The essays in this book are beautiful, entertaining, and informative! If you are a fan of the romance genre, this is a book I highly recommend you read.

This collection of essays centered around Black romance novels and Black love was wonderful. I learned a lot, nodded a lot, considered a lot, and added a TON of books to my TBR. Absolutely recommended for varied insights into the genre, the history of the treatment of Black romance authors, and the importance of HEAs for Black characters.

I loved all the amazing points of view here; they were spot on, and this is a wonderful anthology for anyone interested in romance told by Black readers and authors.
