To Each Her Own: A WWBM Novella

by Sylvia Sinclair

Shasta Ann Gibson is a liberated, educated, successful executive at a broadcasting company. At 39 years old, she's never been married nor has she had kids, and her biological clock is ticking. Born and raised in the south by a conservative single father, she grew up with certain rules impressed upon her about race. While she has a very long list of what she wants in a man, being with a man who is a minority is not one of them. That is until Ramon Vaz, a charming, younger coworker who runs the mailroom, charms her into just one date. But her boss, her friend named Maya, and her father, cause problems that will either force her to run from, or run to this black man named Ramon, who might not fit the bill as far as her list, but she just might have more in common with him than she bargained for.

Wow! So I found this book so delightful in so many ways! It’s not simply smut or erotica, but there is erotica in it. It’s the story and quest of Shasta finding love. She is a beautiful, tall, thick WW that has always dated within the confines of race. Soon she meet bi-racial Ramon, and the sparks fly. But the internal issue, the hidden thing, is systematic and cultural racism that she was raised in and learning to let go of. She actually gets through it and identifies the things her father taught her about black people that is wrong.

I found myself rooting for Ramon and Shasta because they fit. Not because of race but because of love. I really hope the author hurries because I gotta read part 2!

Also, these characters are perfect! I was going to rate this a 4/5, but when I thought about the characters, specifically Shasta, I had to give it 5 stars!

Oh My My My

Sylvia Sinclair first novel dealing with interracial dating was awesome! Shasta and Maya were just the right combo of besties to broach the subject and my the choice to date the opposite race. The corporate rules and regs regarding coworkers dating, racial discrimination,and love was fabulously woven together in this good read. I thoroughly enjoyed Shasta and Ramon's humorous character. If you are looking for a read to challenge your judging books by their cover (people) ,relationships, and love life To Each Her Own is calling out to you. Read Me ,Read Me......

2.50 Stars. KUB# 59. This is an essay on the underlying animus that racism has brought to bare on romance and interracial dating between Blacks and Whites. The “romantic interludes” between Shasta and Roman and between Maya and Tyson Bain weren’t about romantic couples; they were just props used to illustrate stereotypical thinking about the sexual prowess of the males in each race as being different and Maya’s and Shasta conversations served the same purpose, they verbalized the errant thoughts on how race determines behavior. As a romance story, this book failed; but the author has every right to advance her views on the subject of interracial dating in whatever literary format she chooses...at least, she’s admitting it happens, unlike like many of the more popular writers.
