Great anthology!,
By Huntress Reviews (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Playing With Matches (Mass Market Paperback)
Romancing Rose by Cathy Yardley leads off with the story of a young woman whose grandmother is determined that she not forget her Oriental heritage. In a bargain to get the old lady off her back for a year, Rose takes a course in her culture, and is in for a huge surprise. She never wanted to fall for an Oriental man, but love does not always do what we want. Katherine Greyle's contribution DRAGON FOR DINNER, brings her Regency comedic flair to the modern world. Su Ling does her best to be a rebel, even bringing home what she thinks is a motorcycle riding bad boy for dinner just to shock her family. Mitch is not what he seems, and both are about to learn how to prioritize family and love. THE SPICE BAZAAR moves to Indian culture and gives Sarbeeha Johnson a great start to her career. Arranged marriages and deceptions prove to be quite a tangle for a young couple. Finally, Karen Harbaugh concludes in LOVE.COM, and two young people with match making parents learn what love means. ***** Normally, multi cultural romance means that the hero and heroine will be African American, and once in a while, Hispanic. There are, however, other cultures, and this collection of stories sheds new light on the Oriental one, with emphasis on those of mixed race. *****

Newspaper book review-Playing With Matches--The Spice Bazaar,
By shireen joanna (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Playing With Matches (Mass Market Paperback)
..."While Ms. Johnson's story (THE SPICE BAZAAR) blends in with the others in the anthology by way of the generally formulaic plot and the theme of love overcoming all, the author's authentic rendering of colorful details, in an easy, readable style plunge the reader into the complicated web of expatriate Indian society, still (and perhaps forever), clinging to everything Indian that even Indians back home are eager to shed. Ms. Johnson brings to vivid life the whole Indian community as plans for Nalini's wedding speed up and relatives arrive from around the world. Nalini, now in Chicago and Lokesh at the Spice Bazaar pine for the love that must die for duty. The story has all the ingredients of a suspense-filled romance and the reader is kept guessing the fate of the lovers upto the last page." "The book will entertain on a rainy afternoon
