This review is from: Too Hot Too Handle (Mass Market Paperback)
"Too Hot to Handle" is the story of Jenny Eastman and Jared Cates. In the past, Jenny's life had taken a turn for the worse, but now seems to be shaping up. Now even more so because of her involvement with Jared.
Although Jared has been termed "a dog" where women are concerned, now Jared truly has feelings for Jenny and would like to change and become the top dog in Jenny's life.
At first Jenny is skeptical of Jared, who once was involved with women who are now Jenny's friends. Can Jenny's feelings for Jared overcome her doubts brought on by her friends' accusations?
"Too Hot to Handle" is a passionate book. It's not only about Jenny and Jared, but also about Jared's old flames,who pick up their lives from the smothering ashes and move on to light other fires.
"Too Hot to Handle" is another great book by Ms. Jackson. I enjoyed the other stories about the Eastmans and the Cates who we met in one or more of Ms. Jackson's books "A Magical Moment," "Never Too Late for Love", and "The Look of Love."

Too Good, Nov 25 2001
This review is from: Too Hot Too Handle (Mass Market Paperback)
Monica Jackson has out done herself with "Too Hot to Handle". This book diplays th excellent writing style of Monica that she uses to captivate the reader. From the beginning Monica took me on a roller coaster ride, before I got to the bottom, I was already on my way back to the top. When I thought I had enough, I had to read one more page and then another. With this book, I can see Monica's reputation as a romantic writer headed up there with the great ones. Not only does she use romance, but you can feel the psychological and social aspects of a young, black women struggling with relationships in modern world. Will she or will she not?
To describe Monica's writing in a few words, literary genius comes to mind.
