I came to the bittersweet end of this beautiful trilogy and loved everything about it. I am sad that we won’t get to hear more about Lance, Imani, and Melody, but that is the sign of a great story – when you never want it to end.

While focused mainly on Imani, we still get to see how Melody and Lance are doing in their lives and how their friendship evolves. Imani is newly married and loving life when she endures a life-changing tragedy. Lance has been MIA for quite awhile and is thinking about being part of the Three Musketeers gain, but can he deal with the strife? Melody is always the peacekeeper in the group, but can she be that way forever or will she start rocking the boat?

The characters feel incredibly real, and I am sad to be at the end of this trilogy. I will continue to pick up K.R. Raye’s books solely from the amazing writing from this series. You won’t regret reading these so go on and pick them up!

Having read and enjoyed the previous stories in this trilogy, I was looking forward to this third and final instalment, and I was not disappointed. The storyline continues from book two, so I would recommend reading this series in order. It was great being back with the three friends, Imani, Melody, and Lance, who all feel a bit like old friends to me now too! The trio have been through a lot together and like friends are supposed to, they have stuck together through thick and thin. They have always been able to depend on each other before, but when tragedy strikes, yet again, can they still depend on one another. Imani Cabrette, has always been strong and proud, and never asks for help, however, following an accident her world changes forever. Imani needs to overcome her stubborn pride, as she’s going to need help from her friends. Melody Wilkins, is sweet and dependable and owes her life to Imani, but now that it’s Imani who needs help, will Melody step forward.
Meanwhile, Lance Dunn, has not seen Imani since she chose another man over him, can he forget their complicated past, and be there for her when she needs him the most. This novel like the previous two, took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it, and I was hooked from start to finish. The three main characters, are likeable and relatable and it’s been fascinating seeing how they have all progressed and developed throughout the trilogy, individually and as a trio. Their friendship has continued throughout each story, and has always come across strongly in the narrative. This was a real page turner, and I was happily turning the pages late into the night. I definitely recommend this series, and I’m slightly disappointed that I’ve now finished the trilogy and that I won’t be back with the friends again.

The Colors of Love (Colors Trilogy, #2)The Colors of Love by K.R. Raye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in a young adult romance series. I recommend reading book 1 before getting into book 2. I didn’t and I think I would have been more involved with the characters had I done so.
This is a story of friendships and life of young adults moving through their college years. The main characters are Melody, Imani and Lance and each come with different life perspectives. There is a lot going on throughout The Colors of Love including (possible triggers): suicide, racism, domestic violence, and kidnapping.
It begins with Lance becoming a protector of his friends (and his desire with wanting to be a pro athlete) due to a traumatic experience that Melody goes through with an ex-boyfriend. Then we learn about Imani’s love life – wanting to falling love but not allowing herself to do so. She has opportunities to find the love of her life, but she seems to back them off. What does this cause? Drama! Imani’s lack of commitment to men who wanted to be committed to her drove me nutso.
A theme in this storyline was race. It becomes an issue – Imani can’t see past race in her own life, which hinders relationships.
I wasn’t sure who the story was going to be about – it seemed like Lance, but Imani jumped out as the main storyline for me. But overall, a pretty good read – and it covers a lot of important topics that young adults face in today’s world.

This is the 3rd book in the Colors Trilolgy.
This story bring to a close all the events that our 3 friends have gone through in their life’s and answers the question of whether friendship can survive any stormy waters? In this story the friends return to help and support one another yet again. But things have changed and questions are asked about whether they can be as supportive to each other as they once were.

Melody is finally happy in the relationship she has now but that relationship isn’t without its demons. With everything that’s happened in Melody’s past and dealing with the pain her partner is going through she has a lot to deal with, but when tragedy strikes one of her friends she rushes to their side but is she strong enough to shoulder all the additional pain?

Imani’s life is also on track now..she has married the love of her life and couldn’t be happier. But after a night entertaining friends her world is turned upside down after she receives a troubling phone call. Now desperately in need of some comfort and support she turns back to her two oldest friends in the world.

Finally we have Lance. He has always been the strong one. The protector of his girls. And after a brief fling with Imani that hasn’t changed. When his girls need him he will be there. However what he realises through this really trying time is that his feelings of Imani never left and that he wants her back. Talk about bad timing. How can he express his true feelings for Imani now with everything she is coping with? And if he doesn’t can’t he still be a good friend? The friend she needs to support and protect her now?

This story is one of love, friendship and discovery. Its about learning how to navigate situations with the help of your friends but we also learn how people change over the course of time and how sometimes the people we expect them to be isn’t the person that they have become.
All of the 3 stories have been emotional story’s and I’ve really enjoyed each and everyone of them

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved this book series since book one. This one was certainly no different. I love the bond these characters have and all they face and over come together. Its beautiful and magical in its own way.

This book was a strong read all the way through. Of course the drama and stuff the characters face were heart wrenching as well as heart warming at the same time. A character faced something I would think we all dread. But the awesome people you have by your side really can make a difference. That is what this bond was. They stuck together and worked through stuff, it was powerful. A really good read. Loved it.

This author is a really powerful writer. I love this series with a passion. I am so happy I am able to indulge and enjoy these books and characters. For sure a must read and a high recommendation from myself!

This is the second book in a trilogy. It is able to standalone if you have not read the first one. This book is just as good as the previous one. The characters of Melody, Imani and Lance have been even more developed. They are continuing to grow in their friendship and in their own lives. This is a great balance between a contemporary book that focuses on friendship and a romance. I truly enjoyed this book and I was rooting for the characters. I truly recommend this book as it is an easy quick read!

This is the third and final book in a trilogy. I absolutely loved this book and feel that some themes that were introduced in the earlier books were continued and ultimately resolved. My favorite part of this book is that it focuses on friendship. I feel that the friendships portrayed in this are by far and away very realistic. I found myself truly rooting for the friendships in the story. I could definitely relate to Imani who was facing her life being turned upside down. The struggle when she is realizing she is needing help from her friends was really something I could relate to. I also have to say that having read all three books, I enjoyed reading and seeing how they matured. I feel like they developed like my friends and I did. Although, perhaps with more dramatic moments than I’ve been through. I cannot recommend this book enough! I truly enjoyed it and am sad to see the trilogy end.

This book is the final one of the series and it is just as good as the others. I loved getting back into these characters. They have such strong and complex stories that it is always interesting to read about them.
Although I didn’t want the series to end I was glad to see how it all played out. It really feels like you have been on a journey with these 3 characters and it was nice to see that journey come to a conclusion. This book is every bit as enjoyable as I expected and this is a series that everyone should try!

This book was so incredible! It brought out so many emotions and that’s what I love in a book. If you can make me upset, if you can bring tears to my eyes, if you can make me laugh out loud, if you can make my heart melt…then it’s a fantastic read in my opinion. I want to feel it all and that’s what True Colors did for me. Lance, Imani and Melody are truly a great trio. They’ve always been the best of friends. And this book did an amazing job with showing how friendships should really be like. Be there for one another no matter what and always be truthful! No matter how bad or embarrassing the truth is, they always spoke about it to one another. And at the end of the day, they always forgave one another. I can’t wait to read the other books!

Melody, Imani, and Lance are back and their friendship is seemingly stronger than ever. That is, until they are faced with more hardships and tragedies that test them each individually and as a group. The Colors of Love is Lance’s story, but Imani shares the spotlight most of the time.

There is a lot going on throughout The Colors of Love and so many characters with issues of their own to meet. Emotions run high from page one and never let up. In this book you get love, sadness, deceit, betrayal, heartache, grief, and jealousy. There is a lot to take in, including possible triggers: suicide, racism, domestic violence, and kidnapping.

Once again I was a tad disappointed. I started off thinking that Lance was gonna be the star of this book but it didn’t really feel that way, it seemed to be more about his escapades than him protecting his girls. Imani was very annoying to me in this book, the mixed signals, how she handles the issues with melody, she was just too all over the place.

I will say that unwavering friendship is a wonderful thing and I think it’s beautiful in these books. It’s always good to have a couple of good people on your corner.

Book three of the Colors trilogy, this one knocked my socks right off. So much going on with Lance, Melody and Imani. It’s good to see that they still stick together. I felt every emotion through this story: happiness, pain, joy and sadness, all of it. The author has tied up the storyline so well that everything comes together. It is a happy ending with some pain along the way. The characters are familar faces that we have come to know and love. They are still so easy to relate to. If you haven’t tried this story or this series, I recommed you do. This is series that is better read in order.

I believe that this author is trying to break me. After the horrible relationship in the first book, one would think that Melody would get a break. Nope. Then throw in Marco and Imani, Imani and Lance, Lance and Heather, graduation and so much more. I don’t know if I can take book three but I know I will read it.

If I wasn’t already attached to these characters from the first book, my attachment grew deeper with the second book. I have a feeling that I am going to be shattered after the third book. There was soooooo much that happened in this book. This story picks up immediately after the tragedy that ended the first. Melody is recovering. Imani and Lance, each facing their own guilt and recovery, protect and shield Melody from everything. Imani finds an unexpected love. Melody faces heartbreak, again, and again. Lance discovers a family secret that leads to a positive outcome. Everyone graduates. Lance gets drafted. Lance gets injured. Lance marries Heather. Melody needs a guardian angel. Imani marries Marco. Imani gets a premonition.

The rollercoaster of emotions doesn’t end. The bounds of this friendship are tested time and time again, but they prove to be strong and elastic. I can’t wait to dive into the third book. This series is phenomenal.

This is the third and last book in the Colors Trilogy. True Colors is 1 – 2 years on from the others and the once strong bond between the 3 friends, Melody, Imani, and Lance is not what it was but they once again find that they need to lean on each other when tragedy strikes. But is their past and the divide too great to bring them fully back together and to trust each other? I strongly suggest you read these books in order or you are missing out on too much back story.

This contemporary New Adult story has secrets and lies, pain and suffering, hopes and stubborn pride, ghosts and lost love, horrors and hardships that may just be too much.

The title of this book is apt as we see just what the true colours of the characters are now.

After reading the first book, I was hoping to get more answers to my questions and see more character development. For Imani, I was not as attached as I was in the first book. In this one, she became a little annoying and somewhat overwhelming with her mixed signals and the consistent stress she portrayed throughout the book. It’s not that I did not like her storyline, but that I had hoped for a more mature, experience-driven arc for her instead of high maintenance and incredibly flighty with her emotions. Imani was a little too hot-cold for me which caused me some anxiety to continue reading about her. I would also like to have seen more of a story between Lance and Melody. I saw some with them individually, but I felt like Lance should have been given his time to learn how to focus on his “girls” and less on gratifying his other less appropriate natures. Overall I liked this book. It takes me back to senior year in high school when I watched the popular kids’ life unfold in front of me and shake my head at the bad decisions and toxic breakups and broken hearts(I was the outcast and nerd in my school). This gave me all the feelings of high school love and naive romance. The tragic loss of Melody hit me hard and had me set the book aside to calm my nerves. As ever the graphic scenes, the trigger warnings, and the intense emotions these characters experienced made me fall in love with them and become incredibly frustrating. So, though I yearn for a more developed storyline from the characters, I also cannot wait to read the next one. This book was that frustrating and that good. I definitely recommend it.

This book starts off with a focus on three friends. The three of them meet and instantly form an insta-love, insta-friendship. Melody is purely romantic at heart and believes in the whole “love at first sight” type of fairytale. This ironically takes up most of the book as she falls for Kevin. Lance is the Jock and wants to go Pro to the NFL, and Imani is loyal and friendly, and always quick with witty banter.
The Colors of Friendship is about friendship, and the journey to discovering themselves. There are some harsh themes, like abuse, and graphic erotic scenes. However, this did not deter me. Instead, though some of the language and storyline were harsh, it also added to the grit of the story and added to the character development. I am glad there is a 2nd and 3rd book because this book left me feeling as if the story of the 3 friends is not finished. Almost underdeveloped. I was intrigued and very convinced to keep reading. There were a few hangups for me, mainly because of how naive Melody could be, especially being in college. But somehow that just made the story better in some ways. definitely worth the read.

The Colors of Friendship (Colors Trilogy, #1)The Colors of Friendship by K.R. Raye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what I was getting when I picked this book. I read the synopsis. Three college kids learn about life, love and the true value of friendship. Sure. When I started reading, I was sucked into their lives. Imani, the independent, wise-cracking, focused engineering student that despite turning down love is driven towards her goals of a degree and career, while trying to protect her friends. Especially Melody, a hopeful romantic that just wants what her parents found in college. Melody is a little too naive for her own good. And, Lance the big brother to all. Lance is a cad to everyone but his girls, Imani and Melody. Lance is focused on making the NFL, getting a degree, and protecting his friends.

Imani, Melody and Lance meet during freshman orientation and become inseparable. Imani and Melody are roomies and Lance spends as much time as he can there. Everything goes well until someone new poses a threat to the group.

The beautiful friendship that these three have developed is friendship goals. The way they are there for each other is heartwarming. I won’t lie there are times I was yelling at the characters for their choices, times I wanted to throw my device across the room because someone ignored another giant red flag….I am talking about you, Melody. I have moved up Book 2 on my reading list. I can’t wait. I also love some of the side characters. Big Tony stole my heart. This book is fantastic. It is a shame that I have a day job!

This is a great follow up to the first book in this series. After the horrific events at the end of the first book, and all that Melody and her best friends Lance and Imani were put through, this book shows us a bit more about the recovery process and the healing of the friendships between our main characters. Not only do we see how Junior and Senior year of college goes for them, but how the first few years after school turned out as well. This book is told from Lance’s perspective, for the most part, but has input from Imani and Melody as well. While I definitely don’t agree with all of the characters life choices, and at times found myself wanting to smack some sense into a few of them, I also found myself getting so lost in the story that the real world ceased to exist until I had to put the book down to do real world things. I can’t wait to see how this series ends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging read, which kept me happily turning the pages. Having read book one, it was nice to be back with the three friends, Lance, Imani, and Melody. The storyline continues from the previous book, and the friends are all coming to terms with the traumatic events that occurred. Having nearly lost his two friends, Lance is determined to protect them, along with fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional footballer. Imani, is continuing with her chemical engineering degree and the hope of a promising career. Melody has been left shattered but is even more determined to find true love like her parents.
As the friends try to recover from the unimaginable, their friendship is tested. Lance’s promiscuity may not only affect his NFL dreams, but also endanger the girls again. Meanwhile, Melody is at risk of making the same mistakes that nearly got her killed, and Imani’s racist preconceptions may prevent her academic progress. This is an emotional rollercoaster of a read, full of drama and angst, but fundamentally the friendship element shines through. The characters are all likeable and relatable, making me feel engaged with them and their lives. I look forward to book three, and with ‘catching up’ with the trio of friends again.

As young adults there is a lot of angst. Love and romance are confusing concepts. One thing none of the friends want is a repeat of the last time one of them fell in love.
With Melody’s past relationship and the terrible end that came too she is reluctant to let another man close to her. Is she right to keep herself guarded and closed off?
Imani is always strong and sensible but when she gets into a long- distance relationship with DJ she finds herself feeling and confronting emotions she’s never felt before .

And finally Lance. Lance is definately a ladies man. However now he main focus is looking after his girls and becoming a professional athlete. So how will he react when there is another danger aimed at his girls or when his promiscuous history comes back to bite him.

This story is full of emotion as they all deal with their own problems but their love for each other and unwavering support shines though the pages.
