Featuring French billionaire Baptiste and Black American PR specialist Samira, this is a fun interracial (and international) romance. I loved Samira but I felt a bit uncomfortable about her love story with Baptiste.

Samira is a strong character who looks out for herself. She was engaged to another man and they were about to get married before he broke off the marriage, plus she is facing some financial difficulties. I found myself cheering for her quite quickly. I wanted her to find happiness despite the difficult experiences she's gone through!

As for Baptiste, he's also an interesting character as he has some personal issues of his own that he's working through. But something about the way he pursued Samira came across as icky to me, for lack of a better term.

He's persistent in wanting to woo Samira even though Samira is more reluctant. She (reasonably) thinks that they aren't a good fit for one another. For much of the book, I felt that Baptiste wasn't respecting her boundaries, as if Baptiste is simply assuming what she wants. C'est pas ma tasse de thé; it's not something I personally enjoy in books.

Readers should know that the story ends in an incomplete fashion. It's not a full cliffhanger and it ends on a happy note but readers have to read the next book in the series (Beyond Ordinary Love) if they want to see how their love story ends. This is a steamy read.
