I enjoy the fact, as a woman, especially a African-American woman, that she embraces her sensuality. Samara is able to give her characters life by making them more human, more real, by infusing them with real personalities and passion. She makes you get caught up in the story. "Hot To The Touch" is a HOT READ!</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span>-Phinesse Demps, AAMBC Reviewer</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span><br /></span></span></div>
