Summary: Great! My first Sandra Kitt novel, and certainly not my last
Review: First I have to say, I really liked this book!This is the story a Leah Downey and her love for police officer Jason Horn. When Leah first meets Jason, she thinks he is a drunk, a drifter and feels sorry for him, giving him a cup of coffee. Horn returns later to explain himself and their mild conversations turn to friendship and then romance. Leah, who is seeing an attractive popular man, but who finds him emotionally distant is surprisingly attracted to Horn, even though he is... Anglo and a cop. Leah and Jason are beset from all sides as friends and co-workers attitudes change towards them because they are an interracial couple. Can Leah and Jason's love survive the test of a society which seems determined to undermine them at every turn? I really thought this book was great. Leah was a believable character, torn between fear of committing to someone she wasn't sure about, and Jason, no saint, has trouble putting his troubled past behind him. I really liked the book. Can't recommend it enough. (Even if I I did think that Leah was awfully forgiving of her sister towards the end, but heck, she was in love!) Buy yourself a copy!

Summary: More than a "Romance" novel...
Review: "The Color of Love" shouldn't be pigeon holed into the label of "romantic fiction," because it's just a good story period...and a universal one to boot.
This an excellent book and that's coming from someone who's never been a fan of traditional "romance novels." I saw Sandra Kitt interviewed on a local cable station and decided to check out some of her work. I'm glad I did. Sandra Kitt does an excellent job of weaving an intricate story around a number of sharply defined characters. "The Color of Love" tells the story of Leah Downey, a black graphic artist and her unlikely relationship with Jason Horn, a white cop. A relationship that is vehemently opposed by Leah's older sister Gail, Jason's partner Joe, Leah's co-workers...pretty much everyone but themselves. They ultimately find that the main barrier they must traverse is themselves and worrying about what everyone else thinks. That and the fact that their worlds are so different - Jason's job (working with troubled youth) puts a strain on their relationship and so does Leah's circle of friends. This a very well written book with a fascinating story line. "The Color of Love" is one terrific read!

Summary: It's about time
Review: This may be one of my all time favorite books. Anyone who says the people in this book aren't real must be living under a rock. The color of love follows the life to two very different yet not so different people. Leah Doweny and Jason Horn. The just happen to meet when Jason depressed over a tragic lost in his life parks himself on Leah's front stoop. She gives him a cup of coffee intruged as to why Jason comes back. Right away they have a lot to say to each other. They both find that they really do want to know about the other person. One date isn't enough so they go out. One date leads to another than another.
Anyone who's date black white or what ever race has been down the what-exactly-are-we-to-each-other-now ? road that Jason and Leah find themselves in Lover friends ? Leah know what can happen if the become lovers. Despite what someone said interracial dating is still a taboo subject just look at the lack of it on t.v. While it may not as be as bad as it once was the trouble is still there. And this book did a wonderful job of covering that without being sterotypical. Jason and Leah both had to sit down and ask what they really wanted from each other and why where they really together. It made the both very human and both very easy to relate to. It wasn't a rose colored romance but a real one with real human emotions. The question and the old prejucties were real. The only thing I didn't like was Leah's whole roll over and let it go deal with her sister and her ex man. Other than that this book is one you'll want to read again and again one of the most realistic reads out there today.

Summary: Unrealistic and stereotypical trite little novel
Review: I feel that overall Ms. Kitt has gone out her way to portray Black males as violent and aggressive and white men has heroic and valiant. All of the Black males in this awful novel are stereotypical. It is obvious by the language of the young Black male protagonist in this book that Ms. Kitt has had very little contact with Black males. What young Black male do you know uses the word "fox" to describe a female, give me a break! If Ms. Kitt wants to promote the white male/Black female relationships,I wish she would do so without castigating Black men.

Summary: Dramatic Read
Review: I am an avid reader of biracial romance novels. Ms.Kitt
give you the "411" on interracial relationships. This is a good
read. I loved Leah. She had a lot of issues to deal with----a silly sister and a stupid boyfriend. Jason was a tough as nails type of guy. He had to battle with the loss of his son and with the stupid bigots on his job. Inspite of all Jason and Leah had to go through, love won in the end.

Summary: Views are outdated!
Review: I read the book because it was the "book of the month" for our book club. I found it to be pretty naiveté for this day and age. I'm sure interracial couples still go through some problems due to ignorance, but it just does not seem to be as big a deal as the book made it out to be. I know the book was written in 1995 but the thinking was more 1950ish. I am still trying to figure out the "sisters" relationship. Althea

Summary: LR's opinion
Review: The book was very, very good. I actually purchased it by accident about 2 years ago, I bought it at a store where Ms. Kitt had been in to autograph some copies apparently because mine has her signature. Well I had no interest in a bi-racial romance until recently when I found myself attacted to a co-worker. I guess it was a book that came in at the right time for my mind set. I read it in about 3 days. I was thoroughly satisfied with the characters. Leah was alot like me. Jason is a great guy who went through some very real tribulations. I thought the writing was superb. I highly recommend it to anyone just a little curious about the other side. Whether you are black or white you will enjoy this love story.

Summary: Good book
Review: Its about time there was an interracial couple where the girl is black and the guy is white. Normally its the other way around. This book was a lot better than I thought it would be. And I was relieved that Leah was intelligent and not ignorant. Which is how black women are portrayed too many times. I would recommend this book to anyone I know who wouldn't be "offended" by this type of couple.
