<p>2010 has turned into one wild and crazy year so far.  I piled a lot of work on my plate and even though some things went wrong an awful lot of things have gone right.  So hugs and apologies to the editors wanting to pull their hair out working with me this year.  Besides that I have a lot of wonderful projects coming out.  Some of you have already written about how much you enjoyed my June release, Heart&#8217;s Secret and my July release Body Heat.  I have to tell you that absolutely I had fun writing these books.  Also in May I did something that I haven&#8217;t done in over a decade-took a REAL vacation.  I went to Paris&#8211;the ultimate destination for true romantics.  And I have to tell you.  I&#8217;ve started a save for Paris fund.  I have to go back and either live there peremantely or stay a whole year.  I loved it that much and can&#8217;t stop dreaming about returning.  Don&#8217;t worry-as long as I have a laptop I&#8217;ll continue to spin all these fabulous tales crowding my head.</p>

Heartbreaker (Anthology) &#8211;<br />
Available January 26, 2010! &#8211;<br />
5 out of 5 books &#8211; </p>
<p>De&#8217;nesha Diamond presents the divine Delvon Jackson that is a pure bred lover man! Thriving off of challenges, he becomes mesmerized with the beautiful, wealthy, and inaccessible Sabrina Walker. The only thing he has to offer Sabrina is great sex and his unconditional love. But is that really enough? What is he willing to do to have her for his very own? Is she all that he thinks she is, or is his gullible nature allowing him to be reeled into a web of deceit?</p>
<p>Erick S. Gray introduces man-eater Cha who shows no mercy as she devours men&#8217;s hearts and their money for her private pleasures. She does not discriminate as she spreads her love with one exception…no attachments, just hard core sex and of course cash or credit card, please. Cha happens upon someone from her past that turned her heart into stone and revenge has never been so sweet. Will she be able to fulfill this final fantasy? Is she who she presents herself to be? What other secrets does she harbor? Will the finale be mastered by her cunning female wiles or her true gangsta mentality?</p>
<p>Nichelle Walker provides us with Kandy, an aggressive diva that has lived on both sides of the coin and is determined that she&#8217;s going to remain on the &#8220;heads up&#8221; side. She originates The Kandy Girlz, a crew of beautiful, wanton women that are willing to satisfy sexual fantasies of the rich and famous for a price. Kandy learns the game early when she loses her parents, their money and their security to one of life&#8217;s cruelest blows. She finds stability in the use of her body to manipulate men and outwits them 90 to nothing. Will Kandy continue to reap the benefits without recourse? Or will she fall victim to the game that she thought she had mastered? </p>
<p>Heartbreaker is penned by three amazing authors that have contributed to one of the best anthologies that I have read in a very long time. The three stories exemplified their natural skills as they enthrall the reader with captivating characters that stay true to form! Each story reeks of intrigue, hot sex scenes, excellent word play, and great character development. Each conclusion is unique, although De&#8217;nesha and Erick&#8217;s are poetically justified! Kudos to all three contributors! Magnificente!!!</p>

Pick of the Month</p>
<p>Diamond, De’nesha &#038; others. Heartbreaker. Dafina: Kensington. Feb. 2010. 320p. ISBN 978-0-7582-4663-9. pap. $15. F<br />
Each of these three novellas showcases a sassy character who knows how the game is played: sex is better if done more than once a day, and naked romps become nuclear hot. Authentic street slang accent these tales of love gone wrong. In Slippin’, Diamond’s protagonist, Delvon, is dragged into a precinct “lookin’ busted and disgusted.” Nichelle Walker’s Kandy Girlz shows her main girl get slapped down with the insult, “snakes only slither for so long before they get stomped on.” Cha, in Erick S. Gray’s Put ‘em in Their Place, knows her hot body will pull in at least $1500 on a slow night at the strip club. All these ladies are true heartbreakers who also have a knack for breaking a man’s wallet.<br />
Verdict The shorter format is perfect for the brisk pace of these stories and their Twilight Zone–like twist endings. Sex is sweaty, relationships are intense, everyone is insatiable, and the characters know sex can lead to money, power, and respect. Sure to be in demand by the authors’ fans.</p>
