Cairo Ivory is a beautiful woman with a flair for dating the wrong men. The last mishap was two years ago, and large enough to sink the Titanic. Cairo changes her focus to only encompass her career as an attorney. And while that redirected energy has helped her gain a spectacular record of wins it didn’t warm Cairo’s bed. After years of working divorce cases, Cairo has decided that a relationship really isn’t worth the trouble until she meets Jose. Sex, lies, and crazy ex-wives seem to be lurking around every corner.
Will Jose be able to vanquish Cairo’s attitude in regards to marriage? With the rising of the sun comes the possibility for a new beginning.
Dana Littlejohn is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. The Sun Rose Over Cairo is a story about love and healing. Jose was in an abusive marriage with a wigged-out wife. He had to learn the hard way that “I do” can just be the means to an end for some people. Jose is handsome and shy with a body to make you weep for joy. Top that off with brains and no woman stands a chance of escaping his natural allure and charms. Cairo is blessed to have a friend who recognizes her needs and won’t let her caution distract her from getting to know Jose. I believe in her heart she really wanted someone she could love and feel safe with, but the characters from her past dampened her resolve to fight for the “happily ever after”. This book has more twists than a rollercoaster ride. You don’t just get sex that can pop your toenails off. You gain a bit of suspense, humor, and the opportunity to watch karma in action. I’m only hoping that Ms. Littlejohn will bring back some of the other characters for their own novels. If you like romance with a twist, you won’t be disappointed with The Sun Rose Over Cairo.

Simply Romance Grade: AThe Sun Rose Over Cairo was a novel that made you think that this could so happen to someone in real life. Ms. Littlejohn's characters could have easily been any group of friends and the hilarious things they go through on a daily basis. I can really relate to knowing someone nicknamed "Pumkin" that has a first name that makes most people say, "Huh?" The gradual romance between Jose and Cairo started out as friends and then progressed to lovers who I thought would stand the test of marriage and become one of the "Old Marriages" that lasted "until death do us part." I so enjoyed the characters in this book that I hope to see what happens to the other women in their quest to find Mr. Right. ~Reviewed by Shira
