Through the Fire
Monica Jackson shows plus-sized beauty Cherise Givens how to surrender her love of control when she falls for an ex-Navy SEAL. But then a weekend getaway turns dangerous, and the alpha male in the man emerges-making her wonder if she can get Through the Fire with someone who’s as strong and outspoken as she.
Library Journal
Continuing the tradition established with Living Large, four top African American writers join forces in another sassy, upbeat anthology featuring successful, sexy, plus-sized women who are out to live life to the fullest. A hard-driving woman with too much stress in her life falls for her doctor in Donna Hill’s “Dr. Love”; a brainy academic and sexy veterinarian reunite after years apart and find the sizzle is still there in Brenda Jackson’s “The Perfect Seduction”; a pilot’s heart attack results in an emergency parachute landing and romance in the wild for a take-charge woman and a former Navy SEAL in Monica Jackson’s “Through the Fire”; and a too-busy designer hires a curvaceous domestic diva (a.k.a. “hired wife”) and finds love in spite of himself in Francis Ray’s “His Everything Woman.” Although the stories will not appeal equally, this collection is perfect for readers of all sizes and ethnicities and is just the thing to curl up with on a cold winter’s night.
