Dawn's Debut is Impressive, August 1, 2007
This review is from: Sunshine & Rain (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)
I totally enjoyed reading "Sunshine & Rain". Man did these two girls have it rough. Both girls become orphaned and forced into the sometime seedy, vile world of foster care. Luckily for them, they hit the jackpot (cha ching) when they're placed in the home of Cathy, a WGP (white ghetto princess ... LOL) with a heart of gold.
Although both are beautiful, the two are as different as night and day and they soon become friends. Sunshine, the more refined of the two, is gifted and an overachiever. Rain is sociable, courageous and madly in love with a street thug named Terrance.
Brian/Brianna would be my favorite character. He/she was too much ... way too much. LOL
Dawn's debut is fantastic. I anticipate enjoying her work for years to come.
PS Don't let the cover deter you. LOL

Uhhhmmm..., November 7, 2007
This review is from: Sunshine & Rain (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)
After reading the teaser on the back of the book, and being told that the book was good by a book store employee, I picked this one up.
The story I got was different from the one I expected. The story was mild, and I guess I expected it to be more "spicy"/"extra crispy" (?).
Both characters were surprisingly likable, although the men in the book left much to be desired. There wasn't one decent man in the entire book. The one "man" who was cool, wasn't sure if he was a man or a woman. Go figure.
This wasn't a quick read for me. I kept putting the book down and coming back days later. However, it was okay. I wouldn't suggest that anybody not buy the book. I would just caution that the story is pretty mild.

Can You Weather The Storm?, August 6, 2007
This review is from: Sunshine & Rain (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)
Picture it a cold, dreary night and you go to bed with your family intact only to wake up and find yourself in hell. Sunshine & Rain by Dawn Desiree is full of devastation, cryptic circumstances, love, betrayal and hope for a brighter day.
Meet Sunshine and Rain, two young women who are faced with turmoil and destruction when their lives are turned upside down. They are introduced to Ms. Cathy, a foster mom, who takes them in and nurtures them. She also provides them with a look into how ballers live. Growing up in poverty and dealing with their parents' battle with drugs these two become divas in the making. But how can Ms. Cathy provide them with such a lavish lifestyle on foster care funds? Ms. Cathy is hiding a secret that could send the girls spinning back to the life that they were running away from.
Can these young women resist temptation and grow up to their full potential? Will they make Ms. Cathy proud or will they fall victim to the fast life, drugs and quick money that seems to surround them? Welcome to the lives of the underdogs! Ms. Desiree introduces us into the lives of two separate women who are forced into foster care, and the outcome is nothing short of amazing.
I recommend this book to everyone who loves fast-paced, racy novels. You will not be able to put this one down.
