Product Description
Funny, sexy, and hot, ex-NBA star Ralph Prescott is Vanessa Grant's dream lover. He's also a notorious, no-good player—the wrong kind of man for a woman with big responsibilities. But at a mutual friend's lavish wedding, passion and curiosity get the best of maid of honor Vanessa, and Ralph reveals himself to be the best man in more ways than one. Ralph has had more than his share of women, but none has captivated him like Vanessa. To convince her that his player days are behind him, he'll have to show her what kind of man he truly is. He'll have to fight every inch of the way to break through her defenses and claim the blazing ecstasy they both want . . . and show her why she can't—and shouldn't—say no.

 Making An Offer He Could Not Turn Down December 3, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
In the final book of her Prescott series, Can't Say No, Bette Ford tells the story of Vanessa Grant and Ralph Prescott. Ralph is an ex-basketball star and every woman's dream. He does not think there is a woman worthy enough to settle down with. Vanessa is young, single, and very family-oriented. At the age of 20, Vanessa was granted guardianship of her twin brother and sister and teen-aged sister. Putting her dreams on hold, Vanessa did not have time for romance. She witnessed what love had done to her mother and she was determined not to make the same mistakes. Yet, there was something about Ralph that drew him to her and she decided to proposition him. Little did they know that her decision would affect them in ways that they could not explain.
Ford's novel was very similar to the other books in this series. The characters were fun and loving and each page made you turn the page to see what would happen next. There were a few sections that moved slowly but the final results were enjoyable. Fans of Ford will enjoy reading this novel.

 'A dream, a simple fantasy...' October 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Vanessa Grant secretly fantasizes about sexy ex-NBA Ralph Prescott and the forbidden things he would do to her every night. When dawn breaks, she's back to reality and her life consists of work and raising her three siblings that she's had since the unexpected death of their mom. While helping with her best friend, Brynne's dream wedding, she's constantly tormented with Ralph's presence and her ache for him to stoke this fire that slowly burns for his touch.
Ralph Prescott is successful and has a flock of women that only want what he can financially provide for them. For some strange reason he's been noticing shy Vanessa and has this urge to protect her from a friend that wants her in his bed.
Ms. Ford has penned a sensuous yet saucy read that will have you enamored with all the characters. This book is filled with drama, laughter, love, scandal, and sexy scenes that will make you blush! Amazing read!
Good Story October 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ms. Ford writes a good story - Vanessa & Ralph make a good couple and the extr characters in the story are all sweet. Ralph has changed and Vanessa is stuck inthe past. Why doesn't Vanessa have a strong self esteem while raising her three younger siblings is not realistic to me. It just seems like Vanessa's friends are more mature and more aware than Vanessa is. Being in the role of leader like Vanessa was thrown into - she should be more wise.
Sexually, Vanessa is of course a virgin! (sigh)Today's women are reading about sex well before they engage in the act. Was Vanessa living in a cave all this time? It is more believable to come to the bed a virgin who has some reading knowledge about sex as opposed to Vanessa. Good story with a plot that moves - I am just tired of black romance writers using the old Barbara Cartland theme of having the lead female not be strong and invigorating in her personality - the shy, low esteem black woman just does not cut it for me.
Finally!!!! October 2, 2008
Welcome back Ms. Ford, I am always impressed with your writing skills. I have recommended your works to all my fellow reading friends. I am so happy you are well enough to get your writing groove back. The Prescott series is one that will allow you to always raise the expectation of romance novel genre writing. I encourage you to get and read all the related novels, all Natalie Cole songs by the way!! and right on time!
