Review
“I’ve been a big fan of the Tennyson Hardwick series since CASANEGRA—and Ten is back and better than ever. FROM CAPE TOWN WITH LOVE has something for everyone: the trademark sex and sizzle, and a nod to James Bond that makes this a high-octane thrill ride. Underwood, Due and Barnes don’t disappoint. If you love great fiction penned by superb writers and brilliant storytellers, get onboard!”
--Eric Jerome Dickey, New York Times bestselling author of Resurrecting Midnight and Dying for Revenge
“Bold, sexy, and engaging, FROM CAPE TOWN WITH LOVE is an amazing novel penned by extremely talented storytellers! Tennyson Hardwick continues to be one of the most superb characters in contemporary literature.”
--Zane, New York Times bestselling author of TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART, executive producer and screenwriter, Cinemax Original Series "Zane's Sex Chronicles"
"Heart-stopping and crazy sexy, FROM CAPE TOWN WITH LOVE will keep your pulse pounding through the long night. Tennyson Hardwick is a hero for the 21st Century. Easy Rawlins, say hello to James Bond!"
--Paul Levine, author of ILLEGAL
Product Description
THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHORS OF CASANEGRA AND IN THE NIGHT OF THE HEAT TEAM UP FOR A THIRD TIME TO PRESENT FROM CAPE TOWN WITH LOVE, A TENNYSON HARDWICK NOVEL.
Actor-turned-detective Tennyson Hardwick has solved two high-profile deaths in Hollywood, but nothing has prepared him for a race to save a child’s life.
Tennyson’s past in the sex game cost him his new girlfriend, and he brings her to Cape Town, South Africa—a scenic film destination and playground for the rich—to try to win her back. There Tennyson is hired as a bodyguard by superstar Sofia Maitlin when she visits an orphanage to adopt an African child.
Months later, Maitlin offers Tennyson one of Hollywood’s hottest tickets—a job as a bodyguard at adopted daughter Nandi’s A-list celebrity birthday party.
But the party is over before it begins. When Nandi’s birthday goes dreadfully wrong, it’s up to a guilt-ridden Tennyson to save a child’s life and reunite a Hollywood family.
But how? He can’t go to the police, the FBI has threatened to arrest him, and Big Brother is monitoring his telephone calls.
To find Nandi, Tennyson will have to rely on tips from his father—a retired LAPD captain—and a mysterious woman from his past, Marsha, who has already proven she can’t be trusted. His strongest lead is a deadly knife fighter known only as Spider.
When his search for the missing child crosses Marsha’s covert investigation into a criminal gang with ties to South Africa, Tennyson knows that finding Nandi might cost him his freedom—or his life.

Suspenseful, Exhilarating & Sexy, May 17 2010
By Chayako - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From Cape Town with Love: A Tennyson Hardwick Novel (Hardcover)
Suspenseful, exhilarating and sexy. From Cape Town with Love will leave you on the edge of your seat as once again Tennyson Hardwick has found himself in another mess. This page turner will have you holding your breathe as the intoxicating actor/bodyguard Ten deals with love, family, work and his own mortality.If ever there was a book made for the big screen, this is it. The trio of authors do an excellent job helping us to visualize the beauty of South Africa, experience the roller coaster of emotions from the characters all while reminding us that everyone is vulnerable. Although reading Casanegra and In the Night of the Heat is not required, I strongly encourage doing so in order to fully appreciate the authors development of the characters.
It has been a pleasure taking these adventures with Tennyson Hardwick and I look forward to more.

It just keeps getting better!!, May 15 2010
By Leeza "Mamaloves2read" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From Cape Town with Love: A Tennyson Hardwick Novel (Hardcover)
It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.Someone clearly has never told Tennyson Hardwick this because from the moment he steps foot on the soil of South Africa -- majestic, beautiful and the place where the rich and famous pay mighty to get as close to God's beauty on earth as possible -- the hero we all love to love finds out just where his good intentions take him. He's there to win back the love of his life, the only woman who managed to tame the heart of the gigolo turned actor turned private detective. It's the latter that drove April away after she watched him solve two high-profile Hollywood murders while at the same time barely escaping with his own life.
So instead of just licking the wounds of his broken heart and falling into the first bed he could find, which is easy when you are a man like Ten, he heads to South Africa on a mission to get his girl. But soon into the trip, he finds himself guarding a Hollywood A-list actress when she visits an orphanage to adopt an African child.
That successful trip puts him on the speed dial of superstar Sofia Maitlin and garners him another gig serving as a bodyguard at her adopted daughter's birthday party. It was supposed to be an easy day, guarding a pampered American princess who was being celebrated by Hollywood royalty. But like Tennyson always finds out, good intentions lead to no where but hell.
Next comes a kidnapping that puts Ten right in the middle of a web of lies, espionage, danger and uncertainty that only he can escape. And, this time he has someone else who needs him more, a beautiful little girl's life hangs in the balance.
If you thought Casanegra was good and In the Night of the Heat was better, than not picking up From Cape Town with Love is not even an option. Join Ten on his latest case, where he falls back on what he knows and teams up with a mystery woman from his past that is supposed to help him with what he doesn't know. Don't skip a page because you are going to want to be there for every single word. After all, it just keeps getting better.

Tennyson Hardwick does it again!, May 14 2010
By MiaC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From Cape Town with Love: A Tennyson Hardwick Novel (Hardcover)
If you enjoyed the first Tennyson Hardwick novels, then this one is sure to be an additional treat! A continuation of the surperb story telling about this amazing yet slightly troubled man, and his ability to get pulled into the oddest situations. Starting in Capetown South Africa, the latest Tennyson adventure takes you from Africa to Hollywood, touching on plenty but missing nothing. I highly recommend this latest installment in the series, and I applaud Tananarive Due and Blair Underwood for creating this series (which I absolutely LOVE). Oh yes - the cover of the book is also worth its weight in GOLD (Blair Underwood is HOT!)Enjoy!
