Review: The Softer, Sensual Side of Romance

The title of my review may be a little misleading, but it fits the first 2 stories perfectly. I am a huge fan of Tiana Laveen, yet my opinion is totally unbiased. The first story deals with domestic violence and learning to love and trust again in the midst of hurt and deception not only from the abuser but also from a new love...The second tale, and I think, the most romantic of the three, is a "period" piece which Ms. Laveen has become an expert in (in my unbiased opinion). It takes place in the 70's (damn, am I that old???) yet it is totally relatable. It deals not only with interracial love but inter-faith romance as well.The last, and most sensuous of the three, is by far my favorite. If you've read Sins of The Naughty Saint, then you will definitely love this one! Tyee ranks up there with Saint. On a scale of 1 to 10, Tyee is a 15! Tall, dark, muscular, handsome, and sexy as hell!!!Overall, this was a very pleasant and enjoyable read. There were 1 or 2 very minor grammatical errors, would have liked to given it 4.5 stars. I took off 1/2 star because each of the female leads just irked me slightly. Sometimes we don't know a good thing when it's staring us right in the face, and I wanted to slap some sense into them!
