When James met Emilienne, he was 17 and ignorant. Emilienne was fierce and full of fight for her rights to be treated just as equally as James was. James, now in his late 60's, tells the story of their love, their struggles and trials and tribulations as an interracial couple navigating a radically liberal lifestyle during the second half of the 20th century.
There are many moments in this book that calls out white privilege, if that triggers you, then read something else that cradles your white fragility.

A Forbidden Love ( Michael Jackson Fan Fic)
All Ariel's life she was taught that blacks and whites are not the same that whites were better than blacks. Ariel never paid to much attention to the way things were between the two races until she met Michael. Ariel's life changes after she meets Michael. Love is torn, people are hurt and relationships are broken through the fight of equality. This story takes place around the 50s-60s. I hope you all understand the way thing were back then and won't get offended by any type of racial slur used. I am not racist at all. Ariel kind of represents me I guess not that I've been in love but that if someone loves someone of the separate race they should be aloud to be with them. I hope you guys are as excited as I am about this story. I'm going to do some more research about the civil rights movements and about how things were back then before i start writing also. Love you guys! Hope you like it:)Complete
Better Than The Movies
In this world, there are some people who get their happily ever afters and others who don't. Those who get their magical fairytale romance, cherish it for as long as it lasts while the others never get to enjoy the wonders of a fairytale. Instead, they are forced to stay inside their hopeless reality and grow old thinking about what they did to deserve never getting their once upon a time. I think those are the ones who wanted it bad enough. They craved a fairytale more than life itself. Devoted their lives to Disney movies and romance books just to be let down by the real world. I think I'm destined to be one of those people. Then he showed up. And fucked up everything I thought I knew.Complete

You, And Only You(BWWM)✔
"So, you don't care that we are so different?" I ask him, his face inches apart from mine. "Does it bother you?" He asks back in his husky voice. "Not at all," I reply. "Okay then," he says bringing his face closer and kissing me. Marie-Anne and Dylan are from two different worlds, but fate brought them together. With their differences: he is rich, she is poor, he is white, she is black and with his mother not afraid to do anything to ruin their relationship it seems like the whole world is against them. Will they fight the world together or will they eventually realize that the world is right? And yes, it's a little cliché, but it has twists and turns that you would have never expected. This book is based on my imagination, please do not copy it. Cover by: Me❤Complete
The Yellow
Dedication This is for all the people who had to find out the hard way that family is not who you are blood related to, but to the people who are actively there for you every day and will help you fight when you feel that you have nothing left to give. Thank you to my yellow's, who without I wouldn't be alive right now. You are my family and I will fight forever to keep you safe and happy as you have done for me. Authors Note This book is written as if I were talking directly to you within a conversation, I want you to feel as though you can take part within this conversation so after each chapter there will be a few pages where you can write your responses to the section if you wish. This isn't a true story for some but for others it is just life. Hard, and at times shitty, but we work through it and most times the hard work pays off. I would love to hear your experiences when you write a response that you want me to see, post it on instagram, tag the chapter title, and then @ my account at @booklover7963. I will try to read as much as I can. I look forward to seeing your side of the conversation and hearing your story.Complete
True love waits
Instantly my face becomes straight in dead seriousness as I clear my throat."You shouldn't be seen with me anyways." Arching his beautiful eye brows you could tell he was generally confused, almost like he wasn't aware of the rules. "Why not?" Noah questioned. "Oh, come on don't pretend you don't notice I'm black!" "I'm fully aware that you're black, but that doesn't tell me why I can't be seen with you!" Sighing as I rolled my eyes I explain. "Certain folks around here don't take to kindly when our people mingle!" "Oookkkaaayyy-who cares what certian people around here thinks?" Shaking my head as I rolled my eyes once again, he just didn't get it."Look, I've seen what happens when certain people catches guys like you, talking to girls like me, I don't know you all that well, but no one deserves that type of beating." "I don't like being told who I can and can't be interested in." "Nobody does." In this love story Scarlett a black woman unintentionally goes against the social norms when she falls in love with Noah a white man in a town that is permanently stuck in the 1950's segregation in the south type era, only thing is, its not the 1950's, it 2018.Complete
Drizzled (BWWM)
It's the 1950s and interracial love still isn't accepted. Despite that Addy finds herself being relentlessly chased by Blake, the typical all American boy. Due to trying to make this story as historically accurate as I can, there are racial slurs in this narrative. In addition to those there are also mature sexual themes.Complete
Love Crossed
Some love stories don't need endings. They just bleed into the next chapter. Nine days. That's all they had. A wedding romance in India, over before it began. Three years later, fate drops them in the same Leipzig university, and everything has rotted sweet. She doesn't want his love anymore. She wants his hatred, and she's better at earning it than he expects. He wants her to fall for him again, not for love, but to watch it break her. Neither of them is telling the truth about what happened three years ago. Neither of them is entirely who they used to be. And the girl from those nine days? She isn't always the one answering to her name. Across two continents, through a buried scandal and the wreckage of two families, Love Crossed is a dark romance about the people we become to survive the people we've loved.Complete
