Summary: This book was Pitiful
Review: This was the first book I've read by Sandra kitt. Honestly I had to skip chapters to see what she was leading up to. Which was nothing. I felt it was a waste of money.

Rating: 4 stars

Review: When I first got this book I picked it up and put it back down. Then I picked it up again and I could not put it back down, this was really a good book. It had alot of twist and turns that made the book really interesting and it keep you guessing about what is happening next. I enjoyed the book overall, I recommend it for everyone to read if you are a true reader.

Summary: Agree with several other reviewers on reality of characters.
Review: While I agree Ms. Kitt is one of the better romance writers, black or white, I was somewhat disappointed in this story. Dallas Oliver, a thirty-year old writer, gets a call from her best friend since childhood, Valerie, telling her a childhood neighbor has died and requesting she come to funeral. Dallas, who was assaulted by Nick Marco as a teen-ager, does not want to attend his funeral. Alex Marco, Nick's black sheep brother saved Dallas from that horrifying experience when he intervened on her behalf. Dallas and her family were the only African-Americans in their neighborhood and were subject to ridicue and acts of racial cruelty. Dallas suffered ridicule of her own by virtue of having a white moters, who was deceased, and a black father. She lived with her father, bother and a hard-to-please step- mother. Her former marriage and current relationship, both with black men, left a lot to be desired. She never could figure out what these men wanted from her while all she wanted was to be loved for herself. When Dallas and Alex, now a Navy SEAL, become reacquainted at Nick's funeral, all of tye memories of that period in her life are a constant reminder of not only of the incident of which Dallas has nver told Valerie, but also the adulation she has always had for Marco. Dallas considers Nick's mother, Lillian as a friend b ecause she befriended her when her son and others isolated her for being black. It appears that not only do Dallas and Marco share a secret from the past that binds them, but that Valerie also has a secret that she feels only Marco can assist her with. Marco is attracted to Valerie while at the same time is drawn to Dallas. Both women are attracted to him, Valerie throwing herself at him while Dallas is trying to fight the attraction. Soon the tension between the best friends become strained and affects the relationship Dallas has with Valerie's daughter, Megan, who is her goddaughter. Dallas and Alex come to realize that they mean a great deal to one another but along the way must contend with an interracial relationship, a philandering boyfriend, and guilt. Ms. Kitt is well know for dealing with interracial relationsips as she did in "Color of Love" and "Significant Others" and has a style of writing that keeps one's interest. However, this reviewer found it disturbing that the black men featured in this story were either dogs or cowards.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not As Good...
Review: While this book was interesting, the characters didn't pull me into the story like those in "The Color of Love" and "Close Encounters". I bought "Close Encounters" at the airport and read 150 pages on the plane. I've had to force myself to read this story. Dallas was a bit whiny and irritating after a while and I wasn't that impressed with Alex. "Between Friends" could have been a little more engaging and convincing.
