Tropical Heat

Jada Gracen has been heart broken again, the first time was when she was starting college, Randell Larimore was a dream come true, until he left claiming to return to her and never does. Now a full grown woman, Jada experience heart break yet again when she finds out her fiance is fooling around with his ex. With the help of a friend Jada flies to St. Thomas where she runs into her first love... Randell. Will they be able to rekindle the flame or, will someone get burned?

Fantastic! As usual Loure' never fails to keep me interested. I loved this story of Randall and Jada so much I could not put it down. I felt like I was in St. Thomas. I wish I could read one of Loure's books every month just to get this wonderful spice I feel from reading her books. Reading this book was the best Christmas present I could have received. I can't wait to the next book. Keep them coming Loure'

I love how the author let Jada and Randall charcters developed. This was a beautiful love story. One on the best from BET books. Ms. Bussey I think I have read all of your books and love them all keep up the good work.

Jada Gracen's father abandoned her when she was eight. Her first, and only, true love abandoned her for his former lover. Her ex-husband abandoned her to indulge his selfishness. Her fiancé abandoned her for his ex-wife. And her job abandoned her by laying her off. In the words of a famous sailor, "She's had all shes can stand, and she can't stands no moe." Thirty-eight years old, Jada has closed her heart and refuses to be a victim of abandonment again. The perfect job opportunity has opened up for her in paradise-St. Thomas-and she intends on starting her life anew, man free. Randall Larimore can't believe the love of his life, Jada Gracen, has walked into his office for a job interview twenty years after he broke her heart. He knows they've been given a second chance, but she's been hurt too many times to acknowledge it. Combining patience, friendship and love, he intends on healing her broken heart and earning her trust again. TROPICAL HEAT is hot! Set on St. Thomas, Louré Bussey had me seeing, smelling and hearing the island. Watching the love blossom between the young Jada and Randall was truly beautiful. Once they were reunited, the transition from Jada refusing Randall's romantic advances to her pursuing their relationship could have used more development. Otherwise, TROPICAL HEAT kept me going. At first I wondered how Bussey would be able to redeem Randall after he left Jada when they were young, but she did a great job.
