Review: This is not an IR book!!  The Cover is Misleading!
Rating: 1 out of 5

I am so disappointed because the cover of the novel clearly shows a black woman with brown eyes, yet the heroine in the book has green eyes with creamy brown skin and wavy hair.  Seriously I would have prefered the pairing of Jax and Mag but somehow the dark skinned character is a glorified bodyguard/babysitter (stereotype much).  I don't know what has happened to my favorite IR authors lately.  They have slowly but surely "lightened" the female heroines in all of their new books and now I am back to where I was in the 90s imagining that the heroine was darker and the hero did not find her appealing just because she could pass.  The current heorines all now have "good hair" lighter skin and light colored eyes.  Sorry I know that their are different shades of brown out there and yes light coloured eyes and silky smooth hair that is not a weave is possible, but when almost ALL the top authors in this genre start lightening their heroines what's the point of even having this niche anymore.  Might as well make the heroinne a Latina and be done writing about black women.  With all due respect, if you are going to write a story about a lighter colored heroine, try to match the cover so the potential buyer is not decieved even more my the vague discriptions of the heroine in the teasers.  I am not going to return the book but I am no longer religiously buying your books as soon as they come out anymore.
