Best of Friends

To love and marry your best fried ----- a dream come true. Although Ramon is convinced in the beginning that he and Mariah should take their friendship to the next level, Mariah thinks that as lovers, her and Ramon's friendship will suffer. To use a well-weathered cliche, love conquers all. "Best of Friends" is a poignant love story between two friends. The characters are well-developed and believable. The story line is chocked full of romance and passion. A good read. Continued Success to Ms. Dunbar.

Ok, this was a first by Dunbar and it seems to me the girl's got talent. I fell in love with the plot of the story, truly a classic! Mariah and Ramon had sparks flying everywhere, it's a wonder what took them so long to figure it out! And that Ramon was something else. An African American/Puerto Rican mix,some might even change their standards after reading about Ramon! A must read!

I could not put the book down! It demanded my attention until I was finished, and when I did finish I wanted to read another one by this same author. The story line was juicy and the characters vivid, although the main character took entirely too long to act on her feelings for Ramon. The scene descriptions were very, very alive and realistic. It is a must-read.

The age old question, could a man and woman just be friends? Mariah and Ramon were good friends. They were there for each other through thick and thin. Ramon helped Mariah cope with some downfalls in her life. He also held a secret that he loved her more than just a friend.Natalie did a good job with showing the relationship between Mariah and Ramon. Although I felt it drag a little with Mariah trying to figure out what her true feelings for Ramon. The secondary characters also help bring the book together with another issue of interracial relationships. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it.

Congratulations Natalie Dunbar for an outstanding first novel. Best friends Ramon Richards and Mariah McCleary show us in their story how love can spark right among the best of friends. Ramon shows his support and love for Mariah after her fiancee decides to get cold feet. But the moment Ramon finally gets courage to express his true feelings to Mariah, her fears kick in and she finds it extrememly difficult to accept his expressions of love. But anyone reading this story will appreciate how well Ms Dunbar uses her talent in developing the love between Mariah and Ramon, along with the minor storylines of the secretary, the designer and the trail that Ramon is involved with all adds to a great story. Overall I enjoyed the entire book and look forward to many more by this author.
