Summary: I want a Horn Blower
Review: I first read this book about 5 years ago, and when I need to read a interracial romance book this one is the one I pull of my shelf. If you want a romance that will make you cry and laugh and cheer for a happy ending than give this one a try. You will love it I promise you that. It is one of the best interracial love stories out there today that I have read and believe me I believe I have read them all, even the e-book ones.

Summary: Great Interracial romance book- this, from a guy!
Review: As a man who often dates interracially, I have always wondered why there aren't more books on this topic. Ms. Kitt's book is a welcome addition to this genre. Remember, I am a guy, and most guys don't read romance novels. But this one is different I think, because the characters are believable and real, and not based on some inane fantasy. Despite their intense passion for one another, Jason and Leah come from different worlds and they both find out the hard way that "other people's attitudes" DO matter. Leah's sister- perhaps the most unlikeable character in the book- and Jason's coworkers really make life hard for this couple but somehow they survive it all. I think Ms. Kitt captured the "little things" that interracial couples face, to include the black woman's anger and the white man's ignorance. I wish there were more positive white male characters in the book- Jason is pretty much the only one who is dealt with in depth. With the exception of Leah's father, most of the black males (Allen, Joe and Slack) are stereotypes. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book. I read it in one sitting, it was that engrossing. Kudos, Ms. Kitt, great job!

Summary: Page Turner!
Review: Finally managed to read this engaging story, in three sittings. There was much gritty reality, yet much romance. My only concern is Leah's calm, passive acceptance of her sister's betrayal. Jason is a good man who works hard for what he beleives in which is so rare and commendable these days. Leah was ready for a man in her life to love her heart and soul. If you are in a mixed relationship, just tell the wagging tongues to go away if the only thing they see wrong is the color. Otherwise you might miss out on something great.

Summary: A Colorblind Love
Review: I thought this book related to my actual lifestyle so much. The character Leah Downey kind of knew from the beginning that there was something there between her character and Jason Horn and they sometimes they knew each others thoughts. This book shows the great struggle of young interaccial couples and how blind love should really be. The color of love shouldn't matter to anyone accept for you and the person that you are in love with. Thank you Sandra Kitt for such a wonderful book!

Summary: COLOR OF LOVE
Review: Sandra Kitt is at the forefront of biracial love stories. Her characters are so real, their emotions so poignant, that you feel their joy, their indecision and their heartache. In this book, an unfulfilled Black artist meets a White cop, when he's down and out. After getting to know each other, they like each other, but they have to face family, co-workers and friends who are determined to give them every reason why the relationship won't work. After not dealing with their issues head-on, they agree. It's loneliness without each other that makes them come back together. In the end, they decide, based on their own feelings, the direction they want to go. The supporting cast, whether good or bad, in the book are excellent. THE COLOR OF LOVE is highly recommended as a good, realistic romance and as a way to see around prejudice.

Summary: Finally!
Review: I won't repeat the plot that has already be told by the other reviewers but FINALLY a writer has done a contemporary romance novel that deals with a real world issue that many of us see played out in cities everyday--two people who fell in love and who are of different races!Duh?! Why this is not written about more often, is the tragedy of living in a society that panders to the ideas of the past that has never came to grips with the realities of what people really were (and area) doing. Some of them were loving each other in spite of the tabu of race. Thank you Ms. Kitt for opening the door to talk about inter racial romance in terms of the possible instead of just the problems. I want more romance stories like this!

Summary: Strong story with characters to care for
Review: I think that overall this is a story of two people who were meant to be together, regardless of race or anything else. There was a connection from the very beginning that they couldn't deny. I did like Sandra's characterizations of Leah and Jason, but I do agree to some extent, with the criticisms leveled at the Gail/Allen storyline. But I will say, in Leah's defense, that after what Allen did to her, coming at the end of a long time of ambivalant feelings towards him, that at that point she was beyond caring about him one way or the other. And I think she was very hurt at what her sister had done, but she definitly could have gotten more angry. Gail DID NOT deserve to get what she wanted. But I think if Sandra writes a sequal (hint, hint) that we'll see that ultimately she didn't. Good job Sandra.

Summary: Here's something different for you!!
Review: This way my first novel dealing with interracial relationships. It was a very enjoyable read! It sheaded some much needed light on a fact of life that many people of this day and age refuse to accept. The Color of Love was beautifully written by one of the great authors of this time, well in my opinion she is!! So if you are in for something different, go pick up a copy, you will not be disappointed!!

Summary: JUST ANOTHER LOVE STORY? WRONG
Review: I read Close Encounters first. Loved it. I decided I just had to read The Color of Love. Great decision. I don't know which characters I like the most, Close Encounters or Color of Love. These people are so real and down to earth. Sandra Kitt is the reason I just joined the African-American Book Club. Her writing is superb. I'm adding all of her novels to my library. I just send a friend of mine Close Encounters. She's got to read Color of Love next. Sandra, you have so much talent in your little finger. Keep it up.
