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.
Melissa,Here are a couple:
Forever Mine, by Elizabeth Reyes (WW/Latin male)
and Sacrifices in the Name of Love by Vanessa 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.
Thank you so much for the recommendations guys! I will put these on my TBR list...I have one recommendation..I read this free book on Amazon called
and it was AH-MAZING!
^^It was a really great love story with a craaazzzy twist at the end that I was not at all expecting!
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/...

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. :-)

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.

Wow, thanks Chianti! I'm glad you enjoyed Gravity! Book two, "Secrets", was actually released April 4th
and book three: Exposed will be released June 1st
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on the book!!
Does anyone know of any LM/BW YA interracial stories. And none of that latin lover crap :P
I really enjoyed The Summer of Chasing Mermaids. Also Tiger's Curse is good, but a little too predictable.
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.
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.
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.
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?

I also just finished
by Nicola Yoon I enjoyed it the story, the characters, the writing very much - a great YA read! Also great artwork in the book by the authors husband. I decided to read it after coming across the trailer, and now I can't wait to see the movie!
