On A Fantasy Cruise…

When struggling singer, the beautiful plus size Sameerah Clark landed a job on the Fantasy cruise liner, she thought she was the main act – not a mere backup vocalist for singing idol Tony Harmon. Angry at the unexpected turn of events, she blurts out her frustration. But Tony isn't offended. In fact, he's nothing less than intrigued by this fiery, sexy woman with a voice as smooth as melted honey. When he invites her onstage to sing a duet with him – a duet that he ends with a bold kiss–desire courses through Sameerah's blood…

A Real Love Sets Sail….

Docked in Puerto Rico Sameerah and Tony spend a magical afternoon and a sexy, steamy night together. Sameerah is impressed at just how down-to-earth this megastar really is until she spots him in an embrace with the woman on the ship's deck. But despite what she has witnessed Sameerah can't quite convince herself that Tony is just another playboy celebrity – not after the electrifying connection they shared. But will her intuition be enough to overcome the jealous agendas that threaten to keep the two soul mates apart?

Editorial Reviews

Review

Sameerah Clark joins her cousin on a cruise as a back-up singer for Tony Harmon, a teen idol making a comeback. Sameerah doesn't recognize the handsome, intelligent man as the heartthrob from years ago. As a full-figured woman, she's come to have a healthy respect for herself and her body, but still finds it hard to believe Tony is as attracted to her as she is to him.

Tony can't believe how loving and generous Sameerah is-how can he not fall in love with her? He sweeps her into a fairy tale life, hoping she'll see past the star to the man. When Sameerah agrees to marry him, Tony thinks he's accomplished his dream until a woman from his past threatens to force Sameerah out of his life.

FANTASY is an engaging blend of love, laughter and adventure wrapped in a gossamer veil of pure, unadulterated fun.

From the Author

I am an avid cruiser having gone on over a dozen cruises--so far. So it was inevitable that I should write a novel that takes place on a cruise ship bound for my favorite destination, the Caribbean! Also, so many readers wanted to see a plus-size heroine, so my Sameerah fills that request.

Another wonderful romantic story

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 1999

Verified Purchase

Ms. Manees continues to write stories about real down-to-earth people with flaws like everyone else but who are not enslaved by those flaws (and I am NOT referring to weight here). I loved the beautiful full-figured heroine, who was as confident as she was beautiful. I really liked the way we were introduced to the metamorphosis of Tony Harmon from a philandering playboy to the mature sensitive hero of the novel, who was not afraid to reveal his vulnerabilities to the woman he loved. I also liked the part Chantal had to play. As another reader wrote, we like having somebody to hate, and she added some flavour to the antics on the cruise.
My one criticism would be that this is the kind of story which could have used some more time for developing the relationship between the two main characters. I guess the length of the book didn't permit this. But, I found that the having the whole relationship take place during the short space of time of the cruise, was a little contrived and not in keeping with the relatively cautious and practical nature of the characters.
As usual, Ms. Manees has written another sweet, sensitive, humourous and utterly romantic story which will surely thrill her audience. I still prefer All My Love (there's just something special about that story for me), but this story is still quite impressive. I continue to look forward to more novels from Ms. Raynetta Manees.

Rewiew :
SameerahI love that she's a lady of size and color but her attitude sucks to me...
Rude, whiny, a little to perfect, I just wish the main guy Tony would of had balls they were suppose to go on a date but she went with his band mate talk about foul and a double heck no...also when he walk in the room and saw her with another guy he was upset what man wouldn't me and when the table turns she was piss and took off her engagement ring and had a cow also Isis and Tree yes we heard a little about there courtship but at the end they are married and Isis is all mature Isis and tree story could of been book 2

I Loved This Book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2006

With red eyes from no sleep, I write this review!

Yes, I stayed up all night reading this book.

I just couldn't put it down!

I loved the characters and how plus size ladies

were portrayed.

I liked the fact that Sam(the main character)

exercised and kept fit also!

Although she may have played a part in his reformation,

I believe that Tony was tired of his playboy ways

before he met Sam.

I liked the fact that Ms. Manees tied up all

the loose ends at the end of the book.

Also, although All For Love remains my favorite

of all of her books, I love the models on the cover

of this book.

They are more realistic to the characters in the book

than All For Love & Follow Your Heart.

I like the fact that the group Harmony

(mentioned in All For Love-

it's good to know what happened

to them after recording with Darryl)

and Ty & Meeko Barnett from

Follow Your Heart were mentioned.

Keep up the good work, Ms. Manees.

By the way, here's a message for you

if you're reading this review:

In the fly leaf of this book,

it was mentioned that you were working

on a sequel to All For Love to be

released by 2000.

It's now 6 years later!

Any word on when it'll be complete?

I'd love to know:

If Alex & Tiffany got together

Did Darryl and Angela win a Grammy for their song?

Did Alex win an Oscar?

Let's meet baby Bridges!

Did Sam & Bev get together?

What the story on Cortez, Stew, & Charlene?

Looking forward to more good books from you!
