Popsugar 2022: 18) A romance novel by a BIPOC author

02/02/22: I really like how Clare starts out the relationship with absolutely no time or patience for any of Dominic's rakish ladies man shit. She was like, "No. No. Immediately no. I don't care how hot and muscular and sexy and adorably flirty you are. No."

Every time someone died, I kept remembering that interview with the 86 year old Brooklyn woman that got mugged. "Am I supposed to feel sorry for that bitch? Well I don't!"

9/20/21 On order in paperback right now after that little dustup by the mansplainer on Twitter towards THE Miz Beverly Jenkins yesterday.

LOOK at this cover.

Beverly’s brain is so remarkable, wow. I love how interconnected her books are, it’s SO cool. Clare and Dominic are such strong characters, and I adored them as a couple.  I especially loved the setting of this, most of it is set in the Caribbean! I was hoping for some more tension between our main couple, but other than it being a bit instalovey for my liking, I truly enjoyed this.
