Review: Carla is her own unique person
Rating: 4 out of 5

Some readers might be familiar with the first book of this series, Vanilla on Top, and after reading this one might think Carla (Avoiding Mr. Right) isn't like Heather (Vanilla on Top). They'd be right. That's not a bad thing and in fact in my opinion its great. Great because author, C.J. Ellisson, has not done the cheap cop-out and recycled the previous book and just changed the names of the characters which I see much too often in contemporary romance books.Carla like all of us is unique and is written as such; not a blonde copy of Heather. It makes for a much richer book and overall series. Some readers might not like Carla when she's first introduced, but this book is all about a woman's spiritual and emotional growth as well as a sexy romance.For those readers who only care if it is a sexy story, no fear there either. I personally loved the character Andy. He's strong and commanding along with an equal balance of manly and sensitive. *of course his name does mean "manly" ;)* Andy senses Carla's worth and deep need for a strong man in her life who can take charge without being abusively controlling. His demonstrations of dominance in and out of the bedroom atmosphere are HOT.This book even though part of a series can stand on its own. However I think the reader will get much more out of the series if they also read Vanilla on Top.
