idealistic woman who meets her match.

RT Book Reviews praised her most recent release Too Hot For Tv calling it a winning romance that readers will love” while author Farrah Rochon simply says “count on Cheris Hodges to deliver a sassy, sexy romantic read.” Now, Hodges returns with FORCES OF NATURE, a contemporary romance about a straight-laced idealistic woman who meets her match.
When Crystal Hughes handcuffs herself to the receptionist's desk at the lobby of Welco Industries, she just wanted to prove a point--no one was going to tear down the more than 100 acres of farmland that had been in her family since the turn of the century. But she never expected that the person at the head of the project would be as handsome as Douglas Wellington, III. Likewise, Douglas Wellington, III wasn't going to let some grassroots protester stop his plan. Tearing down the farmland and turning it into a multimillion dollar business park was going to do wonders for the city--invigorate the community and add thousands of new jobs, but when he spots Crystal, who's spunky and full of fire, the project seems to be the last thing on his mind. Now these two opposites will have to figure out what's real and what's really worth fighting for.

Django Unchained or The live version of Catcher Freeman

Forget what Spike Lee has to say about Django Unchained , I want to know if Aaron McGruder recognized his work on the big screen. After reading what Quentin Tarantino said about Roots , I had plans to sit this one out. Then I got an invite to see it.  Tarantino called out Roots as inauthentic as a part of his battle with Lee, who accurately said Django was disrespectful to his ancestors. About ten minutes into this overly long spaghetti western/blaxplotation flick, I wanted to make a tee shirt that would read, SPIKE WAS RIGHT.  Tarantino should've made a western with a black hero -- the slavery aspect of the movie was just so unnecessary. Granted, this movie is a work of fiction and not based on any historical slavery story. And yes, people go to the movies to be entertained, but overly violent movies aren't entertaining to me. However, I digress.  The fact that some many people are talking about how "original" this movie is proves one thing: Y'all don

When did you decide to write romance?      When I was 14, my sister gave me my first Harlequin Romance novel to read and since then I knew one day I wanted to write a book for Harlequin. Many years later, I finally completed my first novel and after many re-writes and submissions, I went on to write my second novel (These Arms of Mine) that was accepted by Harlequin Kimani after corresponding with them for about 10 months.   So, persistence and having faith in oneself definitely pays off! 2. What is your debut novel, These Arms of Mine about?  It’s a reunion ro
