Review by Gypsy Culp Houston---Quick ReadMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
If I Were Your Man is the story of Nathalyia Fontaine and Rafael Dunlap finding love in each others arms. In this page turner, Francis Ray, true to form, incorporates a hint of suspense and uneasiness to the romance. In If I Were Your Man, the main characters are drawn to each other despite very different backgrounds. What starts as an affair quickly develops into something much more. The novel asks the question, “Should we be ruled by fear or love?"
As with similar romance novels, secondary characters lack dimension, there is not a substantial back-story, and the plot is somewhat predictable. However, the story unfolds nicely and at an acceptable pace. Ray is an expert at making reader feel at home and comfortable inside the story. The reader will at times identify with each main character and will be drawn to the lushness of the situations described. If I Were Your Man is a quick read and great for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Francis Ray continues to be a go to author for African American Romance. Romance enthusiasts and novice alike will enjoy this book.
