Pretty good conclusion of Intimate Intensions

I noticed something while reading this book. In the first book Intimate Intensions, Angie did not have one curse word in it. But boy, when we got to When it rains... All of a sudden every curse word you could think of was in this book. It might've had something to do with the publisher, I don't know, but I thought it was a pretty good conclusion, it took a little too long for Honey to finally admit that she loved Jay though. She was starting to get on my nerve after a while. Otherwise, I thought it was a good read.

A strong and interesting story line...

Angie Daniels delivers a strong and interesting story line with characters that pop. Her language is intense and have your mate ready after you've read Daniels' steamy and enticing love scenes. Everything was well placed and I enjoyed how her sub-plots were ticked and tied to the end. If you want a contemporary romance that reaches slightly out of the box this is the book for you.

When It RainsbyAngieDaniels:An PeoplewholoveGoodBooks Review

When It Rains by Angie Daniels is the story of Honey and Jay. Honey is hiding painful secrets from her past and from Jay, the man she falls in love with. Jay, unable to understand why Honey keeps pushing him away, has a an one-nite stand with Kendra....a woman from his past. A woman who of course, winds up pregnant with his child and Kendra is determined to marry Jay and raise their child. She gives a new meaning to the phrase "By Any Means Necessary"!! What I enjoyed most about this book was the romance that unfolds between Honey and Jay, once she opens up to him and tells him ONE of her secrets (Yes, there is another one), he pulls out all the stops to reassure her of his love and of course, Kendra puts a end to it. There are some twists and turns, and of course, plenty of drama. This book is a blend of mystery, suspense, self-discovery and romance that makes for a very satsifying story. I give this book 4 stars! Reviewed by Shay C of PeoplewholoveGoodBooks.

Beginnings of a rainbow

When everything is going well in your life you revel in the wonderful feeling, but when things start happening to change that good feeling to bad, you wonder if you will ever recapture happiness again. For Honey and Jay, as much as they want their relationship to work, more obstacles present themselves to block them. WHEN IT RAINS delves into Honey and Jay's courtship as they battle with their past, their present and their future. Honey is a successful beauty salon owner who has had her share of unsuccessful relationships. When Honey and Jay start spending many evenings together, their friendship begins to blossom into more. But, will Honey's past hamper their burgeoning love? Can she finally let go of the painful secret she has harbored for so long? Jay has a successful investigation and security company. He too has had his share of women, but with Honey he finds something worth pursuing. When Jay tried to take their friendship to the next level, Honey immediately froze and pushed him a way. Not understanding Honey's reluctance, Jay makes a monumental mistake. His mistake, in the form of former girlfriend, Kendra brings more drama to his life than ever expected. Will he be able to convince Honey his love is the real thing or, will Kendra's conniving ways keep the couple apart? Angie Daniels delivers a contemporary romance where the couple experiences pitfalls on their road to love and romance. Honey and Jay must face not only their respective pasts, they must be able to deal with what the future holds. WHEN IT RAINS is a realistic portrayal of a couple finding love. The characters were genuine and well developed around a believable storyline. I liked that Ms. Daniels didn't give us the typical romantic ending, instead, she gave us a reasonable one. No road to love is paved smoothly, sometimes when it rains, it pours and sometimes there is even a rainbow. Reviewed by Cashana Seals of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers
