Not a love storyJun 22, 2008 This was the first book I read by this author and my last. I was so bored by the third page. There is no fire or heat in this book.

Horrible! Horrible! and more Horrible!Apr 08, 2005 Absolutely, the worst. I am an avid reader of interracial romance and this book was the absolute worse. The author should take pointers from the writing of other interracial authors to see how it is done. Please someone ask the publisher to scrap this book and ban it from future sale. Yeeech!

Horrible! A wide and vast disappointment.Mar 31, 2005 I was really looking forward to this book. The wonderful cover and blurb completely misled me. This author completely failed to develop the characters and relationships in this book. I didn't care about these people or their stories. Nothing happens that would be of interest to anyone. No excitement in the story. No depth in the writing. I wish I had spent NO cash for this utterly horrible read.

Look elsewhere for a great IR story.Mar 10, 2005 I've been a big fan of some of Eva Rutland's earlier works. This story seeks to address a current trend of writing about interracial (IR) relationships.
This story focuses on two couples - Kris & Tom and Jill & Scott. The story of the couple not depicted on the cover (Jill & Scott) is more interesting than that of the interracial "lead" of the story. This books lacks some of the basics to a good read...it fails to build or sustain an interest in the characters who are the supposed main storyline and the main couple of the book lack an intrinsic chemistry.
For a good book featuring an interracial story, try others such as "At Last" by Lisa Riley. You will get a more satisfying read for your dollar.

An 'A' for Effort but not much elseMar 07, 2005 I love Eva Rutland but this novel was a total disappointment. I had such high hopes for this book, having heard about it last year and it was eagerly anticipated.
Honestly, I felt shortchanged - Kris and Tom (the couple shown on the cover of the book) seemed to be nothing more than window dressing. There was no depth or breadth to their characters. The book spent more time on the developing relationship between Jill and Scott - Kris' best friend.
I didn't really care that the sensuality level wasn't high - because anyone who had read Ms. Rutland's books in the past know that isn't her forte. However, there wasn't even the slightest hint of erotic tension between Kris and Tom.
The only reason I give this book a '3' is for Harlequin finally understanding that interracial marriages are a fact of life and all women want to read a GOOD story about such love. I also give this book a '3' because I like Eva Rutland.
