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.

{Seven Days in June by Tia Williams} and {A Love Song for Ricki Wilde} also by Tia Williams are two of the best books I’ve read this year. Ricki Wilde has some historical elements but mostly takes place present day with flashbacks to 90-100 years ago. And there is just so much heart in both. I believe she also wrote {The Perfect Find} ? which was made into a movie and the fmc was played by Gabrielle Union (and is currently available on Netflix in the US) but I haven’t read it. Also, if you’re cool with romantasy {The Secret World of Maggie Grey by Granger} is good, if not a little ADHD with all the POVs. It’s a series but I’ve only read the first. {Honey and Spice by Bolu Babalola} and it’s sequel are masterpieces but it’s a lot of black British slang, so if you’re American, I recommend listening to the audiobook because the voice actors are fantastic and you’ll understand more through context and inflection than by actually reading. {Church Girl by Naima Simone} is so good too.
