Courting Guinevere
On a long weekend with nothing to do, a lonely researcher logged into a dating website, hoping to find at least a kindred soul or a knight in shining armor to end her boring evenings.
She logged into the system as “Guinevere” hoping Lancelot was out there. What she found instead was a man on a quest for love.
He opened the conversation with a simple question, “what would it take to win your heart?

After reading this book for the 2nd time in nearly 3 years, I cannot believe how I overlooked this one..
All I can say is that this was a delicious read..
Giving this one: 5 stars..

Although this book had moments of brilliance, for the most part, I didn't like it. That's not to say that it was horrible, but it just didn't work for me.
Giving this one: 2 stars.

Had she not pressed him about meeting his family, he would have wasted another five years of her life. He didn't deserve a happily ever after unless Shontae got one as well. Why would the author invest so much time in Shontae's story and allow her to be brutalized by Gawain's family like that? Calling her a hoodrat and making derogatory remarks. He didn't even defend her. In fact, he told her to sit there and made her take it. Then, the low-life pos had the nerve to dump her. Then, Olivia goes even further into the degradation of Shontae and has her ask him if he loved her. Nah, fam. I feel victimized. The only thing he did was reinforce her belief that she isn't good enough to be with a man of his classless status. This is no hero to root for. I'm sorry I couldn't leave a negative star review.

Mixed Feelings- BRAB ONLINE BOOK CLUB
I was anxious to start this series based on other books I've read by this author; I must say I was disappointed. I tried to fit this into a genre, and came up with Romantic Comedy; except it was not very funny.
The premise of the main male character, rich, handsome but went online to find a wife. The female character rich, beautiful, bright wanted the same thing, also sought an online relationship. The dialogue was over the top, redundant and just plain silly at times.
I wished that I could have liked it because I really like this author.

Halley aka Guinevere has been luckier in her professional life than in her romantic life until meets David. This is the way to not rush into meeting your love match. Side note: I kinda liked Shontae.

Enjoyable read
I absolutely love the premise of this book! The characters got to know each other in a fundamental way; emotionally. They meet and fall in love online without ever seeing each other, even fell in love BEFORE they knew they were different races. The topic is very relevant with online dating sites so prevalent these days so this piqued my interest alone. Adding the IMs was genius! I felt like a voyeur looking in on someone's personal messages.
The dialogue was witty and although it was online, the couple's instant connection could be felt just by their conversation alone. Kudos to the author for writing a very good love story!
Don't know if it was just my copy (not penalizing the author) but a couple of pages had the instant messages superimposed over the regular dialogue.
