About Koko

Koko Brown is an USA TODAY Bestselling author and romance junkie who once read over 200 Zebra romance Club novels the summer before her senior year in high school.
Her writing career began at the tender age of nine when she self-published and distributed a newspaper for her fellow classmates. Unfortunately, her grade-school principal Mr. Clark didn’t appreciate the competition and put her out of business after one best-selling issue.
Undaunted, Koko continued to write and read everything she could get her hands on. She honed her writing skills as a staff writer on her college’s newspaper, writing obituaries for the local newspaper, and even teaching American Literature.
One day, while daydreaming in bed, she came up with the idea for her first erotic manuscript. Taking a hiatus from teaching, she had enough time on her hands to flesh out the story in two short weeks.  A month later, she cleaned it up and sent it to Ellora’s Cave .  By January, she received a revision letter from one of their editors and by March she signed a contract for her vampire erotic novel Charmed.
Koko calls the east coast of Florida home. Even though she’s a multipublished author of interracial erotic romance, she has a life.  She loves to travel (three continents, 20+ countries and 38 states so far), shop in thrift stores, ride motorcycles, and volunteering.

What she didn’t plan on was meeting the intense Italian architect Enzo Milano, a local celebrity in Phoenix. The handsome and commanding Enzo sweeps the passionate and vibrant Ava into his world of galas, prestige, luxury, and money.

Enzo is charming, breathtakingly gorgeous, and a self-made American success story. He’s also a seasoned womanizer who has zero interest in relationships. Still, he can’t deny there is something special about Ava and considers trying an old-fashioned romance.

Sexy, humorous, and touching, Turn Towards the Sun will resonate with any woman whose life didn’t quite work out as she planned.

Four months after meeting devastatingly handsome and intensely passionate Enzo Milano, Ava is sure her fairy tale has come true. But how well can you know a man after just a few months?

Enzo’s womanizing past is just something she can’t ignore, as much as she would like to. Faced with a delusional former employee on her wedding day, Ava thinks it couldn’t possibly get crazier than that. But it does.

His secretive past comes to light in the most public way, and Ava gets a glimpse into the cold, dark man he was before her love opened him up. Will this new information change her feelings towards her prince charming?

Ava and Enzo must tackle the past as they prepare for the future. Jealousy, insecurity, secrets, and even lies come between them and their blissful happiness. Will it all be too much for a new relationship to bear? Or will their intense love for each other endure any trial?

After the Rain is book two in the Sunflower Trilogy.

A love strong enough to survive even the toughest challenge…or is it?

From the moment he told her, Ava never doubted Enzo’s love for her. How could she? He spent every day of his life making sure she felt it. Through every trial, the couple has only come out stronger for it. She was confident that no matter what challenge life had in store, she and Enzo’s love would endure.

Just as Ava’s dreams for the future fall into place something happens that she never imagined. Still, she knows with Enzo by her side, happiness is always just around the corner. What Ava doesn’t know is a threat she thought was long gone is back and will stop at nothing to take everything that is precious away from her.

A love, even as strong as theirs, can only be tested so much before it breaks. Can Enzo and Ava’s love survive their toughest challenge yet? Will Enzo’s love be enough to keep Ava safe or is she better off away from the only man she’s ever loved? Will they ever get the happily ever after they deserve?

Fill out the FORM.

Jennifer Domenico started writing as a five-year old child in the back of her mother’s bible in church. It was a way to keep the fidgety child quiet but even then she took simple stories and twisted them into even more imaginative tales. As she grew, the stories grew with her and she filled notebook after notebook with her musings.

As an adult, she knew she wanted to be a writer but she lacked the attention span and inspiration required to produce a full length story. Eventually she put away her notebooks and turned her attention to the business world where she toiled away for many years.

She stopped reading fiction, stopped entertaining her outlandish imagination, and stopped dreaming of being a writer. Until one day, many months ago she went to sleep and a beautiful love story played out in her dreams.

When she awoke she felt compelled to write it down. And she wrote and she wrote, for days and days she wrote. The result is part one of Enzo and Ava’s story. Turn Towards the Sun is her first, but certainly not her last, novel.

Ms. Domenico lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her very Italian husband, a dog that adores her, two cats that tolerate her, and wicked sweet tooth. She is currently working on part two in the series.

As his best friend’s sister, she was supposed to be off limits but Olivia quickly becomes a fever in his blood he simply can’t shake. He will do whatever it takes to have her with him and underneath him, even it means kidnapping.

The independent woman…

Olivia Pierce vows to never marry, instead choosing to focus on her career. But a clandestine encounter with Khalid’s threatens her resolve. Though her mind says no, her body screams yes! Her only option is to reject the the arrogant industrialist who believes a woman’s place is in his bed.

When Olivia rejects Khalid’s advances, he takes matters in his own hands and whisks her away to placate his obsession. From the tempestuous passion of their first encounter, across stormy seas, to a beautiful oasis in Africa, Olivia becomes his prisoner and a slave to Khalid’s all-consuming seduction.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Now no where does it say its a historical or anything, but the beginning of the story I felt like I was back in the early 1900's.  Just the way Olivia is expected to get married and settle down after school. The way her brother seems to be her keeper. It just didn't feel very modern to me. But overall it was a good story and something different than what I have read before.

Olivia is an independent woman who is just graduating college and looking to focus in a career instead of marriage like most of her classmates. She moves back home with her brother and begins to work along side him. She is very happy with her choices and likes the life she has built. Then Khalid comes to visit her brother, and boy do the sparks fly. As soon as they met for the first time you can feel the sexual tension. Olivia doesn't want what Khalid offers even if it makes her an honest woman. I mean I would not buy it either who proposes marriage on the first night?

Not getting his way, Khalid kidnaps Olivia and takes her to a remote location in Africa, again with the historical points of things they travel by boat over a period of time. If the story was modern they would have flown or traveled by private means.  Once in Africa Khalid tries to seduce Olivia with everything he has, but nothing works. Over time they begin a friendship that leads to them giving into their own sexual needs. But can it ever be more?

I liked the setting. being in a dessert in Africa no buildings, just a nomadic way of life, it was very different. I like Khalid a lot, there was just something so sexy about him. Maybe its the bad boy in him?  I liked the way he really went out of his way to make Olivia happy and really did fall in love with her. I like the sub characters and what they brought to the story.  The end to me was very predictable, but still a good ending.

Like I said I was mixed on how I feel, while parts were really good some was just a turn off to me.

3.5 out of 5 stars
