RATING: 4.5 STARS
The Delay was such a fun, cute, and sexy novella. I loved Trenton and India's connection. It felt real, not forced at all. I loved that it was set on Juneteenth. Danielle does not miss the opportunity to add a lesson in here and I think that was great. I wish it was a little longer, but other than that, there's nothing that I didn't like about The Delay. I will definitely be checking out the rest of the novellas in this series.

There was so much packed into this short read. The leading man, Trenton, is what fantasies are made of! I was rooting for this couple from the very beginning. The back story perfectly illustrated the racial tensions we all face daily. The history of the Juneteenth holiday was highly informative without being preachy.

Sexy and fun! The chemistry between Trenton and India starts strong and only escalates from there. The mutual respect incorporated throughout the story makes this couple one I can imagine staying together for the long haul. It was also interesting to read this whole story from Trenton’s point of view.
The characters meet when they find themselves on the same air travel itinerary to get to a Juneteenth celebration in Galveston, TX. There is some discussion in the story explaining the importance of this day to strangers who don’t understand it, and also discussion of what it would mean for it to be considered a national holiday. I happened to read this right after it was actually made a national holiday in 2021, so seeing this on the page really resonated (with this white reader) in some bittersweet ways. Our country still has a long way to go.

If you’re looking for a hot novella with two sexy main characters, check this one out.
Trenton and India meet on an airplane, there’s an instant connection, and then they find out they’re both headed to Galveston for a Juneteenth celebration. Things get hot and pretty much stay hot. This book is packed full of chemistry and heat,l and there’s also a good amount of witty banter.
I LOVED these main characters, and there were moments that had me cracking up, too. I’m invested in Trenton and India now, so if Danielle ever decides to give them their own full length novel, I’m one-clicking it.

The chemistry between India and Trenton is what made this!

It was okay. Strange concept. Part history lesson that I already knew and part steamy romance. Read it on the recommendation of a Facebook friend. Not really sure why she recommended it.

Just the bite sized novella to start the week
“How do we look as a unit if we go to jail for beating the ass of a dude in leggings over a chick you met twenty-four hours ago?”
I came for the sex and stayed for the LOLz
