Touch of Heaven

Raina & Warrick what can I say that has not already been stated, this was my first book by this author, and won't be my last. Raina has been in love with her best friends brother since she was ten although Warrick and his family were from the "wrong" side of track, Raina still loved him. Warrick sister goes to jail and everyone in his family including Warrick blame Raina, now 12 years later he is back, to even the score, however seing Raina after all these years changes something in him. Raina is a stong willed women, and Warrick is a self made man. Seeing each other again stir something in Warrick that he didn't know were there. This is really good story about teenage love, most adults always say you grow out of it, but not in this case. Very funny book, that every true romance reader will love. Kimmi

This book had it all mystery, love, hate, revenge, deception, revelations...from page one until the end I was hooked on a journey. I could not put this book down until I reached the end-literally. Warrick Mayne the millionaire engineer has ever reason he believes to "hate" Raina St. James who's testimony in court landed his baby sister in jail for 12 years. When his company decides to open a multiplex in the part of Houston where her spa resides he gets satisfaction in finally obtaining that revenge. Unfortunately he wasn't prepared for the grown up Raina. What I love about Maureen Smith's books is that even though they are romantic, she doesn't give you a clear cut romance story. She gives each character so many obstacles that your heart reaches out to both characters and you are so invested in their happiness that you literally can't walk away from her books until you are satisfied that the characters get to live "Happily Ever After." Her story telling is incredible. She really does her research and takes her time to develop the characters while remaining authentic to their careers. With all odds against them the scenes between Raina and Warrick were so steamy because of the tension she created between them that I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster with both characters. I highly recommmend this book and any book that Maureen Smith's name is on. She is truly a gifted writer who has yet to enjoy her full success yet.

Maureen Smith has done it again. This book really was "A Touch Touch of Heaven". I can't wait for Ms. Smith's next book.

Maureen Smith had solidified herself as one of my all time favorite authors. Touch of Heaven was well written and totally sexy. The chemistry between Raina and Warrick jumps off the page from the beginning. Keep up the great writing Maureen. Can't wait for your next book.

Touch of Heaven is a DELIGHTFUL and emotionally-charged read...and of course I simply LOVE the whole secret crush scenario...the characters are well-developed and MEMORABLE...the SIZZLING mutual attraction between Raina & Warrick practically leaps off the pages...and with the ENGAGING storyline, the SURPRISING twist and the well placed flashbacks into the characters past, it was quite easy to finish this novel in a couple of hours...Mrs. Smith crafts another CAPTIVATING romantic treat.
