well written

the book ws ver good i loved it but the middle was alil boring it went to too much detail for me. between the two main characters it felt like the author was stalling for them for the readers to get to kno them as together. an she really didn't show vic to much either acouple of pages of his thoughts but nothing else. but the book was good an i enjoyed an i looke foward for others books of this author.

(RAW Rating: 3.5) - From the boardroom to the mailroom

As the first African-American attorney at a prestigious New York City law firm, Maya Wilkins is confronted with a problem more pronounced than condescending peers. The case she has been given, to straighten the books of one of their clients, may prove that a senior partner of the firm has been embezzling money. When Maya is advised by the client to ignore her findings, her suspicions go on full alert. But Maya must be careful that she does not step on the wrong toes and jeopardize her career. While trying to sort through her suspicions, she meets Victor, a songwriter and currently the mailroom supervisor at the firm. The attraction is instantaneous, but Maya has too much going on to pursue a relationship, plus she has reservations about what her colleagues will think. Victor has noticed Maya on more than one occasion, and has passed her off as a sister with her head in the clouds. When Maya seeks Victor's assistance in exposing the corporate thief, they are forced to reevaluate their initial assessments; the passion that luxuriates around them presents a most persuasive argument. PACK LIGHT is Kim Shaw's debut novel and it is sexy, and suspenseful in a subtle way. Ms. Shaw presents a dramatic situation and still makes the story personable and embraceable. The fact that she did not include over-the-top drama is a plus for the author and the story. This is a writer to watch. Reviewed by aNN of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

Fantastic!!!!!

I picked up this book not knowing what to expect. I just kinda needed something to read at the airport and on the plane. Man my journey went by quickly. I could not put this book down. She has a fantastic writing style that not only makes you experience everything the characters are experiencing but you then become vested in them. I would love to see stories of the side characters as well, especially the best friend. I have never heard of this author but if I see her name again I will certainly buy anything she writes. Bravo for making me believe in romance and getting back to the good old days of curling up with a fantastic book.

A must read

I like her style of writing. This isn't your typical book, she makes you believe that the same thing happens to you, because you see most of the time. I couldn't top reading the book cause it was real. I read it almost five times its that good.
