In the end, love knows no colour
Kari is in denial about the fact that she, as an African-American career woman, has a problem with interracial relationships, despite the fact that she was in such a relationhip with Jonathan, who is white, whilst they were at university. That ended badly much to the delight of the racist parents on both sides.

Fast forward seven years and their paths cross again. He is now a lawyer and she an accountant. He wants to know why she did not fight to save their relationship and she wants him to know that she has moved on and will be marrying her black fiancee who will give her the little brown babies that she desperately craves.

Jonathan continues to pursue her, determine to show her that she was wrong about him, wrong about their relationship, wrong about her fiancee but most of all wrong about the fact that she herself is not colour-blind and was the one with issues about him being white.

I found it difficult to like Kari and felt sorry for Jonathan who really deserves better. Kari's fiancee Steven is obnoxious as well as racist and I could not believe that Kari could not see him for what he really was. I just wanted to knock some sense into her!! Also, she was too weak willed to stand up to bullyboy Steve and her domineering parents, despite the fact that professionally she is successful and climbing the corporate ladder.

I enjoyed this book, found the lusts that still existed between Kari and Jonathan intoxicating and the author did a great job of showing how race dominated everything that Kari did, even though she was in denial about it.
