I have not read a love story in over 10 years and I just happenend to stop by the book store after church services to purchase a book for my 10 year old son. I picked up Close Encounters, which I read in one night, and was hooked. I called the Library the next day and got all of your books. I have read Color of Love more than 10 times, and each time I come away with a deep appreciation and amazement with the writing, the characters, etc. A sequel is a MUST! Let us know how the characters are doing in married life, kids, friends, etc. This is book is fantastic. The best! Jason and Leah come alive and it is interesting how they weathered the storm of their relationship.

Both their meeting and thier romance are unconventional. They must face obstacles that most couples never have to experience. They realize almost too late that ignoring the problems does not make them disappear. Leah and Jason must examine how their family and co-workers react and how society sees them as a couple. Then, they must decide whether color should matter when you find love. Sandra Kitt has an uncanny ability to make the reader know and understand each character by giving enough background to make them believable and realistic. The characters are well written with believable depth. THE COLOR OF LOVE begins slowly, but once the plot evolves the reader will find it difficult to put this book down. Even though this is a romance novel, it did not follow the typical romance formula. The reader will be able to watch as this couple experiences the good and bad of being in an interracial relationship. This is not my first time reading a novel by Sandra Kitt, but this is one of my favorites because of her ability to express the complexities of interracial romance.

Review: The Color of Love was the first book I've ever read by Ms. Kitt and I could not put it down at all! I've read the story at least 15 times and it gets better and better each time. Automatically I was drawn to the warm characters and compelling plot that intwinded through their lives. I really thought the book was interesting, with Ms. Kitt cleverly flipping the script and doing a fine job at telling the love story of a Sister involved with a White man. When you read it, you soon understand that it's not a matter of curiosity or color at all. It's a matter of the heart, and that's perfectly illustrated in the relationship of Leah and Jason, who prove that real and true love does conquer all. I do agree with others that a Sequel is a MUST, so Sandra, if you are reading, congratulations on another winner and please, please, please consider a sequel or a film. Keep up the good work!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Outstanding Piece of Writing Review: This is my first book by the author however after reading some of those recommended by you all, I find this artist to be the most realistic, most well written one to date. Sure some of the stuff was far-fetched but isn't that why we're reading this stuff...to escape reality? Try Ms.Kitt's books, they're very good. Also kudos to the printing/publishing company because some of these other books have so many typos and messed up print it's upsetting. You won't be sorry by buying all of Ms.Kitt's materials.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: The Color of Love Review: This book pulled no punches. Jason Horn is a troubled man and Leah Downey is not doing so great herself. They "meet" when she brings him a cup of coffee. He finds her again and they decide to date, even though everything and everyone says they shouldn't. They decide to follow their hearts and the world beats them up for it. But, they come back stronger and better in spite of the beating. Read this book. It is not the usual fare with I/R romances. This one is true to its subjects and the reactions that black/white lovers face.

I had never read any of Ms. Kitt's books before until now. I loved the development of Leah and Jason's relationship. I do hope this is being adapted into a movie. As I read this, I could see Sanaa Lathan and George Clooney. The only problem I noticed was that there were several typos. Ms. Kitt's publisher needs to be aware of this. It was distracting at times, but the story made up for it in the end.

Review: In a phrase, Sandra Kitt IS the author I would like to be one day! Her work is a page-turner from the opening of the cover! The story is real, warm and sensitive to BOTH races! She makes the characters SO real that I wound up actually having a "crush" on Jason, for goodness sakes' and he's a fictional character!!!! She brought every character in this book to life and I could feel them, hear the intonations in their voices and see their expressions on their face! A remarkable author who's DEFINITELY found a new fan in ME!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Comprehensive and engaging page-turner! Review: The Color of Love was a thoroughly engaging read. I have a very hectic schedule and summer is the only time I can fit in "escape" reading. I loved spending time with Jason and Leah. I felt like I was actually friends with them by the end of the book. And speaking of ending -- I didn't want it to!!! The interacial aspect of their relationship was handled realistically but not over-bearing. I was rooting for them all the way. I particularly loved Jason's confidence and street-smarts. The pace of their story added to success of this book. It was neither too fast or too slow. To summarize: I enjoyed it immensely!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Beautiful Love Story Review: The Color of Love is one of my all-time favorite books! This was the first book I read by Sandra Kitt, and it will always remain my favorite of her work. All of Sandra Kitt's books hold your interest and really capture the everyday lives of people in society. Interracial relationships not only can be difficult to live through, but seem even harder to write about. Sandra Kitt thoroughly brings her characters to life in a way that not only makes you root for them, but also makes you identify with them. The love story between Leah and Jason took my breath away. There was a lot of romance, but it was portrayed in a realistic fashion without all of the sappiness that some romance novels have. You truly felt the love, passion, and devotion between Jason and Leah, not matter what obstacles presented themselves. The only thing I didn't like was Leah's negative, interrogating sister - I guess she has her purpose in the story - and Leah's constant questioning of her relationship with Jason. I just wished that Leah would relax and let things happen. I could read The Color of Love over and over again and never get tired of it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in an intriguing, thought-provoking, intelligent, realistic book! It is one of the BEST!
