Incredible Work!!!

Sheila Copeland took a chance...and it worked! Her outstanding mix of themes and the weaving in God and Faith were a work of art. Her 'sista-girl' references were appropriate and especially entertaining. I completed the book in just two days. As an author myself, I enjoyed reading a story I don't have the capacity, nor the experience to write. I have always been intrigued by the NBA and am a HUGE fan of the NY Knicks. Topaz is not unlike a woman I know VERY well; and frankly, I can't say I blame Ms. Copeland for writing her the way she did. Overall, I give this book an enormous thumbs up! Ms. Copeland scored big with this one. Nice Sheila, Nice!

This Book Is Off The Hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a really great book. It took me about two weeks to read and that was only because I didn't have a lot of time on my hands because otherwise I would have read this book in 3 days because it was just that good. Keisha's a houswife with what seems to be perfect life and a perfect husband and 5-year-old daughter, she's gorgeous and seemed to be very sure of herself. Her husband Eric plays in the NBA and got drafted to the LA Lakers so they moved the family out west to LA. Then there is Topaz, the beauty-queen singer with a gorgeous little daughter. Topaz is still in love with her ex-lover who took their son and wouldn't let her see him.When Keisha unexpectedly comes to town to live, Topaz is happy that she now has a good friend with her in town besides her cousin. When Keisha comes to town Topaz takes that oppourtunity to ask her friend for help to get her and her ex-lover Germain back together. Now ther is Jade. Jade is a lovely-looking woman of Japanese and Black decent, she is a wonderful artist who owns her own art gallery and is married to ex-NBA basketball star Sean "Sylk", she is a bit depressed about the fact that she has gotten pregnant too soon into their marriage and after the baby is born Sean and hers relationship takes a turn for the worst.In the beginning Jade doesn't like Topaz and Topaz doesn't like Jade, but in the end you'll see Jade was right all along and had good reason not to like Topaz at all. Lastly.... Nina, the beautiful,sexy cousin of the diva superstar, Topaz,says she will never get married, but then her man Jamil gives her an engagement ring. What will Nina do? This book takes you on many different encounters but nothing compairs to the big climax and you won't want to miss what happens between two of the main characters that could effect the lives of ALL the characters in the book...........but only if they all knew......... You can only find out what happens when you read this off the hook book. This story will take you on a ride once all the characters lives intertwine with one another,you won't believe this ending, it'll definately leave you wanting more! READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!

Phenomenal!

This was by far one of the most entertaining and extraordinary books I'd read in a long time. I didn't even know there was a prequel, Chocolate Star, until several months later. Chocolate Affair was positive, yet realistic in the sense that it portrayed people who try hard to do the right thing, but make life shattering wrong decisions. I read this book in less than two days while working two jobs 16 hours a day! The first couple of chapters are a little slow, but the book gains exhilerating momentum and doesn't stop! I am praying that there will be another follow up to this book because THE ENDING LEAVES YOU SUSPENDED IN DISBELIEF...there HAS to be another book. Otherwise, I'll be mad.

Definitely a Great Book!!!

When I bought A Chocolate Affair, I had never read a book by an African American author. It was so good now I have a whole collection of them!!!Although I did not read the first book Chocolate Star, this book was still a great read. This book let's us take a look at Keisha, the loving house wife married to a basketball superstar, Jade, a striving artist who is also married to a basketball superstar, Topaz, a recording artist, and Nina, a sexy woman filled with energy. All of these women take their turns learning about love and all of the things that come with love. It has some scandalous things in here too, but I can't tell you everthing that happened. This book is a must read. I am so glad I picked this book up!!!

Great Follow-On!

Ms. Copeland got down! She really surprised me with her development of the characters from Chocolate Star. I was most amazed at Jade. Of course, Topaz, never surprises me. She is still crazy as ever. I REALLY enjoyed this book. It was easy and fun to read. I was so caught up that when I got to the end I was mad because I finished. OK Ms. Copeland, what's going to happen next? I am on the edge of my seat. All readers of Chocolate Star run out and get this book. New readers of Ms. Copeland, go get BOTH!! You will not be disappointed. The Delta Diva Readers, Norfolk, VA love you and support you Ms. Copeland!!!!
