Okay fellow IR readers, it took me a LONG time tto decide to start buying group because i could never get a real sense of what it was about from the summary or reviews. So I will attempt to give you a general summary without a spoiler. This 12 volume series is packed with love, hate, intrigue, violence,laughter and, of course, sex! It is the soap opera of IR! Sylvia (the African American heroine) is woman who raised 2 kids that she had with a dangerous and abusive husband in Chicago and has now relocated to a small town in Wisconsin where she hopes to fulfill her dream of becoming a writer and a truly independent woman! Enter Shawn - our hero, who is white and her neighbor across the street. A handsome alpha male on a motorcycle who is loud, multi-talented, riddled with unresolved issues related to his father's harsh rearing practices and his experiences after he angrily left home for L.A. where he learned about "the streets", married a wealthy heiress with crazy and depraved parents, had a daughter by her, divorced her, and is now hell bent on making making Sylvia his wife! This is BOWMAW! I got hooked because I wanted to know what happened next! It really does unfold like a made for TV series like Dallas or the Sopranos.I gave it 4 stars because I believe that there were too many minor editing errors in this expensive ($9.99/ea) series and often a gratuitous usage of "street talk" and dialect by characters where it is totally unnecessary. I believe that sometimes the descripsons of the characters' personal  thoughts go on too long as well. This did NOT stop me from enjoying this work.I must also add, that the author is creative, is able to write great dialogue between characters that is both serious and humorous, and she has kept me interested for 12 ebooks looking forward to #13! Hurry up M.K!
