5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Book!, July 8 2001

By

Luv2Read "imareader2" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hearts Desire (Paperback)

Kara Kincaid is a woman with a mission. However, she does not count on Brent Stevens coming into her life or disrupting her intentions. Also, Kara did not think of others being involved or getting hurt by her actions. Kara meets Jenny Eastman and her family. They have more than one thing in common. Kara must makes some decisions that could not only hurt her and her career, but hurt a lot of other people, who she has come to care a lot about. However, can Kara let her feelings overcome her desire for revenge or will love play a major part in her "heart's desire"?

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE WHEN WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE!, Jun 3 2000

This review is from: Hearts Desire (Paperback)

But we find in this web of deceit, the hunter gets captured by the game! Ms. Monica Jackson has penned a beautiful tale of how revenge can turn around and bite the one in pursuit.

Kara Smith learned on her mother's deathbed that her father (who deserted them before Kara was born) was none other than a prominent government official, Congressman Sidney Eastman. She is so incensed at this knowledge that she devises a plan to bring the Congressman down.

Brent Stevens, the Congressman's Administrative Assistant is the instrument Kara initially uses to bring her plan of revenge into play. But she didn't figure on falling for the prey she had set up.

The stage is set and he web begins when Kara meets Brent at a party and passes herself off as an easy "woman of the night." This in itself goes against the grain of Kara's upbringing. Her mother had provided an environment of the strictest religious edits,in which romance of the soul was a definite no no.

Though the sexual tension was quite evident in this first meeting, the fulfillment was not to be. Kara accomplished her goal if stealing papers from Brent that would be detrimental to his employer (Congressman Eastman) if they should ever become public.

Now the roller coaster of deceit really gets started. But the ride would take Kara on many unanticipated adventures.

Now the net of deceit must expand to include meetings between Kara and her siblings Jenny and Dante. The introduction of these characters really add much drama to the situation.

Ms. Jackson pens a romance tale that whets our appetites for more of the same. I personally have ordered all the rest of her books and look forward to reding them with as much enthusiasm as this one.

A winnah!

5.0 out of 5 stars Talk about family drama, May 25 2000

This review is from: Hearts Desire (Paperback)

Kara Smith got the shock of her life and on her mother's death bed at that. Her father was not really dead, but a famous congressman. All Kara could feel for her father was anger. He wanted her mother to get rid of her. Her mother loved this man to death. Kara decided she would make him pay for her mother's pain.

Kara met Brent Stevens. Her father's right hand man. Brent was also engaged to Kara's half sister Jenny.

Jenny turned out to be kind of like a fatal attraction when it came to Brent.

Kara's half brother Dante, was drooling all over her when they met. He had his problems too, with women.

Kara's stepmother Tiffany, was a drunk. But, after I continued to read their story, I see how she was just trying to drown her sorrows.

Brent and Kara fell in love unexpectedly and that love was truly tested.

This was a wonderful story by Ms. Jackson. I wanted to re-read this story right before I picked up Tiffany's story Never Too Late For Love.
