The Blacker the Berry
"For Love's Sake Only"
The last thing Charlotte Sane expects to find at a Rodeo is her dream man, but even she can't deny the instant attraction that leads her straight into the arms of a handsome cowboy named Ty Wilcox. The two have nothing in common. Nothing except insane, inexplicable, but undeniable desire.
Ty knows from the instant they first kiss that he an

I loved the heroine, Tamara, right from page one. You see, all-the-authors-that-can't-produce-a-half-decent-herione-if-their-life-depended-on-it, this is how it's done! Woot woot!
“No, later.” Tamara lowered her voice to a mock whisper. “When the stinky boys aren’t around.”
“Oh, that’s easy.” Charlotte glanced up at her husband and batted her eyes. “Honey, poof. Be gone.” Heeeheee! Hee. ._.

I didn’t let my mind settled before I was opening up this follow up book to FOR LOVE SAKE ONLY and from page one I was immersed. The two main characters in THE BLACKER THE BERRY really stepped up to the plate and make me see them as individuals rather than extensions of Ty and Charlotte.

I am new to Lena Matthews books, but The Blacker the Berry was so good that I am a new fan.
I liked Ty and Charlotte story in For Love's Sake. It was a sweet story but a bit quick.
Russell and Tamara's story was my favorite. I loved the dialogue between these two characters and I could felt the romance. I especially like the fact that the characters were well developed and I felt I got a chance to get to know them. Additionally she dealt lightly with the issue of race without beating it ...more

This was a pretty good story as well. The was the sequel to for Love Sake Only. This book like the first was charming and funny. The main characters were very likable and not over the top. I love the fact that the women in this story was dark skinned and full figured. I also love the fact she also knew she was beautiful and sexy. She did not have low self esteem and was not out to look for someone to save her and to show her how beautiful she was. I love that she carried her weight in the ...more
Holy hilarity cliched sexy goodness! I don't know how or why I picked up this book, but once I saw the title, I couldn't NOT read it. It delivered the goods - boy meets girl, they have sexy time and somewhere in between that's not clearly marked, they fall in love.
He's a cowboy and she's a brat. And of course, there's a little blond woman in the wings trying to complicate things. LMFAO.
I wouldn't exactly recommend this book, but I enjoyed it.

I'll have to agree with the other reviewer, “The Blacker the Berry” is definitely a HIGHLY erotic, yet emotionally charged romantic treat. Tamara and Russell are a PERFECT combination and their antics throughout kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. The witty dialogue and sexually charged banter makes the story lively and at times LOL funny. There was NEVER a dull moment. Looking forward to reading more of Mrs. Matthews work.

I LOVED this book! Fabulous! And too funny. I highly recommend this book if you like two stubborn people who fight it the whole way, interracial romance and cowboy lawyers, then this is the story for you!
I'm a bit miffed to find that my ebook didn't have the other story in it. Now I definitely gotta download that one too! Looking forward to it.

The first story did not hold my attention. I found my mind wandering every other paragraph. The story was good but for someone reason it just did not grab me. The second story was a lot better. Tamara's humor pumped up the plot and kept me entertained. I also liked how the author incorporated Charlotte and Ty.
This was very much a by the numbers romance -- guy and girl meet, they have a moment of conflict, they are attracted blah blah blah. I actually did not feel the build up of romance and connection that takes a story from being an "ok, fine" romance to a "sigh, that was great" romance.
Out of all the IR romance novel i read i'm am moving this novel to number one, considering her dark desire by Charisma Knight not any more. anyway tamara was very head strong the relationships for a second though i she was wear the parts, but russell was no punks and i like the fact.Now i have to read one part of this for lover sake with charlotte and ty over all i got a good laugh and enjoy my self with novel.
I just read this book and I was so excited because I was able to get the book from my library. I already had the first book in this series (there are 2 for Loves Sake and The Blaker the Berry). I enjoyed reading the Blacker the Berry.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. Hot alpha, strong black woman, chemistry, passion, witty banter. This book had it all. This is definitely a book I'll read again.
I didn't really like this book that much, the characters seemed underdeveloped and the plot in both stories (especially the second one rushed).
i really enjoyed Tamara and Russell's story more than Charlotte and TY'S because they were both so headstrong and never knew love
I absolutely adored this book! I have read it so many times that I've lost count. In fact, I'm reading it again.
Loved the plus sized characters. That's very rare for IR. I love cowboys and the book was a wonderful read for me.
This book was so hot and full of love and passion that i read it within 3 days after my order came in.
Very funny and the chemistry between Tamara and Russell was hot!!

this was a fun title to read. interracial romance with cowboys. didn't know i liked cowboys as much. hehe. it's actually two stories. starts off with one female lead and her love interest, then the second story is her best friend and her love interest; which happens to be the best friend of love interest #1. both stories were pretty good. i preferred the first one rather than the second. definitely had some steamy moments and some comical ones as well. i just have to admit i like the interracial...more
Like the prequel to this, but LOVED this story.
Totally predictable but super cute!
Two really enjoyable short stories.
Funny and entertaining.
I wasn't quite sure about how to take Ty and Russell because they were a bit forceful towards Charlotte and Tamara. However I understand now why they were. Both stories are a great read I didn't want to put the book down
really enjoyed this
I do love a cowboy
Ok, so THIS book was amazing! I absolutely adored the story of Charlotte and Ty but I feel in love with the story of Tamara and Russell. So thank you so much, if you were one of the people who asked Lena Matthews to continue their story and thank you Lena Matthews for writing two stories that I can see myself reading over and over again. And I rarely read books more than once.
Thank you for making me want to go out and find my own cowboy!

28 May. Still can't finish this one. I've read 3 or 4 books since I took a break from this.
I rather enjoyed this book. It was a quick and simple read when I had the time to do so. I plan on reading some more by Lena Matthews. I loved the characters and I enjoyed seeing them go apart and then come back together. I would recommend this book to anyone who is into interracial romances.
