20. Seven Days in June

By Tia Williams (325 pp)

When we were at The Last Chapter romance bookstore in Chicago (me signing my book) I decided to pick one book by an author who is new to me and this is what I picked. It's a contemporary, second chance romance about a Black couple who had an intense and chaotic week together as teenagers. Fifteen years later Eva is a successful author of an erotic paranormal series and Shane is a successful literary author when their paths cross again. Lots of drama and great humor and characters.
