Seven Days in June

Two writers get a second chance at love in this romantic, sexy-as-hell New York Times bestselling novel.

Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer. Shane Hall is a reclusive, award-winning novelist. When the two meet at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that when they were teenager, Eva and Shane spent one crazy week madly in love. They can pretend they've never met, but they can't deny their chemistry--or the fact that they've been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years.

With its keen observations of creative life in America today, as well as the joys and complications of being a mother and a daughter, Seven Days in June is a hilarious starcrossed romance.

This book was amazing in every way. I connected with her on her illness and the way he understood and wanted to be there for her chef’s kiss

Vastly different from other romances I normally read, but very well done. I really enjoyed it and think that the book group discussion in October will be good! I'm glad that I read something different than I normally would, even in the genre that I mostly read.

Best second chance romance I've ever read - still some attributes of it made me a bit uncomfortable, particularly how quickly the daughter was involved in her mother's relationship. I will be reading the author's next book though and really enjoyed the centering of a black romance. Female empowerment and discussion of chronic pain was welcome and gave a lot of dimension.
