Acclaimed for her moving depictions of interracial love, best-selling author Sandra Kitt delivers a passionate and provocative tale of modern romance.
An artist trapped in an unfulfilling relationship, Leah Downey wants more out of life. But she plays it safe, never venturing too far from her comfort zone... not since the night she was mugged at knifepoint. Beginning a relationship with a perfect stranger is completely out of character for Leah. But something about Jason Horn strikes a chord deep within her. They couldn’t be more different. Jason is white, a streetwise New York cop haunted by his own demons. He’s stunned by his instant attraction to this vibrant black woman who arouses both desire and his fiercest protective instincts.

It is so very nice to read a story about a subject so close to my heart.
This read was hard from a racial stand and must have been set in the late eighties or early nineties based on the references of the Vietnam War.
So I imagine things were slightly harder for interracial couples. But the fundamental issues are still there and I love overcomes and remains colorblind

I am completely flabbergasted with the relationship between Leah and Gail. The fight and anger she showed Jason, should have been same fight she provided her sister and ex. The sheer fact that they can openly be involved in front of her truly taints this romance for me
I do like the realistic nature of adults dating. I was angry with how Jason pulled away but it is realistic.

The story touches on a number of real issues such as the fear and suspicion and distrust in the black community towards the police, as well as the fraternity of brotherhood within the police force and the challenges of relationships that cross racial and society's boundaries. The characters were well developed, especially the main protagonists and some of the supporting characters; they were very realistic and the manner in which they dealt with the challenges were believable. I'm talking about the very real feel of such scenarios as: the rejection by Leah's family of her relationship with Jason, the reaction of certain police at the Precint who were against the interracial relationship, Jason's own bad habits when dealing with black perpetrators, the reaction of Jason and Leah's close friends, many many scenes that were so realistic about black-white relationships.
I think it was good that the writer tried to show that even within the police force there were some good cops, like Jason, who tried to make a difference and help the youth who had a chance at turning their lives around. This is a positive point in that it shows there is another side to the police/black community drama. The narrator, Angela Starling was excellent!
I also liked that the heroine was educated, smart and successful, a good portrayal a black women in society and why not?
Likewise, I liked that Jason was mature, confident, sincere, didn't waste time in stating what he wanted and had a kind heart. These two people were well matched in my opinion.
What I did not like was Leah's insecurities, and her submissiveness to her sister Gail. At one point I also got tired of Leah's second guessing her relationship with Jason, even though I understand it. Kudos to Jason for being persistent in his courtship of Leah. I also thought that more editing needed to be done, because the writing was choppy in places because it did not flow in terms of going from one scene to the next, so the timeline, flow and rhythm was disruptive in some parts for me.
My final thoughts that I got from this story are that people are complex and love is color blind, therefore such love can develop and flourish in the most unlikely circumstances between the most unlikely persons and be successful.
I would recommend this book, and also look to see what else this author has written. Her insight, and talent for portraying the hearts of her characters is amazing. Well done.
