Blue Hamilton is the quentessential woman's man. He is strong, intelligent, sexy, but most of all, determined to protect his woman and all of the women around him. Once again, Pearl Cleage gifts her reader's with a strong, electrifying black male character. He is Prince Charming wrapped up in nubian wrapping paper.The story flows and moves with a fluidity that is only surpassed by the strong dialogue and the extremely believable characters. Even though Blue and other males in the book represent what many of us would like to see among our "menfolk" Cleage leaves hope for the reader that this doesn't have to be fiction. She leaves the door open for her readers to believe that real men do exist and are just waiting to be the men that they can be. Cleage restores hope for those hopeless romantics who believe chivalry is dead. Well it is not. It is alive and well and living in the mind and pen of Ms. Cleage.
