On a business trip to Ethiopia, art gallery owner Afiya Terrell meets Senegalese art dealer Ibra Diop - and the sparks are undeniable. But attraction turns to outrage when she finds Ibra is perfectly happy being single. Thrown together in a desperate search for a perfect jewel, they'll have to work together - and see if love can find a way.
This is the first book I have read by Safaa. I love romance books. She has now become one of my favorite authors. I am going to get the other two books about the Terell sisters, I am very interested in reading them. I also hope there will be a book about Kera, but I would like to know how the Diop's are doing with their new baby and what is going on with the unhappy mother in law. Is she trying to cause anymore trouble? Keep up the excellent work

Safaa has done it again. If you read "A Foreign Affair & Passionate Encounter" you will not be disappointed in "The Art of Love" this book is wondering. I could not put this book down! I read it over a weekend. I was so absorbed in it! It was so sweet and make me feel so proud to be an African-American woman. Each character is rich in detail. I look forward to the next novel. Safaa, job well done! Ibra is a DROP DEAD GOOD LOOKING MAN, and he loved him some Afiya. Those Terell sister are something else, when they guy fall they fall hard. Another thing I like is once the guys realize that are in love with those Terell sister they are unstoppable. THE LOVE SCENE ARE HOT..........You will enjoy them. Every time her book come I always go back and start from the beginning and this time will be no different. I will be reading AFA & EP again. I am hoping Safaa will write about Kera (Ibra sister) & maybe Brad. Can't wait to see what she is going to do with Adana story. Thanks Louise

In Virginia, when afro-centric art gallery owner Afiya Terrell meets sophisticated art broker Ibra Diop, the attraction between them is magnetic pleasing both of them. Whenever they can, the pair tries to get together as they are falling in love. However, Afiya who has a gift of presentiment feels her beloved is in danger. Unable to ignore her intuitive premonition, Afiya begins to investigate what and who endangers Ibra. Soon she finds herself caught in the midst of international jewel thieves, who use murder to cover their felonious activities. As she believes in her heart that Ibra is innocent, the overwhelming evidence points towards her true love being not only part of the dangerous gang, but also its leader. The latest of the four Terrell sisters' international thriller (see PASSIONATE ENCOUNTERS) is a delightful amateur sleuth romantic suspense. The lead couple is an interesting pairing as the heroine believes based on her intuitive skills that her beloved is innocent so goes out to prove it, which places her in danger from thieves willing to kill without blinking. Readers will enjoy this fine tale that goes back and forth from America to overseas locales like Senegal. Harriet Klausner
