Got sucked into this author who never fails to deliver tension-filled, feel-good romances. She weaves in mental health issues and complex relationship themes but I'm looking for a little more variety. If y'all have any recs of romance books centering Black/Brown characters let me know!

One of my fav stops when I'm in WA is visiting Gramps. He's 97 and loves himself some IHOP pancakes. Bonus catch up with my aunt who is a 2x cancer survivor, widow and all around wonderful person. Of course, I drag around my college age niece who spills all the tea on people I don't actually know.
