 Capture this book December 12, 2006

Capture the sunrise; wow strong emotions in this book - Wayne Jordan writes just as well as any female romance writer. His hero and heroine find their way to each other cautiously - Taurean, a man not afraid to show his emtions whether it be passion or tears and Alana having to deal with her fears. Melissa the kid was cute without being syrupy sweet and as for Blake - totally insane. And as for Barbara a real West Indian 'auntie'. I never felt compelled to visit Barbados before only been there in transit but this book changed my mind.
The other book well I give it 3 stars I also could not see the attraction - the heroine seemd to fly off the handle so easily. Why expect a guy she just met to declare a serious commitment just cos he bedded you a few times - get real woman!

Wayne's stroy on my goodness! There was so much emotion in that story. Both of the lead characters had a lot of issues to deal with. It was very well written. I liked the element of mystery in the story as well. I love stories with kids in them and Melissa was funny and adorable. I can seem myself reading this story over and over! I give it 5 stars! I cannot wait to see what other stories that he comes up with. Devon's was good and had it's funny moments.

"Capture the Sunrise" was a very good read. Taurean was a well developed character and it was a pleasure to experience. I could feel him exhale once he spoke to Alana about his guilt. I have been asked to do the same thing his brother asked of him and made the same decision that he did. Thank goodness I didn't experience the same results from that act of love.
I also enjoyed the well researched and executed back story of Alana and her daughter. It was nice to see her take time to heal herself after the years of abuse she experienced. It was realistic for her panic about starting a new relationship after rediscovering herself. The character interaction in this book was well paced and the ending was satisfying. I loved little melissa. The child-like innocence and wisdom to discern which adults were trustworthy after life with her dad speaks of the resilience of children. I thought more would be said about Alanas childhood in Barbados; but maybe that will be addressed in the coming installments of the "Buchanan Brothers". .......
"Dark and Dashing", I found very uneven and confusing. I couldn't figure out why Maurice was attracted to Conneca since everytime he tried to engage her attention she would fly off the handle. There was too much introspective thought and not enough dialogue between the characters. At times it seemed as if it was write by numbers; (insert name here, give fashion info there, feel emoition here.... etc.) They were contemplating their futures without interaction. ????? I liked Lee and Nadine though.

In the enticing novella SLOW MOTION, readers are introduced to BET Publications' first male Arabesque romance authors Wayne Jordan and R. Barri Flowers, writing as Devon Vaughn Archer.
Capture The Sun by Wayne Jordan takes us to a little cottage situated on the enchanted beaches of Barbados where Alana Smyth-Connell and her daughter are hiding out from her ex-husband. However, they are not alone. Taurean Buchanan, in need of solace from the outside world, is also there. His brother has offered him the use of his vacation house for a few months. Unbeknownst to Tauren and his brother, his sister-in-law has also granted Alana use of the cottage. Although they decide to make the best of the situation, the instant attraction between them will cause some problems.
In Devon Vaughn Archer's Dark and Dashing readers are introduced to Conneca Sheridan owner of the Sheridan Seaside Inn. While at a charity auction to promote literacy, one wrong move causes Conneca to offer the highest bid for renowned author Maurice Templeton. After a night on the town followed by a passionate kiss, Conneca makes it clear that she is not interested in a relationship. Maurice, however, has other plans. Deciding to stay in town for a few more days, he tracks Conneca down and makes a reservation to stay at her inn. What follows is a fairy tale romance, until Maurice's ex-wife/writing partner shows up.
SLOW MOTION is a well-written book with two tantalizing tales of romance. Jordan and Archer have penned wonderful stories. The storylines, characterizations and plots were on point. Each page flowed from chapter to chapter without missing a beat. Highly recommended, SLOW MOTION is a novella that will be enjoyed by readers for years to come.

Best Romance for 2005 January 1, 2006
Janice (DeSoto, Texas)
I just bought this book today and all i can say is wow. I have not read a book this good in a long time. The fact that it is a romance book written by men was also a delight because it shows just how romantic a man can be. However, my all time favorite was Capture the Sunrise...too good beyond words. Its a well written story about two people who learn to trust and learn to love again. I couldnt put it down untill i was finished.
