4.0 out of 5 stars How IRONIC indeed! , May 28, 2006

By	H. Legette-Hill "tigasinamon2" (New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We first meet TJ in Fate. He's the one who causes Vanessa to break it off with Scott. Apparently he's been causing havoc for everyone since then. It is befitting that on his way to stop his cousin from making the biggest mistake of her life and marrying outside her race, his plane crashes, and who should save him. Teresa Lewis, the cousin of the family he has made his mission to terrorize. Although when he awakens he has no idea who he is and he is suffering from temporary blindness. He forms an attachment to the kind and loving Teresa, who by the way is a Nurse. She reads to him, ironically, about the black history of the Tuskegee Airmen which she is researching for a books she is writting. She doesn't know who he is either and of course she hopes that he isn't the man who looks angry on his DMV license, or the man who has the "White Power, White race" card in his wallet. At time I thought it was funny, and wondered how Ms. Starr was going to get this family to forgive this man, how Teresa was going to feel when he got his memory back, which he does. In the end he does the right thing. Though I thought it was so funny that he falls in love with a black woman and a member of the family he has treated so awfully. We meet up for a moment with all the previous characters briefly. I thought this was a great story that tied up all of her books in this series. Very nice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Sequel, May 13, 2006

By	Divisionred "Avid Book Reader" (Boston) - See all my reviews

I thought that this book wrapped up the stories in this series rather well. The antagonist TJ finally got his comeuppance only to be redeemed in the end. The story starts off with TJ piloting a plane to stop his cousin Cassie from marrying Daniel. In his pursuit he crashes the plane in the mountains and is rescued by Teresa Lewis who is in the mountains to write a history book on black Americans in Aviation. TJ has amnesia, badly burned and has lost his eye sight. The couple is stranded in the mountains due to a late season snow storm. Teresa is a nurse by trade so she nurses him back to health and they fall in love. The excitement begins when he starts to have flash backs and he realizes that Teresa is part of the Lewis clan that he has been harrassing. Great story.

4.0 out of 5 stars WAY TO END A GREAT SERIES!, July 13, 2006

By	Sassafras "The Sassy Book Lover Extraordinaire" (Midwest) - See all my reviews

This was an excellent series featuring interracial couples (BW/WM and WW/BM). This last offering was a bit far-fetched to me, but then again, that's what makes it so "ironic." I loved it, although it could have had a bit more descriptive lovemaking scenes in it.

My only real pet peeve was not with the book or Ms. Starr's exceptional writing. It was with the TIMING of the releases!!! I bought Fate (Book 1) when it was first released in 2001 (and had no idea it was the first in a series). I really had to struggle to remember Vanessa & Scott's story and TJ's involvement.

My suggestion---buy all of the books in the series or read several within the same time frame. That way you won't have to wrack your brains trying to remember. The book (Ironic) did briefly cover some of things that happened to former main characters in the previous books, but not enough for me---they remained a distant memory for me. I'll probably end up reading them again to fully appreciate how they come together.

Ms. Starr---please, please, please continue to write in your unique wonderful way more interracial (IR) romances.
