Summary: I Loved It
Review: This was a strong and powerful book. The story starts out in the sixities during the war, but even the threat of war can't stop true love(Randolph & Jenna), but a cold hearted monster(Angela) with plans of her own can definitely cause trouble. After a tragic accident Angela takes advantage of the situation and destroy's their love. After years apart a friend in trouble brings the two(Randolph & Jenna) back together. Can they put the past behind and move on to a future filled with promise????

Summary: Wonderfully entertaining read!
Review: This was such a great book. I couldn't put it down once I started getting into the storyline. Not many authors can integrate historical events into such a romantic plot the way that Brenda Jackson can. Many events such as the Black Panther movement and the September 11 attacks are in this book, and play roles almost as important as the characters. There are plenty of primary and secondary characters to keep the plot moving; the book itself is divided into three main parts. This is the first book that I've read by this author and I can't wait to run out to the bookstore and read another!

Summary: Relationships that Stand the Test of Time
Review: Ties That Bind tells the story of lives that come together on the campus of Howard University and how they were forever changed. We follow the lives of these characters through college, marriage, parenthood and so much more. Brenda Jackson's latest is a richly told tale of true friendship, love, loss and new beginnings. The book's characters were so different some I grew to love and others that I loved to hate, but they added depth and richness to the story that is indescribable. While this is mainstream fiction, Jackson's command over things romantic is evidenced through the passionate loves scenes intermingled throughout the book. She also did a superb job incorporating historical events into the plot and showing the reader how these events left a lasting imprint on the lives of the characters. Ties That Bind is a sensational new book with something in it for everyone. -Reviewed by Stacey Seay

Summary: BEAUTIFUL
Review: Ties That Bind was among one of the most ineteresting and most beautiful love stories I've read this year. There was not one boring moment. As a matter of fact, the book kept me up until the break of dawn. And it's been a while since I've had a book keep me up that late.
I've been told for a while that Brenda Jackson is a great author. After reading this book, I'm definitely going to read some more of her books.

Summary: A delightful read
Review: Ties that bind was the first novel that I read by Brenda Jackson. I was not disappointed. This book was good from beginning to end. The book starts off with Jenna Haywood a student at Howard University. Jenna wanted to finish school and help her parents put her brothers through school. Along comes Randolph Fuller who falls in love with Jenna the first time that he meets her. Randolph comes from a wealthy family while Jenna family is very poor. Randolph's grandmother is not happy with his relationship with Jenna and will do any and everything to destroy it. This is a very good book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: The Book of the Year
Review: What more can I say about Brenda Jackson. She is truly my favorite author and her latest book proves that she will be here for a long time. "Ties that Bind" takes us back in history when Martin Luther King, the Black Panthers and the Vietnam war were just getting started. We are introduced to Jenna Haywood and Randolph Fuller on the campus of Howard University. The trials that they had to overcome to just be together. I love the way the author allowed us to see the background of the characters and watch their relationship bloom into full blown LOVE. All the secondary characters help this book become a quick and easy read. You will not want to put this book down until you are finish and then get mad because it is over. I would love to see a follow-up book to see how all the couples are doing and to see if another relationship is in the works.

Summary: A MUST READ!!!!!!!!
Review: Words cannot express. Mrs. Jackson is a true romance novelist. She has a way of brining her characters to life. The Ties that Bind is a profound love story. I'm glad to see that there are still some romantics out there. You get tired of seeing books written in such graphic detail. I couldn't put this one down. I have since bought all of Mrs. Jackson's books and I am awaiting new ones. Thank you, Mrs. Jackson!
