I love Kristen Ashley books. I literally go through withdrawals when I have not read one of her books in a while. I go back into my library and read an "oldie but goodie". I love the long books because I really get to know the characters. Going back to the neighborhood and reading about Joe and Vi was the best treat and I love Cheryl. I cannot wait to read about her.Benny and Frankie were so cute together. I loved their chemistry. I have to agree with some reviews about Frankie.  I wish Ms. Ashley could have given her as little more spunk. I pictured big hair, flashy clothes and attitude. I wanted attitude. Ashley made Frankie too forgiving.My other point and I have had this issue for a while. I am begging you Ms. Ashley. Please stop portraying African American women in your books with this stereotyped language and character. I do not have any African American friends who speak that way. There is nothing different between the way African American women speak than Vi or Frankie or anyone other character. I am African American and you have a great following but this is the one thing that could loose me as a fan. I cannot take it anymore. I give the book 4 stars for those two issues.
