Sienna Mynx has to be one of my favorite interracial romance authors. She has demonstrated that even an erotic novella can have a plot, endearing and heartfelt protagonists, and quite frankly weaving a magical romantic story all in one. My funny valentine is a sweet romantic book to read especially for the valentines holiday. Although told in first person by both the main characters the writing an editing was so good I daresay it exceeds most of today's leading romantic authors such as Brenda Joyce and Linda Howard.The story begins with thirty five year old Tia Jackson who although is a successful career woman she has not been able to find a boyfriend let alone a man that she is comfortable introducing to her obnoxious but loving family, as a result she tells little white lies about low down rotten imaginary boyfriends who cheat and leave. As a result of her little white fibs her eldest sister takes charge of Tias love life and sets her up with a blind date; panicked Tia tells her family that she has a new boyfriend by the name of Melvin, who is an owner of a flower shop, a gardener, and he is white. Meet Melvin the average blue collar joe who works day and night to keep his parents flower business thriving. In love with Tia since he was eleven years old Melvin takes advantage of the opportunity Tia presents and begins his plan of seduction. Yet with a shadowed past Melvin desperately clings to Tia hoping she will learn to trust and love him as he does her.In conclusion this novel was great and I urge all readers to buy the book. It is fantastic.
