I want to read about a real strong African American woman in her books. But as I said overall it was a good book not her best as for as I'm concerned but it was ok. I hope that Unspoken Promises will be better and i'm still eagerly awaiting it's release.

Summary: Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful
Review: I knew S.D. Valyan would come into her own!!! This book is fantastic! Steven and Regina is a story worth adding to any collection. This is one I will read over and over. This novel made me cry and laugh and tremble. I found myself unable to put it down.

Summary: Good but not Great
Review: I was very excited about this book, but somewhat skeptical since I hadn't heard much in terms of reviews. Well, I can't say I loved the storyline but it was an ok read. I am most disappointed in the fact that some aspects of the storyline were almost identical to the previous book which was a lot better. I am exited thought to see what becomes of Felicia (I think that's her name) and Chris the sister and brother of the main characters Regina and Steven.

Summary: Interesting
Review: It seemed to me that the relationship moved a little too fast in the beginning, but once the story got going good it was alright. I liked this book and I am hoping there will be one for Chris and Felicia in the making.

Summary: Exciting, fun and sensual read
Review: Steven Rugala always had wondered my his mother hated him the most out of all his other siblings, was it something he did as a child or was it because of his looks. It has always worried him, so when she started to show him attention he ate it up, but it also came at the time he was starting to notice the beautiful Regina Preston.

Regina has always had feelings for the sexy and aloof Steven with his cool gray eyes and deep controlled voice, but she wondered has he ever noticed her. He was constantly around the petite blond co-worker, would he be interested in dating an African American woman. Regina was going to take her chances and ask him out as soon as she got a chance.

Whispers from the heart is an amazing page turner with passion, romance, suspense, and murder. I think it's one of the best IR romances I have read this year. I enjoyed it from page one to the end. The only bad thing I have to say is I thought the characters feel in bed too quickly, but besides that I throughly enoyed this IR romance.

Summary: Okay
Review: The book starts out good. I liked that it wasn't a quick read and the sex scenes were decent. There were a few things about this story that really bothered me. The first, Regina gets physically beaten up entirely too much. The first time really upset me as it by a co-worker who wants their relationship to go to the next level, when she resists he beats her up. Then she speaks to him as if nothing happened at work the next day. He then assaults her a second time, this time at the office. Regina then goes on to suffer a few more brutal attacks. I was also annoyed by her yes I want you, no I don't want you, yes I can trust you, no I can't trust you, relationship with Steve. They were on and off so much that I found myself hoping they'd stay off. Also, we never found out what the mystery thing that happened to Regina as a child was. Whatever it was made her family crazy protective of her. Then again, perhaps the book does reveal it, but I'd lost interest by then.
