Another Ramsey Hit!!

AlTonya has a great recipe that blends romance, passion and suspense that makes a great novel. The Ramsey's have become one of my favorite family series. In this installation Fernando Ramsey and Contessa Warren hook-up and the sparks fly right off the page. Both characters hide behind their hard-up images, but once they get together, the real Contessa and Fernando are revealed. Their story is full of love, revelations, romance and lots of passion. She catches us up with Ramsey's that we already know (Quest and Quay) and she gives us a deeper look at the ones that we are waiting to find out more about (Yohan, Moses and a few others). You know AlTonya had to throw a twist in there to keep us in suspense and begging for more. I am NOT too proud to beg either! I can't wait for the next book. Those Ramsey's are just YUMMY! Plus, I can't wait to find out the answer to the murder mystery. I have a favorite scene that deals with my favorite Ramsey and 15 minutes! Be sure to pick up this book to find out what it is....

A Lover's Mask-A Joyfully Recommended Title!

Fernando Ramsey grew up believing that a woman was an object only used to satisfy a man's desire. With a father like Marcus Ramsey how could he accept anything else? His father is the master of manipulation and never treated his mother with the respect that she deserved. Nevertheless, Fernando yearns for a magical love that his parents never possessed. Fernando never thought he would find that kind of love until he met Contessa Warren. Here is a beautiful woman that is sexy-as-hell and vastly feisty - just the type of woman Fernando desires. Contessa Warren is on a mission to discover all the dirty little secrets the Ramsey's have hidden in their closet. She is positive the family is tangled up in a scandal or two and she believes that she is just the person to uncover them all. However, there is just one problem with her plan - Fernando Ramsey. Contessa isn't sure how it happened; but she finds herself instantly falling under Fernando's alluring charm. Will Contessa be able to continue her quest to reveal all the Ramsey skeletons, knowing it could cause great disgrace to Fernando's family name? With A Lover's Mask being the third book in the Ramsey family saga, I am finding it very difficult not to repeat myself over and over again about the superior writings of this series. Readers, if you are a huge fan of tantalizing suspense, deceitfulness, love, passion and countless shocking secrets then this series is just what the doctor order. I am simply amazed at AlTonya Washington's storytelling - each book gets better and spicier than its predecessor. I loved everything about A Lover's Mask! From the spectacular mystery to smoking hot sexual encounters. The sensational foreplay between Contessa and Fernando will have you going up in heated flames while the dramatic suspense will have you tangled up in a massive web. Just when you think you have figured everything out, Ms. Washington flips the script on you and throws you for a tale spin. To receive the full impact of the Ramsey clan, I would suggest reading each book in the order that it was release. However, if you just happen upon this fantastic novel first you will not feel at a lost because Ms. Washington gives great background details in A Lover's Mask.

What a great read!!

For AlTonya fans - This book exceeds expectations. The first two of this series were wonderful - this one surpasses and just goes straight to WOW...County and Fernando are delightful and it's fun waiting for them to finally figure out things, BUT the plot just gets better and better. I can't wait for the next Ramsey book. For new readers of Ms. Washington's books - prepare to become hooked. She only gets better..

Another Ramsey Masterpiece !!!!

Altonya Fans- I'm telling you if you don't have this book what are you waiting for!!! The next Ramsey installment is just as great as the previous two. If you think the twins had it goin on wait till you meet cousin Fernando and his lady love Countessa. Those two heat up the pages like you wouldn't believe. The chemistry is explosive just like their personalities. The story is a great fast read and in true Altonya fashion she opens up a whole new can of worms that have you jonesin for the next one. I truly cannot wait untill the next installment I'm just glad we won't have to wait as long as we did for this one. It was hard but very well worth the wait. Great job Altonya!!

I loved this book.

Altonya has done it again. Fernando and Contessa's story was worth the wait. This books was full of suspense and surprises. I read this book in one day. Book four will be out later this year. Good Job Altonya.
