Fans of Interracial Romance discussion

Looking for BWWM books with forbidden romance themes. Doesn’t have to be historical, looking for all. Please drop your recs

American Royalty and The Duchess Effect

That First Mistake by Avril Ashton. Not technically forbidden, more like taboo. She breaks up with her boyfriend but becomes attracted to his father.

Anton by Brenda Rothert. The heroine is married and hero is her husband's teammate. He has loved her from afar -- unrequited -- for years. He befriends her and becomes a support system as she gets out of her abusive marriage.

Hero by Lauren Rowe. The heroine is the hero's Physical Therapist and their romance is forbidden while he is her patient.

Illegally Yours by Kate Meader. The heroine's sister is going through a divorce. The hero is her brother-in-law's divorce lawyer. So their getting together would be a conflict of interest.

The One You Fight For by Roni Loren. Not really forbidden but kinda taboo. The heroine's sister was killed in a school mass shooting. The hero's brother was one of the shooters. His family has been outcast because of it. The book takes place many years later but her parents haven't moved on and the sister's death have kind taken over their lives.

The first two books in Alyssa Cole's Loyal League series. Ser during the Civil war features black women spies An Extraordinary Union and A Hope Divided.

Forgive Me Father For I Have Loved By Tiana Laveen. Dude is a priest, yo. That's pretty forbidden. LOL

Strange Little Band: Two psychics. One mega-corp. All-around bad behavior. by nancy Brauer. This is sci-fi romance set in a dystopian future where everyone is controlled by a corporation. The heroine is a top-tier psychic the hero is half alien. The company wants a child of both of their DNA and the heroine if forbidden to tell the hero. This is a true enemies-to-lovers romance with lots of manipulation and backstabbing by the corporation (to keep them in line) and each other to get the upper hand. It isn't a hearts and flowers romance at all, but I remember loving it because it was a little off the rails and very different.

@Tina “Forgive me father for I have loved” is literally one of my favorite books. Never found anything like it again. I wish I could. The ones I find are literally about WW written by WW so I’m not interested. I just want unambiguous BW as my heroines. 😭😭😭

King: Darker Than Romance
First Sight
The Stepbrother

Thanks for all the recs y’all. Please keep ‘em coming.

I finished my second book and I'm looking for those who might be interested in reading/reviewing it is a historical. Let me know if tour interested.

I'm about to begin the third book of my MM gay multicultural Muslim taboo romance series "My Moroccan Boy".
Book 2 is with the publisher and is due out mid-October 2026.
Hi all!
I'd love to receive reviews for my upcoming novel :
"Confessions in the Olive Grove"
Book 2 of "My Moroccan Boy" trilogy.
Genres: gay romantic fiction, multicultural romance, based on true events.

If anyone would like a copy for an honest review, please send me an email at leo.lloyd.author (at) gmail (dot) com

Book 2: "Confessions in the Olive Grove" continues the series’ exploration of grief, desire, and the courage it takes to reach toward another soul when the world insists on silence.
Henry, still marked by loss, finds himself drawn back into a landscape that once unsettled and soothed him in equal measure. Here, amid the drifting scent of orange blossoms and the murmur of evening prayer, Mehdi — a young Moroccan - continues to stir the heart.
A lyrical, intimate novel about the moments that change us — and the ones we dare to return to.
