4.0 out of 5 stars
A hot and sexy romance,
This review is from: Red Sky (Indigo Love Spectrum) (Mass Market Paperback)
Justine Roberts-Paretti is a photojournalist with a fearless, adventurous and inquisitive spirit. It is her sense of adventure and her love of the Native American culture and artifacts that leads her to Gallup, New Mexico, for the Intertribal Ceremonial Powwow-- and into the arms of one Darrius Red Sky. Darrius is the tall and sexy owner of Red Sky Jewelers. His sexy good looks, unlimited knowledge of his culture and his mystic combine to make him irresistible to Justine. Can Darrius tame Justine's fearlessness, or will her inquisitive spirit lead her to her death?
Justine has known since she was a child that she wanted to be a photographer, and has let anything deter her from her goal. When she meets Darrius she realizes that she has never known what it's like to be loved by her soul mate. Darrius, who posses' some psychic abilities, has been praying to the elders and the universe for answers regarding his life and his soul mate. He is taken aback by Justine's beauty the moment she enters his store. Justine and Darrius are two independent and successful people who both need to learn the meaning of compromise. Both have to learn to overcome past hurts and fears, and learn to embrace each other's stubbornness. Justine's best-friend and Darrius' twin help them to realize what is really important in their lives. RED SKY is a beautiful and historical trip through the Native American culture. Ms. Alexis does a great job weaving the Native American culture, customs, romance and beauty together. Justine and Darrius are characters the reader is able to relate too and love. The majority of the story takes place in New Mexico, along the famous Route 66, and the surrounding mountain ranges. If you love a hot and sexy romance you will love Darrius and Justine's story Reviewed by Marguerite [...]

Disappointed!,

This review is from: Red Sky (Indigo Love Spectrum) (Mass Market Paperback)
With all the good reviews this has received, I keep thinking that I got the wrong version of Red Sky! I had such high hopes for this book. My friend and I had been eagerly waiting for it to be released. Unfortunately, Red sky let me down. Darrius and Justine seemed to have no chemistry for the first 3/4 of the novel, but somehow they were in love. The writing didn't convey the chemistry they supposedly had. Also, the dialogue was over the top, and unrealistic (especially, the milk me line on page 113). A great deal of Darrius' dialogue seemed based on exagerated native american stereotypes. The earth, wind, and sky talk was overused.
Really the only part I somewhat enjoyed was the last 60 pages. It was like it was written by a different author. The author was able to articulate the chemsitry the characters had in the last few pages, but it was too late to save the book. It is so rare to have an African American woman and Native American man pairing, so I was disappointed that it was not done well. The author did a good job discussing parts of Native culture, but overused the stereotypes in the dialogue. If you want to see real chemistry between a native man and a african american woman read Come with Me by J.S. Hawley, Seduction Westmoreland Style by Brenda Jackson, or some of the Francis Ray books. But, this...I cannot recommend.

Enchanting Love,

This review is from: Red Sky (Indigo Love Spectrum) (Mass Market Paperback)
Justine Roberts-Paretti had the most exciting career of traveling around the country as a photojournalist. She put a lot of energy into her work and teaching children about art so she wouldn't think about her non-existing love life.
Justine's assignment was to photograph the annual Intertribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup, New Mexico. She always displayed a deep interest in the Indian culture, of their arts and handicrafts and was looking forward to covering this assignment. Throughout her travels around the country on assignments, Justine always searched for a special bracelet she wanted and at last her search ended at Red Sky Jewelers. When Darrius Red Sky, owner of Red Sky Jewelers first saw Justine it was in his dreams. He knows the spirit of the Indians brought her to his store and she was more beautiful in person than in his dreams. When their eyes met, it was love at first sight. Justine found the bracelet she's been searching for and a man that will love her unconditionally. Darrius enjoyed Justine's passion in learning the Indian culture, that he became her personal guide. Each moment they were together the fire within them grew stronger and stronger. However they both were cautious due to bad past relationships. But the burning desire and hunger was stronger than the both of them and the nights of heated passions began I enjoyed reading RED SKY. The author use of colorful descriptive words, made it easy for me to imagine the characters, places and events that took place in the book. The love scenes were tender and written with taste. The only minor drawback was the story was too long, but it didn't deter me from finishing the book. Reviewed by Sharon Lewis of The RAWSISTAZ (tm) Reviewers
