“I loved this book from beginning to end. Caesar and Vivan were meant to be together. The grannys were a bit meddlesome, however in the end it was worth it for all involved. At times I wanted to jump in the book and strangle Viv for Caesar. ”

AlTonya Washington introduces Vivian Desmond and Caesar Morrison in her latest novel, Rival’s Desire. Vivian is the sexy lead singer of a singing group, Intrigue and Caesar is a handsome, 6’8” eight professional football running back. Vivian and Caesar have known each other since they were kids and they have shared a love/hate relationship. That is until their grandmothers’ decide to put their matchmaking plan to work. As Vivian and Caesar began working together, their relationship blossomed into something that was unforgettable –except, Vivian held a secret that continued to keep them apart.
Rival’s Desire is a wonderful love story. It will make you laugh and say “Awww” as the characters work through their differences. I recommend this book for all romance readers.

“I must say, I truly enjoyed reading this book. I found all the characters to come alive and draw me into their world. Ceaser and Vivan were perfect for one another, they were each others better half and they met each other head on. I recommend this book to all and I am looking forward to many new and interesting page turners from Ms. Washington..”

I enjoyed the matchmaking schemes of the two lovable, yet meddlesome grandmothers. Despite the constant bickering that went on between their grandchildren, they could see the potential for a “perfect match”. Ms. Washington crafts a sweet, humorous and spicy read. The STEAMY intimacy is definitely HOT, HOT, HOT. I found myself LOL at the “high school-like” banter and antics between Caesar Morrison and Vivian Desmond. The witty dialogue and amusing storyline made for a fun, quick and romantic read. At times, I find it hard to believe Caesar and Vivian are adults; with their immature behavior, but it definitely makes for a entertaining and lively page-turner. The HIGHLY charged emotions between Caesar and Vivian just leapt off the pages. And once Caesar and Plum spend quality time together and stop fighting with each other; they discover they actually work well together, both in and out of the office . Caesar is definitely a “prince charming” once he opens his eyes and heart and admits his true feelings for Vivian. But can Vivian trust her heart and COMPLETELY open up to Caesar and share her secret or will she continue to keep it buried with the rest of her past heartaches, and risk losing her one true love?!!”
