Absolute Wonderul

Sabrina captured her readers with an suspenseful, romantic and intriguing plot. The antagonist portrayed was different than the normal literature reading. I was impressed and amazed at the development of the characters and how they "jumped" off the pages. Oprah should put this in her book club! Matters Of The Heart, makes us all take a closer look within our own hearts.

Getting To The Heart of the Matter

Nurse Katilla Richardson and Dr. Kenneth Michaels are trained professionals at Heartland Memorial Hospital. And as any professional knows you should never mix business with pleasure, especially when business involves saving lives. Find out what happens when two people jeopardize their morals and integrity, all in the name of love in Sabrina McAfee's Matters of the Heart. Katilla is sexy, attractive and independent. Recovering from her breakup with former NFL superstar, Brendan, Katilla is focused on becoming a Physician Assistant. This is harder than it seems since the school only admits the top twenty-five candidates. As if on cue an emergency surgery catapults Katilla face to face with the handsome, Dr. Kenneth Michaels. The same Dr. Michaels who serves on the board of admissions at Orlando's leading school of medicine. Determined to ensure her interview with the board, Katilla begins her ploy of seduction with Kenneth as her bait. Kenneth is Heartland Memorial's most prominent surgeon and in the midst of mourning the loss of his beloved wife, LeAnn. Katilla's flirting and lack of professionalism leaves Kenneth appalled; but his callous attitude adds fuel to her fiery game of enticement. Before long, Kenneth's charisma alters her modus operandi and Katilla falls head over heels in love. Out of nowhere a skeleton threatens to come out of the closet that could forfeit their plans of happiness. The perpetrators involved are questionable and so is Kenneth and Katilla's love for one another.With the voice of a seasoned author, Sabrina McAfee's Matters of the Heart packs a powerful punch. Although somewhat formulaic in its inception, McAfee kept me riveted with the subplots at conclusion. I cannot go without stating McAfee's use of numerous characters was phenomenal and each were fully developed; I walked away with a sense of closure for all. Katilla's portrayal as the antagonistic character was even more intriguing and a nice reprieve from the norm. McAfee's debut is overflowing with romance, suspense, drama and humor. Matters of the Heart has something for everyone and is a surefire debut for this talented new voice. Reviewed by Nicki LancasterAPOOO BookClub

Matters of the Heart? ...Well for Nurse, Katilla Richardson, the only thing that mattered were her personal goals and ambitions, which lead her to weave a web of lies and deceit and ultimately she is its only captivate.Throughout Katilla's career as a Nurse at Heartland Memorial Hospital, she has longed to advance. Her dream is to become a physician's assistant, but its easier said then done when one must stand before the review board and undergo a rigorous process, where only the strong survive and even then only a few are accepted. Katilla has a plan that involves, the extremely handsome, but cantankerous Dr. Kenneth Micheals whom has final say, as to who's in and who's out. Will this plan work or is it just another instance of the hunter being captured by the game?In Matters of the Heart, the narrator's voice reminds me of Southern neighbors trading gossip across the backyard fence. The story rolls right along at an engaging pace with subplots that are just as interesting as the main storyline with characters larger than life. I found myself rooting for some, while wishing the worst for others. Also in some scenes there is a level of nail biting intensity that you would only expect a seasoned writer to accomplish, Sabrina manages to pull it off, right in the very beginning when she calls a code blue that sends the reader spiraling head first into this unique romance.Sabrina has also taken a lighthearted approach that had me laughing aloud on more than one occasion. To spin this lightly whimsical tale of love and loss, she uses wit, to not only entertain but also enlighten. Ms. McFee's style is crisp and direct, the genre is sensual romance so be warned. I commend Ms. McFee's efforts with the exception of what served as a minor deterrent for myself and that is...her usage of adjectives, which seemed a bit cumbersome. Matters of the Heart, makes for a fine debut novel, I do suggest that you read this one for yourself.`Matters of The Heart', by Sabrina Mcafee' is available wherever books are sold and you can learn more about me, Marian E. and my current titles, at www.bettmarr.com and don't forget to sign the guest book!
