Review: Desire and Prejudice
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 29, 2013
Jean-Louis McMillan`s latest book, ``Desire and Prejudice`` follows two people, Adam and Jasmine, and their love for one another. They are connected through separate traumatic events in their lives that have given way to PTSD. Despite this and the fact that they work together and are from tw overy different backgrounds, they forge ahead with their illicit affair. McMillan skillfully describes their ``love at first sight`` moment in the French embassy and then proceeds to steadily lead us into their quickly burgeoning relationship. They have both been hurt in many ways, but they cannot help themselves. There is an exciting twist to the book that I did not see coming. A little mix of thriller with romance! I do not want to give too much away, so download the book to find out!I gave this novel 4 stars instead of 5 because I think it could probably stand one more look over from an editor. There were not any major errors that would detract the reader from the story, but it would help for an overall, polished look. For example, there is a gripping scene in which Adam escapes the bombings in Beirut and we follow him minute by minute. At one point it is 6:36am and then I thought we were travelling back in time to 6:30am, but the 6:30am events happened after the 6:36am events.This is an overall good read for contemporary romance readers who enjoy scenes out of America (in this case, the Middle East) and interracial romance.
