Nothing Else Matters
HE STOLE HER HEART AT SIXTEEN.
On a lunchtime visit to her father’s office, Camille Bromwell sees her father’s new business partner, Zachary Cadbury-Taylor stride masterfully into the building and falls head over heels for the tall, dark-haired, gray-eyed hunk.
GAVE HER A BRIEF TASTE OF HEAVEN AT EIGHTEEN.
The day after her eighteenth birthday, she sneaks around to the office to tell him how she feels about him. He tells her that she’s too young for him, tells her to find someone of her own age. But, not before giving her a little prelude of how wonderful it would be if she was his woman.
AND STAKES HIS CLAIM ON HER AT TWENTY-THREE.
The only thing standing between their happiness is her beloved father. He strongly disapproves of interracial marriage having been once bitten himself. His heart condition is an added complication. It’s impossible for her to please both of the men in her life: making one happy could kill the other. She knows that Zachary won’t wait forever, but can she risk everything to prove to him that nothing else matters but their love?

I'm a British writer who has always been fascinated by the concept of true love transcending the boundaries of race and colour. I like to touch on some of the issues each couple faces on their journey to their HEA in a fairly light-handed way that provokes thought but hopefully doesn't detract from readers' enjoyment - after all, most are looking for romantic escape, not political debate.
My stories are set in London and have a British flavour, but as the vast majority of my readers so far have been American, I've tried to accommodate them by using American English in my books where possible. The British also read a lot of American literature and have become accustomed to both spellings.

Repetitive
The love story between Camille and Zachary had potential. The age gap as well as the differences in social status could have led to some drama. Instead the story was never fully developed. Entire pages seemed to have been copied and pasted and lastly Ernest (Camille’s dad) took far too much space in the book. At times I wondered if the book was about him.
Some things didn’t make sense either. The whole investment that Zach made might sound generous but in fact it made no business sense. Lastly, the one time that the author could have redeemed Camille’s character, at the end when she discovered that her father lied about his illness, she didn’t. Camille kept being a whiny brat complaining about how Zachary didn’t pounce on her 18 year old self. Instead she should have thanked him for being a man, mature enough to see how it wasn’t the right time for them then. She still hasn’t matured enough at 23 as 1/ she should have never put Zachary in the situation of sneaking around like a teenager (she never apologized for that) and 2/she should have boundaries in place with her dad. To think she was prepared to let Zach go so she didn’t upset her dad.
Basically, I couldn’t really see the love story, a tryst yes but no more. They didn’t do anything together, they didn’t talk about anything. To be honest, Dominique’s story, told in a few pages, was more interesting to me.

Romance Readers Steer Clear
An editor was needed to stop this droning muddled and cluttered assaulted to readers! When I purchase a romance book I want romance and some heat. Both were missing in the most obvious of ways. I want a connection between the two characters. There was none!
The bulk of this book was about the father and not the the supposedly main characters. I didn’t need or want to know about her lowlife father with his petty, two-faced, archaic way of thinking. The reader didn’t care! An editor could have sliced and diced this book into something passable!

Excellent
I loved this book. I loved the romance between Camille and Zachary. However what I loved even more was the realism of the story. The book touched on the obessession that humans have on mixed relationship and the racism within black families as to skin tones and hair textures. The author woved everything together so well that the story deserved a 5 star.
