Summary: Love from the past returns
Comment: Kari Thomas hasn't been honest to herself for the last seven years. As a black woman, Kari believes being prejudice can't be a part of her personality. Kari doesn't believe she broke up with Jonathan Steele because of his white skin color. She also ignores that she's engaged to the successful, handsome, black doctor, Steven Anderson, because her parents approve of him. Steven can give her the beautiful brown skinned babies, Jonathan wouldn't ever been able to give her.
Jonathan Steele is a successful lawyer finally happy with his life and career. He isn't looking for love, nor does he want it. Kari Thomas ruined him of that emotion a long time ago. Kari Thomas and Jonathan Steele think their paths will never cross again. But Kari defaulting on a business debt brings Jonathan back into her life. Can they both overcome their past and find love again? Or is their love gone forever?
Dyanne Davis' writing style in THE COLOR OF TROUBLE, is superb. A very compelling and well-written book, Ms. Davis is able to bring her readers into the romance of the story without any problems. Her characters are well thought out and very realistic. Every emotion Kari feels from the hurt, anger and shock, the reader is right there with her. Hurt is Kari realizes she still loves Jonathan, but has to marry Steven to please her parents. She is angry at her parents for never understanding her love for Jonathan or accepting him as a part of her life. The last emotion I enjoyed feeling along with Kari is the shock when she realizes that seven years ago she did leave Jonathan because of his color skin. It is truly a pleasure to enjoy the writing style of Dyanne Davis. She has a gift for the written word.
I treasured Dyanne Davis', THE COLOR OF TROUBLE, a very vivid portrayal about interracial love. THE COLOR OF TROUBLE explores the trials and tribulations an interracial couple has to face. Kari, a young African American woman, struggles with wanting the love, respect, and approval of her parents. She is willing to stay with her fiance, Steven Anderson, a man who is supposed to make her life complete, to make them happy. Yet, Kari battles with herself because she is still in love with Jonathan Steele, her first love. Kari wonders how she can feel so empty, lost and alone at a time in her life when everything seems so perfect.

Summary: The Color of Love
Comment: As you have read from the other reviews: this book is about Keri and Jon and their romance that dies when his mother and her parents plot against them.
Fast forward several years later and Jon is suing Keri after she gets mixed up in a resort scheme.
She decides to fight back and they come face to face again. They both want closure though he is more honest about why he wants to see her again.
But Keri is engaged to Steven and he has got MAJOR ISSUES on several fronts: interracial relationships between black women and white men, independent women and "pure" children.
Keri refuses to see these issues and convinces herself that she is not and never was a bigot (she had a relationship with Jon, didn't she?).
That is the crux of the story. The problems are these: several of the characters were not well developed. Keri was WEAK in big, block, capital letters; so much so that on several occassions I wanted to throw the book across the room. And you are being asked to believe in this day and age there would be this much angst between lovers in this situation.
But mostly, you are forced to ask yourself, "WHY?"
Why is she even bothering to look back if all she wants are those brown babies, and why is she not with some other black man, other than the idiot Steven and lastly why is she still listening to her folks when they have done so much damage?
Read this if you want to see what all the mixed reviews are about, but don't say you weren't warned!

Summary: Rush Job
Comment: This was another example of poor character and plot development. I grimace at the concept of calling this book a romance.These two people were not "in love" but rather lust. I found the behavior of both characters lacking. The best character of the entire book is the minister at the end of the novel. Don't waste your time on this one.
