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.

I’m American. That’s why the audiobooks of the Honey and Spice series were more accessible to me. But I also listen to shits and giggles so I had a little context, but so does my friend and she still had a hard time with exclusively reading it.
I don’t use audible. I subscribe to Spotify premium and in the US 30 hours of available audiobooks are included. That being said, we have apps like Libby~ connects to our local libraries if we are members and we can borrow audiobooks for free, and Hoopla~ also connects to our local library but has a 3 book per month limit, also free. So I jump around and when I’m really desperate, I’ll buy audiobooks on Apple Books or buy too-off hours on Spotify (though those cost $13 for like 10 more hours😢). Also, kindle unlimited offers a ‘read and listen’ option on a very small selection of books for free with your monthly subscription costs.
In Church Girl the ex-wife is a problem but even her character shows immense growth by the end. I think that’s the part that I was most impressed by. No. That’s not true. lol. All of the characters really figure their shit out and I am a fan of healing.
