Customer Reviews

Passionate

Again, I truly enjoyed another one of Ms Safaa's offerings. Having read A Foreign Affair(the story of Keino and Amara), I was looking forward to Ras' story and was not disappointed; Keino was HOT, but cousin Ras was HOTTER. Although, Cassandra was tough with Ras, she had to have cared for him to accept the baby the way she did. It was good to be brought up on the going ons of both families and the sharing of Ethopiian traditions was very enlightening. I know Ms Safaa has more for us as there are still two Terrell sisters left to write about and even Brad.

Foreign Traveler

I am happy to say I have read both "A Foreign Affair" and "Passionate Encounters." In reading these works, I traveled to both Nairobi and Ethiopia - something I might never get a chance to do otherwise. I enjoyed the rituals in both books. Above all I like the romance. I am now waiting on the next two novels (It is going to be a long wait). It was a long wait for "Passionate Encounters." Looking forward to more reading enjoyment. Loretta, the non-computer person.

Passionate Encounters

If you read a Ms. Safaa first book "A Foreign Affair" then you will really want to read "Passionate Encounters" This book will hold you interest from beginning to end. Now if thought Keino was FINE & HOT the you will want to read about Ras (Keino cousin's). I think this book is HOTTER than Ms. Safaa first book. I recommend everybody to read this book, and lets not forget about those Terrell sister they are all something else and you will not be disappointed in Cassandra. Thanks Louise
