Love across the classes

Society tends to frown when poorer working black man has a rich upper middle class woman as a love interest. Even more so in the black community where issues of skin colour rears its ugly prejudiced head. Kennedy - the rich girl and Malik - the orderly find love in extraordinary circumstances when Kennedy is a patient in the hospital where he works. However Kennedy being reared to please her parents find it hard to deal with their objections. Will true love win out in the end? The book deals with the subject in a entertaining but moving manner. Looking forward to the sequel about Madison the rebel sister.

Great Read!

This was a great book. Although there were times I got frustrated with some of the characters, I couldn't put it down until I finished it.

Different story line

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It's totally different from any other romance novel I've read because this one deals with prejudices that a lot of us share. We all want that man that's got a good paying job and has a nice car and all that but we always put down the Malik's of the world that's hard working even though his job isn't something that's not money making. He's someone that you want to bring home but is afraid of being judged because he's not someone of a status quo. But Malik has a big heart and he genuinly cares for Kennedy, and it's a good thing that she became blind because if she wasn't blinded by the accident I don't think that she would have given him a second glance. I think that's what we all need. Good job to the author on this one.

Vision is in the Soul...

SOUL CARESS begins with a horrific accident that robs Kennedy Daniels of her eyesight and she must endure the ominous task of rehabilitation and living without her sight. Kennedy has been on the fast track to becoming a successful financial analyst and with the support of her very elitist family, her life has been glorious. However, the accident changes her life and during her recovery she meets Malik Crawford, her orderly in the rehabilitation center. They find a common ground although their lives are totally different which Kennedy finds is part of the attraction. Malik's attraction to Kennedy is immediate and goes beyond him being her orderly. He finds he can be himself with her and vice versa. He also is very aware of their different backgrounds, but decides to ride the relationship out until it ends. When Kennedy's family discovers the relationship, they are determined to end it by any means necessary. Will Kennedy be able to stand up to her family and follow her heart? SOUL CARESS was a pleasant departure from the typical romance story where the man is rich and successful. Malik was a regular guy with a big and selfless heart. The story showcased that people cannot dictate who one should love. Kennedy's emotional growth was also amazing to witness as well as Malik's belief in his strength of being a man worthy of Kennedy's love. The characters were endearing and believable and the romance between Kennedy and Malik was beautiful. I love Shaw's ability to demonstrate, even with Kennedy's blindness she could see.
