Although at first I had trouble getting through the beginning of the book it appeared to be a quite interesting and fascinating story. By the way, the part about the coup very much reminded me of August 1990... Simona just go on with your great stories!

Everything it should be!

I couldn't put Mesmerized down. When Christian comes back to Trinidad in the first scene, six years after Sean left him on the night of their engagement, the tension takes off. This book is not only a great romance but I learned something about Trinidad, it's industries and politics. I learned later the religious terrorist thing really happened! This is the third Simona Taylor book I have read and I loved them all. Each one is different. I like to learn things when I read and this writer always delivers. I learn something about the place, it's history or the people who live there. I always fall in love with the men, they are so wonderful. I am really looking forward to her next book.

Pretty good, pretty dawg gone good!

Any brotha that will stay with a sista when she becomes unable to take care of herself is just heart warming to me. It absolutely stole my heart when Christian (the hero) washed Sean's hair for her (the heroine), but it made me mad when Sean tried to act all uppity with him. I mean, how can you get a brother better than that (which is why I gave the book a 4 instead of a 5)? If Sean doesn't want him, I'll take him!And oh my goodness, I cannot tell you how the terrorist scenes had me steadly turning from page to page. And when you finally find out who the mystery character is, it'll really make you think about our own country's stability in times of terrorist attacks.Extremely moving and intriguing, definitely a most read. The Arabesque people knew what they were doing when they choose this author!
