For me this was a refreshing story. Not based on the subject matter, but based on the fact that this was not your same old same old IR romance. This is a story about a man and a woman falling in love despite their differences. Our H, Bobby Jack, has been indoctrinated in hate his entire life. His father a local klansman has no love for people of color. His extended family does not either. Bobby Jack ends up doing time for a robbery and leaves behind a pregnant girlfriend. On the day of his release from prison all he wants is to get back to said lady and child and start his life anew. Enter Whit, the h of this story. Whit is a black woman trying to get by with a heart of gold. She befriends Jessi, the girlfriend and helps her with her son.  Well jessi is arrested and going to jail and Whit ends up with custody.For me this was a good read but there were so many things I would have loved to see expanded on. Bobby Jack's struggle in the only views he knows and how he overcame them. Whits struggle loving a man that was her friends baby daddy and Racist. There was also the question of baby Issac's paternity and Bobby Jack's family role in it. I would have like to have seen a little more but at the end of the day it was nice to read something different.
