Lilac: A Sound Love by Asia Monique is a delightful contemporary romance novel that not only explores the world of culinary delights but also delves deep into the complexities of love and healing. 

The story centers around Lilac, the second oldest of the Flower Sisters. Lilac herself is a gifted chef with a large social media following, thanks to her mouthwatering dishes and charming personality. However, when her assistant suggests hiring a photographer to revamp her website and food blog, Lilac meets Ezra, a sexy and confident photographer who has been harboring a secret admiration for her for the past six months.

What sets Lilac apart from other romance novels is the depth of character development that Asia Monique infuses into her protagonists. Both Lilac and Ezra carry emotional scars from their tumultuous relationships with their fathers. These traumas make them vulnerable and hesitant when it comes to love and trust, adding layers of complexity to their budding relationship.

Asia Monique's writing style is engaging and evocative, drawing readers into the world of gourmet cuisine and the art of photography. The descriptions of Lilac's culinary creations will leave your mouth watering, while the photography sessions with Ezra are vividly depicted.
