I really enjoyed this first novel by Ms. Henry. It's rare to find a good, romance novel about a biracial couple that's atypical and worth the read. This definitely is. The beginning of the book was a bit challenging because it was a decidely goofy and odd first meeting for a romantic H/h. However as the story evolved the main characters had very interesting backstories and were increasingly put into engrossing and suspenseful situations that enhanced the overall book. The book also had something I really enjoy if I can find it in a romance novel (or in a person for that matter) and that's a sense of humor. The cliffhanger, while frustrating, only because I was enjoying the book, seemed necessary. The author clearly had so many possibilities for expanding the number of characters and the storylines that she couldn't possibly fit it all in one book. I for one am looking forward to hearing more about the Kingdom Brothers: Josh & Jake, as well as Carlos & MacKenzie, Aviva's "first" (the mysterious perfume maker), Steve, and even Hope. Let's hope that Ms. Henry is busy working on the sequel.
