This story was full of diverse characters, friendships, a terrific plot, a beautiful cover and so much more. I have personally never read anything by this author before but after reading this one. I will be on the lookout for more. Their writing style was unique, their character development was terrific, and overall the story was amazing. Full of a hopless romantic, a jerk the size of Texas, and friends that will do anything to protect each other this book was impossible to put down.

Raye – Review by stephanie nicole
This was an enjoyable and engaging novel about true friendship and the obstacles that can get in the way of that friendship. Melody, Imani, and Lance are three college friends, who are either searching for true love, NFL fame or a successful engineering career. Melody is the naive romantic one, who’s aim is to find true love whilst at college, just like her parents did, but is she willing to sacrifice her soul to find it. Imani, is at college to gain a chemical engineering degree and is aiming for good grades, but will she miss out on the friendship that could offer her more. Lance is serious about his football and protecting his girls, and his protection is needed when a threat appears and tests more than their friendship. When Melody meets Kevin, she thinks she’s found true love, but will her quest for love endanger not only her life but that of her friends. I liked all three of the main characters, who are very likeable and relatable, and the dynamic between the friends rings true, with the dialogue between them feeling very natural. I liked how the book is written with all three of them having a voice and telling the story from their own points of view. I thought the prologue gave away a bit too much of the storyline, which took away some of the suspense for me, but it didn’t stop me from happily turning the pages. The storyline deals with some difficult themes, but does so sensitively. I felt immersed in the friends world and I look forward to the next two books in this trilogy.

5 Stars The Colors of Friendship (The Colors Trilogy Book 1) by K.R. Raye
The Colors of Friendship is the first book in The Colors Trilogy. I honestly wasn’t sure quite what to expect going in but once I started reading I had a hard time putting it down. There are some things that may be a trigger for some as there is some scenes with Domestic violence. This is a fairly new author to me and I definitely plan to check out what other books they have written. This authors style of writing along with amazing characters make for a fun yet emotional ride. This is a story about Melody,Imani and Lance these three meet at college and click. Melody is the romantic type and wants to be like her parents and find her true love while in college. Imani is the non nonsense type and she wants yo obtain a Engineering degree while obtaining good grades. Then there’s Lance and he’s all about protecting his girls f and of course football. These three are all opposite yet there friendship means everything. When Melody gets in a situation will Lance be able to save her before it’s too late? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author and this Trilogy.

Raye – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
I enjoyed this story. The author does an amazing job with the characters making them all unique and relatable. Each character has their own downfalls as well as their strengths. The main focus of this story seems to be the relationship between Melody and Kevin. Their relationship seems perfect and to hopless romantic Melody is everything she wants. But things aren’t what they seem and Kevin isn’t really Prince Charming. Their story struck a nerve with me as I have been in a relationship similar but I got out very fast. The story is hard to read in the way that Kevin manipulates her and tries to distance her from her friends so she has no one. I’m glad that her friends Imani and Lance are strong characters and that they are behind her even when she thinks they are interfering. This book covers all things students do, parties, studying for their futures, relationships both good and bad, and shows that the bonds of friendship can overcome anything even when at times it seems like it can’t.

Raye – Review by Kerry Carr
This book was an interesting yet enjoyable read. It explores friendship in all forms and the bonds that tie people together. Imani, Melody, and Lance were all great characters. The connection between them all and the support for each other and the situations they encounter are all very relatable. Melody was the romantic trying to find love and herself. Imani was career oriented but still trying to find things she wanted in her life. Lance was the football star who liked women, but still understood the importance of friendship. Together their story is somewhat intense, but all around relatable in some way shape or form. Book 1 for this series was a great start

I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. I did not think I could feel so much from reading a book. But with this one, I did just that! The book had a wonderful flow of pace I found, as well as the story line really brought you down a road that makes you think as well as wonder. Loved it!
This book very much showed its colors as I read. I felt so much and was very emotionally attached to the characters as I read! I enjoyed reading about the group of friends, and what their lives entail as well as bring to them. I really felt connected to the characters. Like it hit me, really hard. Especially with Melody, I related to her so much with her life choices and the position she was in. Reading her story really hit me deep within my heart, as I felt I once was in the exact position. I cannot say how important it was for me to read the story of Melody and her friends and how much they cared about her. I felt deep emotions, but as much as they were intense, they were beautiful as well! Loved the writing! Loved this book for so many reasons!
This is a book I am going to recommend to anyone and everyone. For sure one that should be read. And the first book in a series, so better yet! I cannot wait to continue reading this series and see where the next installments of books take me! Highly recommend this book! No doubt, it is a must read for sure!

Raye – Review by Lorrene Huisman
This book was a pretty intense, emotional ride. Three young friends in college end up on a scary adventure noone really wants to be on. Lance is sowing his oats. Imani is just trying to decide what she wants and her plan. She doesn’t even know that Trevor is in love with her. Melody, naive and believing in romantic fairy tales, is preyed upon by a controlling abusive boyfriend. Her friends are just trying to watch out for her. Who will she believe? This stuff breaks up friendships. Can they survive this. You have got to read this book. It’s one of the best fiction books I’ve read this year. This maybe a trigger for some. I could relate to all three, especially Melody, as I’ve had my share of those relationships in my younger years. This is one of those stories where you feel what they feel all the way to your soul. Melody is basing her view of romance off her parents marriage. Not naive, just not a realistic picture. She puts herself in danger and yet doesn’t listen when her friends are pointing out red flags. Imani and Lance are great friends who place themselves right there in dangers way when required. The plot was well-written with twists where needed. I found it to be very realistic but also inspiriting because her friends wouldn’t give up. The characters are very well-developed. It was nice to get a look into the families over the summer. Keeping the mystery of Kevin was a nice touch. The detective in me wants to know more about who he is. Great story, I’m looking forward to finishing the series.

Raye – Review by Shelly Kittell
I don’t know where to begin. This whole time whilst reading this novel I was thinking that something was going on between Melody and Kevin, even more sinister than what really happens, though I will not give anything away. This author truly had my mind running around in circles, wondering what was going to happen next. I thoroughly love the kinship that the three of them share, being Imani, Lance, and Melody, certainly one to be cherished, as chosen family is so special in so many ways.
I did feel like this novel seemed to go on a little longer than it needed to, as I did find myself thinking that this is where the climatic part was, and this is where it was going to be, and so on. I do find this to be a common occurrence within the pages of a first installment, taking away from holding my breath at times. The pressures pressed upon us by other scenarios and expectations as we enter adulthood are made very apparent in this novel, which I applaud. I will be reading the rest of the series and looking forward to getting to know the other characters more intimately. Well done!

Raye – Review by Amy Brennan
Trigger warning – there is domestic violence/an abusive relationship.
Lance, Imani and Melody meet and instantly click. The Colors of Friendship is about friendship, watching the characters grow as individuals and become besties. It is about their journey through good times and bad times and times that will test their friendship.
Lance wants to have fun and is our resident sports jock and any lady will do man and makes no apologies but he would do anything for his two besties.
Imani is sassy, sarcastic and serious about her study and loyal friend. She had me laughing at her banter.
Melody is naïve and a fairy tale romantic at heart and sees the best in people leading to her falling for the biggest a’hole who is good at masking who he is. This took up most of the book which I found to be a slow read in the start but picked up near the end. I also found it hard to relate to/invest in her a lot of the time because she spent a lot of time in the clouds and wanted to shake her to wake up.
When things take a turn for the worst Melody will need her friends more than ever.

Raye
As the lieutenant of a Navy SEAL team, I deal with intense and deadly situations on a regular basis.
My drive to climb through the ranks has been an excellent cover for the pain of losing a friend in combat years ago.
But my hardened shell is empty.
When Wendy breezes into my life, my heart beats in the dark cavern of my chest for the first time since I can remember.
She’s adorable, easy to talk to, and I sense there’s more to her than the other ‘frog hogs’ whose mission in life is to tame a SEAL.
And I’m right. There’s a lot more.
She’s conned me…a guy whose reputation has been built on assessing situations and not making mistakes.
But when I tell her to take a hike, I feel a new thing in my chest, and I think it’s a broken heart. If only she hadn’t been using me, she might have been the savior I needed.
Now that I’ve run her off, can I track her down and beg her to give me a real chance?
Barbra Campbell writes dirty-sweet romance to escape the craziness of life. She believes Happily Ever Afters don’t have to be real to be powerful, and she sometimes confuses book worlds for the one she lives in…not that she lives a fairy tale by any means. But with her one true love by her side and an endless stream of book boyfriends in her head, she manages to find time to hang out with all of them.
This is the first time I have read from this author. I love a good enemies to lovers story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is a quick read but the story line will hook you. It only took me only a couple of hours to devour this amazing story.
Zennie can’t believe that someone is going to tear down her history. She is so mad at Colton Sage that she hates him but she doesn’t even know him. Zennie wants to fight to keep the plantation standing and Colton is ready to build his dream. When Zennie meets Colton she feels something she has never felt before. Will Zennie save her history or will she build a new future? Review @heatherbass
Are you ready to fall in love with Stacy-Deanne’s characters? How about ready to dive into some deep south history and hurts? If you are, then you’re in for a treat. Meet Zenni, a strong woman who stands up for her beliefs, and meet Colton a man who knows what he wants.
‘“Or change it,” a male’s voice boomed with authority, but also had a soft edge that pulled you out of the lush surroundings and made you feel at home. “That’s what I’d do.” Colton Sage came into view, those frost-blue eyes immediately hitting Zenni’s soul. “Well, you must be Zenni Parker.” His graze caressed her curves.’
You may be able to guess what their motives are both romantically and with the plantation. But better you keep your suspicions to yourself and enjoy this well written book.

A tough female lead, enemies to lovers, clash of history romance. Zenni is our female lead who is fighting for her family’s history through a slave plantation in our little Georgia town of Everwood. Colton, our male lead and trying to destroy the plantation to “break the chains” of history holding back the town. This is our conflict and throughout the book we get attraction that builds into something more. Yet held back by the single conflict that is the basis of the tie that binds our characters together. There is a lot to like about this book. The characters are strong, and the history of the plantation comes through beautifully. There is heartbreak in the past that shapes our characters that feels a little flat, but it still feels close. The scenery and setting could use a bit more fleshing out, but not so much that you don’t feel like you can almost recognize the town from an old memory. While not a “rip your heart out” love story, this one will definitely keep you rooting for our leading lady!
I just had to give this book a read when I glanced over the summary. Upon reading it, just like the characters, I had strong opinions about the plantation and the story itself until it unraveled in front of my very eyes through the lens of the characters. I surprised not only myself but the author captured different opinions with the way the characters expressed their opinions and stories but I haven’t always been a fan of BWWM and with books like these, I’ve surprisingly grown to love them. They’ve taught me lessons I can’t believe I’m still learning in life through reading about them. This book will have you questioning yourself in not just the story but in the very way everything unravels which makes this just the read to delve into during your downtime like I did.

Zenni Paker has 2 goals when going back to Everwood County and falling for Cole Sage is not one of them. She is back to assess the damage the recent hurricane did to her grandparents home. They have been gone for several years, but she wants to see what can be salvaged. When Zenni hears that Cole plans on tearing down Everwood Estate, a place that has a lot of history for her family, she is a bit upset. Cole wants to move on from the past and build townhouses on the property which would bring more revenue to the city. Can they possibly come to a compromise?
Zenni has one goal. Colton has one goal. They are not the same In this short cute read we follow the story of enemies to lovers. Can two people really overcome all the obstacles? Can two people both chasing a goal different from each other put that aside? The author does a very good job of bringing us into the story, making us feel like we are there in Georgia in the heart of the story! This was a nice, fun, easy to read book that really made you rethink what you know!

Everwood County Plantation is the second story I’ve read written by this author. I really enjoyed her writing style in both stories. This particular story had such a good storyline. The main characters both had histories that could affect their futures. They were both pretty stubborn until they fell in love. I enjoyed reading the story. I am sad how quick I read it but if you’re looking for a good quick read this is definitely the book for you.
Zenni returns to Everwood with the intent to save the Everwood County Plantation because it is her only remaining link to her heritage. Local billionaire, Colton, has purchased the plantation and intends to destroy it. Zenni and Colton are soon at war with one another, and each will stop at nothing to get what they want. Each is intent to destroy the other at all costs in pursuit of their end goal. Neither Zenni nor Colton could predict that there would be an undeniable attraction between them that will change everything. Will Zenni and Colton be able to put aside their hatred of one another over the fate of the Everwood County Plantation? Will they be able to deny the chemistry between them?
This book was a quick and enjoyable read. I loved the characters of Zenni and Colton and found myself rooting for each one for different reasons. Zenni is feisty, smart, and determined. She is a woman on a mission who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Colton might have money to throw around, but Zenni proves to be a worthy adversary. Colton comes across at first as a ruthless billionaire who is used to winning and getting what he wants. Then we learn that Colton also has very personal reasons for wanting the plantation destroyed which makes the reader look at him in a whole new light. I had to keep reading to see what the fate of the plantation would be and who would win the battle of wills between Zenni and Colton. Of course, I also had to see if either Zenni or Colton would let themselves admit the attraction to the other and pursue a relationship. Great read!

Zenni feels like she has lost nearly every piece that connects her to her past. When she finds out the plantation where her ancestors were slaves was set to be destroyed, she did not hesitate to go and try to save it. When Zenni met Colton, she realized he was more than determined to destroy the plantation and stopping him would be next to impossible. Little did she know there was more to him than met the eye.
Colton felt sparks when he met Zenni. Though he put on a strong front, he wanted nothing more than to get to know her. Could he get to know her and follow through with the plans to destroy a part of his past? This was a beautiful story of personal growth and coming together.
This was such a fast read. I loved the storyline and the characters that tie it together. I really wanted more! I would have loved to have more pages in this story so I could just get more of the characters and their world. I was a little sad when it moved so fast and ended so quick. I will definitely be reading more by this author.

This is a short story that I absolutely loved reading. Once I started reading there was no stopping until I finished. I only wish there was more. I loved this romance read but some parts felt a bit rushed and once the story got going things evened out. The author does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life and keeping your attention. The chemistry between them is fire. Find out what happens between Zenni and Colton as there fight over the Plantation turns into much more than either one ever expected. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

The only thing that would have made this book better would be for it to have been longer! I love the passion and fire in the characters. Zenni is so strong and knows what she wants. Colton is frustrating and head strong. This is such a sweet fast paced romance. Awesome writing style and will definitely be reading more from this author!
Everwood Plantation is a quick and fun read for lovers of the enemies to lovers trope. Zenni is a florist trying to stop the demolition of the plantation her family is from, by billionaire Colton Sage. I liked the banter between the two characters. It was definitely entertaining. I do think that the characters could use some fleshing out. She’s selfish and he’s immature which meant I found it difficult to root for them. It’s hard to root for a couple when you don’t really feel a connection to either character. That being said, I think this book is a quick and fun read for people that love romance. Enjoy!

Everwood County Plantation: BWWM Enemies-to-Lovers Billionaire Romance was the first I’ve read by Stacy-Deanne. This short romance story was a quick read for me and I could not put it down. The chemistry buildup between the two main characters, billionaire Colton and florist Zenni, at first was quite a bit of arrogance between the two, but that quickly turns into a hot, steamy romance. They both feel something, but aren’t sure due to the fact that they are rivals on the matter of tearing down the Everwood plantation. Zenni feels that this plantation is her livelihood and her connection to her family’s past will be destroyed if the plantation is torn down, on the other hand, Colton wants to destroy the plantation and remove the physical reminder of the pain and suffering of the people who were enslaved there. Because of this, Zenni and Colton struggle to see that they have a strong and loving connection all because of the plantation’s history. Will they be able to connect for good, or is the plantation going to get in the way of their relationship? Read and find out!

Very well written love story. This story could fall in several genres, BWWM, enemies to lovers, billionaire romance. From different walks of life, Zenni and Colton are very different but can they find a way to overcome the past and find their way to one another? Quick read.
really enjoyed the characters in this book. They are both very strong and know what they want. Even though this was a short read it didn’t lack in detail or feel rushed alot ought I’d of preferred a longer book. Zenni and billionaire Colton Sage disagree over what is happening to the planntion as its a connection to her past she feels very passionate about it. Fighting amongst themselves they can’t help but feel a mutual attraction.
First read by author Stacy-Deanne, however it won’t be my last! Super quick read—finished in less than 2hrs. Romance at its best! The characters were endearing and affable, while sizzling with sexual tension and desire. I loved their love-hate relationship, and was thoroughly rooting for them to end up together, showing us that happily ever after really does exist.
Zenni returned to Everwood County from Chicago after her grandparents home was destroyed to sift through the rubble and attempt to try to stop local billionaire, Colton Sage, from tearing down the plantation that had meant so much to her and her family. Coming off a bad break up and no real ties to the Windy City, aside from her BFF, Vanessa, Zenni thought the change of pace would do her well. Sparks fly between Zenni and Colton from the very first encounter, however both are so bull headed that neither on will back down from their stance on the future of the the plantation. Could the two of them really set aside their differences and give love a chance? Colton has never met any one like Zenni and he is willing to do anything to give their live a shot—except give in about the future of the plantation.

This story is a very quick read and it draws you in from the first chapter. You will understand each of Colton and Zenni’s reasons for wanting the plantation. The love that they try to deny throughout the book is super cute. It’s the rich guy that wants to tear it down and the girl that feels it’s the last memories she has of her family. This book does touch on slavery and shows you two completely different views on it. One is pain and suffering, the other is trying to preserve the history. The angst that the characters feel for each other is felt throughout the book. It is such a sweet burn romance. The book has you constantly asking who will prevail and if so will they be able to love each other. Can they put their differences aside and make the best of the situation and have a happily ever after? These questions are what kept me turning the page. It will be a fast, interesting, slow burn romance read that you didn’t know you needed until you finish it.

I am glad I picked up this book to read, it was so good!!! When we first meet both Zenni and Colton, I was intrigued how this story would play out. I loved Zenni’s character and how strong and determined she was, and trying to fight for what was right in her mind and for her family. Zenni meets Colton and tries to put up a fight to not destroy a plantation that her ancestors were part of……but Colton has reasons…..and the more you read into this story the author really sheds a light on both characters on to keeping a piece of history to remain standing that was not a good part of our history, but yet learn from or destroy the plantation because of the bad that was part of it. Can Colton and Zenni’s love for each other the more they get to know each other overcome their differences in what to do about the plantation?
The author told a great story on two different people whom come together and have different perspectives over a historical plantation … this story was so good!
This was definitely a quick, easy read. The characters are depicted beautifully as is the scene descriptions, especially those of the plantation.While I did enjoy this book I craved more conflict, more tension, and more passion.
We meet Zenni first who returns to her family’s hometown to assess and repair the damage done to her grandparents house from a previous hurricane. While there she catches wind of Colton Sage’s plans to tear down the Everwood Plantation which is a personal part of Zenni’s family history. As the fighting continues putting them into close proximity it seems the feelings they share are not only deep but meaningful and intimate. Can Zenni and Colton get over their own selfish ways to find their happily ever after? Or will they let the past ruin any type of future they might have?
A very quick read, with a simple to follow storyline. If you like romance novels this is a fairly good read and you would most likely enjoy this novel. I know I enjoyed it, I would just like a little more depth to the situations Zenni and Colton faced, both together and separate!
