The characters in this book were layered and three-dimensional. The story was riveting. I laughed, I cried. I wanted to slap the main characters LOL.

5. Let it Shine by Alyssa Cole
A historical romance, this interracial love story is set in the 1960s during the civil rights movement, so their relationship was, of course, way more taboo.
I loved how these two opposites attracted and complemented one another.
It was a beautiful story of the power of love and also a great reminder of the sacrifices made so our marriage can be legal today.

7. The Wish Collector by Mia Sheridan
This was one of the first books I read in romance, recommended by our Diversity Editor Renita McKinney of A Book A Day.
I fell in love with Mia’s writing because of this book. A story that mixes an old love story with a new one. It reminded me of Beauty and the Beast (without the kidnapping). It’s a beautiful interracial love story that’s poignant with a dash of suspense mixed in.
I never wanted the story to end. Trust me, this interracial romance novel is not one you want to miss.

8. Behind the Bars by Brittainy Cherry
I have loved Brittainy’s books ever since I picked the first one up.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever read one of her books that haven’t made me cry like a baby- this BMWW interracial romance was no exception.
There were some tough scenes in this book, so trigger warning for sexual assault. This was a beautiful love story and totally worth the read.
“I have never been so emotionally moved by a book in my life. I didn’t just fall in love with these characters, I walked 300 pages in their shoes, I BECAME them, and am forever changed.
Behind the Bars is true Brittainy C. Cherry magic. 5 achingly beautiful stars.”– Author Kandi Steiner

9. Wishing for Yesterday by AM Kusi
This interracial romance book is a second-chance MM romance featuring Everett, the sweetheart, that, of course, our prickly grump, Ricky couldn’t resist.
