Rating:  Summary: mh! mh! good Review: ... I bought the first print of SE about a year ago and I loved it, so when I find out that Miss Campbell was coming out with a reprint of the book and more of the story I just had to have it. I tell you this if you are a novice reader like myself or even a bookworm the hot and sexy story and the real life drama in this book is for you. This book is a must have, a perfect gift.
Rating:  Summary: Smiling faces tell lies Review: Are you able to look inside yourself and accept who you see? Miguel, a Hispanic brotha with sexy eyes has questions about himself that he's afraid to answer. He has been in Florida over six years, sharing a house with his childhood friend Hector. At first glance you see best friends looking out for each other, but a more penetrating look makes you wonder if they are more than that? Chyna, a young college woman from Kingston, Jamaica has mananaged to stay focused on her studies and her goals. Her burden is a personal secret which has plagued her for years, and has her still questioning who she is. Chyna meets Miguel at a party and the vibes are so strong, she feels much like a deer who is startled by the beams of headlights. Their meeting surprises them both, and it changes their lives. Denise Campbell's freshman novel SPANISH EYES, exposes personal demons, hidden sexual desires and broken relationships, as the two main characters flow in and out of each others lives. They tentatively reach for the elusive brass ring, but the weight of lies and deceit is weighing them down. The secondary characters bring their own issues, yet they play significant roles as Chyna and Miguel struggle to adapt to different cultures and different sexual standards. Minor deterrents for me were how the writer transitioned from one scene to another, and the saturation of descriptive adjectives. Still, SPANISH EYES is a wonderful beginning and Ms. Campbell writes with a vibrant voice. Her venture into the literary world should produce much success....

Rating:  Summary: Downlow Message Review: Book with a messege...that's what this is. Exposing men who are on the downlow. Ms. Campbell is a serious writer giving serious messages. My hope is that she gets a serious editor-in-chief. The book will engage your mind in the bi-racial love affair between black and hispanic. Again, Ms. Campbell puts twists in the story to capture your reading attention. I enjoy the work by this author. BOokclub will definitely discuss much from this book.

Rating:  Summary: LOUD & CLEAR Review: Both Chyna & Delia's situations teach you that safe sex is not an option but a requirement. Personal demons & lust will certainly lead you in the direction of danger. The message of what looks good to ya, may not be good for ya came across LOUD & CLEAR.
Rating:  Summary: I could not put it down Review: I loved the characters in this book. Before Spanish Eyes I did not realize how much more there was to love on all levels. This book helped to open my mind to homoxsexual relationships and helped me to understand issues regarding that from the character's point of view. I could not put this book down. when It was over I almost cried. I hope he author will see this review and consider doing a sequal to this book. Her characters are real, vivid and three dimentional. I praise Spanish Eyes.
Rating:  Summary: WOW! Review: If only I read this book when I was a bite a younger. It is a must read for anyone who think they are old enough to have sex. I couldn't put the book down. This book took a life of it's own, it has the same twist and turns of everyday life. If your into waht's real this is the book about you. Well done Ms Campbell.Can't wait for your next one.

Spanish Eyes, interesting story will keep you wondering what is going to happen next until the climaxing end - one that will leave you breathless!
Rating:  Summary: Hot hot hot not your typical everyday novel Review: this book is amazing. It is filled with twists and turns. Just when I thought I had a handle on the story something happens to trip me up. I love the fact that Denise Campbell was able to build the characters to the point that I felt like I knew them personally. I was emotionally drawn into the characters problems before I knew it. I was on an emotional roller coaster and I couldnt get enough. I didnt wnat to know what was going to happen in the end yet I couldnt put it down. This book is wonderful and I recommend it highly
