Customer Reviews

Communication: Love's enhancer...

As "Jolie's Surrender" will confirm: Relationships require open and frequent communication. It saves a lot of time and heartache. Lack of communication, lost letters, foolish goodbyes and mistrust were the components that kept Jolie Smith and her soul mate, former NBA star, Alvin Guillory estranged for more than 15 years. Persistence, forgiveness and accountability for one's actions would offer them another chance at happiness and love. Mrs. Arnold is so on point! I enjoyed the basketball backdrop, the character development (Ms. Ethel, the elderly neighbor had so much wisdom!) and most importantly the romantic and passionate love scenes. The heat between Alvin and Jolie practically scorched the pages! Great book.

Jolie's Surrender

I loved this book. I was impressed with Jolie's strength and the way she goton with her life despite the fact she lost Alvin when he broke up with her.Jolie had a lot of stress and trauma to deal with at a young andimpressionable age. She seemed to have had some issues with trust butresolved those issues. I particularly like the fact that Jolie wasnon-judgemental towards her young brother and was so supportive of him andhis girlfriend. Alvin is a guy who despite the macho world of professionalsports, showed a wonderful sensitive side towards everyone. Youngsters,friends and family alike. A number of the problems Jolie and Alvin facedcame from outside forces, out of their control, but despite these, bothended together happily ever after. A great plus for readers who lovebasketball as well as a terrific romance story!

Very well done

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the romantic tension bewteen the 2 main characters. It's a great story about love lost through miscommunication, and how fate eventually brings you back to the one you love. Ms. Martin-Arnold knows how to write good romance!!

I want more of Jolie's rolling thunder!

I read Jolie's Surrender from end to end in two days. It's a real page turner. I'm a male reviewer. This novel has a great collection of real life value nuggets sprinkled throughout it. The love scenes are hot (WARNING: blazin' hot). The passion was thunderous in the love scene after Jolie's near-death experience (whew...where's the fan!). The story also reinforces the differences between the female and male species. Alvin (lead fella) had to work damn hard to solve the complex Jolie-equation. It shouldn't have to be that hard ladies! Alvin's prize, however, was well worth the wait. My judge of a good book are the ones that keep me thinking about the chapters long after I'm done -- I am still thinking about Jolie's Surrender one week later. A very good read from Edwina Martin-Arnold. I'm buying Eve's Prescription now!

Wow! If there was an Oscar award for books.....

I recently read "Jolie's Surrender", and I found it to be most enjoyable. I usually do not read romance novels, however, "Jolie's Surrender" has converted me. The novel consist of an extremely well written plot, instead of the usual 'moan scenes'. Although those types of scenes are there, they are well placed, and within the flow of the story. After reading "Jolie's Surrender", and reading the reviews for "Eve's Prescription", I am defintiely going to run out and buy it! I highly recommend both books!
