The storyline of this book was so unexpected. A an interracial love story and a haunting all in one. Kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole story. An incredible read!

This was a very steamy and intriguing story. I thought it was going to be a straightforward interracial romance between a professional black woman and a younger white man, and although it was that, it had some supernatural elements that were unexpected. The supernatural made this something more than just your typical romance novel. I'm glad I gave this book a chance. I liked it. It's a keeper. I don't think I'm going to part with it. I wish the story had been longer. I really want to read more about them. They made a good couple although I have to say it annoyed me that the main character kept pushing Sean away so many times. It's a good thing he wasn't backing down so easily, but sheesh, it's 2010 and it's not unusual for women in their late 30s to date men in their 20s. By the way she was acting you'd think the age gap was like 40 years! The race aspect is not a big part of this story and if you don't read very carefully you might not even realize the two are from different ethnic backgrounds.

I was surprised at just how good this book was - totally unexpected, a really intriguing look at relationships, being caught between life and the afterlife... and secrets... and HOT too! I had to laugh - I did not even realize this was an interracial romance until I read another members' comments - it was not all that obvious, so I don't think it was much of a factor at all.

"The Object of Love" is the first novel I've read by Mrs. Sharon Cullars. This story will captivate you from beginning to end. It's a story about two unlikely lovers with a very passionate desire that takes them through some unexplainable twist and turns, that will attempt to destroy any possibility of a future relationship. Lacey is a black, single mother whose son recently dies. Sean is a white man, young enough to be her son.~~~~~~~Despite the vast differences in their backgrounds, the story is written to show that Lacey and Sean are meant to be together, they seem to complete each other. I enjoyed Sean's character and found myself rooting for him to win Lacey over as I turned each page. A intense and memorable young man, and I just wanted him to finally have the happiness he seemed to have found in the arms of his ex-best friends mother.~~~~~~~Calvin's character, as a ghost, who couldn't move on until he found redemption, was a little scary and very intriguing. His often hostile actions and volatile personality, when he was alive as well as in death made it hard for one to feel sorry for his untimely demise. "The Object of Love" was definitely a chilling, yet quite thrilling adventure. Looking forward to reading more from Ms. Cullars.â
love born of discovery. reawakened w/grief and need. almost lost due to shame and guilt. good read.
I will admit this book had my interest from the beginning wanting to know what happened that "night". It was kind of creepy with Calvin "haunting" them and I was a little put off by Sean and the mother's "love" scenes. I wouldn't classify as a romance because there wasn't much. All in all it was a good read.
