I did not feel "othered" in the least while reading Jasmine Guillory's steamy romance While We Were Dating (#1,035). Although Ben Stephens and Anna Gardiner are Black, who, with an ounce of romance in his or her heart, wouldn't root for a happy ending for this couple?
Ben has a chance to pitch an ad campaign for a high-profile client when the rest of his team is stranded in LA. Rising movie star Anna Gardiner is playing the lead role in this series of spots, and it's instant chemistry between the pair. When Anna insists that Ben take the lead on running the production schedule, she's guaranteed them time together in San Francisco, the home base for both of them, and the location for their client's campaign. When a family crisis brings them even closer together, Anna's manager sees a perfect opportunity to create positive publicity to boost Anna's chances for a plum role she's coveting. Complications and lots and lots of sex ensue.
Likable characters, interesting plot twists and romance keep the pages turning in this one. A few too many F bombs for my taste are but a minor quibble for this enjoyable romance. Guaranteed to turn up the heat on a cold winter's night!
