Night Song by Beverly Jenkins
5.0
This one started a bit slow but 10% into it and I was hooked. Cara and Chase will stay with me for a longtime.
I’ve said this before but I wish I was good at writing reviews. Sadly not but what I can say about this book, is that representation in literature matters. Healthy black and realistic relationships do exist. Beverly Jenkins and so many other black authors have made it so abundantly clear. I just wish there was more exposure.
Beverly Jenkins has this amazing ability to write a perfect romance novel with all our favourite trimmings- handsome ML, gorgeous FL, steamy times,swoon-worthy love, etc- however what makes her books so unique, is her ability to incorporate unknown history to the plot. Romance+education= deadly combination. So excited to delve into more of her work.
Ps. her reference lists shows the amazing effort she puts into her research. I’ve never read any author like her before. Ms Bev is In the running to be my favourite author of all time.
