Introverted Ilhaam is a hopeless romantic waiting for her own love story, but somehow has come to believe that no man will ever truly love her because of one feature that she is very insecure about - being BROWN-SKINNED.
Will Ilhaam meet the man of her dreams? 
Will she overcome her unending insecurities?
Above all, will she learn to love herself?

-------

B.O.A.T is more than just a cliche romance. It is a story that revolves around a real social issue - COLORISM, which for years has tormented many people's lives, including mine.

I've tried my best to portray the struggles of a brown-skinned girl as it is, which sometimes might look too exaggerated and negative for some readers. Of course, I could've written about a girl who finds comfort and loves her skin tone right from chapter one (because who doesn't like to read about a confident heroine, right?), but I didn't want to sugar-coat anything. This is a story about heartbreak, fighting through your insecurities, falling down, picking yourself up, and learning to love yourself without the need of validation from a man.

Try reading it :) You'd love it ♥️

Clash Of Cultures by Malikadoc

#1 in the desi medical romance series Her lips were inches from mine and her sweet scent filled the air between us, intoxicating me. I slid my hand down her bare arm, reveling in the way her smooth, soft skin made mine tingle. We were alone in the hallway outside the ballroom and all I could think of was pushing her against the wall and crashing my lips on to hers. She had to have felt something, because she stood still in front of me, breathless, her eyes locked on to mine only to break away and wander down to my lips. =============== She was a young woman from a conservative culture trying to adjust to her new life in the West.

Melting Hearts by sandysandra92

If you're looking for a typical hot and handsome hero, then go ahead, read the story. But, if you're expecting a typical romance story - to bad, this ain't one! Our Sahana is as her name suggests - shy, sweet and innocent. And not so surprising is the fact that she's an introvert too! Our Arush is the total opposite of his name - he's cold, arrogant, egoistic and the cause of many heartbreaks {i.e, he's not the remover of pain, rather, he's a pain in the ass - quite literally!} So what happens when two opposites fall in love with each other, the only common factor between them being that they both are introverts? An egoistic bastard and a shy angel - would they get together? Oh there's gonna be suspense, and drama and loads and loads of comedy. This is a romantic book so there's gonna be love too...but how would an introvert's love story be? Would love really blossom? Would the cold heart melt? All you have to do is read more to find out. Started reading the story?? Goody good... just a teeny help - VOTE for the chapter after you've read it! {pretty please??? Please with puppy-dog-eyes!} Cheers! -M P.S.S - thank you @luciharp for the amazing cover! <3
