White Chocolate, A Must Read!

After Taylor James places a group of White Supremacists behind bars, her news anchoring career skyrockets! She's engaged to Philip, who is twenty years her senior and is trying to gain his stepfather's approval by acquiring extra stations for the family business. She feels her and Philip belong together since she's an outcast biracially, and he's the bastard of the family. When Julian, her childhood sweetheart, is hired at her news station, she's furious! Sparks fly and as Taylor and Julian fall in love again. Danger lurks when the Supremacists are released from prison. This book is full of real characters that are well developed. You'll keep turning those pages until you reach the end.

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE!!!

After reading the first couple of pages in this book I was most definitely hooked! It was a wake up call to the real side of racial prejudice and hate towards minorities and people of biracial ethnicity. Taylor, a biracial television journalist, who looks white is threatened by a White Supremacist group after she poses as a would be member and brings down the organization. Once the members are released from prison their main objective is to destroy Taylor.After a ten year separation in walks the man that Taylor loved more than any one else, Julian also biracial and a television journalist has returned to reclaim the love they once shared . One problem, Taylor is now engaged and scheduled to marry the owner of the television station they both now work for. Philip , Taylor's fiancee has a few deep dark secrets that brings the story to an explosive confrontation between him and Taylor, and later him and Julian. The daring prison escape of the White supremacist was one no one could have anticipated but was so explosive that it had me holding my breath.The story was very well written and the love scenes between Taylor and Julian were to say the least heartstopping. The dramatic climax is what make this books worthy of Hollywood taking a read and making a movie on it.You will not want to put this book down. 350 pages was not enough! I read this book in one sitting because i could not stand to wait and see what happened next. Definitely a keeper!

gripping from start to finish

This book, White Chocolate, had me spellbound from the very first words. It has it all, suspense, intrigue, romance and the story moves along quickly. This was a fast read for me and I found myself wishing the book would just go on and on.While I was reading the book I had 2 friends take the time to read the backcover and they immediately started to read the first few pages. I had to pry the book out of their hands. Both friends definately wanted to read the book when I was finished. I can't recommend the book enough. We are an interracial family and it was especially nice to read a book specifically about interaccial families. I could only hope Ms.Atkins Bowman would continue other books using these same characters. Get the book, you won't be sorry!

I loved it!

I thought "White Chocolate" was a spectacular debut for Ms. Bowman. I first met Ms. Bowman at a Writer's Conference last year. That's what made me buy the book, and I wasn't at all disappointed.Bowman portrays Taylor as a strong female who's struggling with trying to be accepted. This book opens my eyes as to how hard multi-racial people have it in society. I think the author does a good job of displaying this. I love forward to her next book.

I stayed up all night reading this book.

I'm interested in books about multiracial folks because I myself have a black mother and a white father. I don't normally read thrillers, but I felt the social relevance of Taylor's journalistic endeavours made the book read like a movie. I visualized everything I read; Bowman has a real talent for making her words leap off the page. The images still flash through my mind. Her portrayl of biracial angst is accurate and I recommend this novel to everyone, both biracial and not.
