4.0 out of 5 stars Good to read about familiar characters, October 11, 2001

By	Zane "NY Times Bestselling Author" (Maryland) - See all my reviews

I simply loved Chocolate Star so I was extremely excited when I learned there would be a sequel. However, I wish I had read the first novel again before I picked up this one. There was such a long gap between the two and it took me awhile to remember what happened between Topaz, Germaine, Gunther, and Sean. Chocolate Affair is well-written but I would definitely advise reading Chocolate Star so that you will get more out of it. Judging by the ending, there will be a part three but I hope it comes soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Work!!!, July 9, 2003

By	Marvin Reid (Maryland) - See all my reviews

Sheila Copeland took a chance...and it worked! Her outstanding mix of themes and the weaving in God and Faith were a work of art. Her 'sista-girl' references were appropriate and especially entertaining. I completed the book in just two days.

As an author myself, I enjoyed reading a story I don't have the capacity, nor the experience to write. I have always been intrigued by the NBA and am a HUGE fan of the NY Knicks. Topaz is not unlike a woman I know VERY well; and frankly, I can't say I blame Ms. Copeland for writing her the way she did.

Overall, I give this book an enormous thumbs up! Ms. Copeland scored big with this one. Nice Sheila, Nice!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Journey...Sisterhood., April 10, 2002

By	Pamela Jarmon-Wade "Tx Red Rose" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A Chocolate Affair, paperback, 232 pages...eye catching book cover design. I was told that this book was a sequel to Chocolate Star and that it was best to read Chocolate Star first...NOT TRUE. I have not read Chocolate Star and I don't feel that it diminished the effect of a Chocolate Affair at all. Overall I enjoyed the book. There were a few areas that consisted of idle, meaningless conversation which I assumed were fillers for the Author attempting to reach a certain word count. But the four female characters' glamourously dramatic lives kept me turning those pages. It somewhat reminded me of Waiting To Exhale...with ingredients like friendship, strength, support, love, sisterhood and fine men.

The title of the book was a bit deceiving, but ever so appropriate. I won't spoil the reader's journey by revealing any more on the title. The Author has developed some quality characters who definitely come to life on the pages and in the readers' mind. The characters are all rich, exciting and very attractive.

So get this book and meet:
KEISHA- Husband plays for the NBA. Will he cheat on her? She says she is not perfect...just forgiven. She puts the pieces together to a major top secret puzzle which must be leading to the Author's third novel.

TOPAZ- Singer living in L.A. Drinks so much Cristal that she not only should own stock in it, but should put a nipple on the bottle and forget the glass. Had several failed relationships before realizing that the first one should have been the keeper. Will she win him back?

NINA- Aspiring writer. Received engagement ring from man that she doesn't love. Will she marry him anyway? Will she get a book deal? This girl's life is full of suprises.

JADE- Artist and wife of a great NBA player. Gorgeous, but dealing with some serious issues such as low self-esteem. Will she sabotage her perfect life and marriage?
