Summary: A Great Story!!!!!
Review: This was absolutely a wonderful story! I must add that the models on the cover that actually matched the characters was definitely a plus! I enjoyed the story so much that I have read it twice (so far)!! I can't wait to read about the other Grayson's. I love the respect they have for their mother, who is meddlesome, but loving, and obviously wants to see her children happy. This was my first book by Ms. Ray and I quickly went out and purchased her previous books.I hope we hear more from Luke and Catherine's unfinished story. Will they adopt?!! You, Ms. Ray, have found yourself a #1 Fan!! I'm anxiously awaiting the BET movie, Incognito!!

Summary: Dug it .Really.
Review: While I really dug this book and the characters I have one complaint. As a dark skinned black woman my hope was to finally read a book that celebrated the beautiful and varied hues of blackness. Instead what I found was one hue. One type for love (caramel, light coffee) and one hue for the help (dark ebony). As an ebony woman I would like Ms. Ray to know that I am worthy of being loved by a strong brother. That I too am worthy of being cherished and adored. There are many men who prefer a deeper hued woman. As a professional non domestic it disturbed me to see so may stereotypes embraced in Ms. Ray's books. She is however a very good storyteller and I would rather read about a light skinned sister than no sister at all. I just think that as a black woman herself , Ms. Ray should be more aware.
