Tinsel Town is about to learn a few lessons from a Southern doctor with the courage to win the heart of a man who swore no woman ever would.

One encounter is all it takes; and she realizes her life is changed forever. Jazz musician, Raphael Baptiste is no stranger to women or their beds. When an illness strikes, his life is thrown into turmoil. But the quiet Southern belle sees beyond his past and bitterness. She sees a man who could love. . .

Ralphael Baptiste, a music mogul, is a ladies’ man, and being so, he knew he could have any woman of his choosing, with the exception of Laney Houston. There was something about this wealthy doctor that has caused him to choose a vow of celibacy, and render him speechless every time she crosses his mind.

Laney Houston is a wealthy scientist and has a passion for healing. Being of mixed ancestry, not many approve of her status and are determined to put her in her place. Dr. Houston has a thing for Raphael, aka, Ray but she is keeping that secret to herself. She knows about his past and refuses to be another one of his conquests.

Ray and Laney find themselves in the middle of the action when Ray is diagnosed with a life threatening disease. There are people who want Ray out of the way and then there are those who want Laney out of the way. The two join together to fight their enemies and prove that love is much more than physical pleasure.

This was my first LaConnie Taylor-Jones read and I did enjoy it. The book is approximately 172 pages and I feel that there was more space and time to develop some of the scenes and relationships in the story.

I look forward to reading more from this author. 

Having Fun with LaConnie

1.Would you rather find true love or be filthy rich? Uuh, could I have a little of both - LOL!!  No seriously, love is something money can never buy.  It's priceless.

2.      Would you rather sing in the rain or dance in the streets?  Since I can't carry a tune if my life depended on it, I'd double down on dancing in the streets.

3.      Complete this sentence - If you were stranded on an island… I'd consider it a blessing from the duties of parenting three teenagers who think they know everything, but don’t know jack!

4.      Out of all your college experiences, what was the most fun? Staying up all night paying Bid Whist!

5.      If I came to your home and looked in your refrigerator, what would I find? Considering I have three teenagers at home, you'll always find pizza and sodas.
