Noel St. Denis' paths cross with Lyrissa's when he escorts his grandmother to the dealer's shop. Noel is very taken with Lyrissa and the feeling is mutual. However, Lyrissa's family reminds her of her obligation to family and also the commitment Noel has for his family. "Tell Me Something Good" is about two young people who have certain family values they must honor, but who are thrown together and cannot so easily forget their feelings for each other. What will they do? Will they take "The Sunday Stroll" into paradise or will they let their families' problems dictate their lives? Read it to find out.Ms. Emery has written another great book worth buying and reading!

Class Lines Can't Stop Love

Lyrissa Rideau's two aunts have always believed that now deceased members of the very wealthy Creole St. Denis family stole a painting from their family years ago. Through years of listening to her aunts discuss the painting and the thieving St. Denis family, Lyrissa is certain that the story is true. The painting is now valuable both financially and figuratively. The aunts hope that repossession of the painting will also elevate their social standing to where it once was before the family was duped by the St. Denis'.Georgina St. Denis along with her grandson Noel, have hired the Taylor Gallery to pull the family art together and appraise the entire collection. As assistant to gallery owner Shelton Taylor, Lyrissa is in the perfect position to reclaim her families painting. However, Lyrissa soon finds herself being romanced by none other than handsome and persuasive Noel St. Denis, CEO of his families powerful company, Treme Corporation. Lyrissa rejects his advances but can't ignore her increasingly warming feelings toward Noel. He certainly is not what she expected from a St. Denis. But the romance will never get off the ground if Noel's grandmother or his long time friend Felice can stop it. Felice and Georgina St. Denis are cut from the same fabric and both believe that Lyrissa is not good enough for Noel. As always Ms Emery's novels combine romance with intriquing plots, emotional truths and unexpected turns. 'Tell Me Something Good' is good reading.Vannie(~.~)

The best!

This book was the best and I learned a lot about art history and even more about the relationships "Creole" blacks with other AAs's in Louisiana. The romance was excellent too,as was the plot, and I got a new sense of New Orleans even though I have visited it many times.I give it five stars and will read other books by Ms.Emery.
