Juanita Lucas is a young woman living in a housing project in Brooklyn. Although she has a very light complexion, she is proud of her blackness, even as she takes a beating from the very sistahs she tries so hard to emulate. Her only friend, Scooter Morrison, is an upwardly mobile brother who also happens to be young, gifted, and gay. Then a chance encounter with two fine Puerto Rican men changes Juanita’s and Scooter’s lives in ways they could never have imagined. There is Conan, a hardworking man who wrestles with both his love for Juanita and his guilt over his brother’s death; and Jorge, an unscrupulous bad-boy thug who has no problem using what he’s got to get what he wants, until he comes dangerously close to getting scorched by his own flames.

Fast-paced, suspenseful, and unpredictable, Chocolate Sangria explores the hearts of two lovers who get caught in the great cultural divide—
and the devastating consequences of keeping secrets, telling lies, and betraying those you love.

From the Back Cover:
Advance praise for Tracy Price-Thompson’s Chocolate Sangria

Chocolate Sangria is a wonderfully written novel that demands attention from page one. Tracy Price-Thompson delivers a powerful sophomore effort, proving she has a literary talent that will entertain readers for generations to come.” —Zane, bestselling author of Addicted and The Heat Seekers

“Vivid, striking prose, heartfelt and authentic. Chocolate Sangria is a thought-provoking book that examines sensitive issues among people of color.” —Marcus Major, author of 4 Guys and Trouble
Praise for the national bestseller Black Coffee

“A page-turner that explores the dangerous liaison between two soldiers.” —Essence

“A racy tale of romance and ambition in the military.” —The Washington Post

“Price-Thompson has set this novel among a seldom-written-about group, African Americans in the military. . . . An excellent job of showcasing a lifestyle not often glamorized by contemporary novelists.” —Booklist

“Puts a literal spin on the war between the sexes . . . This is not a light-hearted, sweet-talking love story, but an energizing slice of ultracontemporary romance.” —Publishers Weekly
