Welcome to Ms. Littlejohn's story of Asian Spice, mixed with chocolate it's a very tasty treat. In this story we meet Taniea Onyx, a strong and powerful black woman who was making very strong strides up the corporate ladder in a man's world. And of course as we know strong women make men leery of having relationships with them or dating them. Her latest boyfriend acted the fool until I seriously wanted to slap him. But my girl headed off to her new promotion to a new city and met some Asian Spice, yum yum. Meeting Michael Shen was a good omen for Taniea, he treated her her with respect and when Taniea offered him some of her chocolate, he accepted her offer and asked for more.
I enjoyed reading this story. It made me want to read more about Taniea and Michael's relationship and how their cultural differences endured through the years.

The Lover and the Firefly
IR/Contemporary
Red Rose Publishing
The Lover and The Firefly is a compelling story of a man embroiled in a gang lifestyle. While he can be sweet and tender with his woman, he’s forced to exhibit a tough bravado to survive among his peers. When his gang leader and best friend, Rickey, is killed, Tony finds himself accused of trying to move into a leadership role. It falls to him to find the person responsible for Rickey’s death or face losing his own life. His continued insistence that he wants out to build a future with Shanita raises doubts about his sincerity among the gang. Tony’s forced to prove his innocence and his loyalty. He’s mortified when Shanita ends up being a pawn in the war between the two factions, but relieved to find some of his brothers still believe him and help save her life.
I found the gang lore realistic and the romance believable. Dana Littlejohn writes with emotion and depth, and I was pulled into the action along with the characters. Her ‘gangsta’ English lent a very credible feel to the story. I look forward to more of her stories and watching her blossom. I wouldn’t hesitate to read more of her work.

Book I-
Mikhail's Hunt
IR/Paranormal/Vampire
Red Rose Publishing
Is Mikhail vampire enough to take what he wants or will the man in him want more?
Mikhail Jamison is a vampire of The Dioni Clan, the last of their kind. He has been given the privilege to choose a wife for his services rendered during the werewolf wars. He has set his sight on a beautiful dancer, Christina Martinez. Upon their first meeting Christina has made it clear she was not interested in him. He has heard too much, about what having your own wife would be like and can’t let her get away. Realizing he has started off on the wrong foot with his chosen mate he knows he must now dig deep into the training of his elders to convince her that her first impression of him was wrong and it is her destiny to be with him. Whose destiny will it become the Vampire’s or his prey? Will his chosen mate show him there is more than just the dark side of life?
Dana Littlejohn has done an amazing job spinning this tale of need and desire. With the steam pouring off the pages, I couldn't put it down. I must commend Ms. Littlejohn on the direction she took, it was risky yet courageous. Mikhail's determination to win the woman is heartwarming. But I must say Christina's original reaction to him made me laugh. I am excited to see what comes next in the Dioni Chronicles, and I have no doubt that it will be as captivating as this one.

I just love the way Mikhail seduced Christina. He charmed his way into her heart and wanted her to come to him willingly and not by force. Mikhail is what every woman wants in a man and I would love to have him all to myself. This is a recommended read, Mikhail’s Hunt has all that I want in a book. Ms. Littlejohn charmed her way into my heart with Mikhail’s story and I can’t wait to read her next story.

Jonathan's Bite of The Apple
IR/Paranormal/Vampire
Red Rose Publishing
The time has come for Jonathan Destori to help rebuild his vampire clan by finding a mate. The worried warrior thinks he might fall short in finding a wife that will appreciate his sexual preferences. Jonathan’s clan brother tells him that New York is the perfect city to find anything under the sun, so Jonathan moves there in search of a wife.
A walk in Central Park gets interesting when Jonathan spies a woman bringing down a mugger. Seeing the real New York with his new friend Kenya as a tour guide opens the door to new possibilities for Jonathan. It’s a shame that Kenya’s not his type of woman. Or is she?
Sometimes people can’t see the forest for of the trees and that is exactly what happened to Jonathan. Kenya is a strong and beautiful woman with an open mind when it comes to sex. I nearly wanted to bash Jonathan when he failed to see the light bulb in the beginning. I almost felt he didn’t deserve such a wonderful woman because he was taking too long to realize her worth. Kenya is so sassy and surprising there is no way readers won’t love her. Littlejohn united a perfect pair and I would love to read more about their lives together after Jonathan’s Bite of the Apple.

Normally, I wouldn't be sorry to not have read the first story to a series but this time, I am definately going to get it. Jonathon's Bite of the Apple is an amazing read. I started reading it and could not stop until the story was finished. Jonathan was a beautiful soul (can you say that about a vampire?) and believable. I would have loved to see Kenya fleshed out some more because she is such a power woman and we need to see more of that in female characters in reading romance. Sexy, saucy and hot...what more can you ask for in a vampire read?

IR/Paranormal/Vampire

The Dioni Vampire Clan is still attempting to rebuild their numbers. The gifted ones of the clan are among the first to be allowed to find wives.
Sebastian Santos is not a social vampire, and would prefer his solitude over human company any day. The only time he has made it a point to interact with humans is when it is time for his meals. So being granted the right to a human wife is more of a burden than a blessing in Sebastian’s eyes.
Amber has never known what it’s like to have a real family. When Sebastian approaches Amber in hopes of finding a mate, she realizes that her deeply rooted dream could become her reality. Will Amber be able to overcome her fears and become the mate Sebastian wants and needs?
Sebastian’s Surrender is book three in the Dioni Chronicles series. Sebastian’s Surrender was a delightful book about dreams coming true and discovering your true desires. The characters read like the people next door. While Amber was raised in love, she never knew what it was like to have blood of her blood. Sebastian has been a recluse most of his life but when he touches Amber he knows he never wants to be alone again. Readers of the genre as well as those who love this series will find Sebastian’s Surrender an enjoyable read.

Sebastian’s Surrender gave me another taste of Dana Littlejohn’s wonderful writing style. Sebastian made a quick change the second he became aware of Amber and that made him seem softer. I enjoyed the fact that Amber was hesitant about getting involved with Sebastian, but I wish her turmoil had dragged on a bit longer. If you enjoyed the first two books of the series, then this one is a must read.

Detective Gerald Dixon is recuperating in Louisiana from a bad wound he suffered in the line of duty. He is tired, hurt and confused about his future life. Will he give up and retire as requested? Then on a one-day trip to New Orleans his life took a sudden turn. He found an unbelievable request to help a ghost free herself form a voo-doo spell. Gerald did not believe in ghosts. Only a person who did not beleive in voo-doo could help break the spell. Gerald definitely did not believe in voo-doo. To help the ghost Margarita he had to perform a mental challenge, a physical challenge and a challenge that would require him to push his own beliefs to a whole new level.
Ms. Dana Littlejohn has created a first class fantasy story with a touch of erotic sex and a nice romantic ending. The storyline is creative and well thought out. I was captured with how Gerald was able to move his life from recuperation pain to one that will give him the happiness he didn’t have and never new he needed. The ghost Margarita is a wonderful character that spiced up Gerald’s life and made me want to see her be released from the spell that was cast over her many years ago. The story flowed at just the right pace for an easy reading in one sitting. The erotic sex scene helped to make the decision by Gerald to help Margarita believable. I found the sex scene well written, but not as sizzling as I wanted. The story builds to a nice ending that lead me to visualize a romantic adventure beginning for Gerald and Margarita. I recommend this book to readers that like fantasy stories with a little erotic twist and a nice romantic ending.

The Lover's Brew

Summer Washington can't believe her boss is forcing her to attend a Valentine's Day party for work. Since Summer has no current relationship whatsoever she is not big on attending the party that is especially made for lovers. But, in order to appease her boss, Summer reluctantly makes her way to the party. As soon as she arrives at the party Summer is approached by a handsome stranger that immediately set her soul on fire. He introduces himself as Peter Cook. Before she knows it Summer is swept off her feet by Peter's captivating magnetism...and the bartender's Lover's Brew mix doesn't help help matters. After spending a wonderful, lustful with Peter in his room, Summer became worried that she might lose her job because of ignoring her duties. Will he be a forgiving man, and more importantly will Peter want more than a one-night stand?
Lover's Brew is a charming, romantic story where two people meet and instant attraction sparks hotly between them regardless of their racial differences.The sexual chemisrty between Summer and Peter developed at a sudden, explosive and hot pace. This beguiling plot moved a such a swift pace, so much so, that I was able to complete this story in one short setting. With Valentine's Day as the theme for Lover's Brew, you can bet your bottom dollar that you are in for a sweet, affectionate, romantic escapade with an exciting couple that will leave you breathless with flaming desire. I took great pleasure in reading Lover's Brew and I am sure you will enjoy it also.

Death, Drama, Divorce, oh my!
Cairo Ivory is a lawyer who had that and so much more to deal with in the course of a busy work week at the law offices of Berkeley, Townsend and Franklin. She has spent the last year doing divorce cases and was beginning to think that relationships just didn't last anymore. In the middle of the drama, death and divorces she met Jose Sanchez. He was sweet, gallant, respectful and sexy without even knowing it. In the middle of all the craziness in her life, could he be the one to remind her that relationships can last forever?
Dana Littlejohn’s flare for interesting names for her characters is shown in The Sun Rose Over Cairo. The main female, Cairo Ivory, is a bold breath of fresh air. She is independent, strong, honest and is in no way a damsel in distress. Jose Sanchez brings sexy to a whole new level and is a welcomed change from your typical bitter male. Not only that, but Mr. Sanchez is sensual and knows just how to kiss a lady. I found it cute the way he trips over his words, feelings and actions because he hadn’t been in the dating game for so long.
The friendships that are forged in this story are breathtakingly genuine in their perfection and are friendships that every one of us would love in our lives.
The Sun Rose Over Cairo has a plot that is rich with thorough writing and a surprise at every turn. One surprise will leave you giggling and breathless.
It is a wonderful experience and is highly recommended with four roses

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.

I just love the way Mikhail seduced Christina. He charmed his way into her heart and wanted her to come to him willingly and not by force. Mikhail is what every woman wants in a man and I would love to have him all to myself. This is a recommended read, Mikhail’s Hunt has all that I want in a book. Ms. Littlejohn charmed her way into my heart with Mikhail’s story and I can’t wait to read her next story.

Jonathan's Bite of The Apple
IR/Paranormal/Vampire
Red Rose Publishing
The time has come for Jonathan Destori to help rebuild his vampire clan by finding a mate. The worried warrior thinks he might fall short in finding a wife that will appreciate his sexual preferences. Jonathan’s clan brother tells him that New York is the perfect city to find anything under the sun, so Jonathan moves there in search of a wife.
A walk in Central Park gets interesting when Jonathan spies a woman bringing down a mugger. Seeing the real New York with his new friend Kenya as a tour guide opens the door to new possibilities for Jonathan. It’s a shame that Kenya’s not his type of woman. Or is she?
Sometimes people can’t see the forest for of the trees and that is exactly what happened to Jonathan. Kenya is a strong and beautiful woman with an open mind when it comes to sex. I nearly wanted to bash Jonathan when he failed to see the light bulb in the beginning. I almost felt he didn’t deserve such a wonderful woman because he was taking too long to realize her worth. Kenya is so sassy and surprising there is no way readers won’t love her. Littlejohn united a perfect pair and I would love to read more about their lives together after Jonathan’s Bite of the Apple.

Normally, I wouldn't be sorry to not have read the first story to a series but this time, I am definately going to get it. Jonathon's Bite of the Apple is an amazing read. I started reading it and could not stop until the story was finished. Jonathan was a beautiful soul (can you say that about a vampire?) and believable. I would have loved to see Kenya fleshed out some more because she is such a power woman and we need to see more of that in female characters in reading romance. Sexy, saucy and hot...what more can you ask for in a vampire read?

The Dioni Vampire Clan is still attempting to rebuild their numbers. The gifted ones of the clan are among the first to be allowed to find wives.
Sebastian Santos is not a social vampire, and would prefer his solitude over human company any day. The only time he has made it a point to interact with humans is when it is time for his meals. So being granted the right to a human wife is more of a burden than a blessing in Sebastian’s eyes.
Amber has never known what it’s like to have a real family. When Sebastian approaches Amber in hopes of finding a mate, she realizes that her deeply rooted dream could become her reality. Will Amber be able to overcome her fears and become the mate Sebastian wants and needs?

Sebastian’s Surrender gave me another taste of Dana Littlejohn’s wonderful writing style. Sebastian made a quick change the second he became aware of Amber and that made him seem softer.

Detective Gerald Dixon is recuperating in Louisiana from a bad wound he suffered in the line of duty. He is tired, hurt and confused about his future life. Will he give up and retire as requested? Then on a one-day trip to New Orleans his life took a sudden turn. He found an unbelievable request to help a ghost free herself form a voo-doo spell. Gerald did not believe in ghosts. Only a person who did not beleive in voo-doo could help break the spell. Gerald definitely did not believe in voo-doo. To help the ghost Margarita he had to perform a mental challenge, a physical challenge and a challenge that would require him to push his own beliefs to a whole new level.
Ms. Dana Littlejohn has created a first class fantasy story with a touch of erotic sex and a nice romantic ending. The storyline is creative and well thought out. I was captured with how Gerald was able to move his life from recuperation pain to one that will give him the happiness he didn’t have and never new he needed. The ghost Margarita is a wonderful character that spiced up Gerald’s life and made me want to see her be released from the spell that was cast over her many years ago. The story flowed at just the right pace for an easy reading in one sitting. The erotic sex scene helped to make the decision by Gerald to help Margarita believable. I found the sex scene well written, but not as sizzling as I wanted. The story builds to a nice ending that lead me to visualize a romantic adventure beginning for Gerald and Margarita. I recommend this book to readers that like fantasy stories with a little erotic twist and a nice romantic ending.

The Lover's Brew

IR/Contemporary
Summer Washington can't believe her boss is forcing her to attend a Valentine's Day party for work. Since Summer has no current relationship whatsoever she is not big on attending the party that is especially made for lovers. But, in order to appease her boss, Summer reluctantly makes her way to the party. As soon as she arrives at the party Summer is approached by a handsome stranger that immediately set her soul on fire. He introduces himself as Peter Cook. Before she knows it Summer is swept off her feet by Peter's captivating magnetism...and the bartender's Lover's Brew mix doesn't help help matters. After spending a wonderful, lustful with Peter in his room, Summer became worried that she might lose her job because of ignoring her duties. Will he be a forgiving man, and more importantly will Peter want more than a one-night stand?
Lover's Brew is a charming, romantic story where two people meet and instant attraction sparks hotly between them regardless of their racial differences.The sexual chemisrty between Summer and Peter developed at a sudden, explosive and hot pace. This beguiling plot moved a such a swift pace, so much so, that I was able to complete this story in one short setting. With Valentine's Day as the theme for Lover's Brew, you can bet your bottom dollar that you are in for a sweet, affectionate, romantic escapade with an exciting couple that will leave you breathless with flaming desire. I took great pleasure in reading Lover's Brew and I am sure you will enjoy it also.

The sun rose over Cairo

IR/Contemporary
Death, Drama, Divorce, oh my!
Cairo Ivory is a lawyer who had that and so much more to deal with in the course of a busy work week at the law offices of Berkeley, Townsend and Franklin. She has spent the last year doing divorce cases and was beginning to think that relationships just didn't last anymore. In the middle of the drama, death and divorces she met Jose Sanchez. He was sweet, gallant, respectful and sexy without even knowing it. In the middle of all the craziness in her life, could he be the one to remind her that relationships can last forever?
Dana Littlejohn’s flare for interesting names for her characters is shown in The Sun Rose Over Cairo. The main female, Cairo Ivory, is a bold breath of fresh air. She is independent, strong, honest and is in no way a damsel in distress. Jose Sanchez brings sexy to a whole new level and is a welcomed change from your typical bitter male. Not only that, but Mr. Sanchez is sensual and knows just how to kiss a lady. I found it cute the way he trips over his words, feelings and actions because he hadn’t been in the dating game for so long.
The friendships that are forged in this story are breathtakingly genuine in their perfection and are friendships that every one of us would love in our lives.
The Sun Rose Over Cairo has a plot that is rich with thorough writing and a surprise at every turn. One surprise will leave you giggling and breathless.
It is a wonderful experience and is highly recommended with four roses

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.

The Lover and The Firefly is a compelling story of a man embroiled in a gang lifestyle. While he can be sweet and tender with his woman, he’s forced to exhibit a tough bravado to survive among his peers. When his gang leader and best friend, Rickey, is killed, Tony finds himself accused of trying to move into a leadership role. It falls to him to find the person responsible for Rickey’s death or face losing his own life. His continued insistence that he wants out to build a future with Shanita raises doubts about his sincerity among the gang. Tony’s forced to prove his innocence and his loyalty. He’s mortified when Shanita ends up being a pawn in the war between the two factions, but relieved to find some of his brothers still believe him and help save her life.
I found the gang lore realistic and the romance believable. Dana Littlejohn writes with emotion and depth, and I was pulled into the action along with the characters. Her ‘gangsta’ English lent a very credible feel to the story. I look forward to more of her stories and watching her blossom. I wouldn’t hesitate to read more of her work.

The Lover's Brew
Amira Press
IR/Contemporary
Summer Washington can't believe her boss is forcing her to attend a Valentine's Day party for work. Since Summer has no current relationship whatsoever she is not big on attending the party that is especially made for lovers. But, in order to appease her boss, Summer reluctantly makes her way to the party. As soon as she arrives at the party Summer is approached by a handsome stranger that immediately set her soul on fire. He introduces himself as Peter Cook. Before she knows it Summer is swept off her feet by Peter's captivating magnetism...and the bartender's Lover's Brew mix doesn't help help matters. After spending a wonderful, lustful with Peter in his room, Summer became worried that she might lose her job because of ignoring her duties. Will he be a forgiving man, and more importantly will Peter want more than a one-night stand?
Lover's Brew is a charming, romantic story where two people meet and instant attraction sparks hotly between them regardless of their racial differences.The sexual chemisrty between Summer and Peter developed at a sudden, explosive and hot pace. This beguiling plot moved a such a swift pace, so much so, that I was able to complete this story in one short setting. With Valentine's Day as the theme for Lover's Brew, you can bet your bottom dollar that you are in for a sweet, affectionate, romantic escapade with an exciting couple that will leave you breathless with flaming desire. I took great pleasure in reading Lover's Brew and I am sure you will enjoy it also.

Lover's Brew is a sweet and remarkable Valentine's story. Dana Littlejohn has written the perfect story about love at first sight. I was a little disappointed when this book ended because it was such a wonderful story.

The sun rose over Cairo
Amira Press
IR/Contemporary
Death, Drama, Divorce, oh my!
Cairo Ivory is a lawyer who had that and so much more to deal with in the course of a busy work week at the law offices of Berkeley, Townsend and Franklin. She has spent the last year doing divorce cases and was beginning to think that relationships just didn't last anymore. In the middle of the drama, death and divorces she met Jose Sanchez. He was sweet, gallant, respectful and sexy without even knowing it. In the middle of all the craziness in her life, could he be the one to remind her that relationships can last forever?
Dana Littlejohn’s flare for interesting names for her characters is shown in The Sun Rose Over Cairo. The main female, Cairo Ivory, is a bold breath of fresh air. She is independent, strong, honest and is in no way a damsel in distress. Jose Sanchez brings sexy to a whole new level and is a welcomed change from your typical bitter male. Not only that, but Mr. Sanchez is sensual and knows just how to kiss a lady. I found it cute the way he trips over his words, feelings and actions because he hadn’t been in the dating game for so long.
The friendships that are forged in this story are breathtakingly genuine in their perfection and are friendships that every one of us would love in our lives.
The Sun Rose Over Cairo has a plot that is rich with thorough writing and a surprise at every turn. One surprise will leave you giggling and breathless.
It is a wonderful experience and is highly recommended with four roses

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.

Jonathan's Bite of The Apple
IR/Paranormal/Vampire
Red Rose Publishing
The time has come for Jonathan Destori to help rebuild his vampire clan by finding a mate. The worried warrior thinks he might fall short in finding a wife that will appreciate his sexual preferences. Jonathan’s clan brother tells him that New York is the perfect city to find anything under the sun, so Jonathan moves there in search of a wife.
A walk in Central Park gets interesting when Jonathan spies a woman bringing down a mugger. Seeing the real New York with his new friend Kenya as a tour guide opens the door to new possibilities for Jonathan. It’s a shame that Kenya’s not his type of woman. Or is she?
Sometimes people can’t see the forest for of the trees and that is exactly what happened to Jonathan. Kenya is a strong and beautiful woman with an open mind when it comes to sex. I nearly wanted to bash Jonathan when he failed to see the light bulb in the beginning. I almost felt he didn’t deserve such a wonderful woman because he was taking too long to realize her worth. Kenya is so sassy and surprising there is no way readers won’t love her. Littlejohn united a perfect pair and I would love to read more about their lives together after Jonathan’s Bite of the Apple.

Normally, I wouldn't be sorry to not have read the first story to a series but this time, I am definately going to get it. Jonathon's Bite of the Apple is an amazing read. I started reading it and could not stop until the story was finished. Jonathan was a beautiful soul (can you say that about a vampire?) and believable. I would have loved to see Kenya fleshed out some more because she is such a power woman and we need to see more of that in female characters in reading romance. Sexy, saucy and hot...what more can you ask for in a vampire read?

Sebastian Santos is not a social vampire, and would prefer his solitude over human company any day. The only time he has made it a point to interact with humans is when it is time for his meals. So being granted the right to a human wife is more of a burden than a blessing in Sebastian’s eyes.

Detective Gerald Dixon is recuperating in Louisiana from a bad wound he suffered in the line of duty. He is tired, hurt and confused about his future life. Will he give up and retire as requested? Then on a one-day trip to New Orleans his life took a sudden turn. He found an unbelievable request to help a ghost free herself form a voo-doo spell. Gerald did not believe in ghosts. Only a person who did not beleive in voo-doo could help break the spell. Gerald definitely did not believe in voo-doo. To help the ghost Margarita he had to perform a mental challenge, a physical challenge and a challenge that would require him to push his own beliefs to a whole new level.
Ms. Dana Littlejohn has created a first class fantasy story with a touch of erotic sex and a nice romantic ending. The storyline is creative and well thought out. I was captured with how Gerald was able to move his life from recuperation pain to one that will give him the happiness he didn’t have and never new he needed. The ghost Margarita is a wonderful character that spiced up Gerald’s life and made me want to see her be released from the spell that was cast over her many years ago. The story flowed at just the right pace for an easy reading in one sitting. The erotic sex scene helped to make the decision by Gerald to help Margarita believable.

The friendships that are forged in this story are breathtakingly genuine in their perfection and are friendships that every one of us would love in our lives.
The Sun Rose Over Cairo has a plot that is rich with thorough writing and a surprise at every turn. One surprise will leave you giggling and breathless.
It is a wonderful experience and is highly recommended with four roses

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.

Death, Drama, Divorce, oh my!
Cairo Ivory is a lawyer who had that and so much more to deal with in the course of a busy work week at the law offices of Berkeley, Townsend and Franklin. She has spent the last year doing divorce cases and was beginning to think that relationships just didn't last anymore. In the middle of the drama, death and divorces she met Jose Sanchez. He was sweet, gallant, respectful and sexy without even knowing it. In the middle of all the craziness in her life, could he be the one to remind her that relationships can last forever?
Dana Littlejohn’s flare for interesting names for her characters is shown in The Sun Rose Over Cairo. The main female, Cairo Ivory, is a bold breath of fresh air. She is independent, strong, honest and is in no way a damsel in distress. Jose Sanchez brings sexy to a whole new level and is a welcomed change from your typical bitter male. Not only that, but Mr. Sanchez is sensual and knows just how to kiss a lady. I found it cute the way he trips over his words, feelings and actions because he hadn’t been in the dating game for so long.
The friendships that are forged in this story are breathtakingly genuine in their perfection and are friendships that every one of us would love in our lives. The Sun Rose Over Cairo has a plot that is rich with thorough writing and a surprise at every turn. One surprise will leave you giggling and breathless.
