Fans of Interracial Romance discussion

Now for posting clean IR book suggestions. :)

Yeah, I've been waiting for 'em myself! LOL

Oh wait, is this where the original stories are posted? Or where the book list goes?

'Cause if you need book suggestions, I got a few to toss out from my keeper shelf. Hehe :-)

Nah, I like the Original Fiction folder as the place for all stories. Feel free to make book recs though. I think they would help a lot of people. :)

I agree. I like the original fiction folder as well. Looking forward to reading some (please post some, people! :-D)

Is this going under a separate folder for the stories like the spicy ones have their own folder? I notice this is under books chat (hence my confusion, ack).

There is a spicy/interracial fiction folder. I would guess people will post their spicy stories there.

But where is the clean interracial fiction folder? :-(

May I create one?

Go for it! I deleted the comment marking this as the Clean IR Fiction folder.

Awesomesauce! Ah you could've kept your message, Danielle. I was going to see if I can break it into the new forum because I like your intro posts. I'll probably use the one from the spicy section (if that's okay) Anywho, thanks Danielle!

Ooh, we can toss out some book suggestions now. :-D

I'll get us started!

Against the Odds by Jewel Adams (Awesome book).

I'm currently reading What a Westmoreland Wants and I'm enjoying it very much! Brenda Jackson has been a miss for me in the past with her IR books but I'm really enjoying this one. Probably helps that I keep envisioning the hero as Sam Worthington (*swoon*).

That's fine. :) Ooh, Sam Worthington! Works for me!

Against The Odds was a good read.

Danielle, I know right lol. Sam W is always a plus hehe.

I agree, Arch. More like it would be awesome.

As a way to introduce people to my writing, I've posted a sweet IR on my website. It's very short, so it has a happily for now (HFN) ending instead of an HEA.

Go to my website and click on the "Free Reads" link on the right. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks Delaney. I'll check it out when I get home.

Thanks, Arch. I appreciate it.

Great! I'll check it out, Delaney!

Thanks, Danielle.

Blurb:
Have you ever wondered what your high school crush is up to? Morgan Jackson is a real estate agent based in Atlanta. By chance, she reconnects with her secret high school crush, Rodrigo Vargas. Morgan is pleasantly surprised to discover her feelings were not one-sided twelve years ago.

Thanks for sharing your story Delaney.

Thanks for checking it out, Arch.

You are welcome Delaney.

Hope it's ok to post the same book in multiple places. :x It's all about Christians and their issues, so high religious content and safe rating. Even if you're not religious though, I think it's still worth reading because it's definitely not your typical Christian read.

Totally fine, Pygmy.

Love Out Of Order by Nicole Green was a good one that was 'clean' =•]

Is it in paperback Electric07?

Yes that one is in paperback through Genesis Press:

Thanks Danielle.

YW!

Hey went to post story and there is a message saying that is closed. Is there another place to post?

Randy, I started a thread for you here:

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6...

Just let me know what you want the thread to be called, and I will change the name of the thread and delete my post.

Randy's work in progress. lol it is what it is.

Another clean IR book is Arizona allspice. Check out my review of this book at lenise lee's Publications: http://wp.me/pPT3Y-sm

My first sweet romance is due for release on October 20th! It's called WORTH WAITING FOR from Astraea Press. They're an epublisher that only publishes clean fiction. They have romance, mysteries, horror, etc.

Blurb:

Julia Newman doesn’t have time for love. Been there, done that, and she’s got the scars to prove it. Instead, she’s focused on her career. For the past few years, she has been living the life she wants. She drives a silver Mercedes, just purchased a four bedroom house in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, and she’s on her way to becoming the youngest female partner in the history of the venture capitalist firm where she works. Life couldn’t be better. Or so she thought.

Frederico “Freddie” Mendoza is the owner of Mendoza Construction. He hasn’t given up on love, but he is fed up with women who are fascinated by the fantasy of being with a blue collar man and then relegate him to a certain part of their lives. His newest customer, Julia Newman, is the kind of woman he’s decided he’ll avoid from now on. He needs to work on expanding his business. Besides, she’s not his type. Or so he thought.

I'll post an excerpt on my blog next week. I'll be back to post the link when I have it up.

That sounds really good, Delaney!

Congrats on the release and thanks for letting us know about your book and the publisher. :-) Sounds like a goodie!

Thanks, Danielle and Rae!

My sweet contemporary romance (mentioned above)--WORTH WAITING FOR--was released today!

Any more suggestions for clean IR Romance fiction?

Hi, all! My novel The Governor's Sons is clean. There's a little spiciness, but it's clean enough for 14 year old girl to read. It's a period piece that begins in the 1930s segregated South and ends in 1960s during the midst of Civil Rights Turmoil. If you liked The Help, please give The Governor's Sons a try. It's available on Amazon for 2.99. Read a sample there and see what you think!

Thanks,
Maria

Yep! Victoria Chase posted in another thread about her new romantic suspense which is the first in a three book series. It's out now and I believe you can check out an excerpt before you buy: http://stores.desertbreezepublishing....

My fave IR author, Jewel aka J Adams also posts new releases of her books pretty regularly. I believe she has some new novellas out. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I highly recommend her book, Against the Odds which got me hooked on her writing.

Also, from some of my recent reads, I also recommend Truly Madly Deeply You for a nice sweet best friends to lovers read: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

If anyone has another suggestions, please don't hesitate to post them here!

I'm just seeing your comment Rae. I have to check Jewel's site out to see what's new.

Best friends to lovers is a theme that I like to read.

Oh good! I think you will like her works. She's the best in the genre, I think.

I haven't read a story by Jewel's in a while.

Yeah I've fallen a bit out of the loop of my reading (bad Rae!) but I've been collecting her works and putting it on my reader. I'm hoping to get to her new stuff soon because I've been itching to read more since Tears of Heaven.

I can't wait to read your dangerous bad boy story. :)

Thanks Arch! I think if I do one, I may start another. The one I posted is on track for publication so I can't show it at the moment. Eep. I may have some ideas for another though. :-D

I recommend and

Also and are great reads

Heya, All,

Does anyone know of a publisher looking for sweet or clean interracial romance novels? I'm doing some preliminary research for a novella I'm writing. Hopefully, the publisher would have other books that I can read to tailor my novella after.

Thanks,

Natasha

Hey N, maybe you can try asking people on the Clean Romance Group. http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1....

Jewel Adams/J. Adams is a clean writer on the group. I've read her work. Maybe she can help you.

N, I wrote a sweet IR for Astraea Press called Worth Waiting For, and there's another IR romance there, too. I can vouch for Astraea as good company.



Topaz Publishing also publishes sweet IR, but I don't know anything about them.

Thanks! You guys are awesome!
