So Many Agoes by colphelgreene

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.

You, And Only You(BWWM)✔ by LouiseC13

"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❤
