The Last Dance

I read this book in one day. It was such a wonderful book. It had a nice mixture of romance, with mystery. Shari Jarrod tries to avoid love at all cost. Emmanuel Jones is a playa trying to change his ways. A chance auction pairs the two on a date. Emmanuel falls for Shari, but they both try hard to keep each other at arms distance. In the end Emmanuel relizes how empty his life will be without Shari in it. Maybe in the next book we will be invited to the wedding? Fantastic book. Candice is one of my favorite author's and once again she did not disappoint.

A quick,short wonderful love story with a murder thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat. Having bee raped s few years earlier Shari Jarrod has no place in her her life for love or a man. Especially the handsome bachelor Emmanuel Jones, who is known to be the town player. When her friend bid on and win a date with this player in her name she has no choice but to go on a date with him. All he wants to do is get this date over with after all she is a "geek". They see more in each other tthan the geek and player. Together they embark on dating to see if what they feel is real.

On his knee in front of the whole town he tell her he is sorry , that he loves her and ask will you marry me? Yes. A good little book for Sunday evening after church.

This book is a must read. Candice Poarch expertly combined a beautiful love story with a murder mystery. There is a cast of characters but all the pieces come together nicely. It was hard to put the book down. You never know where you may find love.

Candice Poarch's latest book is about a playa who is trying to change his ways and woman trying to return to her old self. Detective Emmanuel Jones was known as Nottoway's biggest player. He has dated just about all the available single women there, so when he is persuaded to be auction off for charity he was hoping to be a big hit. But he was not prepared to hear that Shari Jarrod won the date. Shari is known in Nottoway as the computer genious of Blake Industries. She did not appreciate her sister involvement in her life.When Emmanuel and Shari go on their benefit date they are surprised that they have feelings for each other. Shari has survived a terrible incident in her life, so she is not sure that she wants to get involved with Emmanuel. But Emmanuel is determine to show her the way she is supposed to be treated.This was a good book. The relationship of Emmanuel and Shari blossomed at a good pace. Also the murder mystery did not take away from the couples relationship.

"When the mighty fall they fall mighty hard" and so went the mighty bachelor Emmanuel Jones, police detective and longtime playboy for the workaholic,computer whiz Shari Jarrod.Shari and Emmanuel are set up for a dream date in the name of charity by their sisters. Shari is not happy with the publicity that follows as well as Emmanuel's womanizing reputation, but her own secret attraction makes her follow through. Emmanuel, always thought Shari appeared plain, almost purposely so, making the detective in him wonder what could cause a young women to detract from herself to that extent. Shari was anything but plain for their date, propelling Emmanuel's interest all the more.Emmanuel found his peace too quiet without Shari in his life and she found the kind of understanding, patience and caring she needed in him. I also enjoyed the murder mystery that kept me guessing until the end, the young love developing will be good for other books, married couples that are still in love, a strong family bond, I hope Walter eventually finds that one true love, he deserves it.
