Undeniable

by Raymond Francis

Amara is afro-centric, socially woke, and in touch with the issues that face our country today. Unconcerned with the material trappings of the world, Amara is more focused on her deep spiritual quest to find peace, happiness, and true love.That love is right beneath Amara’s nose, in the form of her best friend of the past 10 years, Driq. Driq is a complex man with a complicated life, but he has always had a soft spot reserved in his heart for Amara. He is wise beyond his years, due to the fact that he was forced to grow up quickly and become the man of the house at a very young age. When Amara sells a house under suspicious circumstances, Driq informs her that it may be connected to some illegal activity. As Amara investigates the residents of the house, she concludes that something isn’t right. From there, Amara stumbles into a world that she has no idea even existed.Undeniable use modern day issues such as police brutality, activism, and drug use to weave together an epic love story. As the events play out, Amara and Driq are forced to make decisions that they never thought they would have to, but these decisions will ultimately shape their pride, purpose, and destiny!

Almost too much

The story had so much drama, it was almost too much. Yes, chemistry is great, loving a man into oblivion is good, but sometimes too much is too much. And a man from the streets changing his colors might be too much.We will have to see how this shakes out.

Good story!

Undeniable was an undeniably good story. Aside from a few grammatical errors, I think Raymond Francis did a good job at telling the story of Amara and Driq. They had one of those friendships where it's undeniable that they're in love with each other, but they just won't admit it. I think we've all been there before. Where we are afraid of crossing the line with a friend because we're afraid of completely losing them if things go wrong. Love is about taking risks and I'm glad to have gotten to read about Amara & Driq finally getting to a place where they were willing to risk everything to give love a try. I'm interested in seeing how things will play out in part 2. I recommend this book to anyone who loves African American romance stories. This book will have you invested in Amara and Driq's relationship. I liked the way Francis gave us a sneak peek into the perspectives of a few characters at the end of the book. I believe it added a nice touch to the overall story and kept me invested in the story enough to want to read book 2.

Good book

I think this is the first book I've read by this author. I must say that this was a good book. I'm glad Amara and Driq finally stopped beating around the bush and made things official. The only problem is Deja is going to try to do everything in her power to break them up. Well, on to part 2...

I like this book.. surprised that’s there wasn’t any sex scenes, but I get why. I’m looking forward to Undeniable 2

Ghetto literature with some careless editing, but also a love story between an impeccable young woman and her not-so-perfect (except physically) male friend.

Set during the first Trump era, reflecting the Black Lives Matter protests and Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling episode, the story’s spotlight is on Amara, the innocent student striving to break into the real estate profession.

Two indictments stand out. First, these words on page 167: “. . . the biggest [drug] gang in the state of North Carolina—The Charlotte Police Department.” A 10-year veteran of the department is an active drug dealer. Moreover, a police officer who shoots a 21-year-old man in the back is given administrative leave with the expectation that there will be no consequences for the slaughter. “People were more worried about whether or not athletes were kneeling before a football game than they were about police murdering innocent minorities.” (p. 181)

Second, “#45 [Trump] had the country more divided than Amara had ever known it to be. Racism was rampant and hate was at al all-time high.” (p. 181)

I value these two denunciations from the perspective of an innocent, young Black woman more than the rest of the story, which unsuccessfully strains against stereotypes of Black Americans in the lower socio-economic stratum.

Kin Folk 👀

Ummm, Camden New Jersey 👀?…Willingboro😮!PATCO (now Walter Rand Transportation Center😲! Driq (possibly his late mother & or aunt had deep roots in the city I once resided) & his crew are kin folk….well at least by affliation not association🤭🤷🏾‍♀️‼️ … Preoccupied by nostalgia, a soulful Dorothy sang 🎶: ”When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing …”🤭. Meanwhile, “Undeniable” was an entertaining read. However, the plot & character development was disjointed & or confusing. Nevertheless, hopefully “Undeniable 2” will reconcile the confusion. …🍿🍿📖

Rating 3.5.
I went in thinking this was going to be a romance book. That's not what I got but it wasn't a bad read. I think the biggest focus was on black lives matter and violence in the street. The FMC is very delusional with a twisted view of reality when it comes to real crime. I questioned multiple times: what is really going on here. I can see the advocacy in the author's writing, but the title could have been something else. It was misleading and not the focus of the story.

Undeniable

Amara & Driq have been friends since middle school and never crossed the line. He is always there for her when she needs him and vice versa. She's seen the type of person he is and can be. Without giving away too much, I absolutely loved this storyline. She's seen him at his worst but can he be his best for her?

[Elsie Thompson]

True to his title

The characters are so life like and passionate. The storyline is outstanding. The story line is outstanding fill with the reality of our time. The development of the story Is magnificent. I'm so glad Amaria, and Driq got together again. Theirs were a love worth fighting for.

Kudos, Job well done.

Can't believe it's over

Easy read and entertaining that I couldn't put it down. I'm shocked I was at the end but excited to start book2! I also empathize with Amara- attending protests in CLT, activism, wanting justice to be served. Thanks for the love story.
