Perfect Chemistry is Latino boy/white girl romance. The second book, Rules of Attraction is as well. I think the third book is both Latino characters.

Delaney Diamond (delaney_diamond) Melissa,

Here are a couple:
Forever Mine, by Elizabeth Reyes (WW/Latin male) Forever Mine by Elizabeth Reyes and Sacrifices in the Name of Love by Vanessa Johnson Sacrifices in the Name of Love by Vanessa Alexander Johnson

Also, try this blog. The blogger reads a lot of MC YA, so I'm sure she'll have something you might like: http://blackteensread2.blogspot.com/

She's also on Goodreads, so you can check her shelf.

Thanks so much for the heads up, Melissa. That sounds really good.


message 7: by Melissa (new)

Melissa (melissa_wy) ^^It was a really great love story with a craaazzzy twist at the end that I was not at all expecting!


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

I am not sure my book classifies, but my heroine is 18 and the guy is well, in his twenties.

It's called Winter Haven: a novel. Check it out here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...

I think Tiger's Curse (Tiger Series, #1) by Colleen Houck is a YA IR, but its also fantasy.

Vixen is interracial? What's the combination?

CaliGirlRae (rae_l) | 2017 comments Mod
Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis is another one and it was awesome! I loved it. Can't wait for A Million Suns.

I also enjoyed Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore which had the start of an IR romance which will continue in the second book (can't wait)!

An upcoming Dafina IR YA series was mentioned here I think but I can't for the life of me remember the name or author. :-(

Across the Universe is SFR/ YA/IR?! I must have it!!

Troysmom09 | 24 comments These are some YA paranormal IR that I have enjoyed. Asleep (Asleep, #1) by Wendy Raven McNair and

Yup! The interesting thing about the book is in the future, the default for everyone is mixed race. It's not clearly defined but their features are dark skin color, rather kinky hair and different shades of eye color. So when the main female char, a redhead, pale, freckle face girl, awakens and wanders on deck, the hero and everyone are a bit shocked because she is so different. I thought it was refreshing to read with that perspective. YA SF is really taking the cake on good stories these days. Hope to find more IR themed ones. If I don't get to write my own first, hehe. :-)

Chianti (chebad) | 1 comments Hello,

I don't know whether this particular forum is still of interest to anyone, but, Gravity by Raven St. Pierre is an excellent book that fits this particular topic. The heroine is African American and the hero of the story is of an Asian descent, both are teenagers. It also speaks to the prejudices that some interracial couples still face and the troubles that they have from families and friends. I will warn that it's a series and the second book has yet to come out.

Raven Pierre (raven_st_pierre) | 59 comments Wow, thanks Chianti! I'm glad you enjoyed Gravity! Book two, "Secrets", was actually released April 4th Secrets (Free Falling Series, #2) by Raven St. Pierre and book three: Exposed will be released June 1st Exposed (Free Falling, #3) by Raven St. Pierre

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on the book!!


Paganalexandria  | 4065 comments Armored (The Té-trad Tale, #1) by M.A. Wilder is a IR YA fantasy romance.


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Does anyone know of any LM/BW YA interracial stories. And none of that latin lover crap :P


message 28: by Shalom (new)

Shalom Bellamy | 43 comments The Callous Catcher (The Gifted, #1) by Ebony Easter great paranormal read and the first in the series.


message 30: by Cassie (new)

Cassie (boocluvr) | 6 comments I really enjoyed The Summer of Chasing Mermaids. Also Tiger's Curse is good, but a little too predictable.


message 31: by Liane (new)

Liane | 74 comments The Bet series by Francette Phal is YA IR series. its an excellent, emotional, especially the last book. and yes all 3 book have been written.

Pygmy Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee

I just finished reading this book. It is a pleasant story, about 2 Chinese and black girls who cross-dress and escape together from bad circumstances out West, join up with 2 Irish and 1 Mexican guys, and all become good friends, take care of each other, and of course, fall in love (AWWM, BWLM). The Chinese girl searches for a friend of her dead father; the black girl searches for her older brother, but it's pretty sweet to see how they are willing to sacrifice for the sake of supporting each other.


message 33: by Pygmy (new)

Pygmy Of Metal and Wishes (Of Metal and Wishes, #1) by Sarah Fine

Inspired by Phantom of the Opera. Very well written with complex race relations, oppressive serf/indentured dynamic, enclosed slaughterhouse/factory setting, some minor aspects of horror, and of course, a love triangle. However, beware that this book contains excessive amounts of rape threats. =( It made sense at first, but later on I just wanted to start castrating people, even though something always occurs to prevent the rape from happening.


message 34: by Pygmy (new)

Pygmy Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older

Just read this YA book that was diverse and had an interesting fantasy concept of imbibing paintings/drawings with the power of spirits. It is Puerto Rican girl x Haitian guy, though not sure it's "inter-racial" if possibly both are black?? The girl is described as having kinky hair and dark skin, but I don't think that's exclusive to black ppl?
