Though I did like the interracial love aspect. Not only did I not care about them, I found them far fetched and the dialogue down right silly. Try Francis Raye or Brenda Jackson for much better African American romance novels. I realize that romance novels are a form of escapism, but this one left me disinterested. The characters are not well developed at all.
Carter and Khela had other issues to deal with, so race was never really brought up.I would highly recommend reading this book if you are a fan of romance novels. Fix-It tells the love story of Khela Halliday, a famous romance novelist, and Carter Radcliffe, Khela's building super. Through it all, Carter and Khela manage to overcome their insecurities and discover a love for one another that is so strong and intense, they are both shocked yet intrigued and completely overtaken. Carter has always received, in some instances too much, attention from women and never felt comfortable with the oogles and stares he receives because of his good looks.
I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. I couldn't put the book down and finished it in one day. I've read other interracial romances before and I have to say that it was refreshing to read a story in which race did NOT play a major role or was the source of conflict and drama. Fix-It by Crystal Hubbard.
Khela, on the other hand, is distrustful of men coming into her life because of her money. This is the type of story that makes you believe in the fairytale romance that Carter and Khela found in one another. Mr. At first their relationship starts off as a business agreement when Khela asks Carter to accompany her to a convention because she needs arm candy.
HUBBARD I LIKED THIS BOOK BUT IT DID NOT HAVE THE PUNCH AS HER OTHER BOOKS IT COULD HAVE USED A LOT MORE LOVE SCENES BUT GOOD STORY ESPECIALLY WITH HER BEING A ROMANCE WRITER WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE IN LOVE HOW IRONIC BUT I WILL STILL BUY ANTHING FROM MRS.
Khela comes from a busted home where her mother died from drug use and her father is incarcerated and doesn't know anything about her. Thre are some really good funny parts and some sad parts. Enter handyman Carter Radcliffe.Carter is a good ol' Alabama boy who has had the good fortune of being able to coast through life on his good looks. This book came out before Obama was elected president but Khela exemplifies Obama's ideas of helping others to make the world a better place. You can have fortune and fame and it won't mean a thing if you don't have love in your life.
She uses her popularity and her books to bring attention and money to the causes she believes in.Khela wants Carter to use his gifts to make the world better too and as they grow closer, Carter comes to see that he loves Khela because she brings out the best in him.This book has some great lines especially the ones heading each chapter that are excerpts from Khela's books. Until he gets involved with Khela, who's been a tenant in his building for three years. (I would love to read a Khela Halliday book). All in all, this is a very good romance. Khela was raised by an elderly couple who adopted her. She came from nothing and found a niche to thrive in.Carter did too because he got a high school scholarship and college scholarships to play football.
Writing about love is what got author Khela Halliday her fortune and fame, and even though she's a master at writing about love and romance, she has none in her own life. Carter agrees to be Khela's date for a weekend writer's convention where Khela receives an award for being a positive voice for romance. He was in investments for a short time but the second he made it rich, he sort of just sat back and started taking care of his buildings. All Khela wants is someone to love who'll love her back just as fierce. Khela, even though she is fictional, is a good role model because she's an example of someone who worked to get where she is. We really get to see how much Khela has and this counterpoint is great because Khela knows that she really doesn't have anything that matters because she doesn't have love in her life.I noticed that some other reviewers think this book is about class differences but I didn't see that.
He's a hard working man but he doesn't seem to have much ambition. The award makes Khela feel like a big hyprocrite because her books make people believe in a kind of love that she doesn't think really exists.This author gives great details about the high life in Boston.
This book was just weird for me. I loved Crystal Hubbard's, The Crush, so I was expecting this book to be really good, but it wasn't. I didn't like the female character at all and the only good thing about the book,(the part that I did get through) was the male lead,Carter. I was very disappointed in this book. I couldn't even finish reading it, because it was so boring.
