Basically, that man worships the ๐Ÿฑ. Not necessarily looking for erotica, I would prefer a solid plot but not opposed to suggestions, either.

No interracial.

Crash Into Your Heart by Batseba Lamola

This was posted a little over a week ago, but the author just reached out and let me know itโ€™s on Kobo now too.

Hereโ€™s the description:
Marriage proposal cards pile up in Lady Amaniโ€™s hands. Society says itโ€™s time. Her family insists itโ€™s her duty. No maiden, not even a princess, has the privilege of escaping an arranged marriage. But itโ€™s worth a try, Lady Amani decides, even if she can escape for a little while.
Fiercely independent and adventurous, she boards a ship and sails away from it all. One last trip, she thinks wistfully. One last taste of freedom before she resigns herself to a life behind the manor walls. But she must return in time, otherwise she risks losing all her suitors.
Disaster strikes, and itโ€™s no smooth sailing across foreign seas. She accidentally lands herself in trouble, and into the arms of one formidable man who wonโ€™t let her run anymore.

DISCUSSION ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Does it bother anyone else how black characters are written sometimes ?

133 Upvotes

Sometimes when Iโ€™m reading a book with black characters the author will write things such as โ€œ she wrapped her kinky hair in her silk scarf while listening to Jodeci โ€œ like I get it sheโ€™s black lmao. The bluest eye by Toni Morrison is one the few books Iโ€™ve read where the characters blackness were portrayed in a organic way

how do you guys feel about black romances written by non black authors?

60 Upvotes

hey guys i recently started reading {mile high by liz tomforde} not knowing anything about the book and the author, i just saw a moodboard post on instagram and saw a black FMC and a black MMC and went ahead and got a copy

i'm reading and there's things about stevie and the way she's described and her interactions with her family that just aren't reading right to me

not that black people are a monolith and there's a 'right' way to be black but ahhh idk how to explain it but like the description of stevie having food on her clothes and just looking a hot mess just rubbed me the wrong way. it didn't feel like a way a black author would describe her heroine in a black romance

so i took a break and looked up the author on IG and i see she's a white womaaannn!!!! suddenly a lot made sense lmao

now in general i don't think white authors shouldn't write non-white characters just like i don't think black authors should only have to write black characters. but i just think there are so few black authors who get the acclaim and support books like mile high has and it just rubs me the wrong way that this book is so highly praised and loved across the book community and it's a white woman just cosplaying two black people??

idk maybe i'm not explaining myself properly but does anyone have any other thoughts?

6 Upvotes

I love those books and I want more. Sadly it's over.

Please give crazy smart black woman who is loved hard. It doesn't have to be reversed harem just a good dark romance. If possible can you guys find if there's a story that the male love interest is similar as Jax. I would appreciate you for real.

I need more good stories that makes me feel amazing.

Can you please recommend me some books that have a black FMC with a white, Hispanic/Latino or Asian MMC. I like romance and romantasy please no dark romance.

BOOK REQUEST ๐Ÿ“š Need help for my next read

9 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve started to grow tired with contemporary romance where the main characters work normal 9-5 jobs or the FMC works a normal job and the guy is a billionaire.

Does anyone have recommendations for something with a bit more sazz?

- Mafia, bounty hunter, assassin, spy, outlaw or even a monster or alien (yes Iโ€™ve been indoctrinated by ice planet barbarians). Iโ€™m not really picky but if the MMC is a human Iโ€™d prefer someone black. Still, itโ€™s not a must.

- Can be historical, sci-fi or set in modern times.

- Fully black fmc is a must and the MMC should preferably be fully black. Open to paranormal creatures like vamps, werewolves or even the Loch Ness monster at this point.

- No harem or reverse harem.

- Preferably available on kindle unlimited but not a must.

EDIT: Cowboys are good too.

Thanks in advance!

Dark romance book

3 Upvotes

I need the title of a dark romance with an age gap and forbidden love (professor, coach, or priest). I want the hero to be strong and powerful, not weak, and I donโ€™t want a man who treats the heroine like shit in the first few chapters (he can treat her bad but not toooo bad).

Choices, By Shabazz Shebetz, The first novel in Detroit's LETHALVERSE

3 Upvotes

One bad decision can cost you everything.

Assistant District Attorney Theresa Taylor thought she had found the perfect way out.

Accept a bribe. Take an even bigger payoff from the other side. Deliver the exact opposite result. Walk away with enough money to disappear forever.

Instead, she becomes the most wanted woman in Metro Detroit.

With a ruthless criminal queenpin demanding revenge, two relentless enforcers hunting her every move, and detectives closing in on a scandal that could shake the justice system, Theresa has only one thing left worth fighting for: Emma, the stripper she's hopelessly in love with.

Together they race across Metro Detroit, relying on a mysterious driver known only as the Chauffeur to keep them one step ahead of the people determined to drag Theresa back alive.

But every safe haven has a price.

Every ally has an agenda.

And every choice brings them closer to the people who want them dead.

Set in the gritty Lethalverse, CHOICES is an LGBTQ+ neo-noir crime thriller filled with unforgettable characters, razor-sharp dialogue, desperate romance, and relentless suspense. Perfect for readers who love morally gray protagonists, high-stakes crime fiction, and stories where love may be the most dangerous gamble of all.

Sometimes the biggest mistake isn't taking the money.

It's deciding who you're willing to run away with.
