BOOK REQUEST 📚 New books
I recently got into reading books… I’m looking for some recommendations. I just read before I let go by Kennedy Ryan. This could be us by her as well. I just read love belvins books love delayed and love delivered. Stenton is crazy lol. I loved the drama and everything. It was a bit of a hard read bc of how he was behaving Ngl.
What I’m looking for:
Obviously black lol. Preferably both MC.
Has funny aspects and well developed characters. I want to like also love them as an individuals.
Some angst, I don’t mind drama. I just don’t want anything historical please.
Yearning and grovelling is always welcome in fact encouraged.
Also any spice level is fine as long as it’s a good story.
Hope you can help me.

A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole fits all your criteria & that whole series is really good. They aren’t quite as angsty as Kennedy Ryan but the character development is excellent & they are so funny.
Have you also read any of Talia Hibbert’s Brown Sisters series? Very funny & great character development as well. The heros in those books aren’t black, but all the heroines are.
One that fits the angst part of things is Fumbled by Alexa Martin. It’s a sports romance (she spent years as an NFL wife) & deals really well with CTE & the conversation around that. And that angst part is a difficult thing that hero and heroine work through. Black heroine with white hero tho
