Description

Meet Fire--Jamaican-born, charming, poetic, and talented--a man who's vowed to never have fun "love-is-blind" games again. Then he meets Sylvia, a stunning magazine editor who keeps her passions under lock and key. Mutually they must select between the love in their lives and the love of their lives.

From the galleries of Soho to the brownstones of Brooklyn, from the nightclubs of London to the streets of Kingston, Jamaica, Channer takes us on a wild, soul-searching ride as Fire and Sylvia try to connect, disconnect, and reconnect amid conflicting desires and wounds from the past. But throughout intricate love triangles, skewed priorities, and crushing personal tragedies, Fire, Sylvia, and their friends must study this some things in life are worth fighting for. If not, you're just waiting in vain.

Customer Reviews

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Loved it   2009-10-25
By K. Thomas (Detroit, MI)
The way I judge a book is simple. It's not always about whether or not the characters as a whole are completely believable or realistic (I.E. Fire who's character isn't totally realistic but he fit this novel perfectly), although in some books that matters more than others. Also,it doesn't always have to be something I personally can relate to. I judge a book on whether or not I can get into the characters and their personalities and relationships.

I definitely got that from this book. I felt for the characters, sympathized with them, got mad at them, wanted them to make certain decisions and envisioned them in my mind like they were real people. If I can read a book that paints a picture in my mind that clear, so clear that the characters seem real to me during the time I'm reading it then I've gotten everything I wanted.

This book delivers the goods. I loved it!
Customer rating is 5 of 5  A story worth waiting for!   2008-06-25
By Michael J. Carter (Asheville, NC United States)
What a story! What a writer! I could not put this book down. Colin Channer is a talent. I cannot wait to read his next adventure.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Excellent read, horrible cover!   2007-12-11
By Deneice Jones (College Park, MD)
The book was well written, great humor and very relatable for anyone who has ever been in love or would like to be. The only thing is that the cover does not give the book any justice. At first glance you would think its one of those trashy romance novels, however its about more than romance, its about true love and the romance behind it.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent novel; a poetic work of art   2007-05-16
By Catherine Swain (Rapid City, South Dakota)
This novel was a soulful journey. It connects with the reality of relationships and with all of its struggles and triumph. I was drawn into the characters from the opening page. He tells this tale with a poetic spin. His words unfold beautifully and each character takes on a life of its own. I think readers will find a little bit of themselves in this book. I loved it!
Customer rating is 5 of 5  SIMPLY WONDERFUL   2007-02-28
By HEAVENLY (Winston - Salem, NC)
This book is a beautiful experience. It is one of the most passionate and real books that I have ever read. I couldn't put it down and I wish that it was longer. The emotions of the characters are so strong that they leap off of the page. This book makes you want to go out and fall in love and hope that you experience half the passion and true love that these characters experience.
