Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am typically one of those readers that likes everything I read, with a few exceptions. These two were those exceptions. The basic plots of both of them were good, though the plot for "Strictly Confidential Attraction" seems like it's been used for many books. The real problem I had was how it all played out. Now I think that before reading, everyone can figure out the general idea of what will happen, and normally, if the twist the author puts on the story is good enough, that doesn't matter. But these stories seem so anti-climatic and somewhat unrealistic in how they play out. It may just be because I've never fallen in love as these characters appear to, but it still seems like it should have played out a little differently. Also, after a while, the dialogue started to get on my nerves. There was a lot of "I enjoyed my evening tonight" with responses of "And I enjoyed my evening tonight as well" or something along those lines. This really got to me because I don't know anyone that talks like that. Maybe in some situations people will be this formal, but they don't respond that way all the time. Especially when the two people talking are supposed to be lovers. All in all, I don't think these storieswere that great. Sorry for those who liked them. As I said before, normally I'm not that critical with what I read. And I've read other books by Brenda Jackson and thought they were pretty good, so I wouldn't base her writing off these books.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTRACTION
"I need you, Alli." Did Mark mean what Alison Lind hoped? Was her boss declaring his passion? Did he feel the same way she secretly did? Apparently not. He was asking her to be nanny to his baby niece. Not an ounce of desire in sight. Or was there? Living together, spending time in intimate surroundings, created a sensual tension too powerful to ignore. How long before this strictly business relationship turned into a strictly passionate predicament?
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS
From the moment she met Tag Elliott, Renee Williams thought of nothing but how his lips would feel on hers. But as a member of Manhattan's wealthiest family, Tag was out of the social worker's league. There was another small matter: she was black and he was white. Renee agreed to one night to live their fantasies, but Tag decided once was not enough. He could ignore the scandal they'd stir; couldn't she? After all, Tag wanted her. And he always got what he wanted...--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
