More Than He Can Handle

I check this book out and was surprise and was hook from the start. Couldn't put this book down. Can't wait to see if the author writes more books like this one

I am hooked on Brenda Jackson and Beverly Jenkins's Romance novels. I always look for other authors, but never find a good one. Ms Hodges you are in the same category has they are. I loved the arrogances of Cleveland and the sercasum of Freddie. Do your thing. I really loved this book. I'm going to grab another one today.

Winfred "Freddie" Barker has enough on her plate without adding the stress of her best friends soon- to -be husband's best man. Freddie is trying to be civil with this man but he is the most arrogant man she has ever meet, but he is fine. Cleveland doesn't even want to be in the wedding. He would rather be at an Atlanta Falcons football game and he makes sure everyone there knows it. However, when he spots Freddie he thinks maybe it may have been worth missing the game if he can get her in his bed. When Cleveland and Freddie do end up in bed together after the wedding , things really get interesting. Freddie has a lot of baggage that she is dealing with and does not have time for playa playa Cleveland. At a chance meeting in her hometown of New Orleans, Cleveland is determined to change Freddie's image of him. More Than He Can Handle is a very appropriately titled book. The two main characters go at it from the beginning to the end. Whether is was verbal sparring or intense sexual chemistry that was causing them to banter. There was also several subplots that made this book interesting. Hodges did a great job intertwining them all which made for a wonderful read. Reviewed by Tenecia for Urban Reviews

Ms Hodges had done it again. I had a picture of Cleveland in my mind as some as he was introduced to the story. This book was so good and I highly recommend this book and all of Cheris Hodges books to all readers of edgie romance novels............can not what until the next book comes out.

This book is worth more than 5 stars. The character development and the storyline had me hooked from the first chapter. The main backdrop of the story takes place between New Orleans and Atlanta. The book was relevant and up to date with current events so I felt like I was in the middle of the story. The main characters Cleveland and Freddie (a woman) were so right for each other. They meet at Freddie's best friends wedding and the sparks fly. The story is about firefighter Cleveland falling in love with a very stubborn and strong willed Freddie. Freddie is trying to sort out her past relationship with her parents and is hesitant to allow Cleveland into her life. Cleveland does not give up. He puts his love and pride on the line by letting Freddie know that he is not going to give her up without a fight and trust me a fight is just what Freddie gives him. I respected his tenacity and fire for the one woman he knew he would always love. He held it down! The sex scenes were so hot, I needed to stop and get a cold glass of water. Kudos to the author for showing the vulnerability of the men and for showing men being willing to grieve and ask for help when needed. It endeared me to the story so much more. The rest of the secondary characters were great and made the storyline that much better. Her best friend Lillian worked my last nerve. She was far too opinionated. You will love Cleveland's mother. Buy this book you will not be disappointed.
