2 great reviews for Cairo!

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: A
The 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

Hot Chocolate On A Cold Day by Dana Littlejohn

Summary: Are you up to Hot Chocolate on a cold day? Lizette Moreno is a stay at home computer tech. Her friends chipped in to send her on a ski weekend for her birthday making her promise to try some new things. While enjoying a hot toddy by the fire she is informed that her sleeping arrangements have been compromised and finds herself in bed with Dante Roberts. Could Lizette muster up enough guts to make Dante the first new "thing" she tries?

My Review: Very good book, quick read, fast paced, I really liked the interaction between main characters, from the moment Lisa sees Dante until the last word. I do have to say this is one of better erotic scenes that I have had the opportunity to read. It is not the average run of the mill, wham, bam, thank you ma'am scenarios. I liked the way Ms. Littlejohn was able begin the love making, hot and sexy and yet at the same time funny and embarrassing. I really loved how lisa took control. Hot, sexy and totally what I would want if I could get some “Hot Chocolate on a Cold Day!”
Dante and Lisa fit together because they are so wonderfully sweet and yet sexy together. I have to say all and all a satisfying and just all around good read. So I have to give it.

Take a look at Asian Spice

Taniea is dumped by her boyfriend for being too bold, too aggressive and too mouthy. Throwing herself into her new job she traveled to China and met Michael Shen. She convinced him that a fling while she was in his country would be time well spent for them both. Would two weeks of Taniea be too much for Michael to handle or will he leave everything he knows to have a thousand more with her?

Taniea Onyx is a tough but feminine corporate executive, destined for great things. Tired of all the playing, and just dumped by a chauvinistic idiot who was threatened by her success, she was completely bowled over when she was passed up for one promotion, only to be given an even greater opportunity by her boss. Being recognized that way made up for a lot, and the trip to China for training, and a hot affair with her most desirable host and liaison really was a boost to her spirits. Michael Shen was a great lover, tender, compassionate, demanding her best but treating her as an equal. Neither Taniea nor Michael had experienced such a give and take before, and it was a great and an unexpected bonus to Michael. Would they find a way to make things work? Will Taniea give up all to stay with Michael?
Well, dear hearts, if you want the answers to these and other questions, head on over to Phaze and pick up your copy of Asian Spice and find out who does what in the end. It is a book that will likely end up on your keeper shelf, and one you won’t put down till it’s done. Dana Littlejohn hits the mark with Asian Spice. It is a hot little number from Dana Littlejohn, and a very enjoyable read.

Taniea was a feisty heroine, one who saw what she wanted and went for it. She did this in both her personal and professional life. DeMarcus could not handle this but Michael may be just the one who can. If only he did not live so far away. Michael also found Taniea to be exciting and sexy but the distance between their homes and jobs made it impossible. Is there any hope for a long-term relationship? Pick up Asian Spice to find out and be prepared to be delighted and entertained by Taniea and Michael. Dana Littlejohn has penned a tale guaranteed to get our attention and ignite our senses. A little spice goes a long way in Dana Littlejohn's Asian Spice, a short, sexy, and hot novella.

Star Rating: 4 Stars

Asian Spice is a romantic story of what happens when a woman meets a real man who accepts her as his equal. I was a bit shocked by Taniea’s boldness at times but I loved the fact that she didn’t change to try and keep a man. Michael surprised me in the end, but definitely in a good way. As a couple they, they were hotter than summer in Las Vegas, and a perfect balance. Dana Littlejohn has written another scorcher.
