What was your opinion on the relationship between Lily and James? Is it romantic? Or is it inappropriate and forced?

[Ana C Barrantes]

While I do think the attraction is there and clear; I do not think think that is the same as romance. in fact, I think the argument can be made that the attraction, and circumstance, leads them to force a relationship.

This book was well-written, and I think the relationship between the master's son, James, and the slave, Lily, was not forced neither was it inappropriate. I think I loved the way they related with each other unconventionally.

I definately do not think their relationship was forced , but I also did not get the feeling of James being sincere. I sort of felt like James had a selfish side to him which made me ask a lot of questions throughout the book

I think love knows no stranger. Love knows no barriers. Love is perfect. Love is passion & heat.

[Elisa Joy Ocasla]

Given the genre, I'd say the book met my expectations. At the very least, I sense a spark between them, but I'm dubious about James' affections for Lily. Although I do not feel it was coerced, one thing is certain: love knows no boundaries, and there should be no such thing as a standard romantic relationship.

I think the prospect of a great relationship will turn heavily on the sincerity of the feelings holding them together now. Along the dark roads of time we gather that whenever love exerted a sweeping control, none submitted more than the mind.

I think James' love for Lily was an interesting one. I do understand that it may have seemed fake at some point. However, I like to think of it as him doing what he had to do; but to me, there was nothing about their relationship that felt forced or inappropriate. Let's see what happens though.

I am a bit unsure about this one. I enjoyed the romance and chemistry between the two and the fact that they knew each other since they were young, but something was lacking. I could not feel the smooth flow in their relationship and at some points it just felt unjustified. I think that the portrayal of their relationship could have been done in a much better way by the author.

[José Cortez]

The author had an awesome idea of what their love story should be like but the execution seemed forced and unrealistic.

[Francis Aderogbin]

In my opinion, the fact that they started as friends seems the love they shared is sincere. However, I am afraid James could be influenced to betray the beautiful love they shared with time.

[Ghuddie]

I feel they had genuine feelings for each other. They knew each other from way back, from childhood to be precise. They had a good understanding of each other. Reading through the story, I could sense they really felt deeply for each other. It just wasn't portrayed well enough.

[Kuchi Mercy]

Although the book spelled out the attraction between James and Lily. I do not think the attraction may be enough to sustain a romantic relationship between the two.

[Raymonda onwuka]

I don't think thebrelationship between James and Lilyis forced. I think there is a natural love between the two and there a bit of passion. Love and passion is what makes relationships stronger.

[Marisol Mendez]

James and Lily had a natural attraction to each other in my opinion. They chose to be in a relationship that society would not approve of. That is definitely not a forced thing.

[Hussein21]

Although they seem to be deeply I love with each one another, I doubt James sincerity
