A few weeks ago, a guest author in the Readers Lounge mentioned the importance of seeing all types of Black women falling head over heels in romance novels. Several of the Diamond Divas brought up what they’d like to see more of.
You know what I mentioned? Funny heroines. Not the clumsy, tripping-over-nothing, coffee-spilling caricature we often see in rom-coms. I’m talking about legit hilarious heroines. I want dry-witted, sarcastically funny leading ladies who drop zingers and one-liners that have you laughing out loud.
Thing is, while I’m sitting here with my thinking cap on, I can’t think of a single heroine who fits that bill. But I know they’re out there, hiding in the pages of books. So, if you’ve got any recs, spill the beans in the comments. And authors, if you’ve penned a heroine like that, drop the deets.
My one-click finger is itching and ready to buy!

Adele in my age gap romance Love Intolerant fits the bill (in my ever so biased opinion). See for yourself, though. 🙂 – https://amzn.to/41WEujc
