When I First Saw You
When literary agent Chante Campbell, her heart filled with poetry and her life empty of romance, gets an all-expense paid vacation for her birthday, she never expects to spend it with her fiance--since she doesn't know she has one. As it turns out, her grandfather impersonated Chante on an Internet dating site, accepted a marriage proposal, and arranged a romantic rendezvous.
Thank goodness Chante's son spills the beans, and Chante is headed to Philadelphia to send the online Romeo back to his computer. Then Chante meets Dr. Antonio Marks--and like a lightning strike in a summer storm, she's hit by blazing attraction. She should tell this gorgeous widower and pediatrician the truth. But Chante fears that even if he overlooks the matchmaking mishap, he'll never forgive the bigger lie she's hiding.
Trapped by deception, Chante is desperately seeking a solution--and life is about to send one that will test the awesome power of love.

Who's next?
A few grammatical errors but don't take away from the story. Pops meant well when it came to Chante. But he just went by it the wrong way. Antonio was correct, Chante should have been honest from the beginning. Her ex is a wack job. I would have never thought he would stoop so low in the end to get Chante's attention. I hope Dorian can handle himself behind bars. 😝
Please let Martin story be next. So dying to read his story.

A love you can trust
Chante Campbell is the second Campbell to fall in love and Angie Daniels doesn’t disappoint. Chante is a lovely woman and mother who’s been hurt by love but the kind, gentle, and handsome doctor is her second chance at love. Chante’s grandfather gets the ball rolling by reaching out to Antonio who’s also looking for someone to love.
A great read and I’ll be looking for Marty’s story.
Highly recommend

when I first saw you
Another good read from MS. Daniel’s, Tony and Chan was love out of the comedies. The fact that a proposal was done over the internet was strange. I have heard of people falling in love over the computer, but never could see how it’s done. Words are the key factor in that. It was good the results can with good people.

A SACRED Love
A love like Antonio and Change is unforgettable. I loved the plot, romance, and all the familiar characters. Dorian was a mental case, but I am glad that things worked out for the best for Chante and Devon. Another great novel for Angie Daniels.

I found the lies to be one that could have and should have been resolve at the initial meeting. But I guess that would not have made for a very exciting or interesting courtship or break up and reunion. Ok, I guess. I do expect more from this author. She does really good work. I was not as pleased as I have been with other books.

Great love story between Chante and Antonio.
Waiting patiently for Martin And Candace and Andrea and Dame.
Can one truly find love on the internet. Of course it has been allegedly proven many time. First Pops and Mildred then Chante grand daughter of Pops and Antonio.

I wasn't impressed with the book. I couldn't really connect to the characters or their stories. While the premise could be true, I don't think it was put together well.
