Summary: New Author-Great Book
Review: The Color of Trouble by Dyanne Davis was a wonderful first novel. It lived up to the comments from Genesis. Though this can be termed an interracial novel, it is more the struggle of a dutiful daughter to fit the mode expected of her. After a chance encounter, she reallizes that she wasn't true to herself. I'm looking forward to Ms. Davis's next novel.

Summary: Does Love Conquer All?
Review: THE COLOR OF TROUBLE opens with a bang, as Kari Thomas is confronted with every woman's fear. She walks in on her boyfriend of several years and another woman. This woman produces photographs of herself and Jonathan in the throes of passion. But what really hurts Kari most is the fact that this woman, like her boyfriend, is white. As a couple, Kari and Jonathan have lost friends, developed strained relationships with their respective parents, and at times have taken on what seems like their entire small town because of the fact that they are involved in an interracial relationship. These difficulties, coupled with the confrontation with the "other woman" are more than the relationship can bear. We then fast forward several years. The couple has moved on with their separate lives in different states. Kari is now involved with a Black doctor named Steven, a man that her parents approve of and can help make her dreams come true without all the difficulties she faced in her prior relationship. Jonathan, on the other hand, is living for his work and the meaningless flings that occupy his personal time. When a surprising chain of events force the former couple to reestablish contact with one another, each of their lives are shaken to the core, and they both begin questioning their lives as they know it. The couple is forced to deal with issues that have lacked closure over the years, and each begin to wonder whether things are really over. Dyanne Davis has written a heartfelt story about how life circumstances can often interfere with true love. As the book progresses, readers will find themselves asking, can love conquer all? The story was heartfelt and at times full of unimaginable drama. There are plenty of lessons wrapped up in this romantic story about love, forgiveness, and what it takes to make a relationship work. The two main characters were well-rounded and written in such a way that readers could empathize with them and really understand why they made the choices they did. For balance, Davis has thrown in a few characters that readers will love to hate. Check out THE COLOR OF TROUBLE for an entertaining read about real life issues with a dramatic flair.

Summary: Wow
Review: This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I totally understood what the author was trying to accomplish. Most people believe that in an interricial relationship all of the bias comes not from the person of color but from the other side. Ms Davis has shown us that people are people regardless of color and subject to same thoughts and feelings including hatred and love. I believe that the author had a bigger meaning hidden in her story of love because it had the ring of truth. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to people of all colors.

Summary: Amazingly bad.
Review: This story, this book pays a disservice to the genre of interracial romance. The characters were underdeveloped and immature. You never knew why they were in love in the first place and questioned if it even went beyond sex and the bedroom. All around it was tacky and not worth the time, energy or money.

Summary: Rush Job
Review: This was another example of poor character and plot development. I grimace at the concept of calling this book a romance.These two people were not "in love" but rather lust. I found the behavior of both characters lacking. The best character of the entire book is the minister at the end of the novel. Don't waste your time on this one.

Summary: Wimpy Book.
Review: Wimpy herion that never made me believe she was in love with Jonathan. I never felt the connection between these two. Kara was just to undecided of which man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. If you like I/R stories like me than read one of Judith Smith-Levin books or Seressia Glass. So much better than this one.

Summary: Great Read
Review: Wonderful book, filled with emotional intensity. Ms. Davis has a strong writing style that allows the reader to experience the journey of her characters in a meaningful way. I loved every minute of this book and was rooting for Kari and Jon from the very beginning. And the ending chapter . . .spectacular!
