Review: Across The Tracks

Across The Tracks Across The Tracks by Xyla Turner
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Interracial Romance A to Z Challenge: A

An expository essay about race in an interracial relationship with sex thrown in.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised to see that, while Rich was prejudiced, he wasn't necessarily a neo-nazi who decided that, "Oh, black people are okay because I want to bang this black woman." I probably would have tossed the book because I loathe that subgenre. A lot. I find it extremely insulting. And another point of enjoyment was the subject matter because it is a topic that I enjoy seeing explored.

That doesn't mean that I liked the book though. All of the characters, including the mains, were annoying assholes. And expository writing is my second least favorite writing prose when it comes to fiction. It's boring. I didn't like Show & Tell as a child, I definitely don't want it in a romance novel.

Review: Dirty Money

Dirty Money by Liliana Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars This really wasn't long enough. The story stops at 88% for some reason, but fine. I'll accept that because it was awesome! The stakes were extremely high this time around after the cliffhanger in the last book. I'm happy that Jack and Jaye are evolving as a married couple while dealing with old ghosts. This book wrapped up a 4-book story arc, and while it feels like a good place to end, I hope that it doesn't. View all my reviews
