The cover of this book is totally misleading. It gives the impression that the book revolves around an interracial couple.
What a crock.
The dialogue in the book is so herky jerky in its floetry that I was left wondering what and who the characters were and how they came together.
The main characters are not interracial.
Okay, let me be honest I am not sure who the main characters are suppose to be and to be honest, at this point I really don't care.
This book is a frustrating read.
This is one of the worst editing jobs I have ever been exposed to in my life. I have not even gotten halfway thru the book and it is going back to the store.
If you in anyway value your sanity DO NOT buy this book.
I wish someone had reviewed this book before I wasted my money.
I gave it one star because it seems no stars was not an option.

The book is boring, no focus. Where was the excitement in the book, the romance and sex. I did not even believe they where in love and the book was not about one couple but two.

I was very excited to see that Harlequin was crossing the barrier and getting hip by publishing a book that featured an interracial couple, Kris and Tom. Unfortunately, this book was a disappointment. Two stories were being told simultaneously but the book focused more on Jill Ferrell and Scott Randall's interaction (both white), which was a lot more interesting than the interracial couple's relationship.

Jill and Scott's romance had more depth; whereas, Kris and Tom's relationship seemed too shallow and the author completely skipped over the beginning of the relationship of "how they got together"... we are told right away that Kris is in love with Tom....how boring!

I was excited to see an interracial book in this series but now that i read it I wish I did'nt. first of it really tells two storys but not one of them with any depth the author swicthes from one story two another kind of abruptly.She does not really describe the charecters to well I don't know what they really look like and I did not know their motovation for being together. It was a bad book all around take my advice If you want to read this book check it out at the library. :(

I've been a big fan of some of Eva Rutland's earlier works. This story seeks to address a current trend of writing about interracial (IR) relationships.

This story focuses on two couples - Kris & Tom and Jill & Scott. The story of the couple not depicted on the cover (Jill & Scott) is more interesting than that of the interracial "lead" of the story. This books lacks some of the basics to a good read...it fails to build or sustain an interest in the characters who are the supposed main storyline and the main couple of the book lack an intrinsic chemistry.

For a good book featuring an interracial story, try others such as "At Last" by Lisa Riley. You will get a more satisfying read for your dollar.

I was really looking forward to this book. The wonderful cover and blurb completely misled me. This author completely failed to develop the characters and relationships in this book. I didn't care about these people or their stories. Nothing happens that would be of interest to anyone. No excitement in the story. No depth in the writing. I wish I had spent NO cash for this utterly horrible read.

Absolutely, the worst. I am an avid reader of interracial romance and this book was the absolute worse. The author should take pointers from the writing of other interracial authors to see how it is done. Please someone ask the publisher to scrap this book and ban it from future sale. Yeeech!

This was the first book I read by this author and my last. I was so bored by the third page. There is no fire or heat in this book.

I love Eva Rutland but this novel was a total disappointment. I had such high hopes for this book, having heard about it last year and it was eagerly anticipated.

Honestly, I felt shortchanged - Kris and Tom (the couple shown on the cover of the book) seemed to be nothing more than window dressing. There was no depth or breadth to their characters. The book spent more time on the developing relationship between Jill and Scott - Kris' best friend.

I didn't really care that the sensuality level wasn't high - because anyone who had read Ms. Rutland's books in the past know that isn't her forte. However, there wasn't even the slightest hint of erotic tension between Kris and Tom.

The only reason I give this book a '3' is for Harlequin finally understanding that interracial marriages are a fact of life and all women want to read a GOOD story about such love. I also give this book a '3' because I like Eva Rutland.
