Rating:

Rating:
Summary: wonderful book, wonderful author
Review: I enjoyed this book beyond measure and bought it for my friends. (I wouldn't risk loaning it and not getting it back!) Real characters that I could relate to. Although I also loved Significant Others, this is my favorite of Sandra Kitt's books.

Summary: An okay interracial love story
Review: An interracial love develops despite the usual obstacles (family, friends, co-workers, etc.). I could never truly picture Leah's character as an enterprising black woman and I also had trouble with Jason's inability as a "street-smart" cop to see trouble coming. Otherwise, an okay book.

Summary: Looked at Interracial Romance In A Real and Honest Way
Review: I opened this book and couldn't stop reading until the end. It seemed as thought I were right there with the characters. This book didn't gloss interracial dating. It really let the reader experience how difficult it is to date outside your race. But in the end true love won. A fantastic book.

Summary: Excellently written; well-developed characters.
Review: A (former) self-described literary "snob", I rarely read fiction and NEVER those "romance novels." Boy, did this book prove me wrong! The book held my interest from beginning to end. The story was good and the characters --male, female, black, white-- were well developed. This sensitive topic was handled with integrity and depth. So good that I read it twice!!

Rating:
Summary: ABSOLUTE BEST OF ITS KIND!!!!!!!
Review: The best novel of it's kind! As someone who has lived the Jason side of the story I can vouch for the accuracy of the incidents, stereotypes, predujices, and problems to be overcome in the books situations. I have used the book as an icebreaker-conversation piece with women-the response is universally teriffic! Would LOVE to meet a real-life Leah!!!!! Read, enjoy, and live THE COLOR OF LOVE!!!!

Summary: A complex look at an interracial relationship...
Review: Here is a book that delves beneath the surface of an interracial relationship, and doesn't simply rely on the superficial titillation of the issue. You get in the character of Jason Horn a realistic figure, who has to confront his own racial demons and prejudices regarding Black people while at the same time slowly coming to realize that he is falling in love with Leah, a Black woman whom he had only thought to befriend. Leah, on the other hand, has to deal with the cultural stigmas and issues about dating a White man. She is presented as a sensitive, caring individual. Because neither of the main characters are flat (although I did have trouble believing the character of Leah's sister, Gail, who seemed a little bit stereotypical, i.e. "sassy, over-opinionated Black woman), you do care for their relationship and how it will turn out. I was not disappointed by the ending.

Summary: Better than the rest
Review: I was in my senior year of highschool when I bought this book and have read it many times since (now a junior in college). My book also is plain worn out!! I almost consider myself an expert in interracial dating books and this is the one I keep coming back to because it is devoid of stereotypes and is full REAL feelings, not just the jumping into bed part. In the end you realize that these are two distinct people, not THE BLACK WOMAN with the WHITE MAN scenario.

Summary: bought it, read it, loved it,lent it out, bought it again!
Review: I'll never forget this author and I'll never forget this book. Leah and Jason are real and promising. Ms. Kitt you inspire me!

Summary: WunderBar!Been There. Done That. Wish I Could Do It Again.
Review: Very, very special My mutilated copy with dog eared pages and highlighter marks.. So many layers of feelings and emotions whether an interracial relationship or not. Human feelings about love, taking a chance after hurts and disappointments. It touched me on many levels: Starting again, self-esteem, hope, and what it must feel like to be loved. I too wish there was a Jason Horn for me
