I adore the book, I had to take some time to warm up to Vicky, but I loved "Jackson" from the first. Let's not talk about Grandpa Jack. He's a doll. I just loved him. D.A. I enjoyed Victoria, she is a strong heroine and didn't come across as the stereotypical black female character a lot of authors are using now. Thank you for allowing me to read your book. J.A.H. Wow, this is a romantic love story that was worth reading. Can't wait to see what else you are working on. D.R. This was my first interracial romance black women white men.
