Simply Wonderful

This was one of Brenda's best books. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and cannot wait until her next book arrives.

I wish I could give it more stars!!!

This story takes us to the lives of Morgan Steele and the love of his life and soon to be wife Ms. Lena Spears. Lena definitely kept him on his toes on his quest to make her totally his. She just for some reason could not believe that he wanted her for her. She may not of grown up with "money" but she was beautiful in mind , body and spirit. This is a wonderful love story and I commend Mrs Jackson for telling the world this excellent story. Keep up the good work! I will always be a supporter of you anytime you pick up your pen!!!!

Another Great Story

I enjoyed Beyond Temptation as I have all of Ms Jackson's books(and I have 38 out of the 40 that she has written-not including the anthologies).I waited so long for Lena and Morgan's story, and she did not disappoint. It was a great book!!

"Man of Steele -- Heart of Love"

"Beyond Temptation" is wonderful! Ms. Jackson continues to write about heartfelt love and everyday life situations. Morgan Steele is a man who can win my heart any day. He is a true brother after the woman he loves. Lena is a Sister with fears, but has great family values, something that can be admired in anyone. It is indeed a blessing to grow old and a much greater blessing to have a parent, especially a mother, to love and care for her in her elderly years. I commend Lena for commitment to her mother, Ms. Odessa Spears. However, there are some men out there, who also values the love of a mother's love. Girl, when you find that man -- one like Morgan, who did not want Lena to sacrifice her time with Ms. Odessa or put her mother away on the back shelf, then you have found yourself a good, unselfish, loving man. I say, keep him. Morgan truly loved Lena, for herself, for your love and devotion. Lena could not believe that a man would love her, a full figured woman, but Lena, must realize that all men do not want what some people term as "model material," "pencil thin," or "a skinny woman." Some men want somebody they can hold on to, someone that they are not afraid of will "fracture" or "break" at the least bit of a downright, bear hug. Some men want "meat on the bones" and not just the "gristle" or cartilage. Lena's character was full-figured, but she was neat, a great dresser, and a clean sister and most of all, Morgan Steele loved her. Ms. Jackson has given us another Steele to love and let us know there are more to come. I think Vanessa Steele's story with Morgan's friend, Cameron Cody is next. I hope so. Vanessa appears to be a tough cookie, but I think when it comes to Cameron, Vanessa will start to crumble. Her feelings for Cameron are hidden, but seems to want to peep out in the open. I am definitely looking for Vanessa's story and I am sure the sparks will fly and the embers will light up. Good writing, Ms. Jackson.

WOW!!!!

The latest addition to Jackson's "Forged of Steele" Saga is OUTSTANDING!!!! Lena Spears is very content with her life as a real estate agent and cretaker of her Mom. Yet, she doesn't understand why Morgan Steele, super-sexy milliaonaire, continues to ask her out on dates. She figures it only for the sex. Morgan, however, sees something uniquely different in Lena and has determined that she is his Perfect Mate. So he sets a plan in motion- first to gain her trust and then her hand in marriage. This book has definately made me a Jackson fan for forever. The story was believeable, loving, warm and encouraged you to read until the end. Lena was an average sister who expressed many fears and problems that many are currently facing, who are caretakers of elderly parents. Morgan's character may have been rich but he was a brother out to win the heart of his woman. (MINE TOO!!) Jackson is a true ROMANTIC... You will love this story. Peace and Blesssings !!!!
