Customer Reviews

Magnificently Awesome!

Most romance novels tend to be too dreamy, with a slow beginning. But this novel is very realistic . It has characters and a plot that many women (especially in technical fields) can relate to. The story is so well put together that the romance becomes the icing on the cake. If you enjoy suspense and a mix of passion with an ultimate happy ending, then you will enjoy this book!

Excellent work! Computer professionals do have emotions.

It is a general impression that computer professional work in dark closed rooms. They have a heart of steel and electric pulses pump out blood or electricity in their bodies. They live in super-natural reality and can create a world of matrix - what ever they like or want to be. This is a story of such a computer professional, but far different from the above assumptions, who is no different from any one of us - non-technical, very much alive with emotions and desires, a passion for life - which is much more beautiful with the colors of love, affection, have bounds of family, social threads and norms of society. An excellent presentation! Valerie's expression of the emotions and love is excellent. Very much live, like the characters in this novel. Looking forward and waiting for her next work in the market.

My first time!

What a great job! This was my first romance novel. I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. I couldn't put it down some nights just waiting for Khavon and Alayna to get together. The characters were very real to me. The writing was very easy to read and the length of the novel was just right. I can't wait to read Valerie Rose's next novel because this one was a real winner! You go girl! .

Suspense

I found the characters (Alayna & Khavon) to be so real. The book held my attention from beginning to end. I enjoyed the fact the she was an educated successful woman even though she had a rough childhood. I believe many women can relate to what Alyana is feeling about marriage. Life is full of suprises and so is this book! It is definetly a winner. The romance scenes are the ones you only think about when you are with that special person! I can't wait for the next book...

Because I Care.

CAPPUCCINO was excellent! I expected romance. There was much more to it than that. It was romantic, thrilling, exciting, intriguing. I want to 'meet ' the characters. In many ways, I found myself relating to different aspects of the characters' lives.
