The daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, Ricki Wilde is the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her. When she moves into a Harlem brownstone, she leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. One evening Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.

Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.

Includes a Reading Group Guide.

Predictable “twist.” Enjoyed the book overall.

This book flirts the line between a magical soul mate love story and a deep tingling erotica. I did enjoy the book overall as it gave me a black culture - Hallmark - read (but better). It starts by introducing a young female moving to NYC to open a flower shop (full of comedic puns) and prove her family wrong that she isn't the odd ball, quick to fail, mess up. She quickly befriends a celebrity sidekick, a wise guiding elderly neighbour, and a mysterious drawing stranger love interest. I found myself enchanted at times to the mystery of the connection between Ricki and Ezra and then curious if I'm reading a romance fantasy Fabio book. I think it definitely checked the box for a February Valentine's and Black History Month read.
