Book Description

An incisive, intersectional essay anthology that celebrates and examines romance and romantic media through the lens of Black readers, writers, and cultural commentators, edited by Book Riot columnist and librarian Jessica Pryde. Romantic love has been one of the most essential elements of storytelling for centuries. But for Black people in the United States and across the diaspora, it hasn't often been easy to find Black romance joyfully showcased in entertainment media. In this collection, revered authors and sparkling newcomers, librarians and academicians, and avid readers and reviewers consider the mirrors and windows into Black love as it is depicted in the novels, television shows, and films that have shaped their own stories. Whether personal reflection or cultural commentary, these essays delve into Black love now and in the past, including topics from the history of Black romance to social justice and the Black community to the meaning of desire and desirability. Exploring the multifaceted ways love is seen—and the ways it isn't—this diverse array of Black voices collectively shines a light on the power of crafting happy endings for Black lovers. Jessica Pryde is joined by Carole V. Bell, Sarah Hannah Gomez, Jasmine Guillory, Da’Shaun Harrison, Margo Hendricks, Adriana Herrera, Piper Huguley, Kosoko Jackson, Nicole M. Jackson, Beverly Jenkins, Christina C. Jones, Julie Moody-Freeman, and Allie Parker in this collection.

Book Description

As Beirut exploded with the bombs and violence of a ruthless civil war in the ’80s, a nine-year-old Salma Abdelnour and her family fled Lebanon to start a new life in the States. Ever since then—even as she built a thriving career as a food and travel writer in New York City—Salma has had a hunch that Beirut was still her home. She kept dreaming of moving back—and finally decided to do it. But could she resume her life in Beirut, so many years after her family moved away? Could she, or anyone for that matter, ever really go home again? Jasmine and Fire is Salma’s poignant and humorous journey of trying to resettle in Beirut and fumbling through the new realities of life in one of the world’s most complex, legendary, ever-vibrant, ever-troubled cities. What’s more, in a year of roiling changes around the Middle East and the rise of the Arab Spring, Salma found herself in the midst of the turmoil. As she comes to grips with all the changes in her life—a love left behind in New York and new relationships blossoming in Beirut—Salma takes comfort in some of Lebanon’s enduring traditions, particularly its extraordinary food culture. Through the sights, sounds, and flavors of a city full of beauty, tragedy, despair, and hope, Salma slowly begins to reconnect with the place she’s longed for her entire life.

Book Description

JASMINE One thing stands between me and my destiny. Jack Harlowe.They say people who hurt others don't love themselves. Jack must be the one exception. He loves his power. His billion dollar kingdom. His icy blue eyes and wavy dark locks. Just as much as he loves himself, he loves getting his way. And he got it. But now I'm back to live the life I deserve and his grudge is so deep he thinks I can't swim that far. What Jack doesn't know is that once you've dropped into a fifty foot wave, nothing scares you. If he wants to be my one and only enemy, good luck to him. I always ride to win. JACK I swear I'm not cruel but I'll let her believe it. I usually get my way with no more than a nudge. People are naturally worried about what I can do to them. My Dad owns this town and almost every job in it. Not Jasmine. She isn't scared of anything. Her single track mind and body, fearless even in the face of death. Her strength is my kryptonite but also her weakness. She thinks she doesn't need saving. Boy, was she wrong. But now she's back and I'm stuck in the middle of a scandal. Choose Jasmine? Or the Harlowe family reputation? Only Jasmine is a steamy enemies-to-lovers for 18+. A standalone spin off from the Uyu Festival Series taking place on the fictional Hawaiian island of Nakiki. If you love twisty plots, British men, feisty heroines and redemption arcs that make you swoon, this is your kind of book.
