Arrington Family Series ... Total Rating: ♥♥♥♥♡ (4.8) (Semi-Spoiler Review) (Warning: Extensive Review)This series includes six stories: Shelbi, Bria, Cannon story part 1 and 2, Raven and lastly Sean. *Before you ask, yes, you can read them as Standalone novels; yet, as noted by the author her recommendation is reading them in order; and I must agree. If read out of order, you will be subjected to spoilers. Now, if you do not mind spoilers, read them in the order you prefer.Even though each Arrington is a doctor, the stories are not filled with medical terminology; a plus for me; it is mainly about their internal quest for love. Some will say; the stories are predictable; news flash, which story is not. Some will say; the story lines are not realistic, they're boring; oh-okay, don't you say but to each its own; I love them all! After each novel, either Candace Shaw will make you believe that true love is in the existence or she will cause you to laugh, blush, and smile to yourself; I know I did!Author Candace Shaw and her editor has done a fantastic task with each novel, from my outlook!!! The editing of each novel was beyond superb; from my viewing, I only caught one editing mishap out of the whole series, and it was something I would have miss over if I didn't sit my tablet down and had to reread that chapter.I would like to note I absolutely love this author style of writing; sexy and funny; with that been said I had only wished each novel were a tad longer. I wished she had combined the Prequel: Simply Amazing and Only One for Me into one story, instead of separating them. Overall, the length of these stories, didn't stop me from reading them, and hopefully it wouldn't stop you. If you only read romance, love driven and not drama full stories; I will attest you will not be disappointed. For those that are looking for several erotic sex scenes, these are not the novels for you. Yet, each novel has a few dashes of love scenes that will definitely make you want to reread the scene.(1st) Cooking Up Love: (Shelbi and Justin) ♥♥♥♥♥ (the baby sister of the Arrington family Shelbi Arrington, a former Med school grad turned feisty food critic; is my favorite Arrington. She is funny, intelligent, and loves to eat! Yet, when she meets Chef Justin Richardson; the two love is prep with enough seasoning and cooked with enough love that would make you want another serving.)(2nd) The Game of Seduction: (Bria and Rasheed) ♥♥♥♥ (the second to youngest sister of the family. Dr. Bria; as her baby sister she is also funny, intelligent, and loves to eat; yet she is a man's girl; athletic and she loves Basketball. We all meet the non-committed Rasheed in Book 1 of the series. Yet when he meets Bria, his playboy ways are slam-dunk into love.)(Prequel to 3rd Only One for Me) Simply Amazing: ♥♥♥♥♥ (the oldest and twin brother of Raven; Cannon Arrington even before he became a doctor; Cannon has always been focused on, finishing medical school, and given back to his community. What happens when this career driven man meets the laidback, beautiful and smart First-grade teacher Yasmine Dubose. Will Yasmine get Cannon, to create a better syllabus adding laughter and love to it; or will Cannon drop Yasmine love class?)(3rd) Only One for Me: (Cannon and Yasmine) ♥♥♥♥♥ (Twelve years later, the answers to all our questions are now answered. The tables are turned; what happens when career motivated Yasmine meets back up with Cannon, who mission now is to have her. Will Cannon pass his test that is been administrated by Yasmine, or will he fail?)(4th) Prescription for Desire: (Raven and Armand) ♥♥♥♥♥ (the older sophisticated Dr. Raven is my second favorite Arrington. Raven has experience so much in her adult personal life; even though I haven't experience what she has, I'm sure there is a woman out there that has; still I love how the author by words, made me empathize with her feelings. So question, what happens when a doctor needs a prescription written, in this matter, Dr. Armand Phillips was just what the doctor ordered.)(5th) My Kinda Girl (Sean) ... Novel not released yet. Will revise review, afterwards. Simply Amazing was just as it is titled...Amazing. In this short novella we meet Cannon Arrington and his love interest Yasmine Dubose. Two people who knew each other as kids when her mom mentored Cannon in Science. Little do the two realize they would meet 8 years later and pursue a relationship. Of course there are some bumps in this relationship and readers will have to read this story before the next Arrington installment. Great love story.
What do You think about Simply Amazing (2012)?
What a nice prelude to what I am hoping will be an amazing story......well done.
