Darcey St. Claire is never surprised when a man is attracted to her. In fact, her style revolves around that assumption. From her short skirts to her thigh-high boots to her flirty laugh, Darcey flits along the edge of provocation to sell the overpriced services of the Hayden Court Hotel and afford her the spot as top Sales Manager. So the lustful looks Vincent Guidry cast in her direction didn’t faze her. It was the feeling of déjà vu creeping up her spine that made her run at breakneck speed away from the handsome former quarterback. And she wouldn’t have ever sought him out again. Not for herself. But there was someone else to consider…

3 Flames – Crackling Hot 3.5 Stars – Good
To be honest, the beginning of Déjà Vu threw me off a bit, jumping from two short paragraphs about someone then moving to another character quickly. That beginning might have best been written as a prologue instead of a chapter start with such a quick point of view change taking place.
2 1/2 stars - I thought this was a good follow-up to "Cheers". It's not a bad story it just needed some editing and I think Darcey's fear issue went on to long, making her come across as too self centered with everything going on with Vincent and her seeming to barely think on it. Though I will add that Ms. Vance did a respectable job of showing the nuisances of why her fear issue had been so devastating to her and why it was still crippling her.
Really Good read. I loved Darcey though she seemed flighty should have guessed it was because of heartbreak but the Vincent now he more than made up for Darcey. If all men were as perfect as Vincent. Sigh!
