Kara’s Song by Patricia Lowell is a ninety-one page erotic romance written in third person, past tense. It has thirteen chapters and an author bio at the end. At first I did not think I would like the story, it was played up as a big black man going into an uppity white neighborhood but luckily the story steered clear of racism and I actually liked it. Lowell had well thought out back stories that drew sympathy (for both leads). The pacing was good, kept me turning the pages and I liked the short chapters.Astrid Kara Fagerberg was in her thirties, widowed and hitting the bottle hard. Her son, Chris, graduates from high school and has his friend, Jamal Jackson, show up to help him move. This is where the story begins. The leads work through their flaws and complement each other making for a unique relationship. I finished the book in one sitting.
