I always love diversity in books and want to encourage it whenever and where I can. I spy several good romances here.
When Black Women Fall in Love by Ines Johnson
Heartspell Media would like to welcome you to When Black Women Fall, a week long promotional tour of romance novels featuring African American heroines in the contemporary, historical, paranormal, new adult, and erotica genres.
Romance novels are increasingly featuring heroes and heroines of color, from Courtney Milan’s Brothers Sinister series to Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series. As society and its citizens increase in diversity so does the market. With more and more authors bypassing publishers and uploading these colorful romances on their own, starved readers now have a buffet of books to choose from.

ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! :D
DeleteThis is definitely one of the reasons why I love Nalini's books. Thanks for this list. I will check some these out.
ReplyDeleteThat is why she is on my wishlist. I just need to get to them. Trying to find the audios at my library.
DeleteThis is good spotlight for Black History month. Like Heidi said, I don't think I see many in romances, though I think sometimes it's just not brought to our attention. Still, we definitely can use more diversity.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but even so there isn't enough. :)
DeleteI agree. I see so many people get excited when there are more diverse books so I don't get why there isn't more.
ReplyDeleteYay for diversity! Love these and will have to check them out more in depth!
