REVIEW:
Tangela Howard grew up with a drug addicted mother and absentee father until the
age of nine when she was placed into the foster care system with a foster mother
who wasn’t any better than her biological mother. She learned at an early age to
depend on herself. Tangela fell in love with Warrick the day they met nine years
ago but ran out on him two years ago after realizing he wasn’t going to set a
wedding date.
Now she’s back with a new look and a new view on life. She’s ready to get a
promotion, find a husband and have some kids. There’s only one problem with her
plan…she’s still in love with Warrick. Warrick Carver has spent the past two
years going through the motions but not really living. He’s been named interim
president of his father’s architecture firm and loves being in charge. His love
life has taken a non-existent backseat. When he realizes that Tangela is back in
town, he soon realizes that he’s never gotten over her, and he never will.
Tangela and Warrrick must open the lines of communication if they are to ever
have a chance at love and true happiness.
Pamela Yaye tells a story of destiny in
LOVE ON THE ROCKS.
Tangela Howard is used to running from her problems and never looking back.
Warrick Carver is accustomed to seeing things through to the end. It’s amazing
how two people, who, to others, seem so wrong for each other, are so perfect for
each other. Pamela Yaye uses her unflappable ability as a writer to tell a story
through Tangela and Warrick and to encourage readers to never give up on the one
you love.
The main story takes place in Las Vegas, but a trip to New Orleans helps get
Tangela and Warrick back on track. The dialogue is witty and realistic and keeps
the reader interested in the story. The supporting characters provide humor
while giving Warrick and Tangela their advice and opinions.
Pamela Yaye has another hit on her hands. She also allows us to revisit Sage and
Marshall from GAMES OF THE HEART.
I think Tangela and Warrick’s story is a perfect example of how important
communication and compromise are in any relationship. I absolutely loved this
novel.
