Roses Are Red

by Sonia Seerani

Kendra Davenport is seeing red. She runs her father's newspaper, the largest black newspaper in Europe. And she's about to lose half of it to Shay Brentwood, son of her father's worst enemy...unless she comes up with a huge sum of cash in seven days—and gives the arrogant smooth talker a kiss. The first demand seems impossible. The second sets her on fire.

[Alicia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I randomly thought of this book, I remember reading it in the summer of 98. It was one of the first romance novels I ever read and it was the first African-American romance I read. I remember Arabesque became very popular around that time and in the following few years, they even came out with TV movies of the books (although I remember they did not stay true to the books). I really liked this book and it made me want to continue reading romance novels. At the time I was 12 years old and did not have money to buy books, so I re-read the ones I had over and over again, and I read this one a lot.
