First, I want to Congratulate Ms. Henry for elevating the status of the inter-racial romance genre. Your novel read like a well written "main stream "novel, without all the histrionics of a "Jerry Springer's episode". Thank you for using smart words and not treating the fans of this genre to a novel filled with Ebonics.  Kudos to you for allowing the characters to speak like the educated and successful people they are supposed to be.Your novel kept me on pins and needles with toe curling laughter, and hot- tears streaming down my face. The story of "child abuse" is such a hard pill, but you flip the switch and showed survival as well.  The journey that you have taken us on was amazing. Just when I was about to hate Hope for her vile act against Jason, you threw her an olive branch by allowing us a glimpse of Steve's thoughts.... "That Jason did not know the factors that had shaped Hope into the woman that she had become". This simple act has allowed me to withhold judgment on Hope until you elucidate further.Sometimes when a hero and heroine find love too quickly; as a reader, I often think that is not the real world, but I did not have to reach that conclusion. You used the hero, and heroine to acknowledge my concerns and you use them to shape my conclusion (very cleaver). I too, had to therefore acknowledge, that even though rear, some people do find love at first tryst. I love the fact that the heroine had a great sense of humor, her personality shone through the pages; it made sense that the hero would be so drawn to her. Thanks for also making her "real". I love the fact that she accepted the hero's credit card to go on her shopping spree without false pretenses, apologies or guilt. .. That was awesome! Also, I must thank the heroine for that "hand Job" instruction - wink, wink... I have to try that on my hubby.I am very happy, that I did not pass on your novel because this book has a great plot ... humor, hot sex, hate, love,  pain , revenge, and everything  to make this thriller  into at the very least - a trilogy. Also, I found your book under the multicultural section. You need to speak to Amazon, and get it listed under the interracial section as well. A small note to readers, Ms. Henry is a British writer so some of the words she used are words often used in Britain and the Caribbean and not necessarily in America, for e.g. an American would use the word angry, whereas a British or Caribbean national would use the word vex.Well Ms. Henry, you have left us a major cliff hanger, where our heroine is in danger, but base on what we now know about the hero and his re-connected family, there is going to be hell to pay. I cannot wait for your next installment. Welcome to the inter-racial genre Ms. Henry... If your next installment continues like this, I will say, that you are on your way to a wonderful ride.PS- I have to warn you that people, who read interracial romance novels, are very impatient when it comes to series. We will hound you for the next installment, but please do not let our impatience cause you to water down the product just to please us. Quality over Quantity always!!!!
