These are published by Kimani Press, the Harlequin's line of African-American romances. For full disclosure, neither of us is African-American, which maybe why we didn't like these, but I'm more inclined to believe it is because they weren't very well written. The guy on the cover on the first one was smoking hot, and the plot was good, but there were so many cliches about their romance and then in their sex scenes, that I couldn't get into the story. The characters all seemed exactly the same and totally one dimensional. That said, the plots really were different from what I typically read in that they featured real life issues and the sex scenes actually included condoms and concerns about STIs/pregnancy - seems that is a real afterthought in most ro nos.

E: UGH. I tried one of Brenda Jackson's books when I saw it was marked down on the Kindle. It was called Hot Westmoreland Nights and seriously, the only thing good about it were the 'nights.' The premise lacked anything believable or captivating, the heroine was officially 'meh' and the couple had no chemistry. Even though I had paid $ for and it was stuck on a plane (cross-country so plenty of reading time), I dropped it at 40% read and reread Darkfever.
E Rating: H Rating: 2 stars
Stand out book: none? Didn't read enough to find a standout
