Jaycee Hanson has been fantasizing about fellow classmate Tyler Johnson for what seems like forever. She doesn't know if he's interested in white women but an accidental touch confirms the attraction is definitely mutual. When they face opposition to their budding interracial relationship the couple has to decide if it is worth the struggle.

This was a sweet and sexy read. Jaycee is so easy to relate to, after all who hasn't daydreamed about some hottie at work or at school? Tyler is a perfect hero, all sexy and macho with an underlying sentimentality. Oh yeah and did I mention he wears a uniform? We all love a man in a uniform. The sexual chemistry is smoking hot and the love scenes are incendiary and not gratuitous. I enjoyed the fact that their connection went beyond the physical. The secondary characters are surprisingly well developed for such a short story and I'd love to see some of them get their very own adventures. I loved the fact that the heroine was white and our hero black as I find most interracial stories are the opposite. This is a good choice if you like your stories with emotion and eroticism and a subtle humor.
