Rating: Summary: Dynamite! I loved it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Review: Great book! I have read it so many times that the book is beginning to fall apart! I recommend this book for anyone who likes a good love story. I ESPECIALLY recommend it to ANYONE that is in an interracial relationship. Being in one myself, I could really identify with the trials and tribulations of Leah, the main character.
After reading the book I had one question: "Can Jason Horn be cloned?????"
Rating: Summary: Excellent, would and have recommended it to my friends!! Review: This was a real written, and researched story. The characters one could relate to. The characters had depth and passion. As a woman you could relate to her inner turmoil. I've read the book at
least 4 times and have passed it on to all of my friends who love it. Not one of my friends who I've passed this book on to have not liked it. My mother even read it and thought it was "easy reading", very good book. When the book was finished, you wished for a Jason Horn to enter your life.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Read! Review: I was suggested this book at a club I belong to because I was interested in reading IRR books. Like the previous readers, this was my first taste of Kitt's writing and I'm never looking back. Sandra Kitt is highly regarded as one of the best writers for IRR books. Once I got into the book, I knew why.The beginning of the book was a bit slow building for me, but it was quickly dismissed as it proceeded and was very well worth it. I found myself identifying with Leah Downey, an artist who was in a timultuous and somewhat misleading (as we soon find out later) relationship, but soon catches the eye of a white man on her stoop named Jason Horn. A man whom destiny has brought together with her only weeks earlier. Their lives are forever connected from then on. Kitt does a good job of distinguishing each character by voice and mannerisms that truly bring them to life. As a writer since a young age I was taught to rarely use the all knowing narrative. Kitt handles this viewpoint with ease and allows the reader to explore all of the characters in the scene at once to make them realistic. I was rooting for the two lovers to get together and understood the trials each had to go through. Although Leah's resistance to be with the man she loved (but didn't know it yet) became a bit repetitive, this worked well to help prove the strength of the relationship and to draw out the suspense. Nice twists added to the subplot ultimately adding to the much appreciated climax and end of the story. The love scenes were romantic and sensual between the two main characters allowing the reader to wistfully live vicariously through them within the story. Highly recommend this book for a great love story! I'll be eagerly waiting to read more of Kitt's fantastic writing.
Rating: 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!
Rating: Summary: WOW Review: I had this book sitting on my self for about 4 years.
One cold winter I picked it up to read, and read the entire book in one sitting(took me about 4 hour, for every year I didn't read it)
I loved it.
My only complaint is that the author didn't Epilogue, showing them married years later, with a child.
Rating: Summary: an okay read Review: the book has an interesting premise which is why I bought it in the first place. it was my first Sandra Kitt novel and my second i/r romance.
my problem was that the story just wasn't steamy enough
I personally like my romance novels to have some kick and this didnt do it for me
the love scene is very bland..and thats the most important part of the book
I also didnt care for the way she dealt with her sister,
she really should have fought her[I won't spoil]
or at least slapped her.
Rating: Summary: Biracial kid on Interracial love Review: Jason and Leah are so incredible. When I read this book, I could actually see a real couple struggling in a world where the people they care about the most don't accept them. The best part is when Leah tries to end the relatioship with Jason. The scene shows how much Jason really does care for her and that he really,truly loves her despite what the world thinks of them. This book is incredible. It opens your eyes and gives you a real look @ how hard interracial love is. It's one of my favorites and one of the best books I've ever read. I think every interracial romance lover or a romance novel lover in general should read this.
Rating: 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: Summary: Love in Color Review: Leah Downey is a young African-American commercial artist who by fate meets Jason Horn, a cop, who also happens to be white. 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.
