5.0 out of 5 stars Too Good!!!!, September 9, 2000

By	B. J. Woodbury (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is something after you read one novel by an author, they deliver the second book and its just as excellent as the first. In case you have not read any books written by Ms Andrews, do so right now and its okay to read them out of order.

I strongly recommend this book if not for the sole purpose of education. This plot that was developed is one that makes you stop and consider the type of products you use, because there could possibly be a hidden agenda involved with them.

That is the case for this story, as an attorney named, Danithia Gilberts takes on a case representing a client who is a victim of clinical testing. The hero, who is a security officer (so we thought) named Alexander, "Alex" Powers enters the picture. From the moment he enters, this story starts moving at such a rapid speed, you keep turning the pages not wanting to put the book down. Yes, my fellow romance readers, once again it is one of those kinds of books. It is full of suspense, danger, betrayal, lies, deceit, lots of intimacy and shockers. After I finished reading this book, I told myself no more skin creams for me, when you read this book you'll find out why I'm saying this to you.

I had to check and see if this was a for-real story because it sure leaves you with so much to consider to reasons why some products are developed. It's like a Hidden Agenda that is hiding in the background waiting to attack you.

Well, now that I've stirred everyone up to read this book, I strongly recommend you adding this to your list of to-read books.

Since this is my second book for Ms Andrews, I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next. I hope we don't have to wait long????

4.0 out of 5 stars Lighter Shade of Brown, January 16, 2001

By	SC (Chula Vista) - See all my reviews

I finished the book within two days. It simply intrigued me. Though the book was decidedly a romance, it also touched on a subject most complex and tabu. I found the characters to be well developed and delightful. I also liked the pace of the story. It's a good book that I believe most readers of ethnic romance would find enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful!, August 15, 2000

By	Tracy Price-Thompson - See all my reviews

I met Vicki Andrews during the Black Writers Reunion and Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, and was fortunate enough to get a signed copy of Lighter Shade of Brown. As one who seldom reads romance, I was immediately captivated by the strong voice of her characters and the real-life situations they encountered. Written with tight and concise dialogue, Lighter Shade of Brown was peppered with plot twists and rising tension and I could not put it down until I read the last word. It was truly a literary delight!
