Tiffany Patterson: Black Burlesque Series - Black Pearl

Price: Free (e-book)

Rating: 5/5

Spice Level: 3.5/5

Worth Reading: YES!

My Thoughts: I love this book, black girl main character. I think the storyline is fresh but also has the main elements that make romance novels niche. There's a billionaire, alpha-male, and quality sex scenes. It's a 3.5/5 for spice because it has great descriptors, but there are wayyy more racy books out there. The author took the time to flesh out her characters, you feel a connection to everyone in the book and understand where they fit into the storyline. The relationship feels natural and not forced and it moves book fast but not like married in one week fast.

Author Synopsis: After leaving my abusive ex-boyfriend, I've lived a double life working as an executive assistant during the day and a burlesque performer at night. All that changes when the sexy CEO of my company walks into the club during my show.

Nikola offers me a tempting proposal-he wants to mix business with pleasure. I can't deny the heat between us that's hotter than any of my dance moves, but I'm scared to give up my freedom for another man. Especially a man like Nikola, who is determined to always be in control.

I need to decide if I'm ready to risk my heart again. But when my past catches up with me, will I be strong enough to fight for the happiness I've always longed for?

Black Pearl is the first book in the Black Burlesque Series. This is a BWWM romance that contains steamy love scenes, aggressive language and some violence. But a happily ever after is guaranteed.
