Customer Reviews

Loved

I have read this book over 3 times and I loved it. The main characters were likeable and kept my interest I will say that Jamal did over do it with the hating the other race and Nicks mother was a curve ball but all in all a great read.

A Twist of Fate

Life was great for Camille King until tragedy blindsided her. In the blink of an eye, she became a grieving widow, however, there is hope for Camille. A few years before, her husband had preserved his sperm at a fertility clinic. Now, she can still fulfill one of her dreams by conceiving her husband's baby. Now, she is going to have part of him. Misfortune happened to be something Nicholas Cardoneaux also knew. After many years of him and his wife trying to have a baby, their dream was always trampled with one miscarriage after another. Nicholas had lost all hope of ever having a child after his wife divorced him. That is, until he receives a call from the fertility clinic where he and his wife went before they lost their last unborn child. Because of an error by a technician, Nicholas' dream still has a chance of becoming reality after he meets the mother of his future child, Camille King. However, things were not as simple as they seem because of major problems blocking Nicholas and Camille's path to true blissfulness--race, money, and most of all disapproving family members. Will this couple overcome their obstacles or is a baby, all they have between them? A Twist of Fate is a highly emotional novel that made this reader take a step back and think. This is something that could really happen to anyone...even me. I applaud author, Beverly Clark, for writing such a wonderful, heartwarming, interracial story; although, there were a few moments where I thought that the issues were a little too predictable. Overall, I was very pleased with this book. Ms. Clark definitely displayed a touching, somewhat surprising plot filled with many twist and turns that enthralled my interested until the very end. The love scenes between Nicholas and Camille, while tastefully written, didn't have heavy eroticism in them. A Twist of Fate is an excellent book that I would recommend to all fans of interracial romance, or even those who just want a good intense read. Nikita Steele Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

One for your collection.

I have read this one twice already. It's really great. Ms. Clark does a great job of connecting the reader to the reality of the issues in the story. You really feel the things the characters are going through. Pick this one up.

Unrealistic, but I loved it

I disagree with those who called the book trach. It wasn't very realistic, but the story was entirely too sweet. Nicholas truly loved Camille and the dialogue was passionate. The love scenes were steamy-- I truly enjoyed it.

A Twist Of Fate

I totally disagree with the previous reviews. While the production was not great, most books are never perfect and some things are left to style. The plot and writing of this experienced writer was phenominal. I truly enjoyed the relationship that developed and then was risked by the two main characters. I don't see how anyone could write such a terrible review. Genesis Press is the only African-American owed book publisher regularly putting out books for a genre most publishers considered ignorable. I would hope you would share your reviews with Genesis instead of just knocking them. If you won't buy anymore of their books, I'll buy your part! I love them and Beverly Clark. I suggest other books by Beverly Clark.
