Anyone that knows me can tell you how much I love Jasmine Guillory. Like a lot. Alexa Monroe, the heroine from The Wedding Date rounds out the list. Alexa is the chief of staff for a mayor in Berkeley, California and while visiting her sister at a hotel gets stuck in the elevator with a hot doctor. When he tells her he’s in town for an ex’s wedding and asks for her to be his pretend date, she says why not? Alexa is one of my top heroines because she has always played it safe and goes out of her comfort zone, finding love along the way. Alexa is a great example of the countless educated and career-minded black women who may not always make room for love, but proves taking a chance can have an amazing pay off.
These are just some of the badass black women in romance! This list certainly isn’t complete, but a great start to reading diverse heroines. Let me know some of your favorite heroines who are the definition of #BlackGirlMagic. I always welcome recommendations!

This is an Amazing list and I am chopping at the bit to get my hands on every one of them! Thank you for the reviews, it was done in a most intoxicating way that is intriguing
Dear Aaliyah,
Have you ever thought about tapping into the world of Indie writers?? A lot of us , like myself, have great potential minus the powerful publishing backing to help us get discovered. I invite you to read my first book “ Sweet Like Rain” and shed some light on the world of Indie authors. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Kia George
Hi Kia!
Maureen Smith, who is featured in this article, writes as both published and indie. Of course, there are more indie authors to discover and I'm slowly making my way through the never ending TBR. Thanks for the recommendation!
