1: Enjoyable Read but...
I really enjoyed this story and the twists and turns it took but can we get an interracial story where the AA woman is not made to be white. What about the beautiful browner sisters. I am not hating on our lighter sisters, but can we get SOME balance! Also, a pet peeve for me: false advertising - when the cover does not match the story. The light-skinned sister, with the long auburn hair did not mirror the sister on the cover who was dark-skinned with dreds.

2: I'll Be Your Shelter
LOVED IT. Maybe one of the best books that I have ever read. Everything was just tied together so well. This book read like a movie in my mind. I could see Blake and Jillian as they fault not only to stay alive, but for their love as well.

3: Dark-skinned women?
While I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thought it was well-written, what I did not like was how the main character (Jillian) was depicted. Almost every interracial romance book that I've read depicts the heroine as nearly white. Jillian is described as having a honey-roasted complexion with a mop of long auburn-colored/sandy-brown hair (p. 28/p. 14) that flows down her back and across her shoulders (p. 14). Jillian sounds like a white woman with a good tan, rather than a African-American woman. Why is it that the authors of these books can't have a main character that looks like Alek Wek, or at least like the girl that is displayed on the cover of the book??

4: A True Gem
Harrison was one sexy cop, just the way I like my men, sexy and brooding. He and Jillian had great chemistry and the story flowed well.
I guess after watching all these mystery movies I kind of become an expert, I figured out how the head bad guy was from the very beginning. I was just so in love with Harrison, what a hero.

5: GREAT! GREAT!
This was a book worth the money. The characters and the book really flowed. A wonderful read, don't pass this one up/
