The Diva Diaries

Beginning to end, the book was great, as was the passionate scene in the stormy hills. Now that was lovely! Many scences were beautiful, naturistic, emotional. The plot was of the heroine's grandmother dying and asking her to find her old desk in which she tucked away a diary of intimate experiences in her youth and some erotic jewlry. These could ruin the families of the fine men mentioned in the diary. So the understanding heroine, Jenna, tracks down the auctioned desk, traveling across the country to search through it for the items. That's when she meets the hero, and must keep from him the fact that she's snooping in what's now "his" desk. I read this with alot of suppressed love boiling over in my heart at the time, so everytime I came across affection and a love connection expressed in this book (which was often and in a convincing way) I cried a little. The part where Jenna plays in concert was almost amazing because of the way the author described the melodies emanating from the violin and affecting Sam. Sam was very encouraging, supportive, respectful, without being mushy - and she was all the same to him. They amazed eachother with their strong solitary selves, especially with the things they had in common they never expected. They are different, yet so alike. They connect from the start, the road to their love not really being bumpy at all, because it was filled with mature understanding, observation, respect. It was pure and real. No games, no pains. I like that very much in a book and relationship. To me, it's one sweet little keeper, due to high regard and affection I harbor for it's realism. I can't forget it and look forward to reading it again. It was very sexy, the scenes in the barn. There was even a very surprising, yet sad and amazing, scene about a beloved cow. Oh, it was a funny book too! And the storms were wonderful, as were the animals mentioned. There was much in it for me to like, so I'm grateful to have read it. It was my second Blaze ever. Please give this book a try.

As she lies dying, Jenna Sinclair's grandmother asks that her lost diary and erotic jewelry be reclaimed. Her grandmother had sought passion in the arms of many men, and explains that for the diary to surface now would cause harm to important families. Jenna has possession of one of the diaries, and the other lies concealed in a desk that had been sold to rancher Sam Winchester. Little does Jenna suspect her own unawakened passion. She pours her gifts into her music, having become a concert violinist. So Jenna arranges to help in Sam's fund raising project for a local hospital in return for experiencing ranching first hand for two weeks. She does not dare risk Sam discovering her true reasons for being at his ranch. But from their first encounter, Jenna's desires become a powerful motivation to discover far more than the hidden diary. Author Karen Anders pens a sensual treat with THE DIVA DIARIES. The glimpses into the diaries are sensual and intriguing, providing a powerful backdrop to newly awakened passion.

The resulting tale proves Anders's gift for vividly realizing a fun, sensual tale with memorable characters and interesting toys that lend the novel a breathtaking intensity. THE DIVA DIARIES come highly recommended.
